things like the grunge "look" only become a fashion after it is picked up from the original people, who, for whatever reason, just happened to look that way. That is the "fashion" I do not like. Designer flannels were stupid in every regard and most everyone who bought into that is now wearing skinny ties and black suits and moustaches, and wil soon be tired of that nonsense as well.

please let this emo thing die soon!

I mean DEEP ignorance. punk bands wore what they owned, an to this day wear what they own and regularly wear anyway. that is part of the appeal of punk, that the guys on stage are JUST LIKE US, regular people who get up and rock, not dudes that have to put on some glam show like Bowie or prog rock or metalheads. (this excludes what I call Fashion Punks that still try to look like they live in 1977 London)

not everyone has a fashion. that is a stupid statement. the butthole surfers had no fashion. minor threat had no fashion. sonic youth has never had a "fashion", which does NOT mean Kim does not dress sytlish. They wear what they wear, and others copy them to become a fashion, you dig?

minutemen had no FASHION. you ask Mike Watt why he wore flannels and he will tell you exactly why, they are rugged, comfortable, and have two pockets with flaps so he can carry hi shit without it spilling out (he has said this many times).

ignorance is a slippery slope my friend.

Sonic Youth I'll admit don't dress like anyone else. Or rather, they dress like an average joe. However, when a large group dresses the same that is a fashion or fad. Denying this is fucking stupid.

Nirvana, etc all dressed the same.

Punk bands may wear what they own. Everyone does. How do you wear something you don't own, asshat?

Being punk and anti-conformity causes them to show their own conformity.

To be blunt, you're fucking stupid. Granted, you do live in Texas. I can excuse a little bit. I'm not 12. I'm 16.

Being a faggot I know far more about fashion than you could ever imagine. I know what fashion is. You're some fat slob with a fried brain who doesn't know anything other than shitty music.

Continue to fuck off.

There's nothing inherantly wrong with having an imaged band as long as you have the music to back it up. Those who seem to listen to music purely as a fashion accessory do tend to piss me off, but in the end clothes, image, fashion etc are supposed to be about fun, not some big serious statement of your ethics.

Finally someone read my mind exactly and posted it for me.Repped and all.....

I'd love that to be a double post because it's too good and the best image-conscious/unconscious post i've read in this thread.

you know exactly what I mean haydensache.
Most bands we all love wear the shit out of their closets, shit they would wear every single day all day. the "fashion" bands wear stage-specific fashions. BIG difference.

Hush up Le Boob Instingator!You've said enough.

Stage specifiic fashion. Somehow I doubt Devo would have worked in flannel.

Yay!Yay!Yay!Yay!Yay!

Yay indeed.
I can't believe it took so long for Devo to be mentioned.

Hello?The
Residents?Hello there?Can you hear me?

Duh! How could I forget?

God I love those guys.

Then again that never really took off as a fashion as such. Shame.

Best image ever.Hello?Kraftwerk?Hello?Can you hear me?

.....and that did take off.Hello?

Didn't The Velvets have to dress all in black because of the amount of film projected on them while playing live as well as protecting themselves with sunglasses?Hello?Hello?Can you hear me?

I thought they had to dress in black because that is how one Looks Cool.

if they wanted the films to be projected well, they would have been wearing white.
