whats the deal with white kids wearing hollister, american eagle and abercrombie?

Question

my brother is 17 and he's such a follower, he recently bought the aforementioned clothes to be cool. label whores.

"And who made you the fashion police? Maybe that is his style. Why can't he have the freedom to wear what he wants without having you judge him?" the point is its not his style, if the cool kids were wearing tube tops and capris thats what he would wear.

Answer 1

I agree. Kids are brainwashed by media advertizers with cool commercials into thinking that they MUST have that overpriced, labeled junk to be cool.

And, it's the snotty ones...or the wannabee socialites that do it.
Of course, it's no worse than the other cultures wearing their brands of cultish crap!

Answer 2

I think someones a little jealous. Hehehe. "my brother is 17 and he's such a follower.." and you're not HOW? Calling him a "follower" and "label whore" just proves that you are doing the same by trying to be a so-called "unique individual". I Got news for you kid, NOBODY is immune to group-think. Get over yourself and go buy some nice clothes instead of shitty t-shirts from bands no one cares about. People are judged by what they look like first. This is the way it will always be because that's just how people are. Grow up and stop whining about such unimportant things that do you no real harm.

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure you said it yourself when you said follower and label whore! I don't understand this either. Why pay a bunch of money for crappy made clothing!? For some reason, these companies make themselves "the thing to buy" mostly b/c of their advertising and the "rich kids" who buy them. If you have it, you're cool, if you don't-you're not. It's ridiculous! I never wore the stuff when I was in high school, and I can't stand the smells and loud music coming from these annoying stores either!

Answer 4

nicely, human beings prefer to purchase there. Sorry you've a difficulty with it, yet maximum childrens do not imagine that it makes them look dorky. and what's aptitude? What do you recommend by employing"I easily have discovered experience those who won't be able to placed on aptitude in a lot of circumstances are not that alluring besides and the outfits shows up in basic terms how unattractive the fairly are"?

Answer 5

yeah i know im such a label whore too (hahha boy i sure love this) i now it sucks but branded stuff just looks better and sound bettr(dunno y).i mean if you had a choice of an exact pair of jeans for free from calvin klein or walmart -what would you choose?

Answer 6

Same as in the late 80's and early 90's when I was a kid, we wore "Used", "Damaged", "Bum", "Guess", and "Air Jordan's". We thought we were cool, too. "Look at my $60 pants!"

Kids now pay $30+ for a T-shirt to advertise for a huge corporation.

(I think I made myself sound really old.)

Answer 7

And who made you the fashion police? Maybe that is his style. Why can't he have the freedom to wear what he wants without having you judge him?

Answer 8

is there a point to this?

So you don't like labels, that is the wonder of this country, people have freedom of speech, so they can wear what they want.

Answer 9

a. because the clothes are super cute
b. because he wants to fit in of course, who doesn't?
its as simple as that, surly u should have been able to figure that out by urself?
p.s.
how come everyone is saying only white ppl shop at abercrombie and hollister and american eagle when i see black ppl wear all the time??? and there is a black model for american eagle goodness sake!!

Answer 10

Culture, it's like blacks wearing Fubu and SeanJohn. Kids feel the need to fit in. I think it's crap but..whatever. I myself wear Walmart clothes and still look good. lol
