The sooner people realize that Chuck Taylors, flannels, corduroys, worn-out jeans, band Tee shirts and all the rest are also personal fashion choices and therefore just as much a "costume" as fashion choices that appear to take so much more "effort," the better off we'll all be.

In a way, I'm comparing this arguement to one of many decades ago, when the idea of women wearing pants wasn't accepted because it wasn't feminine.
Same idea, really.

Wow, I caused a stir just by posting a picture. Perhaps it would make more sense if I admitted that I sing for a 'goth' band? (And for the record, goth as in Bauhaus, not as in Marilyn Manson) 6
I was dressed for a show. I'm on and off with it as far as daily use goes.
And yeah, to be honest, NOTHING is going to make me look super manly anyway...I'm 5'6, 107 pounds.

But y'know, I could dig up a picture of me with a beard if it makes you guys more comfortable.

wow now i feel shit for having long hair and a band tee

Don't take it too personally, it just seems like there is a board uniform and anything that doesn't fit into that little box is subject to ridicule.

Wear what you feel comfortable in.

I understand Rob not wanting to glam it up anytime soon. I was just trying to make sense of why people care so much about another person's appearance. Usually it wouldn't bother me so much, but the insults were personal and baseless.

.

I have to disagree with you, I feel like everyone here has their own steez

Most people here dress in a way that is for the most part socially acceptable. May not have been a few years ago, but it is now. Like girl jeans on guys. Many people here do that.

But really, it is mostly a jeans and t-shirt kind of board we have here. So the jeans might be skinny and the t-shirts might be embellished or homemade, but it's still jeans + t-shirt. And no reason to single out a guy with piercings and eyeshadow and say that it's unacceptable. Those are the photos I like. They disrupt the monotony of this thread (a monotony which I also contribute to).

"dress errrday like yous going to get murdered in those clothes"

We was high 'n' shit.

But I disagree on the board uniform you have suggested. I believe there's only like a few others on here who wear tight jeans and we seem to be ridiculed for that when it's mentioned (like you now, I guess). I do see a shit load of Dinosaur shirts and Chuck Taylors though. although the latter is fairly common these days, whatever you're into.

I also disagree with piercings and eyeshadow being unnaccetable (atleast not to me). Unless you were referring purely about this board in general, but that'd make sense considering it is the board it is - I'm sure if you went to the Good Charlotte (which I make no intention to offend anyone by the use of this band) message board or many of the popular bands of today, you'd be ridiculed for wearing jeans and chuck taylors and a Dinosaur Jr shirt.

Plus, I recall a few people being shit on for the way they look in this thread, me being one. So you don't have to wear eyeshadow and have an immense amount of piercings to get a few naysayers.
