Clothing for the bass generation?

Can't I wear Hawaiian shirts and flip-flops and rock the bass generation with my taste in music alone?

Keep the music before fashion...always!

Peace and Much Love.

No you MUST own a hoodie from stussy or some other similiar with all kinds of crazy colours and random patterns and shit. The more it fucks with your eyes the better.

Get those flip flops into the "What sneakers are you wearing?" thread now.

Seriously... We need some more in there who dont wear huge lairy hip hop trainers.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm a bass theorist from Mongolia who loves wearing his yak hide mukaluks. Why is that not rockin' it?

Sounds like Rusko to me

You could just wear what you want and not give a fuck what fashion is.

I'm glad I found this thread.

I just wear what I want. I don't give a fucking shite if I look like a tramp or not. (I do.)

This is why I hate going to most clubs in the middle of London. Trousers and a pair of shoes? How the fuck am I supposed to dance in that?

Do one, you tnuc.

Word. I got dragged to some place on Shaftsbury Avenue a few weeks ago... I was sat waiting for my girlfriend to get ready when she comes out of the bedroom saying:

"Why aren't you ready/changed"

"I am ready."

"No, you need to wear shoes/trousers."

"You mean I need to wear my work clothes to go out dancing?"

Ridiculous. Do they think that people in Ben Sherman shirts and Base shoes don't go around starting fights with each other or something?

You know if dubstep had some type of universal trendy fashion it would probably be HUGE. Mainstream even. But I kind of like the come as you are attitude. I am the anti-fashion statement. The timeless jeans and t-shirt does me just fine.

It begs the question of whether or not dubstep could be fashioned and marketed as a brand in the same way that hip hop, punk rock and other musical styles have been. It's interesting; different styles of music elicit different subcultures, and at least from a West Coast perspective, the dubstep scene has the potential to flourish as both a mainstream brand of music and as a subculture. It's becoming more than just an offshoot of the broader rave scene; people who I thought would never be caught dead listening to electronic music are appreciating and embracing the dubstep sound in a wholly original way.

There is obviously something special and unique about this style of music, but at least from an anti-mainstream perspective, its a cause for concern. The reason I started this thread was because of a distaste of the potential marketing schemes using dubstep to sell shit that we don't even need, not to mention to sell a lifestyle that doesn't even exist (like say companies who try to advertise the "hip-hop lifestyle" to sell me their next brand of cell phones or sweatshirts). I'm not saying this isn't happening now (I know in England at least, dubstep is way more commercialized there than it is in California... but correct me if I'm wrong).

BUT I PLEAD, keep the shows, raves, events, whatever, inclusive... no one should be left out of the cold when it comes to experiencing some bass therapy goodness. I remember going to punk shows when I was younger and just being surrounded by shit-talkers who were more concerned on whether or not any said person was "punk" enough. There is no "dubstep" enough and there never should be.

/more ranting, thanks for reading

Peace

Apart from under 18s? If you want to hear some dubstep you pretty much need to be 18+ or have a damn good fake id.
