Lunarcore isn't my style, but how can you not respect it? It's people making an affirmative decision to actually style themselves to express their aspirations and outlook on life.

Nobody's trying to "force" anything. They're making something happen *for themselves*. Yeah, sure, there's a lot of uncertain people without the knowledge or confidence to innovate much dickriding poet and copying the formats of his fits but that's... every fashion thing ever? You haters think you're sui generis in Acne and Common Projects, or Boris and CCP, or 'Preme and Nike, or T&A and CDBs, or whatever you're on?

And it's not giving them enough credit, either. This shit is incremental, always is.

And to call >>7147711 "cosplay" is just so high up on the "are you even looking, fuccboi" scale. That's maybe the least costumey space-related fit I've seen on here - what astronaut wears an all over print of a space shuttle? And it's also markedly different from anything poet ever posted.

Just give up on hating, since you're putting so little effort into it anyway, and go do your own thing. Stunt on the stunt pilots.

some people are and will, but for me and whoever else who wants to speak up, we genuinely like the style. we aren't trying to force anything, the opposite is true: we're doing what comes naturally, because we enjoy the look.

if i get laughed at, so be it. who cares?

and stop trying to say this is the next gothninja. who fucking cares. why do people get so hung up on the name? fashion is about what you look like. its about enjoying the way you look.

>Lunarcore isn't my style, but how can you not respect it?
1. because out of about 20 people who have attempted to create a fit in line with this style, maybe 5 have succeeded in not looking like total mongs, and only 2 have done it genuinely well
2. for most who attempt, it's just the flavor of the month

now, i'm not going to act like this rate of success isn't reflected by most styles, but lunarcore is just too flimsy with too poor of a track record as of now to gain my respect

i don't respect newborn babies for shitting all over themselves just because they're young, and i'm not going to respect lunacore just because it's in its infancy

lunarfags, you must earn respect

with that said, i'm working on a fit myself that could be painted as lunarcore and do like a lot of the stuff the style draws inspiration from, so it's not like i have a bias against the idea itself or anything

I think the reason it gets hated on so much is that it isn't a defined aesthetic yet. There aren't designers producing specific pieces, pop culture hasn't spotlighted it yet, and as far as media goes, it's pretty much restricted to /fa/, a couple tumblrs, and maybe a smaller forum or two. Besides Poet, Knoch, and maybe a few others, there aren't many people who have really nailed down the look yet and given certain elements credible aesthetic value with which to build off of.

It's not like other styles, such as gothninja, where you can go buy out Rick's full line and post shit like "rick hat, 2x rick asymmetrical tees, rick jawns, rick geos" and get compliments like SICK FIT BRUH 10/10 KILLIN IT. You have to put thought into it. It isn't defined. Right now it's an abstract idea, with elements from an array of different styles compromising experimental fits that all emit a certain feel.

>>7147933
See above. Aesthetically it isn't flimsy at all; most fits draw heavily from military/tactical sources, which have been in style for ages, with a dash of weathered techwear and occasional drapey/distressed cloth (which is high fashion right now). It is, however, fairly flimsy in its definition. Because of all the ideas coming together at once, there really isn't a one yet. At this point it's just a bunch of ideas getting thrown around, with a focus on using bleakly futuristic fits as inspiration.

That was simply to highlight the fact that there are designer pieces that hold value in the gothninja aesthetic, as well as any other defined style. It's not so much that they're GOING to look good together, it's just that they were MADE to look good together. Lunar has no defined designers or pieces. Nothing here was made to be combined. It's a collage of different styles, all aimed at producing a certain image.

that aside, gothninja is not a predetermined subset of styles, it's determined by those the engage, just like lunarcore or w/e etc etc just like everything in the industry, largely conceived by those that engage, later interpretated by industry to produce etc etc down up up down

the fact that you dont get this idea is kindve really indicative of how naive you are...?
>Are you saying designers don't construct their pieces to work with each other
no...im saying no one produces a collection with 'GOTHNINJA' in mind (maybe boris and zb but idk) you only perceive it as that because well...youre an idiot.
often they just produce what they like and feel like and want just like any designer, the mass will consume what they feel like in accordance to their desires but i dont think it's ever entirely thoughtfulness...
like you're whole discussion is some preconceived stigma towards people that wear rick owns or s/t trying to imply their fits are any less thoughtful because they employ garments from popular designers??

like idk, you sound incredibly stupid
it sounds like the reason you like lunarcore is because u think 'LOL THIS IS THE HARDMODE OS FASHUN EVERYTHIN ELS IS CASUAL' and/or want to be recognised by poet or s/t
opposed to a natural draw towards certain designs etc etc (personal interest).

there's really a lot to say about why your perception is completely ridiculous but tbh i dont have the time to go through every facet and explain it so if you could just specify what you dont get???

you were trying to say that it's production is more credible than others because you think it's harder to source when in reality their are a lot of 'sci-fi' and historical sources you can ref to for ideas
it's not accurate.

there are designers who produce garments that could be considered 'lunarcore' imo.

