>Is normcore a thing?
yes, it's been extensively covered by the lamestream media

>Why are people taking it seriously?
because everyone is tired of seeing over-filtered, over-produced, gay workwear fits on fat people with no sense of styling or proportions, who just happen to own a copy of photoshop and an expensive camera. it's a pushback from the crowd that doesn't have to prove anything against the general public who think they can claim equal footing with these people on fashion matters

read the K-Hole and NYTimes article and see how it suits you

don't let the ppl interpreting it as a 90s revival get to you

>>7902551

Who dat far right fuccgurl?
Dem dick sukkin lipz tho

>>7902559

link?

It's not style is reactionary nostalgia for a time people didn't fully experience. 90's style is the worst after 70's style. I wasn't a good look at the time, it's not a good look now.

Normcore is fashion's vaporwave tbh. The parallels are ridic.

>>7902573

>>7902551

It's trying to say everyone has style, fuck that inclusive bullshit. No, not everyone has style, that is some mistermort commie attitude.

>>7902589
I'm not a vaporfag tho :(

I just know theyre using the same kind of strategic marketing // making more of a social statement. It's like when those mu vaporwave threads started popping up

>>7902551

This shit so fucking bad.

>>7902591

I read it, these people are vapid. It's offensive.

>>7902551

this is somehow a momevent?

> Lewis says his “look of nothing” is about absolving oneself from fashion.

LOL by reacting to it with an extreme level of selfawareness - This guy makes Zoolander seem like Cervantes.

>>7902601

What the fuck is next listening to Creed and Kid Rock because that is what the average American listens to?

>>7902609

> I like the idea that one doesn't need their clothes to make a statement.

LOL by making a statement through my clothes.

>>7902615

hang on isn't this just irony being fashionable again?

didn't we finish this shit like a just a few years ago?

>>7902591
The slideshow at the end nearly made me puke.
Well, it's still better than seeing fat swagfags on everyday basis.

>>7902551
> “Styling is about showing different types of clothing in a new way,” she says, “which normally means taking something—an item, a character or an idea—that I find kind of ugly and gross, and making it good.”


Derelicte

>>7902622

Well it makes sense, the trends in hipster are cyclical as well...this is no different than wearing a trucker hat in 2000.

>>7902630

funnily enough truckers were sincerely something people liked after a while. It's like it goes

> joke
> slowly accepted
> widespread
> mainstream
> overdone
> dead

repeat

>>7902551

It's funny how it's not exactly normal though, these fagets will not be wearing bootcut distressed jeans and AE sweaters.

>>7902636

Well we also the same distance now from 2000 as 2000 was from 1986, and in 2000 is when all those 80's retro bands came out, same shit, different year.

They seem to project a lot, I never dressed to separate myself from the masses, maybe they did, but lots of people just wear what they like.

>>7902551

Seriously, this is not normcore in the slideshow, it's Floridian single mom buying newports at the 7/11, and a burrito for her mixed baby.

When I see pics of people in the 90's I rarely think they look good. I just think "whats with the baggy sleeves and baggy khakis?"

>>7902551

This bitch can call it whatever core she likes - It's still shit.

This was fucking terrible when my english teacher wore it, and it's fucking terrible now.

I get what they are saying though, it's hard to tell who is really stylish now, because fashion is more popular. Bottom line these people are trying way too hard.

On normcore: “Normcore, yeah. My friends did that. They do K-HOLE... People call it ‘Bardcore’ too. Like Bard the school. It’s funny.”

"The one thing about normcore that’s cool is that you want to be approachable by as many people as possible rather than being divisive or elitist.”

People are such pussies these days.

i like this phrasing

i see people with bookbags, boots, and scarves (all likely copped from H&M) trying to make a statement and i'm sittin in my white tee, stonewashed jeans, and reeboks... it's weird

Is this normcore?

>>7902666

lmao this

the thing i love most abt wearing all black rick ann dem etc outfits is how they are permeated with really strong elistist stay the fuck away from me vibes its like the best thing about fashion ever holy fuck

like nigga i aint equal to ur walmart wearing broke ass

>>7902597

You're right...

What is the /lit/ version? DFW? Writing like E.L.James?

did I do good /fa/ ?

>>7902673
>i'm sittin in my white tee, stonewashed jeans, and reeboks.

You are trying to make a statement too. Fuck you. Admit the fact that you don't like that H&M/American Apparel/Zara has let the average person dress better, and that more people care about fit now than before.

>>7902679
no this is normcore.

>>7902697

yeah, congrats, you have no style.

