Think back to that thread a few months ago in which about 90% of us said pink shirts were gay, and the remainder said they were "aight."

I think it is ridiculous. It looks dumb. Some fashion trends I actually like, and some are just plain stupid. Since when have guys lost all ability to discern between manly and mirly? I guess it's just another symptom of the dumbing down / castration of America. This, my friends, is sad.
That singer Cam'ron started all that pink shit a few years ago. I never understood it. It was funny, though. I would drive down the street on the West Side (really fucked up ass neighborhoods) and see all these hardcore thugs, bangers, dealers, and shooters all running around in pink. Shit would have me cracking up. :D

[-T-]

Holy shit where the fuck did you get that. I want it.

One of my closest friends always has his collar up. I always abuse him about it.

Tom Cruise and Scientology? Stupid.

Guys who wear their collars up? Really stupid.

Yeah I have a friend who I caught with a popped collar, he also had a pink polo shirt on. I asked him why would you do that. He replied "The girls like it" I just shook my head. I still give him crap about it.

Skinny jeans?
Popped collars?
Pink polo's?
Deep V-neck tee's?

The only boys who complain about these trends are those who don't have the balls/body to rock them.

Bwhahaha! A lack of balls can fit into any skimpy tight jeans. People with balls can tell ya that it's so much more comfortable to wear some loose fitting pants.

Also I have never seen some cool people rocking the above stated trend that you mention. At least not here and from what I've seen, they're a bunch of jabronees.

i think thats pretty true but then again if i saw a guy wearing a pink polo with skinny jeans i'd be all *points & laughs* "look at that fruit!"

[hitmonlee]

most guys i know who do it, do it to keep the back of their necks getting sunburnt. its not a full pop, you only pop the back of the collar, not the front bits.

i think it looks hot (y) and is usually the mark of a rich western suburbs private school boy. awwwwwshityeah (y)

me and dr deaf were at a bar downtown, sitting at one of two outdoor tables. this dude wearing a pink shirt and his two friends go walking past us, and this guy at the other outdoor table says "nice pink shirt" and his friends start kinda giggling. the dude yells back "it's salmon."

as if that makes it better.

hilarious.

[ericlee]

I'm not intolerant of people popping their collars. I'm honestly saying that I have yet to see a cool attitude to accommodate the attire. It's usually some jock or some preppie still stuck in high school if they're already not in. Normally, they're wearing a pink shirt too because they've got the attitude of wanting someone to say something about the fact that they're wearing a pink shirt to start a fight.

If they're into fashion then that's fine but I've never been into it. A nice t and jeans or occasional cargo pants suit me fine. People with a fashion sense reminds me of bands like Poison and Slipknot. Shitty music and they've gotta have some kind of gimmick so people will like them.

You forgot the $100 ripped to shit jeans and the constant tanning.

The attitude that usually goes along with this is what angers me. The metro attitude. Its not like I make a point to harass or make a comment to some guy because he acts/dresses like a preppy girl. He would have to be an loudmouth obnoxious d-bag in order for me to say something.

Everybody hates something and I choose to hate guys who act/try to act metro.

hey heeeeey now, away with that language, freeb, we'll have none o' that talk in here!

pink polo shirts, perhaps not, but pink work shirts - i've seen many a 'rampantly heterosexual' male wear really pale pink shirts with a suit and it looks HOT. oh god, i think my boyfriend might have one :/ he certainly wears really pale lilac. okay, imma call him.

/calls ranald and asks about his work-shirt wearing habits.

yes! he had two pink shirts but they are "in the bin". apparently you have to be careful to wear a nicely contrasting tie with it or you really do look like a fanny. okay, son. also he is looking out for the perfect purple shirt but they are hard to find.

should i be worried, readers? he wears pink shirts and he works for a football club! he's going to get raped in the showers! OH GOD!

All the scallies round my way converge on Wigan at a weekend in their thousands, and I kid you not, 9 out of 10 of them are wearing pink shirts.

The other 1 out of 10 isn't wearing anything above his waist so that he can "impress" his fellow scallies with his "buff" bod.

Is scallie a contraction of 'scallywag'?

oh shoot, i thought that they'd be wearing england tops (http://chavscum.co.uk/4images/details.php?image_id=5672) and what not. (lolz i totally spent 20 minutes looking through that site for a pink shirted wearing male but my eyes started to bleed before i found one)

i agree with polo shirts, horrible t-shirts or something. but work shirts. i think that's sort of acceptable.

