People complained about lack of runway threads even back then.

There were more trips

The considerable amount of posters were into menswear, and another were fanatically into Rick Owens

Some people took lunarcore seriously

Daily Tumblr threads

Endless Raf Simons posting throughout 2015

SLP became big at the end of 2015

The must have shoes were: Nike Janoski, then came Nike Roshe run, after those came Nike AF1, and after them came Adidas Stan Smith at the beggining of 2015

All in all; 2015 was the best year IMO, so much things happening, new memes we have today started to emerge, and the old one havent died yet.

open your eyes fuckface, this board (especially the dreaded WAYWT general) is filled to the brim with people who wouldn't be taken seriously as adults if they wore 3/4s of the shit they showcase here in public

there comes a point where you have to just grow up and sell your alexander wang, yeezys and rick owens crap (which is for wide-eyed teenagers in the first place) in exchange for brooks brothers and j brand if you want to be taken seriously. that's the one thing r/mfa understands: good quality classics always look better.

I still remember when this trunks pic started getting circulated lol
I also remember him posting alot of weird fits out on his family's porch in the country

What ever happened to Trunks? And Knoch? And Spacejew?

>> No.12832616

first of all let's get this straight, /fa/ was never good.

been browsing on and off since 2010, as well as other fashion forums.

the biggest difference is by far just general fashion trends. the predominant style on /fa/ used to be mostly dark gothwear and streetwear shit, rick owens and the like was popular though most users could never afford it. lot of people settled for things like just wearing "streetwear", basically the shit that used to rake in millions of +rep on Superfuture.

the styles these days seem to be really, really heavily based on like, soundcloud rappers and for some reason mac demarco looking shit, even though I'm sure he's not that popular, for some reason his clothes became popular by way of this stupid "normcore" meme which imo has overstayed its welcome.

very few regular posters on /fa/ could dress well, even the more infamous ones couldn't dress well. those regular posters also usually crossposted to other fashion forums, if you came to /fa/ to find good fits you were an idiot basically. same case today. WAYWT here has always had mostly trash fits and mostly trash criticism, imo they are the most pointless threads here.

/fa/ is kind of a board for shitposting, venting, and memes and always has been. serious fashion discussion isn't really present here very much and the format of the board makes it hard to do.

just like today everyone is super biased towards their own personal tastes and super toxic about anything that they don't like.

old /fa/ was pretty terrible honestly. nu /fa/ is still really bad but at least you don't have Trunks around any more. that guy was basically a living, walking meme.

I know some people who met him in real life, he's apparently super fucking awkward + creepy and smells like BO.

>> No.12832627

>>12832616

one good thing about nu-/fa/ is that hyper-toxic brand mentality seems to be less common.

back in the day people would flame the shit out of you for wearing vans, converse, or any other cheap brand. it probably still happens but I think the rising popularity of shit like vans old skools kind of quelled most of it.

>> No.12832660

Peacoat and skinny jeans for days

>> No.12832667

Also, to be honest, at a certain point you realize most of the people posting on fashion boards, and especially this one, are not cool people and it has nothing to do with their clothing.

The toxicity and attitudes you see online combined with the "cool" clothes make you want to get the approval of these people. I think this sort of attitude about streetwear originates mostly from places like Superfuture, and kind of bled elsewhere over time. If you've ever actually met any of these people in real life though you quickly realize that not only are they toxic assholes on the internet, they're also fucking lame and fit of their jeans and price of their shoes don't fucking matter because they just look lame because they are lame people.

You ever met a Sufu user in real life? They're basically really lame asians in their mid 20's with the attitude and behavior of a highschool student. Some of them do look cool at a distance, but if you ever talk to them whatever mystique they had fades away immediately as you realize they're basically angry judgmental manchildren dressing like anime they watched as kids

The types of people who post and browse these boards every day are usually shitty people, hyper-obsessed with approval and attention. You'll see this everywhere, including "nice" boards like care-tags where the users only act nice + friendly on the surface, and in actuality they're extremely cliquey, catty and judgmental people who are mostly putting on a facade to try and seem like "cooler" or "better" people than they actually are. If you go to that board you'll probably think it's a hugbox, and it kind of is, but what nobody realizes is that all of the regular posters have private IRC's, forums, and skype groups where they basically shit-talk all the posters who aren't "in the group".

