Random: FASHIONABLE VS. MAINSTREAMER

Fashion was once just a word for those who can afford - the bourgeois and the elites. When the industrial revolution came, everything changed; almost everyone can already afford the most fashionable clothes they want to have. And this was also the time when fashion hit the mainstream until now. We are all oriented with the idea that “fashion is comfort” and I will always agree on this. But when we say comfort, what does that really mean to you?

Comfort according to the Webster’s dictionary, it is to feel less worried, upset, frightened etc. This is always true, and for me, there are two types of comfort – the Physical Comfort and the Psychological Comfort. Well unfortunately, people's understanding on comfort these days gone wrong. Most people are already focusing on the physical comfort and when I say most, I mean the MAINSTREAMERS.

Physical comfort from the word itself physical, it is always about how you feel on the outside. In fashion, it is always about the tightness of the clothes, how the clothes fit with the climate of a certain place, the color matching and the design. It is always about the five senses. And this is what the mainstreamers have understood about fashion. 

Psychological comfort is all about how you feel when you’re wearing something - WEIRD OR NOT. If you are a real fashion enthusiast, you will never think how people will judge you with what you are wearing as long as it will make you feel good. You will not even care if you are wearing the cheapest clothing line or the weirdest styles as long as you are happy with what you are wearing.

Someone who is pretending to be a fashion enthusiast judge everybody’s fashion. He will stare at you from head to toe and criticize your uniqueness. For example, you are wearing a black crop top, matched with floral jumpers and a black leather boots. Sounds cool right? But those motherfucker mainstreamers pretending to be fashionable will always laugh at that idea and they will judge you for being weird, out of style or old fashioned.

To end this ranting, all I can say is you should wear whatever you want to wear. Never care on how people will judge you because those people are just asshole mainstreamers. They were made to be brainless, they’re all dumb! And they are just carbon copies. Be proud for being different, BECAUSE INDIFFERENCE IS UNIQUENESS.