[Freebasser]

Is scallie a contraction of 'scallywag'?

Scally is a derogatory slang term for a social subculture, similar to "chav", but with different origins. The term is commonly used across the north-west of England and particularly in Liverpool and Manchester to describe the unemployed working class, who have little or no education, and are involved in antisocial behaviour.

Often romanticised through TV programmes like Brookside and Bread, the word 'scally' during the 1970s and 1980s meant someone who was a pioneer in fashion trends, and someone who was resourceful beyond his means with limited resources to begin with. During the 1990s the term started to be used to describe a yob or a hooligan.

The word's origins lie in Irish language. It is short for scallywag, which comes from an old Irish word for drudge or farmservant — sgaileog. It is a word which appears to be in common use within towns that have historic Irish communities, for example Salford, Warrington and Liverpool, where it is sometimes abbreviated to "scall". As one leaves the industrial belt of the Mersey and Irwell Valleys the word appears to have been replaced by chav.

Indeed.

[avignon]

[Kid Presentable]

The more people who wear those tight polos and stuff, the more people will want to wear them. It's not like an individual any of us know can be credited with actually starting the trend. It's just people trying to fit in because they don't know any better. I'm not begrudging their choice, but sadly I am judgemental enough to know when somebody is simply following the herd.

[QueenAdrock]

I could never date someone who cared about trends or fashion, just because I find it to be silly and a waste of money, and well...it's very sheep-like to go with what they're told is popular. It irks me to see some of these girls in downtown DC, because they all look the same, not one is unique or original. I dress simplistically. I go for plain tees and striped stuff just because stuff like that is timeless and looks nice. I like to date people who dress the same.

With that being said, it's such crap that people say guys who wear pink have "balls." Bull. If they had balls, they would have done it years before it was popular. It's safe to do now because so many OTHER guys do it. You didn't see guys dressing up in pink and popping their collars in 1998 did you? No, because they would have gotten made fun of. If they have balls now, they'd go out in a full-on rainbow colored tee, or something else that's seen as "out there."

[icy manipulator]

i just generally dont like the look because most of the guys i know who wear that stuff are wankers. i still love my shirt, and lots of ppl love it when i go out in it. everytime i've worn it out at least 1 person has wanted to get a photo taken with me :cool:

[avignon]

People who say that they are not affected by fashion trends are smug, superior knobs, and oh yeah, lying. There's a reason you are not wearing powdered wigs and corsettes and bustles and...stuff. It's because the fashion trends change with time. Let me put it like this. If I took a picture of someone in 1985 who swore that they'd never let fashion trends dictate how they dressed and we all looked at it today, we would be able to guess that it was taken in the mid-eighties because of the way the person was dressed and by their hair style, etc.

[avignon]

You didn't see guys dressing up in pink and popping their collars in 1998 did you?
It was huge in 1988

[Dorothy Wood]

when I was in high school, I used to wear a white boy's large polo shirt with the collar popped. I was trying to be ironic I suppose. it was 1996. and I wore super preppy stuff with punk stuff all the time. man, I'm the coolest. :cool:

[instigator7022]

Skinny jeans?
Popped collars?
Pink polo's?
Deep V-neck tee's?







all these things are horrible. I can tolerate the skinny jeans though.

[ericlee]

^everyone says something with their clothes. People assume things about you, because of the way you're dressed, that's a given. It's like assuming that a person who drives a Porsche must be loaded. It's an image thing.

Even you're presenting an image, with your jeans/tees/cargoes.

However, when my boyfriend, and his friends, wear pink shirts out in public they aren't waiting for someone to start a fight. They're wearing the pink shirt a) cause they like the colour b) cause they like the cut of the garment and it fits well c) occasionally cause they're label whores.
They aren't really wearing these clothes in the hope that some neanderthal will take exception to the colour/style and bash their heads in.

Fashion might be some pink-polo-popped-collar wearing jock's 'gimmick', but you've got one too. It's just not your clothing.

Anyway.

The image to me is a statement of yourself only if you want it to. Thus the reason why I have suits and ties for job interviews or other special occasions.

People who want to assume something about me because of what I'm wearing, then refer to the old breakdown of the work "assume". I don't need clothing to make me be me. I just like to be comfortable. As Run DMC would say, "Cause Calvin Klein's no friend of mine, don't want nobody's name on my behind".

It's also funny to see you defending the whole popped up collar- pink polo shirt on a Beastie Boys message board. When they start being trendy then I'll go ahead and not post here.

