I asked what you were doing now, but fair point. 'Didn't make the connection.

Take it on faith. Honestly, it was just a traditional punk/deathrock look. You know, a look that has some taste and a tad bit of relevance. It wasn't even that big of a deal. Point being, I don't need fashion advice from a homo-erotic looking pirate. I've got style in spades.

Sorry. If it's half as good as you say it is it's bound to be more interesting than the rest of this conversation added up, so I'm passing on the faith thing.

Your aesthetic is a statement and that you actually identify people as either "You" or "normal", which tells me that you divorce yourself from the layman. Somehow, you have an irreconcilable difference with your fellow human beings that sets you apart from being "normal" as you like to put it. Short of that, dude... you aint all that. You have a negative opinion of people in general. vis a vis, you're a damned bigot.

I see normality more as a social mechanic than a class of people, really.

I'm not being binary at all, I'm just telling you that your aesthetic is absolutely DEAD and irrelevant. You're a try hard, dude. I will admit that looking gawth to the 9s is now kind of boring to me, so there is that, but your aesthetic says NOTHING except that you just want people to believe that somehow you're absolutely different and special. Thing is, you're not. You're just an extremely well made clown. People don't berate you because they're threatened by your looks, they give you shit because they know you're full of shit. You're a poseur, man. And everyone here with a valid opinion can call you on it.

'Poseur'. You use that word? Srsly?
Anyway, you keep going on about my 'message'. There is none, or at least none that has been mentioned even passingly ITT. You're putting words in my pictures, then calling me on what you said. It hasn't been about adopting an 'identity' since I was 16, but if that's all you ever got out of it I can see why you'd drop it, I guess.
And I'm proud of trying as hard as I can. 'Don't get why you keep using that as a negative.

Basically, you're a mallgoth with spellcheck and I hope you get ***** by some burly biker dudes with tattoos.

I taunted Kontan because I really enjoy out-there styles, and he seemed the type that could achieve something cool if he wanted to - which apparently I was right about, but late on the catch with.
'Rest o' that is your expectations, filling in the blanks as convenient. =)
