So, alt and punk culture is - because that whole counterculture thing has always had left roots.
However, alt culture has started to go a bit hypebeast crazy - buying clothes that are mad expensive for name brand recognition value.
For me, I have some outfits that I think qualify as Brutalist fashion, if there can be such a thing. Utility fashion. I wear my big manual labour work boots, a sturdy black jacket, then trackies or cargos. It's not meant to be pretty. Just comfy, and useful.
I have another outfit in mind that's a sort of homage to USSR Space Exploration, but it's not fully thought out yet.
Whats some cool lefty fashion stuff? Facts, fits, whatever. Just kinda riff around the subject.
Joyless scold here: Fashion is bourgeois. It is just another way to exclude the desperate. Just wear clothes and try not to judge other people by their clothes.
No, it's not. Historically fashion has existed long before the bourgeois and will long after they're gone as a class. What has happened is that the bougies are setting the tone of what is fashionable in the mainstream, just like it was the nobles before them, and just like it will be a lot more distributed between people after them....
I suppose so. But under capitalism isn't doing ANYTHING excluding the desperate? If I make a film, or own a fancy power tool, or whatever, those are opportunities not open to the downtrodden.
