I've already had a discussion about normcore with someone and the thing is a lot of people have misconstrued what normcore was, myself included

http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/19118/1/everyones-got-normcore-totally-wrong-say-its-inventors

>Basically, normcore in its original form has nothing to do with clothes and more to do with personalities: it's the idea that an individual adapts to a situation at hand and embraces the normalcy of where they are and who they're with.

>So you could go to a football match during the day and wear a replica football strip like everyone else, then go to a cyberpunk night later on and wear head-to-toe Cyberdog.

What I do is moreso "Acting Basic", which is in any case dressing in quite a dressed-down and un-ostentatious way. Like Seinfeld, or in my case, like Patrik Ervell.

Not necessarily: you can still style it in a different way and put forrward your own "style", but it's about dressing in the appropriate context, dressing to blend in in most cases - not by dressing down or dressing "boringly", but by assimilating yourself to everyone else

>> No.7903278

>>7901366
Yeah, it's basically just the 90s revival going on. Just a backlash against the extremely fashion-conscious early 10's and late 00's. Who knows, we might even see the downfall of all those fashion blogs and stuff, and in 10 years we'll wonder "WTF did we think?!"

The advanatages it has over the hipster styles that were big until now are:
>It's cheap
>Everyone can wear it, it's accessible as fuck
>It's comfortable


And to those who say it looks like shit: We all laughed at Emos wearing skinny jeans and hipsters wearing bears 8 years ago, and look at us now. You'll come around when normcore is "in".

skinny jeans was a thing since from late 70's.

That isn't it at all. At it's base. normcore is a rebellion against rebellion, because rebellion has become the norm. The last cancerous outcrop of rebellion was the hipster. Everyone wanted to be a hipster. Everyone WAS a hipster. And therefore, rebellion became normal, mainstream, uncool.

I've said it years ago: Reactionary is the new revolutionary. When everyone is a revolutionary, revolution ain't cool anymore.

Bullshit. Everyone did. Those were the time when everyone was wearing bootcut jeans and racing jackets. Emos stuck out like a sore thumb and were ridiculed for that reason.