The only trend they're rocking that I can notice that's somewhat popular are the trucker hats but, they've been doing that since the old school.

[-T-]

The word metrosexual is constantly misused. That annoys me.

Any man with slightly higher than normal standards of personal hygiene and a sense of pride in his appearance is pretty much written off as being 'metro'. Whatever.
I have a friend who is constantly in awe of my boyfriend's 'metro-ness'. OMG he knows what exfoliant is? OMG he washes his hair more than once weekly? OMG he has more than three pairs of shoes? Yeah. Wow. I'm pinching myself, I can't believe it.

I still don't understand how a shirt colour can possibly affect one's levels of obnoxiousness, and increase the likelihood of dickhead behaviour.


I never suggested there is anything wrong with having pride in having good personal hygiene and attempting to look good. Thats not what I would consider a metrosexual. A metrosexual would be one who always has an inordinate interest in his looks and fashion. You know a pretty boy. One who is afraid to get dirty. One who spends a ridiculous amount of time on his appearance. Like a preppy high school girl. They usually think they are hot shit. Yeah your right, just because one dresses like a metro does not mean they are an dickhead. Its a stereotype I suppose.

A pink shirt doesn't bother me its all these things in one big flamer package.

[hardnox71]

lol, why the fuck would i want to go out with a guy who gets into barfights? (n)

screw that, no neanderthal men for me.
Yeah, you're right. Spineless guys who take shit from anyone and won't stand up on their own two feet get all the girls. :rolleyes:

[hardnox71]

me and dr deaf were at a bar downtown, sitting at one of two outdoor tables. this dude wearing a pink shirt and his two friends go walking past us, and this guy at the other outdoor table says "nice pink shirt" and his friends start kinda giggling. the dude yells back "it's salmon."

as if that makes it better.

hilarious.
Thank you very much, Bef. Exactly my point right there ^^.

If you're gonna be running around wearing pink, or 'salmon', you'd better have a damned good right hook because someone is gonna try to bring it to you. True story.

[Kid Presentable]

People who say that they are not affected by fashion trends are smug, superior knobs, and oh yeah, lying.
It's a little simpler; they just aren't wearing what everybody else is wearing.

[hardnox71]

I'm sorry, but hardnox - you're an idiot.

Sweets, if that's how you feel then why say you're sorry? If you think I'm an idiot, then you just think I'm an idiot. I don't care. You're not the first to think so and you definitely won't be the last.

Now, I never said that I go around beating up on people who wear pink, popped collars. I'm too old for that shit. I think it looks retarded, yes. But am I the one to start a fight over it? No. I did used to work alot of bars and clubs and I can tell you, firsthand, the shit that I've seen fights start over. Drunk guys talking shit to someone wearing a pink, popped collared polo shirt, khakis and penny loafers is guaranteed beat down!! Take my word for it, k?

Living in a civilized world is ideal but it is not realistic. That is not where we live most of the time, alright?

So, I will say this again. If you are going to be running around in pink with your fucking collar popped then learn how to fight because you will be.

[hardnox71]

My boyfriend and various members of his friendship group manage to go to bars and clubs wearing pink tees without any trouble. I don't think they need to expect a 'beat down'.
Give it time.

I know that barfights start over silly stuff - but I'd say that it comes more from someone's behaviour and attitude, as opposed to dress.
That's exactly right. And what is alcohol? It is a mood altering drug. It affects both behavior and attitude. The guy who nomally probably wouldn't say a word about it on the street is now talking long, loud shit about someone's clothing in a bar because he's all pissed up.

But then again, perhaps I just come from a more tolerant place.
Apparantly.

[Kid Presentable]

Hardnox, I will say that the majority of dudes in Australia go around sporting either a popped or a pink polo.

[hitmonlee]

You don't need a decent body to 'rock' skinny jeans. Emo faggots.

my friend chris is the hottest guy i know, he's not emo, he wears skinny jeans. he says if he falls down skating he gets less injuries, kinda like wearing leathers on a motorcycle.

oh man, he looks so, so hot in his skinny jeans and 80s op shop tshirts.

Yeah, you're right. Spineless guys who take shit from anyone and won't stand up on their own two feet get all the girls. :rolleyes:

you're an idiot. i like a guy that can talk himself out of a fight. real men don't need fists. losers start fights in pubs for no reasons. wtf is going to happen if you start a fight in a bar... i'll tell you. you and all your friends will get kicked out and possibly banned. i've seen it happen. yeah, that's awesomely cool. turns me right on.

