>knob end

no

I used to wear a bowler, big yellow bow tie and a tweed with some red suspenders. Wingtips, dress socks with fun prints, grey trousers, striped shirt. Intentionally ironic-goof. Some girls and my then-girlfriend thought it was cute. Then the internet happened.

>>8837223
I'm afraid not.

no

>>8837317
>it was totally cool to wear le ironic costume haha :'^) before the internet started nd the bullies from school could make fun of me at home too. girls liked it too, really, pls Xd

you'll think you're not like the rest of them.
you'll think you can pull it off.
you can't.
you'll be a hat wanker.

It wasn't "cool", it was just "me". I found something I liked and stuck with it.
The problem with internet "fashion" communities is that they form these little ideas and stereotypes about certain articles of clothing/style and cement it indefinitely-- when really fashion is a dynamic concept that changes by area and the accompanying culture.
When I say "the internet happened", I mean that the ideas produced by internet communities started bleeding into global pop culture and consequently defined an entire generation's fashion sense.
And please, if anyone's wearing costumes it's /fa/'s populace. "muh virgincore", "muh dadcore", "gothninja", "astronazi", etc etc.

You don't honestly believe in internet fashion, do you?

you said it was an "ironic-goof." doesn't sound like "you," sounds like a teenage crutch rooted in insecurity.

and i don't understand how you think internet fashion boards made fedoracore uncool. it's a meme and commonly accepted view all across the internet/average population. and the average /fa/ggot who doesn't know what he's doing and buys a bunch of expensive shit trying to be a goofninja or don draper is equally bad, but just being into certain styles doesnt mean you wear a costume like wearing bowlers, bowties, and suspenders.

I was being kinda harsh before, we've all done cringeworthy stuff in the past, but your defense here makes it seem like you still don't even understand what's antisocial/juvenile about it. not only is it handicapped in a fashion sense, because it's totally out of chronological and cultural context, but it's socially handicapped because if you don't realize how it makes the average person look at you like you're an awkward band kid trying to find himself, then you're missing something.

>>8837223
It's possible. Just take a look here.

In my defense, I was an awkward THESPIAN. I obviously grew out of it on my own, but at the time and within my social circle, it was more accepted. Being tacky ironically *was* me. It was what I thought looked good so I wore it.
This, at a time when pop-culture was bombarded with the "hipster" movement-- making out-of-context apparel more socially recognized as a fad and less "cringey" than it would be today.

And about fedora-core--- that is an internet bred term and label. It wasn't a thing before internet culture.

i feel you man. i went through an awkward grunge phase. like i said, we all had our cringey things. i just don't get how you don't see it in hindsight as socially awkward and inept.

i obviously know fedoracore as a term didn't exist before the internet, and it may not have been a meme before then, but it was definitely still seen as weird/out of place. in fact, it only exists as a meme because everyone already felt that way, so i caught on. fedoras and the fashion sense that go along with the people who wear them are out of place nowadays, for decades now, and those people are almost always awkward teenagers.

i'm not some 16 yo internet troll just trying to shit on someone, and i honestly don't care what awkward things anyone did back in high school, but i think it's bad to portray that kind of stuff as being okay. because when you don't grow out of crutches like that, it cripples you socially and makes friends, dating, jobs, and just general social blooming harder.

You know what I meant

>>8837619
It's all good. I acknowledge that I looked funny from an objective standpoint.

>>8837223
Carrot hat. Green stuff on top avoids knobular shape. Science bitches.

>>8837663
damn I wanna add this to my virgincore alphet

Wear a nice quality felt hat. That is 100x better than wearing any cheap cloth hat.

Yeah it's called not wearing a hat.

>>8837723
Fuck you what if I don't want to get melanoma?

Maybe try a flat cap? It still has the potential to look douchey thouh depending on what you wear it with. Avoid one with bright colors or patterns.

>>8837837
Make sure to pair it with your track suit, square-toed shoes and leather jacket.

Oh god, it's real.

>>8837243
is that the red leather jacket kid?

>>8837243
is that dude sucking him off

>>8837837
flat cap pretty much guarantees you're a fat guy. putting one on actually makes you fatter

>>8837837
sorry man, they don't work either. you won't be seen as socially crippled, but you'll still be seen as awkward and/or high-functioning autism

this is a bass player hat. If you play bass in a classic rock inspired band, you should probably acquire such a hat

>mfw realizing that dark archaic recesses of the internet like this still exist

>>8842464
if you play bass in a classic rock inspired band you might as well resign yourself to a life of virginity

Yes, look at this trio of distinguished Classic Western Rock bassists squatting in contemplation during a jam session in a soviet-ghetto.
Truly the pinnacle of bass player fashion. Unique only to the classic rock world.
