What is the current/upcoming alternative trend?

From what I know:
- Emo kids turned scene
- Scene kids turned hardcore/hipster
- Hardcore/hipster girls turned kawaii or something
- Don't know what happened to the guys, I think they're still in their hardcore/hipster phase

True. The trend right now is the choker, black lipstick, basic bitch look.

I think a lot of the guys usually turn hipster. To be completely honest I swear scene/emo is not a phase. Some parts stick with you like a ghost.

yesss this thread is good yessssssss

I saw two massively fat girls outside of mc donald's (no surprise there), they had cropped blue and purple hair with sleeveless denim jackets that had "die scum" on the back, paired with those shit galaxy leggings along with suzy tier black lipstick and brows. Also I keep seeing 11/12 year olds with red spiky dyke hair so yeah I think scene is mostly dead, it's tranny tumblr dyke couture now kids.

Wasn't sad rap or cloudrap, the music genre, a thing since a few years, too? It's some kind of clash between nostalgia (anime, games) and everything else (tumblr fashion, "couture" fashion and so on) and ofc add humoristic traphouse rap (drugs, being important and cool).

There are still a lot of scene girls with scene hair. Just look at the comments on any LedaMonsterBunny photo. Its just that they've crossed over with being weeaboos/~kawaii~ now. but they still have the scene hair. i think for awhile scene was called "fashioncore".

I hated scene back in high school and wished it would go away once everyone grew into sensible adults, because no one would take you seriously in college or the professional world if you go around self-posting a thousand crazy MySpace angles like the self-absorbed bitches they were. Ugh

So that this is one of the trends that stay in high school only. Case in point:

>was at a friend's wedding not too long ago,someone I knew from high school. I saw her now sister-in-law there, and she had the whole scene shit going on. She's still in high school, and she was the only one 18+ that was scene at the wedding. Everyone else looked 'normal', or even classy.


I view it to be such a juvenile style, and back then I thought it was just a rip-off of the Japanese visual kei aesthetic, lol.

I was jealous of the freedom they had to express themselves, tbh. I wasn't even allowed to dye my hair brown (naturally blonde) until I graduated hs.

I still enjoy vkei style, though. It's fun to look at and is relatively creative.

I found it really strange that so many people in jfashion were once scene kids, I assume it is because jfashion can be more mature while still attention whoring on social media.

I was sort of a toned down emo boy in highschool, and most of it has continued into my 20s.

Anyone I had met into it was nuts about screamo and dying their heir and getting piercings. I just wanted to be a sad greysale blob with anime hair and listen to emo pop all day.

The next trend will be whatever the previous one was, but normalized.

If you think about it, the scene kids who turned into hipsters are basically just toned down scene kids. They sometimes still have weird hair, but not super crazy (usually just purple/silver and curled, or a natural color). They still have tattoos and piercings, but are toned down and not usually excessive.

My prediction is that the next big trend will be dressing 'normal' and having modifications like tattoos and piercings. Minimal makeup, minimal hair work. I don't think the joke trend of 'normcore' was very far off tbh.

No. 49656

>>49654 I agree, the "understated" style that makes it look like you didn't try, but you tried a lot and you do care, but it looks like you don't care and that you hardly have to put in effort with your style to look good.

Kind of like how a classic white cotton tshirt and jeans looks good on anyone (if you have a good body though.)

No. 49659

>>49654
idk, man. minimalist fashion is really difficult to pull off unless you have an extremely good body/facial features already. I can't see it becoming mainstream. there are some people who already dress like this, but you have to have a good 'canvas' for it to be flattering…and the majority of people, quite frankly, don't. fashion is supposed to make you feel good about yourself, accentuate your nicest features & conceal your biggest insecurities. otherwise people won't buy it, no matter how 'trendy' it is.
If I had to predict upcoming trends, it depends on the 'urban tribe'. Subcultures like punk are goth aren't going away anytime soon, but they do evolve: my bet for the next trend would be 'dystopian goth'–lots of distressed, tattered and/or bleached pieces, chunky futuristic jewelry, etc. combined with cybergoth elements like platforms and dreads, but in sepia tones, and on the opposite end of the spectrum, some kind of inverse-spectrum updated-romantigoth cross between dracula's brides and the nymphet/living doll look.
For normcore, I think that vintage fashion is slowly seeping back in. Brands like Anthropologie are emphasizing a 'mature twee' style at the moment. Girlish but not cutesy silhouettes & motifs seem to be on the rise, while for men it'll be a competition between a clean-cut 'urban' style (track-suits, sneakers, etc) heavily influenced by Kanye West, with an emphasis on branding, or a modern take on the teddy-boy trend that enjoyed popularity briefly in the 50's. The younger crowd, teenagers and such, will take their influence from K/J-fashion trends like ulzzang/K-pop looks. Fashionable boys will start leaning towards androgynous, faux-haute stylings such as those adopted by Haku, while girls will be influenced by the 'ironic 90's' looks that you see circulating on tumblr currently.

No. 49660

>>49654
>>49659

I see normcore gaining more traction. Just 5 years ago you would've been made fun of hardcore for pairing NB shoes/regular tennis shoes with an outfit but now its considered very trendy.

So I think minimalism with strong statement pieces will be very in. It'll combine the special snowflake look with a structured style. e.g loose white shirt, cropped pants, tennis shoes all in neutral tones and then a weird bag, or pastel hair or an exaggerated necklace. Even though that is a thing now, I think it will grow past the fashion blogs into regular streetwear.

Will we be looking back in 20 years' time and laughing at people wearing these types of patterned/harem pants?

I usually err on the more conservative side of fashion and held out on buying these types of pants for a long time. Really hard to find any that don't balloon out (but the fatties must be happy for the baggy fit.) But I must say these types of pants are as comfy as fuck. I just wear them with sandals and a plain singlet to tone them down.

The pants with the low crotch at the knees make people's legs look fucking stupid though - as if their legs are 15 inches short. I wouldn't wear those.

No. 49669

>>49656
>>49660

Exactly. Minimalism with an emphasis on shape, with a hint of whats left over from the hipster trend (tattoos, piercings, possibly weird hair).

Think American Apparel model with body modifications. No need to be traditionally attractive just like the hipster trend, you pick out pieces that compliment you physically while being simplistic.

The only issue I see with my prediction is the fact that a lot of people don't know how to dress for their shape or just buy whatevers trendy, despite it not suiting them. Still, I think it's definitely a big possibility.

No. 49734

>>49730
well, f21 is one of the 'fast fashion' retailers that have contributed to places like AA's downfall. although their garments are cheaply manufactured, they at least keep up to date on new trends.
the core issue imo is that American Apparel mostly sells 'basics', which don't change that much from season to season. customers don't see a reason to return because they don't see a notable difference in stock, and what they do sell can be found in a multitude of other stores at a lower price. unless you're buying for the brand name, there's not much motivation to shop there regularly. they need to change their 'image' for something that's got more mass appeal if they're going to survive.

if minimalist fashion did become the next 'scene', I think it would only increase the demand for unique garments/accessories. after all, nobody wants to show up to a party and be caught wearing the same outfit as every other girl there.

The plain, toned down version of goth/punk(or at least tumblr's interpretation)/emo/scene is already all over the streets and closets of girls everywhere. it's called "soft grunge", basically the casual, sportier street wear version of nugoth's formal. Both now largely feature 90s nostalgia influences.

On the other end of the spectrum, there's that creepy nymphette look that former romantigoths, weebs, scenequeens (or simply more feminine dressed girls) have started to adapt to.
