How to be an outcast when you're an Incast (& Vice Versa) #90

I keep asking people, in regard to this whole 'dressing so "uncool" that you look cool' aesthetic, what happens when the outsider kid becomes the cool kid? Or is the outsider kid still the outsider kid even though the "cool kids" dress like the outsider kids. (Ghetto response follows) You feel me? For example take the Karen Walker aesthetic. Their initial design process is based around (as said at Semi-Permanent) picking the most uncool thing and recreating/reinventing it. What happens when you dress all the 'it' kids like the 'not it' kids. By kids I mean customers and by 'it kids' I mean not upper tier buyers and bloggers as such, I mean that 2nd year uni student that somehow has too much money to spend and wears Karen Walker to class on a Tuesday with little interest in the creative value but rather the status it gives them. Yeah? Or maybe no-one buys KW without understanding it and maybe KW has made the uncool too cool. Or maybe I have the wrong perception altogether. Forget it. Here's a picture of me trying to be Warhol. It's retarded. You're lucky (maybe unlucky) that I let you see it. 

That wasn't really helpful at all. Goodnight from New York City.

And I'm out.
