This Is The Last…

I’ll get right to the point. Lately for whatever stupid reason I’ve been at a couple all age venues and there is always one common trend I see. The kids come in wearing stupid uninteresting hoodies knowing very well that it’s going to be too hot to wear them indoors. Like that matters.

Although hoodies get under my skin I am not such an angry little man that I’d have an actual beef against an article of clothing (at least not out loud). My real aggravation is what they do with the hoodies when the heat gets in the way of their bland Abercrombie look. Instead of setting them down or wrapping them around their waste they wrap the hoodies around their necks like scarves - keep in mind that the scarf resemblance isn’t a coincidence it’s actually meant to look that way. This is stupid for two reasons; first it looks dumb and second it will still make you HOT!

I know what you’re thinking, I sound old. Well I think you should shut up! It’s our responsibility to filter through the debris that makes youth culture look stupid. If there is something that needs to be said don’t use gimmicks to attract your listener - black nail polish, ties with unbuttoned dress shirts, sunglasses indoors or sweaters being worn as scarves. Think about it if you wanted someone to listen to your miraculous cure for the common cold you wouldn’t hold a press conference with a giant banana on your head. Would you? Ok, let’s say you did. You’d probably loose half of the audience you wanted and that audience then gets replaced with monkeys. Is that what you want? A simian comparison? Wake up kids.

As a rule of thumb, if it seems ridiculous it probably is. Furthermore it’s contrived and you’ll probably look like an ass. So in conclusion ugly hoodies make even uglier scarves.

This is probably a great time for a dislcaimer. If you wear hoodies I’m not trying to insult you’re fashion sense. I’m just saying it has sleeves for a reason.
