I used to never really care about fashion. Felt like a stupid status symbol. But I once went to a big city in east asia, and I was impressed by how nicely everybody dressed. Everybody felt like they complemented the environment, and I felt like I stook out like a sore thumb.

I feel like that's an underappreciated side of fashion. Dressing up to fit the environment, to avoid ruining overall aesthetics. It's less about the individual, more about the community. In this asian city I also noticed that people weren't as loud and disruptive in public spaces. It feels like the same concept. You try not to make loud noises to disturb others, and you try not to dress so badly as to clash with the environment.

It really feels like a cultural difference between the east and west, and I feel like the west could learn a bit from the east here.

So if you're going to a fine dining restaurant with ornate decor and chandeliers, dress up in fancy clothes. If you're just walking around a popular spot in the city, casual is fine but look at how people are dressed around you and try not to clash. The goal isn't to look amazing and draw attention, the goal is to avoid looking out-of-place.

I remember parts of this show being oddly dark. I'd watch a reboot that was all about America declining but with dinosaurs.

This Twitter channel is pretty racist btw.

All of western history people cared about how they look.

Now people just go out wearing some advertisement for some stupid company.

Self respect and respect for the community is gone.

Why do 'Murican "car guys" make owning a car (well, the finance company really owns it) their whole personality?

It's a car

Like dickheads who wear Harley clothing to advertise the fact that they're afraid of going around corners and desperately need attention

One thing that always surprises me in the US is the sneaker obsession. Especially NY. I'll see well dressed people in a suit and then goofy ass sneakers. Looks awful.
