normally id agree with you but for the sake of arguement alone i wont, now you say by buying braded clothes you are doing it only to present yourself to the world in a certain light, you realise the ludicrosity(oooh new word) of this, i mean heaven forbid people buy clothes from the GAP because they like them or because you generally tend to get what you pay for, ive lost count of the amount of cheap tops and pants etc that have come apart at the seams within a week of buying them where as the few branded clothe i have tend to last me years, besides which, look at Vans at one point in time they were a company that no one except for a few skaters etc knew of then all of a sudden due to the explosion of that scene popularity they became popular fast, are you saying Vans are bad now because everybody has them?

i say there is nothing wrong with buying branded clothes in the mainstay, if you like what you wear then i see no problem with it.

like i said this is mostly for the sake of arguement, for the most part i "antibrand" the few minastream branded tops etc i own now have a large indelliable black marker pen dotting out the logo

exactly my point, bear in mind all these huge multinational companies like addidas and tommy hilfiger and the likes didnt start out this way, thats an impossibility, they all started out as small companies making few clothes and little money so to have lasted as long as they have and be making the mony they are to me says something about the clothes, now surely that kind of quality is worth paying a bit more for, ok i agree

thats what i mean - if the brand is 'who you are' then theres nothing wrong with that - its just at before i left school i was picked on because i didnt wear these brands - im not going to wear nike to be accepted. but if thats who you are, then go for it.

a brand CANT be who you are, you miss what im saying, the clothes make not the person, the person makes the clothes...

i know what your saying but thats not what im trying to say, i cant think of another way to get the point across to you though *sighs* maybe you'll work it out, ach im gonna go play play black and white anywho, its fun being a god!
