/fa/ - Fashion

The people who are going to shape and define fashion in the coming years are going to be people who themselves were shaped and defined by sites like Style Zeitgeist either directly or indirectly. The butterfly effect Faust has set in motion by simply existing is colossal.

A friend of mine who used to be a bmx biker once told me a really interesting anecdote. He said how back when he used to bmx bike (15~ years ago) everything was really simple and none of the tricks were particularly crazy, he said at the time though it felt like the sport had plateaued and it wasn't going to get any crazier. The fascinating part is what happened when him and his friends recorded videos and younger kids watched them. The younger kids would watch these videos and think that was the bar. The tricks these guys were doing that were their absolute best, what they thought was good enough to record on video, these kids would see these tricks and think that's the norm. Then they would go on to add upon them and make them even crazier. They'd record videos as well and then the next generation would watch them and the cycle would repeat. Today some of the shit people do on bmx bikes is absolutely insane, but what's even more crazy is to think there's kids out there watching these videos and thinking that's normal, now how do I top it?
