Is this forum really "streetwear"?

If we were all wearing this, would you feel better about calling it a streetwear forum?

Something seems to be missing but I can't quite put my finger on it...

guess what, people wear streetwear that isn't saggy jeans, graphic tees, allover print hoodies, dunks, and flannel.

Although about the flannel part I'm not completely sure...

What's up with that?


Translation: The streetwear seen in this forum does not coincide with my definition of streetwear and therefore I believe the name should be changed.

Retort: Fashion is as subjective as music or art, streetwear is an umbrella for a wide variety of styles worn on the street, what you constitute as streetwear seems to be different to what others constitute as streetwear, though neither views are wrong. I would suggest against trying to push your style and conceived notions of streetwear onto us and instead try to accept the first part of this paragraph. If you're not a fan of the culture and tastes found here, go somewhere else.

Yes, it's more designer sportswear. No, nobody cares.

I'd revise that slightly to "JCrewTailoredLikeBOOforum."