It was huge in 1988

1998, or 1988? Because I know for a fact wearing pink shit wasn't in when I was in high school from 1998 - 2001, at least where I'm from. Never saw it except the past few years. It's only recently that these guys decided to all do it.

Either way, though I agree with your reasoning behind not wearing powdered wigs or whatever, that's a drastic comparison. Yes, we all wear tee-shirts and jeans now as opposed to blouses and pantaloons. But there's stuff that will change over decades, and stuff that changes from season to season. Stuff that changes season to season is the shit I was referring to, I personally think it's lame to keep up with shit like that because what may be popular one year is going to be "out" next year. I know a few girls who purchase fashion magazines to see what's in and what's out and base their clothing options around that, because they want to be with it or whatever. I mean, if you see something that you think is cool, by all means do it. But have some fashion taste of your own, create your own sense of style and don't just go with this cookie-cutter crap that the fashion industry tells you will make you hip, nahmsayin?

Hey, now. I'm not saying people who wear those styles are gay, it's just strangely effeminate to me. But they can keep wearing whatever they want if it makes them happy. I'm hoping I'm not becoming a target of some of the vitriol in this thread. People have made fun of the things I do, say and wear, and I don't really worry.

[ericlee]

ericlee - yeah, cause I follow fashion trends I can't enjoy music made by 'unfashionable' bands. Makes perfect sense.
It's not so much that I'm defending those particular looks, but I do believe that men should be able to wear what they want without being labelled gay/metro/wanker. Or in hardnox's case, having the shit beaten out of them for wearing a pink shirt cause y'know, it impresses the laydeeez.

I'm not saying that you can't enjoy music because you follow fashion trends. I'm just implying that this is a message board of a band who goes shopping in thrift stores for their threads. In that case, there's followers here who have the same thinking of fashion so of course, your pink popped t shirt liking is going to get bashed here.

In this case, you're wrong, we're right. I'm sure you can go to a New Kids on the Block forum and realize that nobody will argue with your theory there.

[ericlee]

I'm not telling people what to wear. I'm saying it's stupid to hate/label people just because of a shirt colour, style, whatever.

I'm not offended by criticism of, nor do I expect people to agree with my style preferences, but I do think that people should just get over the whole pink=gay argument. How old are people anyway?

There is no right, no wrong side here. Telling me to fuck off to a NKOTB forum to talk about fashion because all people here understand is thrift shopping is completely stupid. I'm not here saying OMG I SO LOVES POPPED COLLARZ SO HOT EVERYONE SHOULD WEAR IT at all - granted, I like it - but people should just stop being so immature and get over the fact that straight, nice guys can wear pink and pop their collars.

My whole argument from the start has been each to their own - people should feel free to wear what they want without others making false assumptions about their sexual preferance or level of 'manliness'.

Woah, where am I implying that people are gay for wearing a pink shiirwt? I d n't say it anywhere. I also didn't say for you to fuck off to a nkotb forum either. I said that you probably wouldn't find any argument over there about it.

I don't see how I'm being immature for not liking trends. I think it's immature for liking trends only because people end up shelling all kinds of cash into something just to look cool and then once the trend is over, they end up giving the clothes away and spend all kinds of money for the new trend.

Matching Adidas tracksuits because they are one of the founders of hip hop. Adidas tracksuits were worn back in the day with Run DMC, LL Cool J, etc and all they're doing is keeping the old school fresh by doing that.

i really don't care what anyone wears, i only care about what i'm wearing. or what someone else is wearing if i like it and want to own it. i also care, to an extent, what bobby is wearing because he has this one bruce lee t-shirt that i loathe, and he puts it on with pants that i can't stand, and then wants me to be out in public with him wearing it. ugh.

hardnox, i can say without a doubt a MINORITY of guys in australia wear popped collars. and pink shirts. i dont know a single person personally that does that.

[hardnox71]

you're an idiot. i like a guy that can talk himself out of a fight. real men don't need fists. losers start fights in pubs for no reasons. wtf is going to happen if you start a fight in a bar... i'll tell you. you and all your friends will get kicked out and possibly banned. i've seen it happen. yeah, that's awesomely cool. turns me right on.

PAY ATTENTION!! What did I just say a little while ago? Living in a civilized world is ideal but it's not realisitic. Shit happens no matter who you are or where you go. Running around in goofy looking shit doesn't help the situation any.