>>7902699

sure i'm trying to make a statement, but haughty people wearing red H&M chinos have turned me off the idea of peacocking

i see them and i wonder if people think see that same haughtiness (though for the most part, ive never distanced myself from people - my fits have always been pretty down to earth imo)

>>7902708

/fa/ fam we made it

>>7902597
vaporwave never made a social statement lol
marxist kiddies pretended it did b/c they wanted to feel relevant

>>7902709

Why the fuck is what other people might think you might be granted more importance than what you yourself know you are?

>>7902697

No, color combo isn't norm enough. Try changing that jacket to orange.

>>7902721
Macintosh Plus definitely made a statement about it when creating the first(?) vaporwave tracks. I mean, it was a pretty shallow one, but then again so is normcore.

>>7902551

I think Tim Heidecker started normcore.

Why don't girls wear body suits IRL? They're so sexy but I only ever see them on models

This is my fetish

>>7902742

i feel like i'm special, but for unspecial reasons. i'm a product of playing vidya as a kid, getting into computers, browsing forums, and developing a personality that way.

idk. i'm not a total internet memelord nerd and i have a unique, engaging personality (at least imo) but i know a lot of what i do because da internet

>>7902774
>memelord

HAHAHA

>>7902763

>>7902835

In my mind fashion is when you wear stuff that looks good, not caring about all this "make a statement" kinda shit

>>7902753
any statement it made was just made up by people on /mu/ and vaporwave isn't some crazy new thing either, its just the next logical progression of experimental music. Oneohtrix Point Never did "vaporwave" before Macintosh Plus, and does it 1000x better, his new album from last year R Plus Seven is great if you like that stuff. I don't like any of the dumb statements that go behind the genre, and this normcore thing seems to be annoying in the same way, things like this would be alright if the self aware aspect of it didnt make people sound like pretentious assholes. Its the equivalent of us running around in fedoras, calling it fedoracore, but I guess people do also do that, and it just makes everyone involved look like an idiot. Im not all 'no fun allowed', but if you're going to do 'normcore' or listen to 'vaporwave' at least just do it because its fun and dont try to derive some deeper meaning from it

>>7902839
Name?

>>7902842
she's an american apparel model. google and you'll find an imgur link and probably a name somewhere

>>7902840

tru dat...the funny thing is, it's not normal, it was normal in 1992, you wont see these people dressing like regular suburban people in 2014.

>>7902839
I'm gay but I'm going to fap to this anyways.

What's wrong with me?

>>7902851
It's called the Kinsey scale

>>7902839
It's so sexy because you know they're not wearing bra and panties under that

>>7902839

im afraid to ask what normcore is

>>7902551
Normcore is a whack excuse to dress like shit and call it style.

More like butthurt weeaboo, Japanese streetwear enthusiast detected. Stay norm.

>>7903708
even worse.

enjoy your newfound plebness while the rest of us /fa/ggits bask in the light of glorious normcore

>>7903519
it's not really even a style, since it changes over time along with trends

>>7903756
it's funny how hard you guys will hop onto new trends (without actually wearing any of the pieces)

what style were you all about last month? last week? what about before you had breakfast?

>>7902551
I'd throw my spear at the Amazonian to the left.

>>7903756
Goddamn I hate trendhopping retards like you.

>ironically dressing like shit
Nope, not my taste.

>>7903785
normally not into blacks but damn, she tall and qt- also, that fucking hair doe

>>7903869
>normally not into blacks
She is attractive because she has mostly white features. Minorities are only attractive when they have these white features.

>>7903877
why are they "white features"?

>>7903877
ok nerd

>>7903877
>This is what /pol/tards actually believe
>hurr attractiveness is a white feature
Go to bed.

>>7903877
>people can only be attractive when the have semblance to white people
This is the kind of thing a shut in would say. It's as if you've never seen ugly white people and attractive nonwhites. Go outside, jerk off a little less, and meet some people.

>>7903846
But it's not meant ironically.

What I find funny is all the fuccbois screaming bloody murder because their reign of sikk drapes and gay jeggings is coming to an end.

>>7903877
topkek

>>7903877
honestly the only "white features" I can think of are colored eyes and having fucked up noses

>>7903908
Hint: Ugly white people have the features of minorities.

>>7903914
But normcore isn't fashion.
I don't even say that because it's shit (it is), one of the main points of norm core is not caring about fashion at all.

This is supposed to be a fashion board, we therefore should stop talking about normcore.

>>7903896
>>7903908
>>7903915
>>7903916
Niggers spotted. You're probably also the fuccbois who defend your shitty fits against new trends.

>>7903877
As a white guy I would never date a black girl. I find them unattractive and I can do better than that. This doesn't mean that I am racist, it means that I have my own taste, and you have to respect that.

>>7903927
>I am white therefore I can do better than a black girl
>I'm not racist though

>>7903932
As a white girl, I would never date and Asian guy. I find them unattractive and I can do better than tat. This doesn't mean that I am racist, it means that I have my own preferences and you must respect that. Thanks.

