The thing with these fashion trends is that there's always a percentage of people that never move on. I'm sure that these aliens can find the guys they're looking for somewhere.

Exactly, they are all in Portland, OR.

I was gonna say that is not a dead look in Vancouver either.

It's practical when you live in a temperate rainforest.

Is the dream of the 90s still alive in Portland?

I had a professor who never moved on from his hipster phase. Every once in a while he'd switch it up and wear tech bro sports jackets and graphic tees, like he was trying to branch out but he was more comfy with what he cultivated on his twenties and thirties lol

wait, what, hipsters are not cool anymore?

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 4 points 1 day ago

Were they ever?

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 20 points 2 days ago

They were, until everyone else started doing it.

More like that's not what hipsters look like anymore. There's always hipsters, although given how strongly that word is associated with the 2010s they'll probably get called something else.

More like that’s not what hipsters look like anymore.

they may have dropped the flannel shirts, but there is more hipster barbershops in my neighborhood than starving people in north korea...

Belgium! They are all in Belgium.

Just come to Eastern Europe where every trend arrives a decade later.

I haven’t seen a scene girl with stripey hair in so long.

Yes goth is the next pokemon stage before evolving into witchy crochet cat lady.

🎶It's the circle of life🎶

There is also the Goth2Boss evolution pathway as an alternative.

Most of the scene girls I've seen/hung out with are newer edition girls.

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Saw one at the grocery store a few weeks ago.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

All is well in god’s earth.

[–] PoopingCough@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

They're definitely out there. TikTok is actually pretty good for all these little micro niche communities at least as far as seeing people who are still keeping the culture alive.

My favourite kind of guy was always the Ed Hardy guy. Guys with bedazzled shirts, ripped jeans and blonde hair. Even better when they were 40+ years old. I think these people just vanished

Yep. And more likely in large cities than the rugged outback.
