>>4192831i think between us, you seem the desperate one. going on and on as if you need everyone to know how opinionated and discerning you are. it only works against you, because you are an out of touch boomer. you might get by on a board like p where anon can be blindered by specs and name drops but anyone who has felt something like passion about fashion or style can see right through the flimsy hierarchy you have cynically constructed. you seem to view it as competition, as status signalling, which is the emptiest, most plebeian conception. even those of us who have merely dabbled can spot it instantly
you try to deride fashion cliques but don't back it up very well. it just comes off like sour grapes. plus imo if you can have a circle of people who like the same thing you do, this leads to formation of community, which is just about the most powerful thing art/culture can do. it doesn't always happen like that, but if you can find your people just by buying your favorite clothes, i think that's the opposite of victimhood. like most ideologues on this board, you have smooth rhetoric but the irrelevancy of the narrative becomes obvious once the reader has spent any amount of time irl