>>7903932
Hook line sinker

>>7903925
I bet you look like the kid from Gummo and think being white still makes you attractive.

>>7903941
>>7903927
"better than that"
preference is fine... thinking you are "better" than a race is racist and laughable

>>7903925
this gets me
racism holds you back - if you hate black people keep it inside
your never going to get anywhere and you'll always be basic with that mindset
let go mate just cheer up and remember you aren't different from anyone else

>>7903996
I am very different

Not better but different. You're fucking lying to yourself if you say everyone is the same

>>7904006
Chill but I disagree
you, like most people, aren't important to most other people
you will die
you won't be remembered
best you can do is live happy and make others happy with you

>>7902573

beside vaporwave i can relate normcore to hype williams

>>7902551
>why are people taking it seriously?
Because there are pictures of hot girls wearing it. That's literally it. Take pictures of hot girls wearing anything and fuccbois will endorse it.

>>7902679
who dis

>>7903996
not that poster but there's a reason even black people love mixed black girls and somalians and ethiopians more than say, sudanese women

>>7904102
did you mean to respond to me?

if so I agree - but its not universal
"mixed black girls" aren't the worldwide ideal, they aren't inherently or universally more desirable than a sudanese woman

>>7904110
yeah i did

>"mixed black girls" aren't the worldwide ideal
lol they are tho
media consumption proves it
pretty much all factions be them plebs or tastemakers prefer mixed ones on a large scale

>they aren't inherently or universally more desirable than a sudanese woman
what does inherently mean
what does universally mean
not taking what humans actually do into account? well who fucking cares then what some theoretical nonhuman entity would think of their attractiveness as humans?
we're talking about what black and nonblack men in practice want
if you want to mathematically prove they're more beautiful or some shit it's not gonna happen but you can sure as shit prove they're more desirable because they're flat out more desired by other ppl

>mfw I know the black girls IRL and she has another really hot half black friend

>>7902839
>her elbows are too pointy

>>7904132
you must be trying to ruse me
>media comsumption proves it
in china, the most populous area, half of households don't have a TV! you reckon the ideal in china is a mixed race black woman?
fuck off son thats all kinds of stupid

He's an Amerifat, he thinks his country = entire world.

>>7902753
James Ferraro was the first to create vaporwave, he just didn't know it at the time. Plus, he's actually a talented artist.

>>7903914

Just because it's not meant to be ironic doesn't mean it isn't.

That one kid's comment is very ironic, "I don't want to make a statement through my clothes" By making a statement through his clothes! DOYYYYYEEEEE

>>7902551
i swear the girl on the right goes to my school

>>7904204
you must be stupid
i'm not saying mixed black women are the TOP IDEAL of all races or w e i'm saying they are preferred over black women
you don't need to know what kind of tv they watch
rural people in china will likely hold more a reserved mix of somewhat modern chinese ideals and traditional chinese ideals
so yea they would prefer mixed black women for sure because chinese in general idealize light skin small noses and mouths and smooth hair

>>7904633

what her name?

It's not a "real" thing, don't let the hipsters fool you.

>>7904704
maisie but i dont think its actually her, they just look crazy similar

It's the opposite of hipster. That's like the whole point nigga.

>>7904724

post a pic

>>7904772
>It's the opposite of hipster.
No, it's not. Hipsters have loved to dress like they're in the 90s for a while. Normcore isn't really dressy like "normal" people of this era so it's not the opposite of a hipster.

>>7904772

LOL no it's pure hipster...

>>7904802
It is like Grunge was the opposite of Hair Metal. It's a reaction to and a rebellion against the current status quo.

>>7904802

Instead of spouting crap about "normcore" can someone please give me sauce on the black chick on the left ?

>>7904874
Instead of being a faggot, try reading the thread.

>asking /fa/ about fashion

If its good, people will say its shit. This shows you that the fashion piece elicits an emotional response, which is always good.

Basically, we Axel Foley now? I can deal.

>>7902771
I just want to lick her armpits dry

>>7902854
I learned a new thing today.

What's the difference between normcore and basic bitch/minimalism?

Is normcore actually dressing like shit? Like bad fitting stuff and terrible color combinations?

>lets dress up as average people
>but we don't want to feel as average people because average people are boring
>I know, lets invent a new buzzword for us

This. Shit reminds me of the whole "just kidding" autistic fashion that was all over vice and shit like that like 6-7 years ago

i cant stop staring at the op pic

>>7902763
>Why don't girls wear body suits IRL?
Because you only care about them when a very hot girl is wearing it. Most of them women you meet are not fit to be models so you are not going to be excited to see them in these suits.

Just keep looking at pictures of women who are disgusted by you.

>>7905053

no you just have no reading comprehension
you responded to this

it's a given i'm saying they're more desirable than black women, not the most desirable
