He reminded me of this:

Rawhide!

I HAD THAT FANNY PACK!! THE EXACT SAME ONE!! vision street wear, y'all.

why do we have a column who'se sole purpose seems to be making fun of people?

I thought that was pretty much the point of every thread.

Fanny pack + man scarf= One very confused young man

i have a very similar vision street wear hipsack somewhere. it got me so much makeout in 8th grade.

This is fashion??

Why do people criticize this guy for being original? Does "style" mean that you have to fit into a mold or follow a common ideal of what's "cool" today? Why would someone who claims to be an "individual" want to look and dress like everyone else?

I think there is a serious clash between two common ideals today: being an individual, and being cool or hip. You CANNOT be both, by definition. Popular culture says that to be cool I have to wear A and B, but if I really want to be an individual I should shun all trendy things and create my OWN unique style. You cannot simultaneously be cool and hip AND a unique individual.

So choose! Either follow the herd and be a fashion "sheep" OR try to create your OWN style and ignore what society tells you is cool or hip. By following today's trends and styles, you are taking the easy way out and you are no better than someone blindly following religion or a political dictator.

The trendsetters and the truly original people in society are the ones who create their OWN style or their own original ideas. These people have always been outcasts, so it's a hard life to really be original, thus why most people choose to follow trends and traditions and just become like everyone else.

Good thoughts. The problem is, the guy in the photo created his own look and it happens to look like shit.

I was watching a Comidian last night. He's the English Pub Keep or something like that.

He said in his country they hunt Foxes. There are the dogs the chase the foxes, and out of those dogs there is always one dog that cant smell worth a shit. so all he does is follow the other dogs around.... "all he does if follow a bunch of assholes"

then he says, "thats what I think of Fashion"

the only reason i have to look at these are for the insults from fractal, theyre so great

Is that K-Fed?

finding a homeless Icelander is no easy task.

They're already doing stirrup pants. They're bringing every trend from the 80's back.

lighten up, it's just fashion.

this guy missed an awesome chance to pimp the side ponytail.

if only he had a scrunchie
