"NORMCORE" VOL.....NTDenim????????

[SC kid]

Normcore (noun) 1. A fashion movement, c. 2014, in which scruffy young urbanites swear off the tired street-style clichés of the last decade — skinny jeans, wallet chains, flannel shirts — in favor of a less-ironic (but still pretty ironic) embrace of bland, suburban anti-fashion attire. (See Jeans, mom. Sneakers, white.)

. A little more than a month ago, the word “normcore” spread like a brush fire across the fashionable corners of the Internet, giving name to a supposed style trend where dressing like a tourist — non-ironic sweatshirts, white sneakers and Jerry Seinfeld-like dad jeans — is the ultimate fashion statement.
. As envisioned by its creators, “normcore” was not a fashion trend, but a broader sociological attitude. The basic idea is that young alternative types had devoted so much energy to trying to define themselves as individuals, through ever-quirkier style flourishes like handlebar mustaches or esoteric pursuits like artisanal pickling, that they had lost the joy of belonging that comes with being part of the group. Normcore was about dropping the pretense and learning to throw themselves into, without detachment, whatever subcultures or activities they stumbled into, even if they were mainstream.

Dressing.......normal?

^ Those videos hurt my head.


Don't understand, so it's basically paying more for the same style and brand?

 

[airedweezy]

Wait so hipsters don't wanna be hipsters but still be hipsters or is it people trying to be different by wearing what no one is wearing but wearing it because it's cool not to wear it

This is dumb and confusing won't catch me in those articles of clothing. I'll stick to my yeezus apc shirt

Not necessarily paying more. In fact, in all likelihood paying less

alot of fashion is reflective of da economy...since 2008 cats been getting crazier hairstyles, weirdo clothes, and more giant tattoos to replace da fact that Cars, luxury duds, and jewelry are out of people's budget these days....but you still wanna stick out.

Normcore only works as a "im so ahead im bout to lap you twice" as da theory i see.

like someone who can afford anything and everything is outfitted in da most suburban mediocre threads imaginable to look as inconspicuous as possible...dad hats swag golf caps, wrangler jeans, air monarchs.

doesn't work for folks not in on da irony..

^ Agreed, I also think it's an offshoot of this move towards minimalism in fashion (muted colors).

"I like how people are going so far to rationalize what is just the cyclical turn back to 90s fashion."
