/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

Does anybody else find it strange how it's generally considered "un-/jp/" to worry about what you are wearing? As a 100% assburger who wants to puke every time he's out in public, there's nothing that helps more than wearing nice clothes and being properly groomed. I spend an hour or so in front of the mirror before going out to the 7/11 at midnight, but it's worth it.

I don't understand how /jp/ can shun the outside world so much, yet feel confident about walking outside dressed like poop, knowing that everybody is staring at you.

[Anonymous No.]

It's not really "un-/jp/", it's just the leftover from the the old nerd code of conduct.

Nothing wrong with caring about what you wear or how you look, as long as you just go for things you enjoy wearing and not try to blindly follow fashion or some retarded arbitrary rules(like a good third of the asinine shit on your picture).

Seriously, the only thing that matters is that you like how you look. If some pointers help you achieve that? Great. If you'd rather do something otherwise but the internet fashionistas tell you it's unhip? Fuck them and do your own thing, it's going to be much more attractive to anyone who doesn't have their head up their ass anyway.

I used to care about what I was wearing when I went outside. I don't really care when inside (which is now always), but when going out I'll always make sure to pick out clothes to some degree. I'll never wear an outfit that ends up looking like one flat colour, blue jeans with a shirt of the same shade etc.

Goddamn fucking hipsters. Sure there is some advice anything, but don't ever listen when a hipster tells you you did something wrong.

2) Only straight laced dress shoes are tied that way. Cross laced dress shoes, like most people lace them, are tied in a bow.

5) He makes the common mistake of thinking a blazer and a sport coat are the same thing. The difference between suit jackets and blazers are nuanced, and they can technically overlap. The real difference is suits have matching pants. Sports coats are casual coats with a cut based on a suit. They were the hoodies of their day, they are only considered formal now because they deviate less from suits than hoodies.

6) Everyone knows hipsters with desert boots and selveage jeans with huge glasses are trying way harder than someone with color coordination.

7) Showing off shoe brand and cuffing jeans is obnoxious and hipster. Jeans should be the same length as any other pant, no break, half break, full break. It is personal preference.

8) Fucking fashion pockets. Pockets are meant to be used.

9) This isn't a sleeve length problem, it is a cuff size problem. If you rely on sleeve length to do this, if you move your arms at all you're fucked. It should actually be just past the wrist, not at it.

11) It is what a fucking dryer is for. Things last for decades being stuck in the dryer as long as you don't put shrinkable or graphic shits in it.

etc

Fucking hipsters don't know how to dress.

Modern fashion looks like shit, I find everyone who believes they look "nice" either look like some prissy fag or a complete douche. I'm rocking the hobo style, and I'm proud of it, you won't catch me wearing some shitty collard polo shirt, or matching my shoes.

There's a whole abyss of difference between frilly clothes for girls/dolls and today's criteria of what a male should wear.

It's pretty flawed at parts but like all of those /fa/ pics they're guidelines not lawbooks. There is no fashion advice that will work across the board for everyone and that's mostly a starting point. Like oxfords for example. I can't stand the material because of the way it rubs against my skin, I'm too sensitive to wear sandpaper.

He said he wants to dress like a hobo.

However, I agree with you. I like to dress well, but not trendy. You might find one or two pieces of my wardrobe that could be considered trendy, but I mostly wear things that are considered improper by hipsters.

The one weird thing I do is I wear plain ties if I need accessorizing (with stuff that should not normally be worn with ties), and I have 7 different bags and a dozen watches.

Go to /fa/. They are the tryhardiest boast ever, and if you try to have something nice, or matching and it isn't something super subtle only a hipster would notice (like selvage or some shit) they will call you a try hard, despite arguing for hours over which $300 jeans to buy, and they will go balistic if they get washed.

Actually, really good leather shoes cost from one to two hundred bucks, if you know where to look.

Paying more than $200 is retarded, since at this point you pay only for the brand.

Back in school I used to have a lot of not identical, but very similar clothes. I remember going on some "spend the weekend at some outside-lodge" type school trip thing. When I opened my suitcase to reveal a load of almost identical jeans one of my "friends" commented that they thought I just wore the same thing all the time. Possibly a joke, but I don't know. They turned out to be a two faced fuck anyway.

Just beware the impression it might give people if you go outside wearing what looks like the same clothes week in week out. Glad I don't have that to worry about.

"Hipster" is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else's authenticity into question an, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself.

It serves no conversational function and imparts no information, save for indicating the opinions and preferences of the speaker.

Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural bogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you've probably sensed the pattern on your own).

Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, "ironic" Them.

You can't define what "that kind of behavior or fashion or lifestyle" actually is, nor will you ever be able to. That's because you don't use "hipster" to describe an actual group of people, but to describe a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you.

The twist, of course, is that if it weren't for your own insecurities, nothing that a "hipster" could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally.

On attractive people. It is one of those things where if an attractive person wears something a bit unusual, it makes them even more attractive.

Yes but not really for the reason you listed. More so because fashion is a pretty large and interesting aspect of Japanese culture that even has a bit of overlap with Otaku stuff. It`s certainly something you can be extremely autistic about too.

This is a really good podcast about the early Harajuku scene that kind of draws that connection near the end:

Start with something simple.

Like Levi's 501s, or 511s depending on how fat you are. You want the pants to be close to your skin, but not have it be skintight like some skinny jeans.

Then add a button up shirt. I like the ones that have the little straps on the arm that let you roll up the sleeves and button them up. Rolled up sleeves give off a casual, yet more than a t-shirt look. Go with a neutral gray or something. Black is obnoxious, white is formal. A blue would also work.
