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

).

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.

and the standard of music is considerably lower.

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.

23-02-2011 02:38AM

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

Azureus · 23-02-2011 09:13AM

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.
