Why do Americans dress like poor people? I am a yuropoor, but I wouldn't stand out in America. They approach me because they feel intimidated by the normal looking "classy" people. I see it in their eyes. They're culturally retarded. Even our street thugs look like regular citizens to them. No wonder they think we're rude. They mistake the poor and degenerates for decent people, and the decent people for royalty.

They're mostly circumcised, aka slaves. Who would expect a slave to know fashion? They're more concerned with returning to the womb than looking good.

Also, Britain is no better. But in my neck of the woods, people dress great. My town is 1 in 10000 tho

Real talk: The U.S. is a country with a history founded largely on Protestantism (and more specifically Puritanism). A lot of the American Protestant ethic is entrenched in the culture. For instance there is a weird notion that work for work's sake is a virtue (which is probably why so many of the conservatives here resist updating their industries to more efficient / expedient and cleaner models). I think the Puritan / Protestant ethic is also at fault for why so many Americans don't only ignore the idea of aesthetic value, but have a straight up disdain for intellectualism and for aesthetics / beauty.

It's an extension of an old fear of the devil (arrogant and corruptable rationalism), and definitely a retaliation of Protestants against the Catholic church, which was definitely more concerned with beauty and aesthetics, but exploited its followers by siphoning their wealth in order to bolster the overall wealth / power of the catholic church.

So now instead, Americans have mega-churches made of drywall and 2x4s, with no real decoration, and giant, plaster Mormon Churches, as well as Televangelists who fly giant, ugly jets around for fun. We don't even get any pretty golden, bleedy Jesuses out of it anymore.

Yet Protestant Prussia had something to look up to besides work, a great community and leader and most importantly for this conversation a high standard of dress and culture besides work, consume, repeat. You can't blame it all on Protestantism, America is lacking much more than the Pope.

>> No.13224117

Its not just Protestantism, but a mixture of different factors. A good part of it is individualism mixed with egalitarianism: Americans, as a people, don't feel the need to have to impress. The common man is idealized: look at folk heroes from Davy Crockett to Steve Jobs. The American is a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. He feels that outside of where it is forced, why should he dress to impress? All are ultimately equal and he is just as good as anyone else. Instead, comfort is pushed. The reason that more continue to dress sloppily is that this has mixed with materialism and consumerism to promote brand clothing and consumer comfort: you need Nike sweat pants because they are the most conformable and the most expensive. Thus they become popular, in order to sell more.

tl;dr i'm full of shit and spewing it on an anonymous message board. .

You euros just choose to believe that Americans dress unfashionably because it corroborates your elitist complex (everyone’s got one). In reality, there are things that are much more important than fashion, and as long as you don’t stand out too much and your clothes are clean you are dressing acceptably. As for the specific reasons why Americans tend to wear looser fitting clothing, I imagine it has to do with weather and the enduring American ideal of the man who works with his hands.

Australia is generally far hotter than America, and yet they still tend to dress better than Amerimutts. You can't put it all on comfort.
