Anyone still wearing Nike shoes? I do.
I like Nike Suketo. They're a little more mature (especially in more toned down colors) but still cool Nikes. They don't make you look like a wannabe basketball player too.

I actually wear something similar with my scrubs daily.

Nikes are just lol.
Of course those shoes are nice as far as shoes go, but to me, they look as plain as any shoes can look. And I don't believe in this 10x price jump scam from other shoes that look exactly the same because they were handmade from a baby's ass using 190 steps.
Expensive things that play that overpriced bullshit scam because we want things that make us feel special:
shoes
sneakers
wines
clothes
watches
restaurants
sports game tickets or concerts
cars

Eh, maybe it's because I like cars that I disagree with you, but there is a difference between an $18K Toyota and a $100K Mercedes or Porsche. Sure, most people with those cars don't take them to tracks, but the amount of time and engineering that goes into make those cars so great is vastly different from a Toyota Camry and its economic ideology. Now, is it $100K of a difference? No, but that's how shit is.
However, I do realize the irony in me saying that a $10K+ Breitling or Rolex is no different from the $100 Fossil watch I don't wear anymore. It has all these bells and whistles and gauges that do things I don't even know, but I couldn't find use in them.
While I wouldn't spend over $25 for a shirt (and it better be a good fucking shirt), I can understand how clothes can affect the way you feel and can improve your mood, and therefore your projection towards other people. I don't need to cloaked in $500 worth of fabric to feel important, but you gotta look proper/smart. That's hard to do without spending at least $100 on everything combined for an outfit. More if you're a woman. So clothes kind of get a pass too.
I wasn't saying there's no difference, just that the highest priced items in those categories are usually way over-priced. But people want these things because they are super expensive, and they want to be seen as being in the exclusive set of people who can afford them. (Now I'm off to the supermarket in my $400,000 Rolls Royce).
So I like Doris quite a bit. I think the production is really good, dark and grimey, I like it. Earl doesn't really prove his naysayers wrong save for Chum as far as his content is concerned. I don't think anyone expected anything different though. I could be missing quite a it though cus let be honest his lyrics are a lot to digest upn the first couple listens. Overall I dig the album
lol.
It's more like I grew out of it. There's nothing to be gained in any aspect of my life by sporting a look that's 10+ years old. Appearances, especially first impressions, are everything. And the music, well I just don't dig it like I used to it. That's not to say I hate it, a lot of the subject matter has no appeal to me, and my taste has just changed so much over the past 4 years. Ya know when i was 16-20 I wouldn't give country the time of day, now there's a lot of it I like (see Noah Gundersen, Matthew Mayfield). Let's face it, the world has moved past rap, so have I.

There are still decent rappers that appeal to me. But I do see Funk's point. I don't agree that the world has moved past rap though. I see the music industry as a whole struggling and relying on gimmicks such as Pop Idol and The Disney Crew to sell music.
I have found myself listening more to bands from the past than current music. My son's favourite bands are The Beatles and Nirvana.
I never really bought into rap as anything more than music though. I never dressed in the awful clothes that a lot of rap fans did. Baggy clothes were, are and always have been horrific. If Tupac wore something, it was a certain that I wouldn't be seen dead in it. That mostly still applies but Kanye has changed that image quite a lot.
Some of the forum members who are no longer here literally based every aspect of their lives on Hip-Hop. They probably still do...! I've always had my own identity that wasn't formed by popular culture and never will be.

I do not buy this argument at all. There is so much good music coming out these days. Did you ever check out any of those bands I posted a while ago? Being stuck in the past is unattractive in the extreme. It shows an inability to grow, adapt and move on.
Nirvana and The Beatles are greats that everyone should know, but I would never listen to them except on the off chance shuffle comes up with a real good song. Their music is classic, but it's played out now. It's like the guys who grew up in the 80s and still think Motley Crue and Poison are gods or people like my dad who struggle to give anything new a chance. I never, ever want to be one dimensional like that and it's a philosophy I apply to every aspect of my life. I realize this doesn't apply so much to your son since he's young and hasn't heard any of that stuff yet.

Pseudo-psychiatry 101. LOL
There is a lot more to me than music tastes. You can't make a judgement on someone like that. Especially someone you have never met. If I was too make the same analysis based on the little I know about you. I'd say you pretend to be something you're not in an effort to look "cooler" than others. This may be wildly incorrect, the internet is not a place where our true personality is seen. Especially on here, where we argue and push different points that we wouldn't give a shit about in real life.
I didn't like the majority of the bands you recommended. That doesn't mean the music was bad, or that I have poor taste. I feel that you see the world in black or white, so I had to put that in. I do like new music that comes out. But most of what comes out, is very bland. Doesn't grab me a lot. I go to watch several bands and performers live a year, so there must be current artists I like. Admittedly there are very, very few Northern American bands that I enjoy. Much like Ristol, the majority of the bands I like are British.
I was going to say, my son is 5. The bands are new to him. But you covered that in your last sentence.
I don't solely listen to classic bands. And I take your point that the music is played out. Because, a lot of it I have played too much. But.... In the 60s we had Motown and the invention of the Rock Band. In the 70s we got Punk rock, glam rock. Heavy Metal and hip-hop were also conceived. In the 80s we got the New Romantics. What have we got in the last 10 years that changed or defined our generation? Because my answer would be reality TV music groups and manufactured artists for kids. There should be no place for songs such as Gangnam Style, anywhere. Not even if it's fun..! I'm not saying there is no new music or artists I like. This is what happens on the internet we argue in extremes. I am saying that music is in poor health compared to the 60s, 70s, or 80s. (Not that I like 80s music..!)
I'd like to say it again. And highlight it. I didn't say there was no decent music coming out now. Because this is the internet, and people always take things to the extreme to argue their point.
