Maybe they're Goths?
Are there still Goths ? I don't see them like I used to , I think they are doing something different , and calling themselves something different .
Because washing machines don't work anymore. They are designed to save water and energy which means they are unable to get most stains out. Most clothes nowadays cannot even sustain a hot water wash.
Black is a safe color. It is guaranteed to come out looking clean.
I think that's a Big part of it . My brother moved to Boston 35 years ago , turned into Johnny Cash down to his underwear , except his attitude . Washes everything on cold . Big Timer , but even off and working out Black ? I don't get it .
The problem today is the clothing is cheap sorry everything is cheap. nothing is made to last.as the saying goes you get what you pay for.
I buy quality yes it cost extra but it lasts. And fits better I have been known to drive a truck. 44 tons upwards wearing a shirt and tie.
As I take pride in myself and how I look. Dressed nice, smell nice, clean shaven. it all goes a long way.
yes I'm 53 years old
I would rather go for quality that might cost more , but last , and never go out of style , Classic . I drove a Truck , too . Been everywhere more than once . Except SD , I don't think I ever even drove through there that I recall .
Black is slimming.
It yucks me out , except at funerals . Yep , Slimy .
What gets me are the idiots who walk around at night wearing black. One place I drive through to get home has dimly lit streets. I can't count how many times I have almost hit someone because I didn't see them.
I don't get that either . No common sense . Unless you're lurking , or on a mission . Nefarious ... .
