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.

Rant 141 20/5/12 Subject: Stupid fashion fads

Rant number 141


Yesterday, I popped into town for a couple of bits and pieces. I've already talked about how much I hate going into town on a Saturday. It seems that Saturday town folk have no sense of personal space, or of even basic common sense.

That isn't my annoyance at this point however.

No, what got to me yesterday was the stupid things that people were wearing. What on earth has happened to peoples brains.

First of all, I saw a boy in parachute pants.

Yes, you did read that right: a boy (male human) was wearing parachute pants.

Now last time I checked we have not been in the 80s for around 22 years - and even then the fad was stupid.

I really do despair of people who insist on looking so daft. Unless you are MC Hammer- you just can't pull it off!

Then there are the girls who walk around the streets wearing see-thru clothes out in the open in the middle of the day. I might sound like a bit of a granddad here - but I really don't think its terribly appropriate for some 14 year old tart to be showing herself off in this way. Why not just cut out the middle man and get 'slut' tattooed on your forehead?

Your parents must be very proud.

Then there are the fads that simply perplex me such as crocs and ugg boots. I think these both just look awful - and the latter cost a fortune. I think that some evil fashion based organisation out there somewhere is having a proper laugh at the excuse of the people who buy this stuff!

Parents: you need to stop letting your kids dress themselves!

Rant over.
