Although kids do dress too old for their age these days it is much more extreme on TV than in reality.  In my neighborhood the kids look like kids.  But I do know that in most areas this is not the case.  Kids are just growing up too fast, knowing about sex and dressing provocatively at younger ages.  With all the media it's hard to protect them from this.  And if their friends are doing it, no kid wants to be different.  So a parent has to choose their battle.  Your point is well taken but I wouldn't blame the parents.  You can't force kids into anything once they're a certain age or they'll just rebel.  You have to inspire and encourage and help them to make positive choices.

I love these 'a hoodie is only an item of clothing' people. I remember  a while ago, Prince Harry wore a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party and a lot of exactly the same people expressed their outrage that someone could wear something like that. F**king Hypocrites.

Oh if you do a search on google for wild west fashion you'll come up with several facts about clothing during that era.  I had to do this because we had a theme party on this.  Can't recall the sites though so you'll have to search yourself.

I think you are talking about the high fashion world.  It just so happens that we live in a culture where we are bombarded with images of fame and wealth.  People tend to see fashion as a means of connecting to "higher classes", or showing off the class they are in.  This is the reason designers can cater to the wealthy and have so much success making cheaper products for the rest of the consumers.  Jane Celebrity can wear a $10,000 dress from Dior.  Jane Normal can buy some Dior sunglasses for $150 and somehow feel like she's part of that world.  \n\nBut fashion in general is influenced by many things in each culture.  Not all fashion is high fashion.  It can be related to culture/religion, class, societal expectations (ie, here we're expected to cover up), climate, availability of resources, occupation (jeans were first made for sailors, then workers), even politics.  Fashion can be very important.  It has a purpose and conveys a message upon first glance.

I really don't care if people crossdress or not--it it's their thing, then I don't see that I should criticize.  That being said, there are societal norms.  I don't believe those societal norms are always fair, or right, but still they exist and it is expected that people conform to them.  However, crossdressing is pretty harmless, and I think it's a pity that more people aren't tolerant of it.

Hold up! Why has this a problem all of sudden? People were wearing veils ages ago and no one complained then!\n\nNote: I dont wear a veil but I believe everyone has the right to wear what they like as long as it isnt hurting anyone.\n\nAnymore thumbs down?

Trend sometimes means the same as fashion but it is also like "following the trend" as in wearing the latest styles, or fashions. They are both pretty much the same.

I believe it's because they think it looks "cool" or "hip". In reality, they look like fools. They also often claim it makes them "unique". However, it's not unique when everyone is doing it.

What's "cutting edge" is the name....  Same old Amway crap.  These things (like clothing styles) all go in cycles of maybe 20 to 25 years.....  A new crop of suckers....  to be exploited.

It's just a fad.  It will pass.  Then you can make fun of them at your reunion.  At my school, one of my friends started mixing the preppy look with the skater look.  Polo shirt, kaki pants, chain necklace, skater shoes, and a wallet with a chain on it attached to his belt loop.  He was a popular guy trying to make a fashion statement, so noone really bothered him about it.  So I came to school one day in kakis and polo shirt with skater shoes, and a log chain around my neck and a huge log chain on my wallet.  He and everone else looked at me and started laughing.  When He asked me what the hell I was doing, I told him I was just trying to fit in.  He relized how rediculas he looked, and changed back to the way he used to dress.

I think people in the future got sick of silver or white jumpsuits with puffy shoulder pads, so they went on a retro fad.  The problem is they couldn't go retro to *our* era because all our clothes have copyrighted brand names and in the future copyright enforcement is REALLY harsh after the record companies enacted new laws to crack down on people trading music online.\n\nAlso, technically, Star Wars took place "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" so it's not the future and we're copying their bad fashion sense.  Shame on us, no?
