Like all of this things listed were cheap and anti-fashion at the time.
Time, maybe for some things but chucking on a pair of docs and a jacket isn’t time consuming, a Mohawk could be but you don’t style them every day. &tc.
Back then and today workwear is where it's at. Not reflective vest type of workwear, this kind of stuff. Comfy, durable, cut that prioritises function but doesn't ignore style (maybe unsurprisingly companies like it when their employees have a bit of drip), and unless the company sold out to fashion you're not paying extra for the brand (unless it's Engelbert-Strauss which is construction site Gucci. I mean it's still solid and functional it's just not worth the premium). Also available without cargo pockets if you insist, look for companies catering more towards service jobs than the trades.
Pretty much only downside is the lack of colour options. Be careful when thinking about dying stuff many synthetics don't dye well or at all, even when the fabric is pure cotton the thread is definitely polyester. Or even silica.
He was on my Southwest flight to LAX in 2001 and there was a palpable buzz among the pax.
Then ran into him while we were waiting for our rides at the white zone, which is for loading and unloading only.
I presented him with a super tacky giant gold coat button I had just found at a payphone as if it was an achievement award, and had a fun quick chat. Lovely and delightful guy.
When I met him, we had some absurd questions during the audience participation part. My friend asked, "suburban Baltimore is such an interesting backdrop for a movie. Both mundane and interesting. As a young black artist in America, I'd like to know what you think about lowriders."
My other friend had him sign her maxipad wrapper. This friend also happens to be the nice of Patsy from Ab Fab.
For those who aren’t familiar - CCC is the chaos computer club, they have lots of talks and events all about tech, politics, intel, hacking/security, etc.
I believe that’s the origin of “tits or GTFO” came from too, a cringey way of saying that they don’t care if your a girl if you say something dumb online. Though predictably it morphed into incel taunts and male chauvinist bullshit once the meaning was lost.
That, or a fursuit! There's definitely a current aesthetic imo, but obviously it's a generalization that not everyone fits, as has always been the case.
to be fair, while not much of a hacker since the days when you could just open windows and delete the password, most of my casual wardrobe could pass for 'cozy pyjama party matrix cosplay'.
A dude in a full Fox fursuit is the face behind the string of shutdowns that slowed the nation to a halt. I can see it now, FBI dragging the poor guy out of his room, knocking over models and plushies off his desk as he struggles to get his message out to the public.
