Hmmm...
Yep,

I went to Top Man in the summer,and a couple of similar shops, and I hated the clothes. The fashion has regressed back to stuff I seen people wearing when I was a kid (1980's stuff), which basically to my eyes looks like an explosion in a paint factory.

A fair amount of people don't see it as a phase, and choose to "look kvlt" down to their own personal choice. The people that allege to have "grown out of it" don't have the balls to carry the look of "being metal" anymore, and choose to bow down to convention. Liking the music for many is a way of life, and is far more than a music taste. I prefer being the way I am, than being some idenitkit moron like a Chav.

I also hate the fact that people "trend out" because they can't get a job. I know people that are into their metal, and dress that way, have the obligatory long hair, and hold down decent jobs (IT Manager, Assistant Bank Manager, Business Analyst, and a few in Clerical work), thus making that theory utter bullshit.

We like being this way. And if people don't like it, tough shit. It's called variety.
