Angela McRobbie, professor of communications at Goldsmiths College in the UK, says the appeal of the hoodie is because of its promise of anonymity, mystery and anxiety. "The point of origin is obviously black American hip-hop culture, now thoroughly mainstream and a key part of the global economy. Leisure and sportswear adopted for everyday wear suggests a distance from the world of office suit or school uniform. Rap culture celebrates defiance, as it narrates the experience of social exclusion. Musically and stylistically, it projects menace and danger as well as anger and rage. The hooded top is one in a long line of garments chosen by young people, usually boys, to which are ascribed meanings suggesting that they are 'up to no good'. In the past, such appropriation was usually restricted to membership of specific youth cultures - leather jackets, bondage trousers - but nowadays it is the norm among young people to flag up their music and cultural preferences in this way, hence the adoption of the hoodie by boys across the boundaries of age, ethnicity and class."



Thinking about, almost everyone has that one hoodie that they wear almost religiously.
It's one of those comfort things, that if you even get the slightest chill you just throw on.
Like Linus and his blue blanket.
I had a BlackLabel hoodie that I wore till it fell apart.

Now I'm lacking a comfort hoodie and I could really use one these days. frown

My search has begun.

Maybe you can post me a pick of your fave hoodie? confused