What I'm trying to say is that for whatever reason all fashion forums are filled with toxic, terrible people and I don't think that will ever change, regardless of where you go.

I realised after browsing for years that the best thing you can do in terms of looking good is
1. Working out.
2. Having a personality.

What you wear becomes so much less important as you get older. Having friends, making money and trying to cultivate interests that I can really get good at have completely overrided the fashion interest I had in 2010. Looking back now, I see a sad and very lonely guy who tried to compensate with clothes but ended up having clothes that wore him.

Being one of said cunts I can certify the truth of this. I think the baseline problem is that there isn't really a practice of fashion outside of exhibition/production. One being immensely bad for one's emotional well-being and the other being difficult (yet rewarding). For a while there were threads for people who made things, I have a feeling the clique thing happens even worse in those. Also 4chan is bad for most people, anonimity breeds malicious behavior because there is inherently no reward in doing what is right.

It's kind of bizarre how this board transitioned from fit pics with the face blacked out to face pics where fits do not feature.
I think /soc/ is actually bad for 4chan culture and promotes worthless "/soc/" behaviour on other boards instead of containing it.
They should delete /soc/ and just permit a small amount of meet/chat themed threads on boards.

Up until a few yrs ago, 4chan as a whole IN GENERAL (again there's outliers for both sides)
but the site as a whole, was generally either libertarian, or right learning to various degrees, and occasionally the odd lefty or sjw whining

Over the course of the past 5 yrs the entirety of this site has slowly started becoming more "casual" if you will, with LOTS of regular ppl, or normies or redditors coming over, and bringing with them their SJW lefty mentalities,

sometimes doing raids from leddit or whatever tumblr page they came from, as well as doing stupid "social experiments"
Or subconscious brainwashing
a-la the stupid u mad witeboii and cuckold and wwyd threads and interracial BS threads and propaganda you see everywhere here and subtly in mainstream media

Now personally when I was a kid I was more liberal, then as I got older started becoming more libertarian and as of the past few yrs, do to how cannibalistic the extreme left is, i slowly started becoming more conservative or at the very least right leaning libertarian.

And the reason why is because I, as well as many, have seen this place as well as most of mainstream media become more and more batshit insane

And I think most of the posters on this site now are the very ppl that alot of us hated or wanted to get away from when this site 1st started

It's weird how these things happen..

Left this site in 2014 and came back last yr

And yes everything was much more tongue in cheek, Idk if it was lefty libertarian in 09, seemed like the site was varying degrees of libertarian either left or right leaning, seems like back then it was very dependant on the board you were on /pol/ was very right leaning, where as places like /a/ and eventually /mlp/ were left leaning

Now it seems like this site is entirely unironically SJW left leaning with small bits of libertarian oldfags dissappointed and frustrated that this place turned into Tumblr

Anyways I don't like talking politics cause it's easy to sidetrack a thread with it, but it's very difficult not too when discussing what this site was back in 06-10 to now

Nah, not techninja, but there is overlap. Healthgoth to my understanding is more like taking activewear like adidas trackpants or other sportswear with blatant branding and combining it with dark subculture aesthetics, like goth, metal, industrial, etc. It's more of a repurposing and repackaging of old trends.

Gothninja is more dark techwear, less traditional fits/silhouettes, and it often completely reimagines the activewear elements it uses, rather than repurposing staples. It also usually uses layering more creatively and there's less blatant branding.

I only started browsing 2 years ago but the board wasn't too great back then either. The only thing that really changed is the increase in IS X EFFAY PLS RESPOND BTW IM 16 XD posts. And honestly this type of low self-esteem posts purely stem from the fact that after /b/ and /v/ this probably is the youngest board on 4chan.

