I can understand that, and have done that myself... but thats just a generalization of some posters there. But Vo...er, Corbera said non-conformity, and I was just curious to whom we were not conforming too.
Im not stirring ****, Im really genuinely curious.
WAYW is filled with guys deliberately wearing unusual stuff/odd pairings in the name of personal style. That effort to stand out from the crowd is pretty much the definition of nonconformity, no?
I suspect part of the problem is that there's so little to conform to these days. There's an absence of outside influence to hold our baser desires in check, or at least to use as a baseline for reference. Who isn't a nonconformist these days?
It's a tough balancing act. After all, most guys join SF precisely because they don't want to dress like everyone else. But ultimately the goal has to become more specific than that. And that's hard.
