Yeah I'm not into cell phones with a million apps either, and it's not like I'm old (I'm still pretty young), It's just that phones are for talking, texting, pictures- Ok. A phone that can change the channels on your tv? A little much.

American Apparel is seriously out of control. Someone needs to stop them. Why in God's name did they decide it was time to bring back every failed trend from the early 90's? That has to have been the darkest time for fashion mankind has ever seen. The neon leggings were bad enough. I open up my local weekly the other day and what do I see an ad for? SCRUNCHIES. Seriously, big ass, 80's style, side-ponytail full on SCRUNCHIES. In neon colors of course.
Gag me with a spoon.

I do not carry cell phones 99.99% of the time. It just makes you too accessible and I do not like the idea.

-Skinny jeans worn with wedges or chunky heels (I love skinny jeans but with the right shoes)
-Uggs and Crocs
-Jeans worn with a jean jacket
-Wearing pj's in public
-sunglasses at night/in a club
-girls wearing flip flops at bars/clubs
-flood pants
-leggings with short tops
-muffin top (I swear everyone in the bronx does this)
-super superrrrr long fake nails (like as long as your actual finger)
-fanny packs/floral shirts and anything else that makes you look super touristy
-scrunchies! I can't believe i still see those...

Heyyy... I still use scrunchies. They hold my very long and very thick hair in a low bun very well without damaging it. To me they aren't a fashion statement, but a necessity. Eating my own hair is yucky. Having it in my face all the time is not acceptable. Ponytails are okay but the lower end of my hair ends up in nasty knots if I let it hang for any length of time. I can't braid my own hair, always ends up lopsided.

-Guys who wear nut-hugging skinny jeans. It's not cute that I can see your testicles, the Jonas Brothers.
-Those "trendy" horn rimmed neardy glasses that Lil' Wayne, Justin Timberlake (as much as I love him), and all of thoe other "cool kids" are wearing. You all look bug-eyed and stupid.
-Leggings, period. They are not pants, Lindsay Lohan.
-Purses bigger than your body. What the fuck is in those things anyway? You can't possibly tell me that you can find your keys at the end of the night without having to dive in head first.

-Those stupid flags on each window of your car that show your favorite sports team
-People who don't need glasses, wearing them to look "cool"
-The whole "cool" nerdy look
-80's style outfits (ex: lime green jeans, pink and purple t-shirt with 4 plastic bracelets, long plastic necklaces and plastic earrings)
-Multi-colored nails that make you dizzy when you try to look at the "design"
-Keeping the tags on your clothes
-Guys who have their pants sagging below their ass
-Fake bi-sexuals

One I forgot to add:
Twitter
Am I the only person who finds it pointless? Especially when celebrities use it to tweet their significant other messages that are personal. Why not text or call?

Those huuuugggggeeee fucking sunglasses that pretty girls wear that
- hide their entire face
- make them look like bugs
- make them look like they think they are Jackie O or Lyndsay Lohan hiding from the paparazzi
- make them look like they have a huge hangover or are on a drug binge
Hopefully I'm a year or two out of date and these are already out of style, but I think these are the stupidest-looking things ever.

+1 Twitter. I signed up for it and have never been back on it once.
A RL friend "tweeted" that he was going to a sanwich shop and some girl there comes up to him : "Hi Carlos, I'm Michelle2345" (or whatever it is).
I mean, are you serious? That is completely f'ing creepy!
callista
06-23-2009, 02:42 PM
^^ yeah, that is creepy!
I like american apparel, but yeah they need to let the 80's go.
I'm also a big fan of horn rimmed glasses, i'm wearing them now.... Then again, I've had this pair for 6 yrs, and I'm blind as a bat.
I'm also very fond of big sunglasses, although I don't get ones that make me look like a bug.... I live on the coast, and the UV rays are very strong here. That, added to the fact that I'm photosensitive, make large and dark sunglasses a necessity, not a trend.
Fads that really bug me:
-Using an animal as an accessory.
-Baggie shirts that look like a garbage back with a belt.
-MUFFIN TOP.
-anything ghetto style, especially pants around the waist.
-girls stuffing themselves into outfits that amplify the jiggle they have.... dress to suit your body!
-faux bisexuals
-jailbait girls dressing like tramps

Love the woman, hate the glasses.
By the way to others: nothing wrong with faux bisexuals as long as they are young hot women. What I hate are faux poor people who come from the upper middle class. "Slumming".

Ah leggings, they should be so wrong but feel so right!
I was just wondering the other day, I know there was a long period time sometime between my childhood and now when leggings were absolutely not cool, but it just feels as if everyone has been wearing them forever, and I don't know what on earth I used to find to wear 50 percent of the time during the day!

Big dangly gold-plated chains with some heavy decorative fake-gold weight hanging around fat guys' necks.
Only Guido has the right to wear that ugly thing.
White guys or chicks using that ghetto loud m-f'in' talk. Who you trying t' impress? Yo mom? Cross the street and talk to th' bros; it's not impressive that you can talk really loud. (I can probably talk louder anyway.) And I sure don't want to hear about your stupid life.

I just found these new sunglasses, no tinted lenses. It's likes they cut slits from just solid plastic. And they're neon colors to boot! I love sunglasses, and I really love neon, but seriously, who started this trend and why aren't they dead?

