Rant 327 22/11/12 Subject: Stupid fashion fads

Rant number 327

I'd like to think that I have made the world a little bit of a better place with these rants.  I spread the message of misery and despair to you all, free of charge - every single day.

Now, I know that most people try and spread a message of hope however, I think that thats a bit crap. Hope often leads to disappointment, whereas me telling you that the world sucks for me also - is bound to cheer you up.

The germans call it schadenfreude - which I think is about as german sounding word as you could possibly imagine - and it means simply 'taking pleasure in the misfortune of others.'

I would also like to think that I have made it more socially acceptable to have a rant of your own! One such rant is my inspiration for todays rant (though I have broadened the subject somewhat.)

Her initial statement was about Onesies - which really are one of the stupidest fashion fads to date.
You might think that they are a fashion statement for the 10ees?(what the hell do you call the second decade in a century anyway?) but I think that they are simply a statement for idiots.

In the past, the only one piece suits of this type that existed were:
A) Baby grows - worn by babies and men behind closed doors...
B) Frogmen/divers in general.

I don't want to see people walking around in what is tantamount to a baby grow. The same goes for 'morph suits' which are basically the same thing - but cover your head.

These things are just about acceptable for halloween costumes - but are not everyday wear.

I saw an lady old last week, wearing a spotted rabbit onesy - complete with ears.

Some people have no fucking dignity.

The same rule applies to hats/hoodies or other sundry items that have either:
A) Ears
B) Eyes
C) The face of an animal

The same also applies to those beard hats - or pretty much anything worn by a hipster. It doesn't matter if you wear something stupid ironically. You are still wearing it.

Then there are the sundry other fads that have happened since my teens:

Parachute pants (can't touch this) - great song, naff dancing and naffer trousers. Whats worse is that these have not been reinvented as hareem pants.

Then there was those luminous trainers - which (to my shame) even I had. They looked great for about a moment - before they got covered in mud and looked crap.

While we're on the subject, there is the subject of Crocs & Ugg boots. They just look bloody awful.

And as for Shell suits these weren't just ugly as hell, colour clashing monstrosities. They were a fire hazard too.

Oh and there was that thing with wearing backwards baseball caps too.

That's about all I can take now.

Wearing the latest fads doesn't make you cool. It makes you a boring fucking sheep - like the rest of the idiots.

Rant over.
