Carabiners on pants

[Anonymous No.12965549]

Why is this trend suddenly so popular? Is it even functional or just done by "muh fashunn" people to look cool.

Thoughts?

I think it started as a skater thing, to make sure you don't drop your keys while riding your skateboard.

I feel like with Van's becoming really popular lately, it might be the same for other types of skating-related fashion.

Why are people acting like this is somehow functional? I used to wear my keys like that, but as soon as you have more than one or two keys it get's really annoying because it rattles around when you walk. Also you need to remove the hook every time you need to use the keys.

[Anonymous No.12965889]

>>12965882
i think and hope they mean functional because skinny jeans are popular and fucking phones can barely fit in the pockets let alone multiple keys. As far as the jingling goes it's obnoxious as fuck at leave put them in a coat pocket when you walk ro something. But they really are functional in a sense of "getting them outta the way" by just clipping them when you're at your desk at school for example.

I have too many keys to keep in my pocket without it looking like shit.

Because I keep a variety of shit on my keyring, bottle cap opener, file, etc. Would tear holes in my pants pocket. I like the jingle, lets people know I am coming which works great since I am a schoolteacher.

It's convenient so you don't have to dig through your pockets for five minutes trying to take out your keys that sometimes get stuck on the material. Putting it in your backpocket is uncomfortable and easy for someone to sneak up behind you and steal it (that's my paranoia.) I don't think this was intentionally for fashion purposes, it was on the lines of convenience since now, you have to carry your phone, wallet, and for some people now, vapes

I grew up in the """""""""""""scene""""""""""" and everybody did that
When you're wearing skinny jeans your keys don't really fit in the front pocket without fucking up the silhouette so that's the origin I think

[Anonymous No.12968296]

>>12965889
I think that's why it became popular initially. Pocket bulges look really bad. That was back in the early 2000's though, so don't act like this is something new.

you must be new to fashion. look, I'm sorry it just arrived in your laggard muslim country but this has been a thing in fashion for 5 years. maybe if your people stopped worshipping allah and obsessing over faggy music and soccer, maybe you would've caught on by now

[Anonymous No.12969301]

>>12966402
why is being loud not functional? it's a drawback sure, but not excessive enough to not do it
clipping them on your belt makes them ready and easy to grab if you're getting in and out of your car often, and also keeps you from putting them in your pocket, which can be uncomfortable when sitting and also keeps the keys from Samsung whatever else might be in there

[Anonymous No.12969318]

I have had my keys on a carabiner since high school (graduated ten years ago, newfags) and I put mine on my 4 or 5 o'clock belt loop so I can tuck it in to my back pocket. Keeps my keys from scratching up my phone and doesn't jangle either. It's fucking simple.

1) your location is a big determinant in how many trends cycle in and out
2) the trends you recognize at 12 or 13 aren't the same ones a guy in his late 20s might know about. I'm not saying you're underage. I'm just saying the carabiner thing is marketed differently to different people

>the current trend
you are so fucking retarded holy shit how do you even function
if crust patch jeans become a trend and mainstream thing due to some fashion house making the decision of featuring them on runway and then h&m other fast fashion companies copying them you pointing a finger at crust punks just makes you look like a fucking tool
yeah, that's where it started but it's not the reason for the trend and the crust jawnz becoming a hip thing, it's the brand introducing them on runway setting and pushing it as a thing that makes them hip
does any of this make any sense to you?

and that is to say it's fucking obvious to everyone that someone has been doing it for long time, hence why I earlier pointed out you can trace carabiners as key rings for god knows how far back, basically someone in to some even more obscure sub-culture could march in to the thread and point out how it was done by group x before the punks and posting a youtube video like you did but he would be just as wrong as you are

My roommates did this and you could always hear him jingling around. Dunno how 'convenient' it can be when it literally takes 1 second to take your keys out of your pocket. I guess it would make sense if you're CONSTANTLY locking and unlocking stuff, but then you might as well get one of those extendible keychains with the chord

One reason why it may be being popularized is because more and more young people are diagnosed with ADD than ever before. I know whenever I was diagnosed my shrink told be to keep my keys on a carabiner, utilize sticky notes & journals more often, etc. I feel like it’s a common thing doctors tell people like this.
