Is Techwear dead? Anonymous Mon Mar 27 11:08:22 2017 No.12350468 [Reply] [Original]

Techwear never took off as much as I expected. Now it seems kind of dead even. Any opinions? I've been wearing tech stuff for like 3 years on and off and I feel it never evolved as much as it could have

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 27 11:13:44 2017 No.12350472 Who cares? I personally think it's better for it to not hit mainstream as much, because I like feeling like an unique special fashion snowflake in order to compensate for the void within.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 27 11:14:21 2017 No.12350473 It's not dead; I don't think it was ever that active. But, people on here still make threads now and then.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 27 11:14:40 2017 No.12350474 >>12350472 This is kinda true, if techwear is what you like keep on wearing it to stand out.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 27 11:16:47 2017 No.12350481 >>12350472 agree with it not hitting real mainstream isnt a bad thing, it's just difficult to get new stuff as it feels like a lot of people have kind of abandoned it

Techwear fags consistently on suicide watch off F/W since the only reason to wear GoreTex in S/S is to whore yourself on IG

It did evolve and its still up, but now more appealable to normies cause lul nike X acronym.blame the same posters with the same C.E/ACRONYM/EYESANDSINS/NIKE fits 24/7 which resulted in

a.literally turned into a meme where they completely stopped posting on SUFU, killing 1/3 of activity becayse they got exposed
b.SUFU made a separate SUPERTECHWEAR board
c.resell value on grailed is threefold

It simply wasn't useful enough or cool-looking enough to justify its inflated price.

When you get down to it, techwear is mostly just streetwear/sportswear that's marginally more comfortable/durable than the cheap stuff but looks just as goofy.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 27 11:38:07 2017 No.12350516 techwear's not dead, it's just that most techwear fits feel uncomfortable and look out of place unless it's raining or you live somewhere with a lot of fog.

It never took off because its schoolshooter faggot gear that nobody would wear in public, it also died because of the lame ass reasons you tards tried to create around WHY someone should wear it.

techwear peaked into a bunch of manlets wearing """designer"""" garbage bags with too many straps on them

now the style is associated with tacticool urban ninjas in baggy shit and post punk cross fits when it was supposed to be about utility and comfort meeting unobtrusive aesthetic. Most """tech""""wear is obnoxious

techwear is fucking kill. fuccbois took it and destroyed it and they all look the same now. I like it when it was kinda mixed with streetwear and kinda more experimental and almost had a theme to each fit.

total failure of imagination imo, and groupthought into oblivion. the ideas behind it are interesting but the fact that it developed a $1.5k uniform you had to wear to be considered #techwear #acrhive took it from being something that could have been an interesting way to consider clothing to another boring flex. no different than being a new money kid posting pics in vetements and gosha.

for all the jerking off over akira and ghost in the shell and gibson they do no one in techwear really goes for what clothing in that future might actually be. not for the elite ninja hackers, for the normal people. THAT might be something to explore (gibson lays it all out for you in neuromancer w the panther moderns ffs) and labels like cav empt and cassette playa (rip) do relatively interesting jobs, but that's never integrated. all black with jackets? that's the best you can do?

errolson posting pictures of his hot model gf on instagram made me realize that it's all a virgin teen fantasy these people never got over and that's all it's ever going to be. shot through with insecurity about being "into fashion" as an adult male as well. no see guys, this jacket isn't gay, it's got taped seams! it's f u n c t i o n a l . and an "escape zip" for the fucking absurd notion that an acronym hobbyist would find themselves in a situation where they needed to shed their coat to escape some mortal danger. it cost 1.5k for a reason! i'm into extremely hetero science fiction it's fine it's fine #acrhive straight as hell.

fuck you guys, techwear is not dead!

But really I never got into those high priced technical shell. Basically I just own a few y-3 and wear them pretty casually or mix them with other more normal or even military-type clothing.

I am either in Seattle, Hong Kong, or China so even if I wanted too I could suit up in more outlandish fits.