Poet was always interested in space and related elements which is why it makes sense for him to develop such a style, but the rest have just been fuccboi anons trying to give themselves a sense of false identity.

I see what you're saying now.

No, gothninja is not predetermined, but in order for something to be labeled as gothninja, it must display the characteristics that warrant that label.

Such as:
monochrome or all black
drapey fabrics
interesting hoods or scarves
distorted proportions

It has been engaged and interpreted, as you said.

I'm not trying to bash on anything. I'm just saying certain brands and characteristics have become staples of the style. I have absolutely no preconceived stigma towards it; I'd absolutely own "gothninja" style pieces if I could afford to pull off the aesthetic without buying cheap shit that doesn't look right.
Would it have been less irritating if I used a different archetype as an example?

>LOL THIS IS THE HARDMODE OS FASHUN EVERYTHIN ELS IS CASUAL
What? I like it because it combines military, tech, future, and (in my interpretation) grunge aesthetics in a neat way. I've been into military stuff for a while and this is just an interesting extension of that. Plus it's warm and functional (again in my interpretation). Nice for winter.

If I wanted recognition, praise, or attention, wouldn't I stick with a "safe" style that is accepted by those around here? Poet's gone; there's no solid positive recognition left.

Indeed it's how you perceive them, but again, in order for something to fit a style it must fit that style's criteria. I'm saying there are no defined criteria for this aesthetic yet; it's vague and nebulous. There are very few examples from which to draw common elements and create a definition.

It has not yet been engaged and interpreted in any recognizable scope.

Hopefully that makes sense?

>>7148624
I'll readily admit that Poet and Knoch pioneered the idea, but if "posers" and "bandwagoners" didn't follow it and try and push it in new directions, how would it evolve? This applies to EVERY style and idea in general. If it was just two people, it would not have a name.

>Would it have been less irritating if I used a different archetype as an example?
it wouldn't have mattered because you dont know what youre talking about so youll just as ignorantly bag it into 'X-CORE' without any real appreciation of the context and/or design.

what are these buzzwords? do you even know how rooted military is almost all designs in the 21st cent? ofc. not, you don't know shit.
'tech, future, and grunge' - okay, i cant breath.

> I wanted recognition, praise, or attention,
no because there are other retards like you which poet (maybe unconsciously) has cultured to just perceive real novel shit for the sake of it being novel - like idk if youve ever seen lunar threads but people like, await the presence of poet so they can all just circle jerk him and by proxy each other. it's probably the only true circle jerk on /fa/.

C'mon man. For one, this whole attack comes off as utterly conceited.

>the label is fabricated
>the characteristics you think define it are imposed by your preconceived internet education.
>they dont exist otherwsie, seriously i would feel so sorry for you if you actually used gothninja in a serious context anywhere, let alone outside of 4chan.
Of course it's not a serious term. If I wanted to be exact/proper I'd refer to the aesthetic as avant-garde. Labels are, by nature, fabricated. It's a descriptive term that has been invented to group entities with similar characteristics. That's how humans communicate ideas. If my description is nuts, then how do you classify anything?

You can argue that "Oh nothing fits labels everything is up to interpretation", but, generally, everything fits a label.

>it wouldn't have mattered because you dont know what youre talking about so youll just as ignorantly bag it into 'X-CORE' without any real appreciation of the context and/or design.
"X-CORES" are fabricated labels that describe certain combinations of aesthetic elements. They're juvenile terms but they convey the general ideas of specific aesthetics.

>what are these buzzwords? do you even know how rooted military is almost all designs in the 21st cent? ofc. not, you don't know shit.
Buzzwords? I can't use descriptive, relevant, identifiable terms? Of course it has elements in many designs because that's how things evolve; older styles fuse and create new ones. Do I need to break aesthetics down into their basic elements every time I want to explain something?