Things get cleared if you report. I don think the mod/janitors need to monitor this board closely since it' fairly tame.

Looking at the rest of the thread it seems that /fa/ is in good shape as far as content goes, compared to its previous years. We have a lot of variety. Some goofiness mixed with more serious high fashion or streetwear posts, there's not too much attention whoring. The average age of /fa/ posters makes sense content wise. Maybe if we had more mid 20 somethings the quality would get a big bump.

>The racism used to be tongue in cheek

No, it was always genuine. But what it used to be was casual and a method to root out normies and exclude them.

eg. You say "nigger" and if someone gets upset everyone knows that guy is too soft to be in the sekrit club.

But over time more lefties and softcocks came in and what they do is get upset when you say "nigger" so over time it became less and less casual to where people have stats and charts about race and IQ ready to go.

I'd agree 4chan wasn't conservative, but it wasn't progressive either. It was that you were a fag if you acted political.

I started coming to /fa/ in 2012.

Back then, it was a board comprised mostly of infographics explaining the most basic of male fashion to complete newcomers who just wanted to look "better" for school or to get a qt 3.14 gf. /fa/ at this time was all about recommended oxford shirts, chinos, desert boots, redwing boots. Basically the stuff that we could write off as basic bitch or even mfa shit. The gothninja stuff was there but it was just a thread or two.
People weren't nice or anything but discussion was definitely more productive and I'd say more welcoming to people who just wanted help but weren't invested in higher fashion.

Then one day, overnight I think, this dadcore/dadwear meme hit, with every thread about the old style of basic menswear being mocked as dadcore. It was forced pretty hard but /fa/ scattered at the suggestion that they were suddenly uncool and I suppose either switched to reddit or to the basic style to follow edgy fashion trends. Anyway the gothninja took over for a long while which blurred into streetwear at some point and now we're here.


It was still shit tho, as it is now

>> No.12839724

>>12839705
I actually liked how the whole board wasn't so segregated as it is today. Now there are streatwear, gothninja, lunarcore, sleeze etc threads that stay up for weeks that people just slowly post in. Before, the waywt threads would fill up in less than a day, and you would get people from all different sub groups posting fits giving more constructive critiques from a much wider background.

>> No.12839760

I'm one of maybe like 5 ppl that every so often will make a lunarcore thread
Cause I miss them but like most anons complain it ends up mostly just anons posting the same 20 pics and no one posting fits or even designs, besides me and my doodles.

Back in 2011-2014 there were threads for everyone AND they filled up quickly.
Half the reason why threads like lunarcore stay up for a week now is because it's literally the only thread like it and they hardly come up anymore, so when they do everyone in them tries to slowly bump them once or twice a day to make them last longer

A coincidence that I run to this thread on my first recent 4chan visit in a long time.

Old/peak(2012-2014) /fa/ was generally funny as the personalities and people had sorted themselves into cliques,gimmicks,talents general misery but there was a common thread of passion to posting or lurking here.
I stopped posting here as it got too negative but my life in general was on the upswing that and my computer literally burnt down.

Anyway there was a sense of community that idk is still present here with the ausboys,eurofags,StyleZeitgeist/SuFu cliques Reddit+Caretags Queers

More emphasis on
community
Runway
Images
Inspo
Memes
Skype/tinychat

It was a slow board with a lot of shit(I contributed too throughout my string of trips)
Fuck man,getting a bit nostalgic because the trips were on a similar path in life -except poet who went insane- and had time to inadvertently craft a community,a board no one will be proud of but sure spent time on.

Lazy to go to the archive and repost the pasta "peak /fa/ s/o lamy etc etc"

AND THE ARCHIVE!!! Fuck me if that wasn't used as a ammo stash.It was fun posting here but as time goes on communities fade,friendships break memes decay and the landscape changes(esp with how overtly political the Internet has become)

*German girls never make it past 23

Russian women only turn into basbushkas after 40, unless they're unlucky enough to have turned out babuska-esque during puberty.

Dutch women also age better.
