Please Stop Forcing the 80's On Me!
I grew up in the 80’s. It was fun, I get it. I love the music, and the movies. It was awesome. But why is everyone trying to make me think fluorescent clothes are cool again?
I realize that every designer in the industry grew up in the 80’s, and it holds fond memories for us. So it’s fun for you to make all of this “retro” stuff, but come on already, have we had enough of the 80’s resurgence yet?
I’m kind of over it. There are a lot of talented people in this industry, and it would be great to see some forward thinking instead of blatant trend following. Most of us that fell into this lifestyle are pretty unique individuals, and a lot of us actually like to feel like we are going against the trends, so please stop trying to make us all think we should wear this 80’s fluoro crap. We’re not buying into it.
It would be cool to see what’s next, and this time it would be great if everybody’s products didn’t look exactly the same.

I’m just waiting for shoulder pads to make a resurgence because I think buffed out shoulders are hot. (especially on surfers)
but actually I agree…it is time for the trend setters to become just that…let’s see some creativity !!!
