what has happened?

>2010
slow board and tripfagging drama
>2011
more traffic, more posters, lots of laughs, early goth shit
>2012/2013
even more traffic, more laughs, with actual wisdom being dropped
>2014
extreme shitposting and off-topic shit, australian cancer, lean cancer, meme shit greatly outweighing discussion
>2015

I just came here to browse after years,back when Cased Mods what a character. This board has barely changed aesthetically,has not adopted to modern fashion and honestly aesthetically has dressed progressively worse each time.

I wasn’t really here before 2016. I started coming when 4chan got mainstream significance during the Trump campaign (it coincided with the year I started trying to fix myself and start dressing better). I can imagine there is a lot of people like me, so if you’re mistiming by two years, that may be an explanation.

the reddification of /fa/ as it is balkanized into numerous independent generals, all trips are actual mentally ill freaks, an increasing number of posters whose only concern is dragging everything identifiable in the universe into a culture war and determining somethings pedigree according to a schizo s.y<->redpill spectrum

I remember posting here back in 2012
>Raf Simons, Rick Owens usually what I'm dressed in

It seemed a more comedic place back then. Sure, plenty of people took themselves too seriously but most didn't. I seem to remember lots more threads about height and manlet struggles.

Anyway, as someone else said, fits and innovation here appear to have got worse.

creativity here has been at an all time low for a while but thankfully there are some zoomers on here who been posting some new styles and inspo lately at least so it’s a step in the right direction

Has /fa/ moved on from the HY and lusting after "Young Stalin"? Those were mainstays.

I think once all those guys started losing their hair they stopped talking about HYs and every hair thread became about buzzcuts and taking finasteride

hitler youth hair became too mainstream and all the young stalin guys went bald. now it's long hair or shaggy hair

Found this on an old backup HDD. Probably from about 2011/12. Maybe a bit later.

why did these certain brands get shilled? norse and apc for example is just plain mediocre quality clothing, like what sets them apart from the thousands of other brands on the market?
did they pay people to shill them on reddit and r/mfa or something?

IIRC APC was often touted as 'good entry level' on the many raw denim/selvedge threads back then. I actually bought some and they were shit.

I see quite a lot of Norse Projects stuff in charity shops now. Honestly the quality is not far off Primark.

So yeah, maybe shills were to blame.

Since covid times its reallyyyyy slowed to a crawl. Presumably because people have less of a reason to get dressed up and go out.
