Geek trend

Hipster glasses and shizzle? I think what actually pisses people off is people dressing to try and give the impression that they are a geek or an artist for attention or to appear 'intelligent, troubled and deep' whilst remaining fashionable, pretentious fucks. The real artists and geniuses are still socially marginalised... But geek is slowly becoming more popular, and the individual introverted types are slowly becoming appreciated. Characters with traits of autism ate very popular in anime for example.

People should stop trying to wear things on the sole premise of being percieved as something they are not or following trends. Wear what you actually FUCKING LIKE! You will look good if you feel good. But this obsession women have in particular with followin trends pisses me off to no end. Wear geek glasses if you actually need them or like them.

when i was in high school (late 90s) it wasn't the geek look it was just the douche "intellectual" look. i remember my pre-hipster friend telling me me i should have picked glasses with smaller lenses because they'd "look better". i remember being so cunty and condescending when i explained that i wasn't wearing the stupid things to look good, i needed them to see, and "seeing" involves being able to view more than a nickle-sized dot. i then also explained to him that due to terrible nearsightedness i have to get ultra thin lenses so i don't look like i have beady little eyes with the 2 inch thick lenses, and you can only get certain frames if you need the thin lenses, so half the options are off the table from get go. there were like 10 frames for me to choose from at the time.

when you don't have the luxury of just whimsically tossing your glasses aside because you need them to fucking see, they are not so glamorous. they get dirty and foggy and greasy, the nose pads get nasty, sometimes they make a reflective glare, if they get crooked they give you a headache and hurt your ears, they are expensive to keep scratch free, you can't just throw on sunglasses when the sun is in your eyes, and they fucking suck. anyone wearing them for the fun of it is a pretentious cunt. what's next? faux hearing aids with fucking fedoras painted on them? a tattooed-on throat stoma? ironic forearm crutches? what the fuck?

no but really fashion and fashion styles just keep going in a continuous circle..so really everything has already been out before
, theres more then the little black dress that is a staple. there are some trends that look really hot and some that arent right now i think the trends are really comming from asia but thats just my point of view its all about this awkward , cutesy nerdy look. or a really glamours like 50s look, also boho has been in for like 2 years now , eh it all comes in goes

I'm working on it right now actually,
My beard is trimmed, but I haven't cut my hair in months. I was the short hair of our group for so long, worked in sales for a bit so I had to be smooth and kept my hair high and tight. Now when people see me they either don't immediately recognize or they get that squinty look.

According to the Aztecs and Mayans it should take half as long as the last "trend" took to die. So like 18 more days or whatever.

Sure they did.
Look up the Dresden Codex.
Aztecs predict all sorts of stuff.
They knew the actual land mass of Antarctica 4000 years before we developed a satellite that could obtain the same data.