Everyone's hating on the mullet?
Rly?
How about a j-rock mullet? Is the J-mullet okay?
http://xa2.xanga.com/eeca342b27d68255231141/t22959160.jpg
On the weekends... I like to throw in my extensions to extend my mullet [ya, my real hair is a mullet secratly] and make it even longer. :D
I'm guilty of so many of these things that piss you guys off... it makes me lol.
Things I hate:
Uhm. 10 year olds with acrylic nails. RLY? No. A 10 year old does NOT need acrylic nails that are LONGER THAN MINE.
OMG, young girls (16 and under) wearing mini skirts, bump its, and acrylic nails

Hahaha - I SIMPLY CANNOT STAND the one pant leg rolled up thing, I just cant stand it - WHY, WHY, WHY do people do that???!!!!
(I believe I once read the answer to why they do it, I just cannot fathom how it caught on!)
Umm, I personally cant stand those brushed forward, or huge side parting emo type haircuts.
I heard it's a gangster thing that actually means the guy has a gun on him. (the pants rolled up).
Also I think people should not be judgemental as to what others are wearing. Not everyone can dress perfectly to your own specific tastes. Although some styles may be annoying to look at I generally ignore a person if I don't think they are my type. No need to pick on others.

That DEFINATELY needs to die! As fast as possible!
Zero was GREAT with the half-shaved head... Toshiya looks TERRIBLE! That facial hair too!
Facial hair on asian men (Or any man who doesn't properly grow non-scruffy/patchy facial hair) needs to die, too.

I agree Ed Hardy shit needs to go.
Rhinestones on anything.
skinny jeans on people who aren't skinny. You and your love handles are killing me!
sagging jeans. Especially guys who hold up their pants by grabbing their crotch while they walk. I wanna run those guys over with my car.
Neon anything sucks.
Embroidered shirts on guys. So awful.
Clothing that clearly never fit you and never will. Ladies come on! I hate walking around the fucking mall because these people kill my appeatite. I'll be there 15 minutes and so many chicks walk by wearing stuff that causes me to avert my eyes that I'm like "great I'm eating salad for the next three days straight". I call it "Scared Skinny". If your a big girl that's cool but wear something flattering for crying out loud.

-Not really a fad (or is it?) "the one upper" I swear to God if one more person approaches me and tells me how great their F-ing life is I'm going to fucking throat punch a bitch...
-ANYTHING 80's, listen I was born in the 80's it wasn't that fucking great the first time around...
-Ragged ass hair extensions, I feel your pain on the fact that hair maintenance on these things is a small fortune but if you don't have the dough to keep up that look don't get them (or opt for clip in's)
-High waist ANYTHING..STOP with the Mom jean's unless your a Mom in your 40's...
-Huge chunky accessories, HATE this...like seriously why do you look like Wilma from the Flinestones?? Whyyyy....
-Girls who wear stripper shoes in public...how embarrassing for you, that your wearing your lucite heels out in day light and no one's tipping you...shit you should be wearing the ones with the tip jar in the platform...that'll teach ppl...lol
-Glitter, unless your in a club or its halloween, just NO.
-Black lipstick...why, why do you do that to your face?
-Ok I may get flamed for this but fuck it, ppl who get tattoos because its now a trend...I hate that...like if your going to get a tat make it a piece that symbolizes something for you...enough with the stars and flowers bullshit. Your not Kat Von D okay, one day you will be 80 and your tattoo on your butt crack of a fairy is going to look ugly.
sigh what else...let's see...
-Ed Hardy, more like Ed Farty...Why you would wear such monstrosity is beyond my level of understanding...especially since that Father of Eight we all love and adore wears the shit all day, everyday...ick.
-Guys in skinny jeans, it makes me feel weird inside when a man is clearly wearing his little sister's pants and is boasting about it.
-*this goes with 80's but I have to say it* Leg warmers, I have a feeling I'm in FAME when I see girls wearing these, whats next leotards, and ripped tee shirts? ::face to desk::
-Scarfs, not the ones for cold winter but the ones that make you look like a bandit. I especially love it when ppl wear it in warm weather...what is your neck cold? Here let me karate chop you in the neck and it won't be.
-Fake rocker types, you know the ones...they shop at Hot Topic...and pretend they enjoy rock music but couldn't name one rock band if their life depended on it...if you enjoy pop or techno its okay...but don't pretend to be something you are not...lol
Okay I'm done being bitchy, ::back to picking flowers and petting kittens::

This shit is ALL from the 80's. Srsly. It was a gawdafull decade fashion wise. Just, horrible, horrible, horrible. Imagine being born in 75 and your developmental years are all scarred by that utter shittastic media representation of beauty. :rotfl:
I'm listening to Joplin and Segar to purge the 80's outta me right now! }:D
I agree 99.99% of the 80's need to die a horrible slow death. hehe ;D
I was such a dork when I started college...channeling the 60's and 70's...luckily it was a WIN with the college crowd. hehe

^^^ OMG, thank you!! What the fuck is up with this 80's craze?! It will not. fucking. die. I remember in '02 when it first popped up thinking "oh this is a hilarious novelty that will last a month, how fun." Why is it STILL happening?
This has really just been a terrible, terrible decade for fashion. What is with all the baggy, shapeless clothes? Perfectly attractive women with fantastic figures are walking around in glorified potato sacks that they call a "dress." really, if you're not a grotesquely obese shut-in, you do not need to be walking around in a muumuu.
I can only hope that in the next decade there will be a backlash against it. I like 70's fashion. Maybe we should bring some of that back. Or how about we start enjoying having a figure again and start wearing "mad men" style curve hugging dresses? Please?
