wtf is overdesigned

but dadcore's not meaningless, it's just an alternative word for really daddy looking"menswear". It's the mfa look with red wings, cuffed raw jeans, sweater and a shirt. The kind of outfit that makes you look like a dad even if you pull it off (which some people do)

I hate the people who try to claim dadcore means shit like OPs pic and claims their shirt and boots equal superiour "menswear". It's like if gothninjas would try to say they are modern avant garde instead of black clowns.

Goth ninja doesn't have to be draped, you said that there's nothing "ninja" about the fit, but thats closer to what people think ninjas dressed like than draped clothing. Its in the style of the jacket, the shirt, and boots.
