When the society defashionize...

Right now, I'm sipping and paying my daily homage to the great Java. Blended to smooth perfection, the roasted taste is just.. ecstasy. Sitting here inside Starbucks, it instantly reminds me of Joanne Loke's blog. The thoughtful thought of a young lady who pretty much provoked my thought and got me thinking. Right.. I'm just being random.. Blame the coffee.
So, many would be wondering what am I doing here instead of being in class. Well, arguably, one has to take time to chill off after a few hectic weeks of planning and gathering. I've been so up and about that I haven't even have time to actually enjoy my semester break albeit it's no longer semester break anymore.
Well, at this wonderful afternoon, I pretty much took a tour around Dataran Pahlawan's West Concourse, keeping a mindful eye and limited glances all the while checking out society and it's behaviour. I'm quite the curious one when it comes to human behaviour and also the snarky one when it comes to criticizing it.
So, here's what I noticed. Kids nowadays, (Mind you, anyone younger than me I deem them as kids. I'm 21 anyway.) have quite the poorest sense of fashion. I'm quite sure some do, but on a general populous, it seems like the younger generations are moving in onto a weirder and weirder sense of fashion which I pretty much disapprove although my little opinion may not matter. As the school holiday breaks, many can be seen loitering about in this shopping complex. Quite the scene, really, to see so many people on a Wednesday morning yet Starbucks remains as lonely as ever. Don't think kids enjoy coffee on the same level as most of us adults do.
Now, to shoot my point, I noticed that the younger generations have a great liking to wearing sunglasses in shopping complex. I admit that I'm guilty of that too, but only once and that was because I was doing a photoshoot in this very same complex, yet, may I ask a question now.. Is it really THAT bright and sunny inside a shopping complex that you have to wear AVIATOR sunglasses? I mean.. if you are some celebrities stuck in a scandal, I can understand that but for real?
Here and right now I would like to coin the word "DEFASHIONIZING" out of frustration. It simply isn't because of a slanted perspective of me in the fashion industry. It simply isn't because of solely my opinion that the younger generations are fashionably numb BUT it's out of sheer anger at how fashion has been tainted by these retards. Imagine a group of scrawny kids dressed in tube jeans, tight canvas shoes, tees with obscenity or some controversial message that makes absolutely no sense scribbled on it, ridiculously gelled hair and aviator glasses stuck on their face but slides down their nose almost half the time. And I do mean a GROUP of them, dressed in the same way, only with a different tee. It's really a plain sore to the eye and believe me, this kind of fashion can only be seen on certain people of certain race. I'm sorry to say this, but it's the hard truth that everyone has to swallow.
That's not the end. Let me move into the other race. Chinese boys nowadays too, can be spotted wearing short pants and plain tee. I mean, yeah maybe it looks alright, but with a handbag? And it's not only one of them, but a bunch of them together, parading around with their LV bag.. OH MAI GOD~ LV BAG! God knows if it's even a fake. It doesn't stop here. Most can be caught guilty of wearing glasses frame and I do mean only the frame. Pray the lord I was able to convince one of my friend to not wear it because it only makes him look "Ah Dai" (meaning "nerdy") and it's such a liability on his looks. White skin, slim face, but with a nerdy frame on.. =_= And don't get me started on the girls. It would have been endless, so I'm skipping that for now.
Indians, on a national scale, well, I kinda noticed that their sense of fashion has not changed since the past decade. I don't know if it's because of Samy Vellu's continuous presidency (sorry, couldn't resist.) or they are quite comfortable with the way they are. Indians here will dress almost casually. A simple jeans and a simple tee and that's it. Maybe a gelled or dyed hair at the most. Simple yet acceptable and that's how it should have been if one wants to look normal. They don't quite get in the scene when it comes to fashion.

So.. right now, I'm still sipping and paying my daily homage to the great Java... and I'm loving it. Peace out people.
