Emo, screamo, boho chic, and moreā€¦

Now that hipsters are old news and are mostly dead, what will the next trend be? I don't really follow trends or fads but they absolutely fascinate me. What's in?

Older fags can remember that a few years ago no one gave a shit about Korea and now you see koreaboos all the time (not that the weebs have died out though).

What do you all think? It is almost April, the people wants to know.

Had to respost this because my typos were killing me

The freshest trend currently is to wear the Hitler Youth haircut, alternatively a man-bun with shaved sides, a white Supreme Shirt and nike tube socks and telling you how he was "poppin so many xans last nite ;)"

Nah, fam. The trends you mentioned have all been popping for at least 3 years. I honestly think we're at a standstill.

Now it's all about girls with big lips and braided hair/cornrows who wear thrasher/ripped clothes/yeezy/slip dresses/adidas/nike/champion or basically anything from urban outfitters when they do a collab with a sportswear brand (like fenty and puma). Baseball caps too. It's the whole basic/ghetto girl look that ig girls have these days, or at least strive for. Tumblr girls are a bit edgier than that, if you look at the way they dress, I dunno how to describe it though

God. The insta baddie look is the worst thing to happen to fashion in years. No creativity, no flair, just bland athletic clothing, neutral colors and ridiculously well groomed eyebrows. I'm praying that heroin chic returns soon, something a bit dirtier and edgier than what's currently on offer.

To be fair, heroin chic wasn't that much better in terms of fashion/aesthetic. It just revolved around being a skinny, coked out white model chick (except for Naomi Campbell I guess). The actual clothes seemed very secondary or even irrelevant. No one else could really "pull it off" because it was more a lifestyle than an actual style.

Man I feel like Koreaboos came outta no where, they're on the same level of crazy as weebs it's pretty frightening and fascinating
That hipster shit is making me nostalgic, I remember I could not escape that stupid mustache trend when it was around, and it didn't help when it was mashed in with scene. Speaking of scene, was anyone a scene kid?

the worst trend rn is the drag levels of makeup people are encouraging to put on, I want that shit to die already

I hate to admit I was a huge scene kid in my early teens. Anyone who was REALLY regrets it trust me.

Man my brother's gf and all her friends do the whole baseball cap, denim jacket, crop top, shorts and sneakers thing (all in stupid colours) and it makes me groaannn.
I am in no position to talk since all my clothes are just plain basics (I am afraid of fashion) but it's just such a goofy look what she's doing. She looks like she's about to sprout a tumblr illustration red nose or some shit.

Koreaboos have been around for like 10 years anon.

I've noticed that in the U.S., it seems like fashion is at a standstill like

said.

Not sure what other anons think, but it seems that subgenres like scene, emo, goth, punk, and even prep are fading into some kind of Scandinavian conformist shit. I wonder WTF is causing this.

I honestly did not know that was a trend, a coworker of mine recently started to wear an addidas cap every day but I sort of just assumed she got a bad haircut/dye or something and was trying to hide it. I had no idea someone would wear that shit on purpose as an actual fashion choice.

Scandi chic is edgy and gives them cool kid points but still 'fashionable' and easily accessible thanks to Zara, Mango, COS and their ilk who actively propagate the style. And nowadays Scandinavia is associated with a high standard of living and European education so everyone wants to be mistaken for a Swede or whatever. Also minimalism is in thanks to KonMari and her book as well as young students wanting to be stylish and look 'rich' without breaking the bank (which is why you see so many rhomboidal wire flower pots and large industrial light bulbs spray painted gold and shit in interior decor). Millennials are the new it-generation so understandably high street fashion giants cater to them the most.

Personally I find it cringey, everyone looks like a giant monochrome tent and the shoes and fabrics always look so cheap because of the cut of the fabric (and in many cases because they actually are). I guess it's supposed to make some kind of statement but instead it just makes the wearer look hilariously autistic (much like Scandinavians themselves, lel)

It's weird how, the crazier makeup trends have become, the more basic fashion is. I never thought I'd see the day something like >>185308 would be considered trendy, but here we are.
I really hope that shit will reverse itself sooner than later. It's pretty inevitable, all trends come and go.

Wasn't scene but emo, still salty about the fact that the lines between the two are becoming more blurred. Emo is basically dead and replaced by scene.
>>185325
I can only agree. It was a cringe fest for everyone involved but at least it was a more "carefree" time?

No. 185348

atm people are trying to get jean skirts, mesh/see thru shirts, & long mid parted hair as a trend. It all reminds me of felice fawn for an odd reason.

I was never scene but I was emo in my early teens and i kinda regret it lol that shitty hair did me no favors.

Anyone on here has heard about "normcore" back in 2013-2014ish? It was never a big thing but maybe it will be not since the gist of it is dressing uh… Normal. Interesting.

At least that's what I hope since I hate the instahoe look

It's a reaction to mindless consumerism constantly being shoved down our throats, basically. Though it just inspires another kind of consumerism where you constantly binge and purge (get rid of everything that doesn't 'spark joy') in hope of finding the perfect item or piece of clothing which may or may not exist.

Kinderwhore was more of an established look, yeah. Would be cool to see it come back.
If you're familiar with weeb fashion, larme kei brands often do throwbacks to kinderwhore and Courtney Love.

Scandi chic is comfy af, though! And i think, even though it's not terribly exciting, the current minimalism trend is quite nice. It gives everyone a neat, orderly look, you know?

No. 185398

>>185397
Minimalism can be nice but it often comes off as too fashion victim-y. It just looks like it says 'I tried really hard to not look like I'm trying too hard' (French minimalism a la Breton stripes, jeans and a Le Pliage is horrible about this), and 'I don't care what you think about me (as long as it's positive)' (this is what Scandi chic looks like to me).

There's a way to pull off minimalism but it's as if people get their inspo from the same 3 pinterest images.

No. 185406

Instagram trends are god awful but honestly, I'm pretty happy that popular fashion trends are so bland and masculine and makeup trends are so heavy and aging. I don't like dressing the same as everyone else and that shit makes it so easy to look different, I know it's petty but it'd be annoying if trends happened to sync with my own taste.

Candy colored yoga pants and dry-fit tank tops

Interesting how weed/xanax is the "it" drugs of our generation. It's a big difference to the heroin/cocaine duo of the 70s/80s/90s.


One thing I notice those eras were more glamorous and more raw and sensual in their presentation. Now everything seems a bit goofy and too minimalist if that makes sense.

No. 185736

i think minimalism is definitely a tendency, which i persoally love, but i dont think things are any less sensual now. i actually thing everything is MORE sensual than ever. and also 'fake'. having fake lips, fake eyebrows etc is almost the norm. plastic beauty.

The 70s/80s focused on a type of beauty that wouldn't be seen today. It was extremely sensual with its focus on feline-like aesthetics, big hair, glamorous and over-the-top outfits, naturally athletic bodies, heavy makeup, ect. You're right that this era is more minimalistic and fake but because of that it is less raw and less sensual.

I'm personally bored with the modern aesthetic. It shows more skin but it's less enticing and primal.
