When will this trend end?
yeah, ok, I'm getting old
It's like a freakin uniform and I'm getting
pretty fed up with it. Backwards baseball cap, flip flops, cargo shorts (or cut
off cargo pants) and a stupid t-shirt. It is the uniform from the teens until
the 20s and it is pissing me off. Forget the fact that it is impractical: I see
it most in the city, where I live, where flip flops are the stupidest thing to
wear as you step over broken glass. It is the fact that this uniform combines
two of my least favorite stereotypes: flip-flops, which is straight out of the
hippy surfer aesthetic; and the backwards baseball cap which was made cool by
Chuck D and lame by Fred Durst and now is more frat guy than hip
hop.
Today I saw a small crowd of these
identically dressed automatons walking down the street, oblivious to how sad
they looked.
Please lets move on to the
next stupid fashion trend. This one is way
over.
And before you think that it is
only the young uniform that pisses me off... My second favorite lame uniform is
the dockers and polo shirt combination that passes for casual wear on most of
the people my age and older.
