The Official 2012 NBA Casual Wear Thread - We're Back, Word To Magic!

[|A-Man|]

Yall dudes seem to be overreacting and/or salty about this headphone thing. Why yall let meaningless things like this get to you so much? I don't do this but when I'm walking around in the city it don't bother me when I see it.

@ that random ppl comment. As if ppl are always wearing the headphones on their ears at all times. Like the style aint sometimes to have it around your neck. Besides engaging in conversation with random ppl isn't appealing. The person doesn't need to make themselves approachable or accessible, if they want to talk to random ppl they'll initiate it with the headphones off their ears.

....ive seen people online get visibly upset over someone using their phone to listen to music instead of a dedicated music player 

. with the same BS justifications for their feelings. on some you look immature listening to music on your phone, as if the average person can tell the difference between the two. especially between and ipod and iphone.
....i guess man, i mean if you want to spend your negative energy on such things by all means man, knock yourself out. just keep in mind just as you are free to get mad over such trivial things that have nothing to do with you directly, that individual has the same freedom to keep on doing them with 0 damns given about how you feel.

....it reminds me of this girl i knew that considered all video games for little boys only. she scoffed at any female or men that enjoyed playing video games, even the little time killers that come pre-installed on your phone.
 
...i love asinine opinions, and the people that stand behind them like its the law. i marvel at these individuals and their opinions like wildlife.

  

 

[gunna get it]

wait , we're upset over a musician wearing Headphones in public... okay

 

[regal black]

less bickering, more pictures

 

[|A-Man|]

Yeah, that's the clear divide. I can't understand the logic that wearing headphones in public is something only teens should do. To me anyone subscribing to that train of thought is lame.

 

[runningfishy]

Silly is what silly is. I know about the whole SKULL CANDY PHONE look and all. When I see someone like that, I'll instantly categorize them a certain type. I don't care, that's just how this world is. Don't wear stupid clothes and don't have stupid styles.

[Trillmatic90]

What's immature about wearing dre's/headphones if your over 30? If a person wants to listen to music or watch something, so be it. 

 

[frink85]

just to add my 2c, it only really bugs me when people (kids/adults) wear them to places where they should be paying attention. like at a basketball game. or when with others, i would find that incredibly rude if i was with my friends and someone had their big %%# headphones on the whole time.

 

[shogun]

That's a nice leather jacket.

So where are headphones acceptable? Your house? This is madness. 
Every time I go to the supermarket I have my headphones on, what else am I supposed to be doing? I'm walking around the supermarket alone, picking up things, the music helps the time pass by, just like the people who always call someone on the phone when they go to the supermarket. I'm 23

Thought there was a big increase in pics because the thread jumped a bit...only to find out yall are yappin about headphones

  

 

[shogun]

I was at the mall and thought about buying bright shirts with weird prints like Westbrook 

.  It's summer so at least it would look appropriate.  Didn't see any good ones though.  I already have to wear eyeglasses but they are simple ones.

His headphones stop him from watching a basketball game?

Russell Westbrook may be the worst dressed athlete I've ever see. Its like he's trying to do this bad. He's one of my favorite players too!

KD is hit or miss.... tall dudes suppose to swag it out. Westbrook +%**%# up

It's ignorant regardless of the size....

And for me live sports is about the atmosphere so it kind of defeats the purpose imo... I don't know, i've never tried it so maybe i'm sleeping on it 

 

That stuff aside, a clown is a clown. It's easy to look at people and make snap judgements but I ain't bout to throw everybody with a pair of beats into the same bracket.
