[kj] Post Punk Uniforms

[circuit bender]

Topics like these always remind me of that Wall song:
'buy a new one when the old one's worn,
everbody's got to have a uniform'!

Personally, I've always seen music fashion as the nostalgia branding that comes after the 'sound'.

I ve quite often seen a big group of "individuals"..............All
wearing the same clothes...............Style and colour??????????Say
What!!!!!!
But if someone wants to wear something thats not original or
individual,surely thats their prerogative.Why should someone have to wear
individual clothes ,Just to fit in?
