What Happens When?


Question Posted Monday November 15 2004, 7:22 pm

Well, I've always been shopping at American Eagle and Abercrombie and those kind of places, and I HATE IT!!! I hate them all. I don't want to be a prep. I want to shop at Hot Topic, I am so anti-prep it's not even funny. And all these years my parents have made me shop there. Seriously, they will not let me shop at Hot Topic or anything place they consider "goth". I guess you could call us rich, and so I totally hate it. I just want to be what I want to be, which is pretty much "punk" since I'm really into that kind of music and I love black. I've been so pissed about it, but, if I do convince my parents to let me start wearing stuff from Hot Topic, will people call me a Poser because all the sudden I go from Preppy Clothes to Punk?

Please help!

Just so you all know: I HATE preppy clothes. They suck. I think about being home schooled and running away and buying Hot Topic stuff and just sneaking it to school because I hate my clothes so much. So don't think this is just a stupid joke. Thanks.

Dude your such a poser. If you really didnt like "prep" clothes then you wouldnt wear them at all. And another thing, you kno nothing of punk, just because you think having a stud belt and whatnot is punk doesnt mean you kno what you are talking about. Go get a life man, your a stupid ass poser no matter if you shop at hot topic or anywhere, also being a prep isnt about how you dress. Wtf is your problem, stupid ass loser with your damn labels and sterotyping DO ME A HUGE FAVOR AND DIE. Its all part of the new trend right? Oh all i gotta do is get a stud belt then im coool.

no you won't be called a poser, but people will ask you why you went from prep to punk or will call u goth or freak or weirdo. You learn to ignore it all and answer their questions as for your parents I just went out and bought. you could try hiding it but still it may not be too smart. Also make sure your friends know about this or you may end up friendless wich isn't fun either

Although I too prefer Hot Topic to AE and A&F, let me start off by saying that what you wear isn't everything...Let me also finish with this same statement: WHAT YOU WEAR ISN'T EVERYTHING.

But seriously, although it sucks not being able to dress how you want, it isn't like you're wearing rags. Although it would be a lie to say people won't judge you by how you dress, the people who's attention you really want won't. C'mon guys, big picture here. Plus, in a few years you can move out and wear whatever the hell you want.

You will obviously be called a poser, but thats ok, because if you are more comfortable in those clothes it doesnt matter. But definitely do not let whatever clothes you are wearing change your personality- its ok to mix "genres" of clothing- just wear what you want!

Ur parents should let u be whatever u wanna be. And if they wont then just buy the clothes u want without telling them.. and throw away all the tags and reciepts. :-)

You won't be considered a poser. People change and since you never liked preppy clothes to begin with, you will be fine. I love Hot Topic, its one of my favorite stores. I also love AE and PacSun. I'm not considered a poser even though I love both. Be honest with your parents... tell them that's not who you are and you want to be an individual. They'll understand if you make the right approach.

the best thing you can do, is tell your parents that you appreciate their caring for getting you clothes, but you've grown up and aren't happy dressing the way THEY want you to dress. you aren't happy. tell them that you are your own person, and that they aren't allowing you to be your own person. if all else fails:
1. wait
2. get a car
3. get a job
4. get the money from your job
5. buy your own clothes

-kelsie-
p.s. it worked for me!

* Alright, just talk to them about it and tell them how much you hate "prep" clothing. If they don't let you buy the clothes you want, you could always get a job and buy them yourself. And yes, people would call you a poser. It's just because of changing so quickly. Maybe if you buy a couple "punk" things at a time or something, and change at a slower pace other than going one day being "preppy" then the next being "punk"..Hope I helped <3
