Yes, the round bit of a t-shirt that your head goes through. I thought it was a faulty garment but they were all like that. A bit like this one but more pronounced
I guess but this totally over the top shredded garment thing annoys me because the garments won't last very long so it's wasteful (God I really sound like an old biddy now) and it seems to come from a place of privilege like I'm not living rough but I'll pretend like I do - like Marie Antoinette playing at being a peasant
I know what you mean. It was the same with the grunge and hip-hop styles back in the 90s, and with the punks before that. Mostly well-off kids play-acting at being poor. I dunno how far it goes back.
Also, embrace your inner biddy. I have. And while we're complaining about waste, how about the way people go through mobile phones these days?
There's nothing more pathetic than someone who gets the latest iphone the day it comes out when they've already got a dozen other iphones in some drawer at home, the jerks. OH, this one's bigger/golder/so fucking stupid it doesn't have any headphone jack
It's going to be interesting to see what happens with apple if they lose their cult following. They might be "the richest company in history" (how do they measure that? What about the British East India Company? Didn't they control half a continent? How does that compare after adjusting for inflation?), but unlike Microsoft, they don't have their hooks deep down in the business world. If the shine comes or their name as a premium consumer brand, what then? And I don't think this decision with the headphone jack is helping their cause any. Especially not after that rubbish with the watch and the wanky laptop touch-bar.

Yes, what is with that? So dorky it's not funny
I don't get it either. Is it like ripping the legs in your jeans or something?
I dunno. Then there's the shirt with the neck hole half-attached (also a thing)
I'm having trouble imagining a hole being half-attached, Squib. You mean, the collar's hanging off? I haven't seen that, but it sounds ridiculous.

That shirt looks like the silverfish have been at it. And I notice she also has one of the knees ripped out of her jeans.
yep, what a dork
Isn't that the essence of fashion though: wear something dorky, act like it's cool, hope other people buy the act, profit?

I don't mind grunge. This is more like they've been torn apart by Godzilla
True.