If you prefer a guy that can look himself in the mirror every fucking day knowing that he let's people treat him any old way they want to, and he doesn't do jack shit about it, if that's your ideal man, more power to you (and him.):rolleyes:

What's he gonna do when he can't talk his way out of a fight? He's gonna get his little pink polo shirt all fucking bloody. Stop living in TVLAND, hitmonlee. You can't talk your way out of everything. Sometimes you just gotta bring everything you got to the middle of the room and handle your business. And if you're a person who makes it a habit of running around in silly looking shit, eventually someone is gonna make you bring your A-game to the middle of the room.

That is, if you got the balls to stand up for yourself and are not afraid of getting your nice little shirt all wrinkled.

Ladies, are you sure you really like your guys to look like this? (http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o218/mikizee/douchebag5blpd4.jpg)

if so, I'd rather be single.
Oh, that's fucking funny!!!:D :D

If you look throughout history, pop culture has created some seriously ridiculous trends. Thank god I knew enough from a young age that maybe I shouldn't follow the majority of them. Some from my day:

Jnco jeans (I owned one pair, but they were regular fit, not the fucking 52 inch pantleg bullshit)

Trucker Hats(Again, I had one, but it was given to me as part of a baseball team. I didn't pay 40 bucks for it at Pacific Sunwear)

Indie/Emo Fag Uniforms(Flock of Seagulls hair/Girl's jeans/mascara, etc.)
--my most hated.

Popped Collars.

Wearing pants or shorts below your ass.

I mean, I really don't care what everyone wears. I'm not a dick like that. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna give you a chuckle and a "WTF!?!" under my breath when I walk past you. Who cares. You won't know anyway.

Exactly. Spot on. Most people don't give a fuck what someone else wears. I might see something that looks completely fucking retarded but I actually don't care enough to open my mouth and say anything. I figure 'he's the one that's got to walk around all day looking like that. That's his problem, not mine.' It's not my place to say anything. I'm also a little more mature than that. Not much, but just a little.

But someone, somewhere will open their mouth and try to test some guy dressed like a clown. That's all I'm saying.

i actually don't care if a person takes a beating rather than fighting back. i wouldn't think any less of them.

people have brains you know, there are places to wear a pink polo and places not to. you wouldn't wear a pink polo to a venue where its going to get you beaten up. same for me, i won't wear a revealing outfit to certain places so i don't get molested. use your brain and think, its really not that hard to avoid trouble.

i've dated guys that get into barfights, guys that can defend themselves, and guys that can't. you know which one of these 3 types was the only one to get in any fights/have people start fights with him?? the first one.

[ericlee]

it's funny to me that there are some serious fights going down in this thread, just like it was funny to me how people were fighting over bob's shoes.

Fights. Serious. In a thread. Me?

Hahaha. I was LOLing in this thing. Almost to the point of tears. I had a shitty two days of work and it kept me occupied.

Honestly, I could care less what people wear but, I do think people who wear popped pink polo shirts look like some douchebags. People probably think the same thing with my cargo pants and t shirts.

I'm bringing back parachute pants though. And clip on earrings too.

[befsquire]

no, not you ericlee. but there are some people who are getting seriously bent out of shape over this.

i like buying more classic items, because that way i can wear it until it wears out. but my jeans are a whole other story. i follow brand popularity, and i gotta tell ya, never in my life have i adored any brand of jeans the way i adore my sevens. they just fit better.

[hardnox71]

haha he'll ignore you!
:confused:
Why would I do that?

There is something seriously wrong with that line of thought. If a person takes a beating while giving everything he's got, then that's one thing. But if a guy just takes a beating and doesn't do anything to defend himself, that's just pathetic. But, hey, if that's the kind of guy that floats your boat then don't worry about what I say. Go handle your business!

i want it.

[Lyman Zerga]

I don't see how I'm being immature for not liking trends. I think it's immature for liking trends only because people end up shelling all kinds of cash into something just to look cool and then once the trend is over, they end up giving the clothes away and spend all kinds of money for the new trend.

brainwashed idiots..


a pink polo shirt on a manly classy 30+ year old guy can look hot but not on that 17 year old over plucked wanksta metros
but they look shit in everything anyway

[ericlee]

God, I thought this day would never come!!:D

For real man. I've got a pic of my cousin from 84 and he's got a pair of black parachute pants with the zippers all over and he's also got the Jacko red leather Beat It jacket on and he's also got a clip on earring.

I break that pic out during parties and shit. He's the king for the rest of the night after that.
