How clothing hasn't changed!

fakearms123

Clothing hasn't really changed since the 80's, we have gone back to that era of style where your wearing no lense thick glasses, shaved sideburns with long fringe, leather jacket over old addidas bright blue zip up, sister's skinny jeans and converse... kids nowadays think this look is new and hip (hipsters) but this style has been done before, at least in the 90's we changed it up a bit with the age of nintendo and sega when it was cool to wear a sonic the hedgehog t-shirt and three quarter length shorts, wearing shorts was what the 90's was all about and watching Art Attack and wearing Ren and Stimpy pajamas!

Kids nowadays don't realise they are living in a revised era, its been done before Bjorn formerly known as Kevin, just because you use a Mac now to retouch your photography and you write your thoughts on a blog instead of a diary and playing synth in a band has been around a lot longer than you think Kevin!

I was sitting around temple bar the other week and the amount of lads walking around like they're fresh off a Flock of Seagulls music video is ridiculous! Have they ever seen a sci-fi film from the 80's, we're suppose to be wearing silver metallic outfits with tall styled hair and jackets with lcd monitors on them with little bleepy red and green lights going off! Instead we're going backwards! Did I watch Blade Runner for nothing! Marty McFly would be falling off his hover skateboard right now!

Ted remember that lad who was so good at fashion they had to shoot him?

OP, your parents' generation were saying the very same kinda stuff about your generation when you were a kid. In the 80s there was an obsession with the 50s/60s - possibly as a result of the Levi ads, films like Stand By Me, La Bamba and Dirty Dancing, loads of 60s songs were re-released, there was (it pains me to revisit the memories)... Jive Bunny... (sorry

Yeah in general late 00's fashion was a bit of everydecade.

Or as the hipster/dickhead video put iy"Vintage fun with a new age feel *shudders*

Some people are borderline hypothermic because they follow the summer trends in winter or maybe I'm wrong!

There is rarely an original idea in fashion, or in any real art form to be honest. Everyone is inspired by something, everyone is influenced by something else. It's human nature. It's a continuous cycle, what was once hip and is now considered "dated," will be reinvented and will be hip again and so forth.

Every single fashion trend that has ever existed has been remodeled/remarketed to suit the waiting masses.

I bought a massive knit cardigan the other day. My mother took immense pleasure telling me it was hugely similar to something SHE wore when she was 19. No doubt I'll be telling my daughter the same thing.

Happens to everything: Music, fashion, tv, cinema. Remake, Reuse, recycle, take inspiration from. Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

If you want to get annoyed about something in fashion, why don't you get annoyed at the scores of people who think they're being "ironic" and "non-conformist" by dressing the exact same way as their peers?

Oh you're a goth? You're a hipster? You're rebelling against social norms by dressing the EXACT same way as your mates? Gargh,

I've nothing against dressing "different," but at least have the balls to admit that you're not doing anything original.

Sigh.

Yeah it could be argued that that has been said by every generation too, but I personally think it's never been so applicable as today. Has there ever been anything as bad as Justin Bieber and ****ing Jedward?!

At least when oldies were whingeing about The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin it was only because they didn't recognise a good thing when they heard it...

But it's only because we have to live through the hype. Bieber and Jedward aren't what's going to be remembered. They're current, popular and thus, fleeting. To be fair, "popular" and "mainstream" music is never REALLY the epicentre of creative output in any generation.

Can you imagine what all those hepcool jazz-cats thought of this:

We are many, join us. I don't even mind the actual act in itself. Everyone needs clothes y'know? I've nothing against looking good, or even following a certain trend you think looks good, that's cool, but if I call a hipster a hipster, or a goth a goth, I don't want them to be morally outraged, (not that I would ever really do that.) But that's the demographic into which they're placing themselves by dressing and acting a certain way. As in, SURELY you know, if you're buying that spiked dog collar and Manson tee shirt, you're going to be perceived as a goth. Don't try sugar-coat the turd dude.

True, im wearing the same clothes for the last 5 years.

Azureus

Cant even count the amount of times my mam has told me something I own is similar to/reminds her of xxx that she wore when she was my age. By the sounds of it she had some savage clothes, AND we're the same size. Dammit, wish she was a hoarder

Every year some fashion cycle repeats itself/takes direct influence from another era. Its the 60's/70's this year, it was the 80's year before last. Im suprised Mad Men hasnt got everyone wearing 50's stuff tbh, although that prob gonna happen soon enough. It's only really obvious on people who directly follow trends though; the majority of people mix and match different styles to their taste creating something new. Unfortunately dressing straight from the manniquens in shop windows just makes you look like a trendy-its-been-done-already bore a lot of the time.

Making a guess I think the swinging 30's are next for a renewal.

They had a recession (1929)http://investmentdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/stock-market-crash.jpg

They made ballroom dancing cool http://www.perfectmusicforweddings.com/info/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/swing-dancers1.jpg

we made it an obsession http://www.latestseasonepisode.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Strictly-Come-Dancing.jpg

and all the other parallels I can't be bothered finding right now.

I for one welcome our new bigband jazz overlords.
Praise Yolanda B cool for being so far ahead of his time.
