I don't know why but...

just love them. i'm sure they love you.

i don't really see anything wrong with dressing "stereotypical", nobody's truly original. the only problem is when it makes yer ego inflate.

 

ah, but there's a difference between, for example, between someone wearing a band shirt because they like the band, and someone wearing a band shirt because everyone their friends do.

that's a bad example, but you all know what i mean, i hope.

 

yeah but it doesn't change the fact that it's a piece of fabric sewn together, hiding some skin, that's hiding some bones. who cares?

 

obviously people care. it's not just about clothes, there's certain kinds of music that the "cool group" of kids steriotypically listen to, there's types of alcohol slutty chicks drink, type's of music different social circles listen to.

 

only in 90's movies

but really. so what? all people are different and unique once you know them personally, and if somehow they're not, soooo whaaaaatttt?

why is it that when people want acceptance most, we are most reluctant to give it to them? if we accept people for who they are, they'll feel free to actually be themselves.

 

I understand what your saying that it is only a shirt a mer piece of fabric. But when you do something for the statues of being "cool" thats when it becomes trying to hard...posing...what ever you want to call it. When wearing that shirt with the example severedheadstoner gave they aren't thinking like you they are thinking oh my gosh I shoul buy this because the cool kids at school like this band. They only want to be something their not....You are taking it to litteritly about the shirt thing. Its like when someone smoke a cirgerette or a joint to be cool. Not because they want to try these things its for the sake of them winning some "cool" statues.

But sadly the world is made up of lots of people who just judge someone. I hate it and well I guess the most you can do is state what you believe in and act upon it. You can;t really change anyones mind unless they want to. But being original and cool is being your self. If your, your self those things are already there!

 

we hate you to jk

I don't try to be anything. That would defeat the perpose of be being a non-conformist, wich is to be your own person, not a group.

 

Yea because your so much older than a 14 year old right?

 

Being original is just being you! Theres nothing to it. Buy what you want wear what you want regradless if its infashion or not.

 

It's understandable to be annoyed by some of the younger folks, because they haven't reached the maturity of some of us older folks. Still, some of us older folks are pretty immature, sometimes even more immature than the younger folks. It all depends on the individual.

 

That was the most mature rantrum i've ever read. congratulations. You obviously have no idea what being a hippy is about. It's a lifestyle. You can hardly call it a trend when there have been devoted hippies of all ages and walks of life for over forty years. And there is far more to it than smoking weed every day. And i'm not even a hippy.

 

haha you kids should wake up and realize this stupid debate will never be settled, there is no such thing as a true "original", fashion is STUPID, and there are much better things to talk about.

sorry to sound condescending, but i have heard this so many times.

 

I know I've never fit in with any one crowd.

Sometimes I shop at Hot Topic, sometimes the Gap, sometimes a thrift store. It just depends my mood.

Or maybe I have multiple personalities.

But I do know that labels are stupid, because people are constantly changing.

Styles change, trends change, I don't even know why people try to keep up with them. It looks exhausting,lol.

 

X__X *pukes*

lol. why do u care though? i mean... what does it do to you? (look beyond your judgement) so what they wear morrisson t-shirts and listen to the floyd... yea, theyre trying to fit into the trend of being a "hippie" . but is being a "hippie" any better? ... limiting your mind to certain aspects of life, having all written on you, and no looking beyond it, at least those kids have something to accomplish. you sound like someone who's got a jampacked consciousness full of negativity. but congratulations, youre wise for an 18 . im sure thats what your ego was looking forward for . job accomplished, well done . <3

- there is no specificway to lead life man... just scribble your way through it while making the wackiest piece of art . and stop complaining

once things stop annoying you... you might see beyond trends and personalities






shit. whats up topnotchstoner!!!, havent seen u here in months... hows that school thing going?!

 

y'know how that one picture will make people cry when you die? this quote is going to be in italic cursive underneith it.

i think actually being naively immature and afraid to be yourself is no worse than being the person who judges that as wrong, when we have all been that person at one point.

the person saying "you just don't know what it's like to be me" and the person saying "shut up and stop being so immature" are on the same level.

in fact, maybe the person who is judging the other person is actually on a lower level, because they really should know better. and the "poser" probably looks up to that person a lot.

i just don't see what's wrong with someone wearing tie dyes, ripped jeans, a bandana in their hair, and little lennon glasses, flashing a peace sign, if that's what they want to do. it's such a cute thought. how could that piss someone off?

pretty much; which is worse? being a poser, or being a shithead?

 

or maybe they just like grateful dead...

 

labels are stupid? I thought the idea of the hippies that it was the corporate world that was stupid, and therefore made their own clothes.

 

i know that you may be fed up, but there's people on here that are that age that are reading that and you're probably lowering their self-esteem quite a bit.. It's like.."Oh, I'm 14 and i'm just a lowly kid who knows nothing". Not all people that age are like that, you know, although some may be.

 

Although the people that dress "like everyone else" may seem like sheep, it's their choice to do that in the first place, just like it's someone else's choice to dress in a different way. It's good that young people are exploring alternative ways of life, branching out from the limits that people usually stick to, especially at such a young age. Perhaps they do not know EXACTLY what a hippie is, and may seem like posers, but at least they're exploring it and learning more about it. In a few years (or less), they'll most likely evolve into what they truely want to be, "hippie" or not. Hippies are just people...who are basically very unconventional and try to lead unconventional ways of life, and tend to be unhappy with their world and don't want a part in it, and want to protest it. Stereotypical stuff like the clothes and diets may be considered part of an unconventional lifestyle, like a fond love of nature and such.

 

haha cheers to that
