hella aced my physio test i took. 109% ^______^ gotta love curves. oh, and there was this one article in the raider review today that really got my attention.
alright, so the article that i read was about hypebeasts. yes, hypebeasts. it caught my attention because there's a heck of a lot of them and i hope that they read it, and understood how ridiculous they are. and this is my rant for the day as well =) most of the things here are true for myself, but i don't take it to this extreme.
let's start with the clothes shall we? two words: underground clothing. (ie. stussy, the hundreds, supreme, and the list goes on) most of these brands have already gone mainstream because of the hype. ok, these things cost over 30-50 with a label on it. supreme for example: white shirt, futura font with the word SUPREME, and a red box. WOW. you pay over 30-50 for that? you can make that at home for less -.- c'mon now. if they're not wearing these shirts, usually you can find them wearing a plain < fill in your color here > shirt or a v-neck to keep their cover from being blown for being a hypebeast. for myself, i only have 1 shirt from the hundreds and 1 shirt from stussy, and i hardly wear them. and yes, i wear v-necks as well, but that's the only hypebeast thing about me.
moving on, how about jeans? words cannot describe how many fake pairs of jeans kids wear nowadays. they pay over 100-200 to make themselves, more specifically their butt, to look good. at school, oh my god, i've seen the fakest pairs of evisus and true religions ever. the 2 specific people that have them wear them at least once a week. every time i do, i laugh at the fact that they don't know their ish. you wanna know how fake they are? let me talk about the evisus. the one who wears them only has one seagull on the pocket, and there's a LEVI'S tag on the side of the pocket. EPIC FAIL is it not??? i wear evisusxpuma jeans all the time, no lie there. but i know their story and what they came to be, unlike other kids who wear them because they see the cool kids have them. oh, and if you;re looking for evisus, PLEASE DO NOT search on google, "jeans with the mcdonald's sign on the pockets" that's just stupid and shows your a hypebeast.
accessories, i guess you can say, shows as well. those things you call "gauges", referring to the tools to stretch your ears, THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY'RE CALLED. use the right name PLEASE, whether it be tapers, pinchers, retainers, etc. stretched out ears aren't that appealing, honestly. i mean, i do it, but i have the smallest size, and that's just to keep the hole open in my ears. going past a size 0 or 00, that's just wrong...
what makes these people REALLY distinguished from others is their shoes. these kids fell into the hype of buying sbs and jordans barely 3 years ago most likely? thinking they know their ish, but they don't. if you hypebeasts think you know your stuff, then tell me:
name all the orange box sbs that came out.
what sb dunk was sold at an auction for charity, then cut up into pieces by the owner?
what sb dunk is the rarest out of all that were made, only distributed to certain people, and not sold in stores?
name all the colors of the supreme dunk highs that were sold?
what accessory were made in commemoration with the supreme dunks?
why did nike's collab for their sb dunk heinekens were claimed unofficial?
why did the price for tiffany's rise from 99 to 400?
what was the significance behind the tiffany's? and what other name did they go by before the nickname "tiffany's" came to be?
what was the original design for the tiffany's before nick diamond changed them?
who was the maker of the vans "half cab" model?
what jordan shoe caused a riot when they were retroed?
what jordan was recalled because of their color?
what sb caused people to get jumped in new york?
i bet NONE of you hypebeasts can answer all of these questions. so please, leave the collecting to the ones that have been collecting for years, and go back to your other shoes you wore before you found out about sbs and jordans. nowadays, these "collectors" think that black box sbs are rare. please kids...if you're going to collect, go for the earlier releases. for myself, i've been collecting since i was 7 years old, collecting jordans, so don't hate on me. i had the OG flint 13's, and that's how i came to be. i found out about sbs when they came out in 02 as well, but i didn't really care for them until later.
this wasn't in the article, but i just wanted to add. DSLRs. your typical hypebeast has a dslr camera, whether it be canon, nikon, or some other brand. they spend over 500 bucks to take pictures with the auto-focus option. HELLO!!! a DSLR is meant for manual-focus. what's the point of having a DSLR if you're just using the auto-focus?? might as well buy a point and shoot camera if you do that. i only shoot auto-focus because my eyes aren't that great at manual. i shoot manual as much as i shoot auto though. i do professional photography, and people have asked me to do photo shoots. you kids with your d40s, d60s, d300s, d90s (i'm only randomly naming the one's that came into my head, not pin pointing any in general.) freakin' shoot with manual focus like a real photographer.
moral? hypebeasts, just stop. you're just making fools out of yourselves. stop following what other people do. you need a reality check...rant over =)
semi-matching today too...if you looked close enough xD haha nice...
photoshoot later for the kids' prom around 4...have a safe night kids. don't come back too messed up, or else i'll have to teach you a lesson when i see you :P
pacquiao ftw =)