>await the presence of poet so they can all just circle jerk him and by proxy each other
Many people appreciated his content, original ideas, knowledge, and input. He was positive and just enjoyable to be around. People were interested to see what new directions things would take. If being positive and constructive is circle jerking then I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

>what you define as spacecore just look like normal guys in MA-1's wearing ostentatious white boots to me, you only label it as spacecore because it's convenient and helps to aggregate the circle
I didn't define shit. Bombers seem to fit well with the aesthetic because they're featured in many sources that are drawn from, as are various types of boots.

>the idea that poet is the crux of the style further promotes my point that he was kind of the sole pioneer and everyone else just wanted his attention
It's pretty well known that he was the major force in starting it. Each individual to come after him will have their own reasons for picking up the idea. It doesn't matter whether it's for acceptance, attention, or personal interest. As long as they're coming up with new ideas and contributing to the evolution of an idea I see it as a positive. This applies to all styles and movements.

>lmao, youre a retard
>the criteria is self imposed, there is no authority for this criteria, it's absolute bs.
There are most definitely criteria. A Labrador Retriever is a dog because it meets the criteria for being a dog and not, say, a reptile.

>I'm saying there are no defined criteria for this aesthetic yet; it's vague and nebulous
>wtf, no you arent
>wtf - you went out of your way to try define 'GOFNIGAS' several times in this thread.
I was referring to Lunarcore. There are few real-world examples by which to draw defining characteristics.

That's costume design. That is not a real-world application. Those are outfits designed and displayed in fictional environments. They are references from which elements can be drawn, but many are way too fictional to bring into the real world.

Lunarcore (imo) is about combining those references with real-world, contemporary design in order to create an aesthetic that evokes a futuristic feel without being drawn into costume territory. Eventually it'll evolve to become bolder, but for now it walks the line between reality and fiction.

With that I'm done. It's been an incredibly long weekend, and I really should have spent this time writing things that matter instead of arguing about societal complexes and fashion trends with strangers on the internet.

i dont care for the aesthetic nor do i spend time learning about it so to me all the nuances are lost but im not going go out of my way and say 'HAHA LUNARCORE IS THE TRUE SUPERIOR FASHUN AND I AM A PARAIGON OF FASHUN - IF U DNOT UNDERSTAND IT UR SIMPLY INFERIOR HAHAAH' like you have.

this is the difference between you and people like poet who can draw inspiration from all these sources and still produce something coherent that pays tribute to these ideas

i'm this guy.

i only have a couple things to say

1. i really wish everyone would just chill the fuck out.

2. i agree with a lot of what turnleft has been saying, and i'd like to distill the general thoughts he was trying to get across, along with my own, by saying that people need to think and learn a lot more and that mindlessly following any idol is inherently fucking retarded. poet is a guy. he's an awesome guy, but when you idolize someone you devalue both the person and yourself.

the biggest problem i had with all the lunarcore threads in the past is that as it started gaining momentum and attention, this 'circlejerk' started. the reason i agree with calling it a circlejerk is because of the mindless idolization going on. bump limits started being hit before image limits. kids all went out to buy shit that were posted in these threads without actually thinking about how to combine them or how to make something new.

like turny was saying, it started becoming a checklist to people [x]palladiums [x]cargos [x]bomber yup its spacecore! instead of it being a creative process.

3. a lot of the above applies to myself and i am not trying to make myself out to be any better

SF has given me some really good advice and I don't think he is coming from a negative place. A lot of times he goes back and clarifies stuff that seems negative and breaks down how it makes sense. I think in this situation you need to see the posts he is responding to.

He's the only person i've seen who gives relationship advice while providing proof of it working (text messages) and that has helped me to be more confident. I've gotten dates from his advice.

Thanks homie.

You can say whatever you want about my advice, but saying it's negative is wrong. there's pretty much two types of people on 4chan who give advice:
frustrated guys who hate women (they see ONLY negative)
or
"nice" guys who have no clue about women (they see ONLY good).

I give realistic advice, because I see both sides. I've been both of those guys (never extreme on either side), and i've also experienced and learned a lot of things through relationships. I don't hate, because i don't believe you can hate once you see the full scope of something.
i used to be pissed and sad when a relationship got fucked up, then i started thinking about WHY.

Generalizations are important to consider when dealign with relationships. There is a reason they became generalizations, and understanding that reason will help you fairly figure out if it applies.
