Why Has The Grunge Look Continued To Be So Popular In North America?
If you take a cross-section of young men and women in North America, quite a lot of them are still doing the grunge thing. In general, this applies to caucasians. What do I mean?
- nose rings and other facial piercings
- body piercings
- tattoos
- messy hair
- messy facial hair for guys
- clothes fitting into one of these categories
– uncared for, rough, worn pants, tops, coats
– retro/vintage wear
– hats
– “ethnic” clothes (shawls, knitted hats, stuff you never see in Suburbia – reserved for city-dwellers wishing they were in the Andes)
– “my unique style” clothes, usually a mishmash of the above, sometimes neatly done, but requiring a piercing or hat to not just be a poser
So….??? What’s up with this? I was overseas for several years, came back, and everyone looks the same, only it was a little more “alternative” back then.
Is there something wrong with smooth skin, shaving, clean clothes, lack of accesories? Or am I not white anymore?
it all up to the person and their personal style and comfort level
plus we all have the freedom of expression and i am happy to see anyone show individuality (:
theres nothing wrong with wanting to dress this way..its a style that people like and happens to be very in. i like that style and i dont see anything wrong with it.
some people like grunge, some people like hip-hop and some people still wear the hippy thing… and these things have continued since the time it started, what is the difference? what your realling saying is that you don’t like it…… whats wrong with the grunge style … ”leave them alone’
