You could make /fa/ great again by deleting nonsense posts and aggressively banning but that’s too much work. At any given time roughly 80% or more of the threads on the catalogue should be deleted and the OPs banned.

[Anonymous No.18070855]

What sucks is that the anon saying $50 is too much for something is probably right. Chink shit always existed, but now every middle market brand has deprecated to chinkshit tier quality anyway, and is ostensibly also just chink shit. There's no actual difference between anything middle market, and the cheapest alternative on AliChink or TemuChink. It wasn't always like this, but now it is. Even thrift stores now are mostly full of vintage chink shit, since it's been so long since anything was produced of substantial quality.

All that's left is either true designer with unobtainium prices, or niche low production number sellers, leaving 99% of people to just discuss the merits of chink shit versus chink shit, which is pretty boring.

>>18070855
kind of but i think a lot of it is that this new generation of zoomer posters are poor compared to the millenials who posted on /fa/ back in the day. we got to experience the tail end of the west's period of decadence. they never did. a lot of them don't even have 2 parents. to most of these zoomers $50 for a garment is a lot. i'm not saying it to talk down on them but i can't help but notice there's only like 2 or 3 zoomer aged posters on here who post about designer shit.

i buy prefade sometimes, just not cheap stuff done with a sandblaster. rrl orslow fullcount etc. i do hard manual labor so i tend to buy 1 wash and raw but i'm not against it. why would i want jeans that have been ran through a sand blaster to work in? i can get my own fades and rips and tears easily.

It's interesting to see that /mu/ is in a similar position. No posts, very little discussion of new music, the discussion that there is focusses on popular music. I think the culture machine just blew up between 2014-2020. Could the cut or some other similar publication release an article today about a new fashion style (like they did for normcore) and completely change the way urban switched on people dress for a decade? I don't think so anymore, the ways people learn about new trends are too segmented, there isn't as much of an overarching culture.

Millennials at their age weren't exactly flush with cash either on account of the whole great recession thing. I think it's more to do with a culture of instant gratification and a need for social approval that's always been there, but that's been turbocharged by social media

Like zoomers live in a post-trend era where there's literally a niche for every look you could imagine and where shopping for clothes has never been easier, and yet they're all way too terrified of criticism or of the zeitgeist shifting on them to invest resources in anything interesting. So instead of buying a cool thing for $500 they want a $15 version that looks close enough so they can wear it for 2 weeks before changing their look again.

As an elder zoomer (2000) this is half true. It's not a fear of something no longer being "in" but rather there as so many accesible niches it is impossible to invest into high quality pieces from the multiple available styles. Your choice is to either invest in only one style or buy shit from shein but not be locked into a single style. It's an inability to commit.

Call me old fashioned, but personal style isn't a costume and it sure as fuck isn't trend hopping. It's a lifelong pursuit to find things that communicate how you perceive yourself and yourself in relation to others.

Don't just buy into a thing because it looks cool and definitely don't buy into object fetishism wrt individual pieces (tho this is more of a millennial thing but still worth repeating). Get things that legitimately speak to you, that you can see yourself wearing (in public), and that play well enough with your current wardrobe to be usable.

And if you fuck up and decide something isn't for you, just re-sell it. If it's a good piece and high quality, there will be a resale market. I've sold clothes 10+ years after I bought them for 70+% of what I paid. And this is avant meme shit which is both niche and fucking expensive, so losses can be recouped if something isn't what you imagined or if your style changes or

[Anonymous No.18071463]

>>18071324
Basically what >>18071347 says. Nobody has any respect for zoomers because of their inability to commit. It comes off as inauthentic and volatile. "Iconic" figures are seen as iconic because of their commitment to their look, which is unwavering and does not change based on the constantly shifting social trends. Take Nick Cave for example, he hasn't shifted away from his sleazecore look for decades and its why he is seen as based and confident in himself. Zoomers in comparison are constantly ridiculed and teased for jumping from decade to decade retro fashion, not ever sticking with one or even generating a culture of their own. It shows zero confidence, which everyone else can easily sense and therefore gives them reason to poke fun at that. People on here will attempt to make fun of the denim/leather boots guys, but at least they are committed to a look that has already lasted many decades and theoretically will therefore continue to never die away.

I mean, you’re not wrong. One straightforward way to become more based and to not feel the need to constantly change oneself to fit perceived social demands is to lift weights and naturally increase your T. If you’re not physically intimidating and you are constantly changing your look, you’ve become the typical low T modern male that nobody really looks up to or respects despite constant attempts to change your outfit. Honestly, he could stick with >>18071480 and not really venture into the hippie look or modern fag look in >>18071479 and be totally fine.

you're right but also thanks to Vetements the fashion landscape has changed so much it's impossible to enjoy it in the way someone did a decade ago
when every fashion house realised they could get away with charging $1k for a tee as long as it was hot on social media, they went for memeable shit that is passe a month later.
'archive' fashion has gotten so absurdly expensive now that everyone fancies themselves a curator it's impossible for the average person to get into. I remember seeing a Raf parachute bomber bid up to £700 ish on eBay in 2014, what would that even be worth now? £700 wouldn't even buy a Balenciaga hoodie at retail prices, it wouldn't even buy a moth-eaten Issey Sport bomber from Grailed.

Yes and no. Raf is crazy inflated and Margiela has always been stupidly overpriced. But you can still find 00s Helmut for decent prices, ditto for Undercover. And there are AW03 Dior pieces on eBay for <500. I even found some waxed jeans for 600 that used to sell for 600 used in like 2010 so factoring inflation, they've gotten cheaper.

And that's all assuming zoomers want to continue the Internet fashion meta of the 2010s which was mostly split between art povera, Rick & Plays Well With Rick, and Antwerp 6 fetishization. I admit I'm out of the loop runway wise- I'm one of those people who sold off all their designer and now just wears raw denim and heritage shit- but why can't zoomers create their own meta? There were plenty of interesting runway shows in the 00s and 10s that weren't vetememe shit that they could jump on to create a new kernel of archival fashion
