i don't condemn anything if it isn't a completely obvious affectation designed to project a desired image based on shallow ideals

bingo.

doing stuff to "fit in" is bollocks, everyone fits in anyway, we're all people.

who are you to judge why people are wearing what?

maybe they like wearing what they are wearing cuz they think they look good in it? like woah that looks good on them! i wanna look good like that!

its ok to do that.

No it's not.

[parson]

y'all probably dress like a bunch of other people too.

[Pistonsbeneath]

well given they all dressed the same and seemed to be mocking how other people were enjoying themselves they are fully deserving of judgement...

you can tell when someone is natural..and by that i mean not trying too hard, desperate for attention or worryingly on the pulse of 'fashion' but simply acting and dressed like a natural person..

you seem natural as do my mates that i go with to events....we don't feel the need to be anything but ourselves

I'm just venting because everyone I know who wears them does it for the exact reasons I've moaned about.

Dressing in any way is partly to cause judgement anyway, hence people wearing band t shirts, dressing a certain way etc

Yeah, I know a girl who dresses like a giant hipster, but she wears it like a second skin.
It's rather endearing.

so you're not mad at the clothes you're mad at insecure scenesters who are addicted to fueling their ego by defining it by their outward appearance and comparing it to those whose appearance does not live up to their arbitrary standard

EXACTLY

they want the attention

[parson]

everybody needs attention. the worst thing they can do to you in prison is take you away from the murderers and baby rapists and leave you by yourself for days on end.

sure..i mean i am aware that i don't wear particularly cool clothes though and it isn't a big deal to me

i don't believe some sort of hype in my head that i can make some sort of statement by recycling something in a different way to how it was originally intended lol

and i would quite happily spend weeks away from other people to be honest parson....this doesn't mean i hate people but that i enjoy my own company

The term "baby rapist" makes me think of a baby that fucks people by force. Thanks, Parson.

getting attention is a real transfer of energy. people getting attention are receiving energy from lots of people at once. it is a vital force of nature.

[bandshell]

Yes, more or less. I'm not as mad at insecure people, the people who aren't insecure and just do it because other people do are the people who irritate me.

but didn't gandhi spend loads of time alone?

[parson]

if we were standing next to each other facing the same direction, and then i moved to be right in front of you facing you, you would feel an intense blast of energy.

quieting the mind is different from forced isolation

[the acid never lies]

this whole system is reliant on people being considerate to one another and looking out for their fellow man....i am only talking about behaviours that go totally against that

It seems to me that calling people out on their lifestyle choices fits more into this category tbh
