Alright faggots listen up, I see pic related at my college, and I hate it. Colorless shitty windbreakers.

These people have NO style whatsoever. Nothing unique, nothing that even remotely stands out.

It makes me fucking sick. It makes me ball my fists in rage at how utterly incompetent people are at expressing themselves.

I wish for a time that was envisioned long ago. The 80s future we never got. The future of color and style.

Now all we have is plain, black and white, monochrome garbage that needs to be thrown away and burned.

Simply put, wearing alot of colour and crazy designs is acceptable when there is money around, people are free to express, show off if you will. When money is low, we are said to conserve, act accordingly.

The late 90s was just the sweet point between boring shit and overblown shit. There was nothing really great about it.

The 00s were trash though. I look at how kids today dress and though they still look like shit, it's way better than the boring drab ugly hot topic hoodie,bottom of jeans ripped from letting them drag under your shoes, and fucking ironic tees.
