  • There was a MAD magaIne comic:

    • poor people wish they had clothes
    • median people wish they had nice clothes
    • upper people want branded clothes
    • rich people want clothes that nobody else has
    • really rich people wear whatever tf they want (the comic has them dressing like a hobo)

    I used to think that. But then I realized that art is an appreciation of beauty both within and outside the realms of conventional tastes. I realized my own tastes had become aligned with the commercial zeitgeist and I was shutting out other creative expressions that, while unconventional, had merit by its own right - by simply existing. I had become the barrier to expression by my crass judgement, and by extension, the gatekeeper of what I professed to love - creativity.

    Now., if your question was ‘are <insert the example that is rankling your bones> these street wear examples commercially viable’? Then the answer is ‘it depends on the buyer’.
