That's why i'm glad my most expensive pieces i've bought a year or two after they're hot. So i know i actually like them instead of buying the hype.

I think it’s just a simple case of oversaturation. Streetwear became more mainstream, so more companies and influencers tried to quickly cash in on hype, leading to low quality, derivative clothes. There’s still great clothes out there, but you have to look harder for it

Agreed and I think it's starting to show as labels get sloppy. I was really looking forward to Palace x Gucci, Palace being one of my favourite labels. It was underwhelming to say the least. I think as the cost of living, inflation etc., bites and there's less cash to spend for the average person, we'll likely see a dip of the more fragile brands and blue chip brands rediscovering why people like them in the first place.

Have to say, I hate what Balenciaga has become. I'm not a high fashion guy but that was a revered label for a long time and it's been torn to shreds.

Done been into streetwear since the early 90s waay before “hype”. And I ain’t EVER gonna change.

Lmfao @ “rise & fall of street wear”. 😂 I been in the street wear scene for almost 30 years and it’s NEVER fallen for me. I have clothes from over 10+ years ago that’s still hot now. True purists who were just into what they like will ALWAYS be ahead of the trend. I’ll be glad when all this “hype” dies down and I can go back to buying what I like more easily

[DivineYeezy]

Streetwear hasn't died completely but isn't prominent as much because new artists have emerged to set the latest trends. It's safe to say that streetwear has been toned down to have a more minimal approach, but to say it died is an overstatement because streetwear uses simple and timeless clothing designs.

The commercialization of street wear is really a turn off. Don’t flock to the latest fads guys that’s just a trick to keep you spending $$, take time to develop your own pov and taste level before spending big money on high end brands. None of these items are essential at the end of the day so if you are going to buy something like this that has some kind of appeal make sure it stays in your wardrobe and doesn’t collect dust.

[odinxrk]

I LOVE your conclusion, it was actually insanely accurate! My thoughts exactly actually

[KEEF]

I love people who still wear streetwear and keep true to themselves

[markmoe]

I been wearing $5 plain tees for the last 10 years lmao

[CaliKiid]

I personally love minimalistic fashion, while at the same time collecting high quality/standout jackets and layering pieces. Ironically my most worn item is a Supreme one lol, its a light wash Black Sabbath Trucker Jacket. I’ve owned it for 6 years now, and because its a classic looking piece, it will fit in with whatever fit and style of clothes are trendy 💀

[tyronehmm]

Bro you need back ground music and this video is golden . Btw this video looks so professional and entertaining

[sonicd]

That’s why I’m glad I don’t watch tik tok or IG posts. Create your own identity. People are posers and the companies and hype have them chasing an endless game to feel cool about themselves

[kr]

Saying that buying reps promotes child labor, etc. while also buying from big brands like Nike and Adidas is INSANE. 🤣

[Aikon]

Streetwear now is: buy a new pair of the same shoes with different colors (air Jordan) every months and pretend to like them

[NotAnotherDrop]

Street wear = Malibu's Most Wanted (movie)

[som]

One common flaw I see throughout this video is that once something that is trendy amongst one culture and starts to trend among another culture that’s when things get lame. Like he said “street wear” is birthed from hip hop style in particular really and once another culture starts biting it usually becomes something negative because it’s just not natural for the others honestly it’s just copying and ppl really be thinking they have style when you just copied a fit with no real thought or creativity.

[yuu]

nah that kickgenius reference tho, big ups og

[Dc_Macho]

Don’t like how a lot of “fashion people” describe streetwear as the starter of fashion. Yes they are right. But the way they say it in a bad way. It makes people feel like if they’re in to streetwear they have no style or they’re basic. I like the better brands of fashion (Yohji, connor Ives, ect) But I like streetwear more since I can wear it day to day, as for real fashion u need to think about outfit and what piece goes with what. Would I really wanna put myself in a situation where I stress about what to wear everyday. Rather not. And would I wear the pieces that I see in shows? No.
