fashion and the youth of today

Fashion and the youth of today
A time where fashion and being idividual with how you dress molded into one and women dressed to show off their assets, but also wore what they thought looked good, rather than just throwing on the same as what everyone else is wearing and pretending to like the monstrosity you've addorned yourselve with. Whether it be forties flapper, fifties polka dot frocks, sixties, business pencil skirt, seventies bad ass rock chick, or eighties ,Madonna inspired, out landish gear. My wardrobe cosists of a collection of the whole lot. Fashion through the ages, thats me, and I'm proud of it, the issue with todays younger generation is that 95% of them are not proud to be themselve as due to such things as peer pressure and fitting in feeling like the weight of the world on a teenagers shoulders. It seems being popular is the most important thing in the world.
Apparently to achieve the popularity status 'needed to survive secondary school' means being totally fake, dressing the same as everyonelese, acting the same as everyone, buying the latest phone every couple months, shaving sections of your head because people tell you its a good idea and so you'll look the same, wear fake tan and an inch of make up because that is what an attractive, desirable girl should look like.Life was simple back then, kids wore hand-me-downs, and didnt seperate themselves into groups such as 'emo', 'chav', 'nerd' and 'indie'. A time where computors were still scary and we didn't know everything.
