- Retric 4y agoJust like every generation’s thinks the next generations music sucks, this reaction is intended. Fashion is about signaling not whatever you happen to agree with.
- hwestiii 4y agohow is signaling different from "whatever you happen to agree with"?
- Retric 4y agoBecause a strong negative reaction is also a sign of fashion. Tattoos aren’t universal, what’s acceptable for Army special forces, goths, gang members, etc are all different. So, good or bad only exists in a specific context it isn’t something that any person can judge universally. Someone really can define good as whatever pisses people like you off.
