I always found it interesting that in this fandom-scene-musicgenre-whatever you want to call it, girls can develop negative body issues not only from other girls but the boys, too. I mean, I look at that picture and, besides being disturbed about how close he is to pulling a Wentz, I think man, I wish my stomach was that flat. And then I blink a few times and wonder when I started to want to look like the boys on stage instead of just wanting to play like them. But it's what's popular now and gender roles and androgyny is something that rock music (or whatever they're calling it these days) has been messing around with for decades - like Bowie and the whole glam rock scene. But [points above] that to me is just not attractive. I just want to bake him cookies. And then force feed them to him.
...Whoa. Sorry that's so long and increasingly off topic. Ramble much? But, no, I don't think there's a solid consensus on his gender. I'm leaning more towards girl myself - look at those hipbones!
Yes. Yes. Dear GOD YES to everything you just said! This scene is horrible for girls who have bodies that actually have feminine qualities. God forbid you have boobs, you can't wear any of these shirts that are preposterously classified as "girl sizes." Everything fashion-wise is geared towards those who are built like a fourteen-year-old boy. Thank goodness I am ridiculously old and can't dress like a teenager, and even if I wanted to, I couldn’t squeeze into any look they consider cool nowadays.
Did someone somewhere invent an elaborate system of levers and pulleys that allow guys to pour themselves into these tight pants without, essentially, showing us the family jewels? It's getting to the point where I want to give it the '8th wonder of the world' status because the mystery around it confounds me so.
Dude, I swear, the way he has his right arm bent it totally looks like he has a boob!
(You think you're rambling... I have to go to bed, this is ridiculous!)
Oh my god, you're right! That totally looks like a boob! I guess that's what you get when you insist on standing hips&crotch first all the time - weird arm angles and the illusion of a chest. (And that has to be the weirdest couple of sentences I've ever typed...)
But dude, yes. I totally agree. I mean especially with the clothes and "girl sizes", not having curves has been popular in fashion for years (heroin chic, right?) but it's odd how girls are encouraged to look like prepubescent boys - no boobs at. all. - while boys are encouraged to look more feminine. Girl pants, anyone? It's what's fashionable right now, but it is definitely not a look I can participate in. I grew out of that in high school, and I'm actually, y'know, female.
And god yes. Those pants there? Are a miracle of modern science. Seriously.
Though, is it wrong for me to get a mild bout of sic pleasure from the perversity of guys starting to jump through the same hoops we have to? I mean, it's about time they fix their hair and loose sleep over the condition of their pores... if we're sucked into a void of ill-fitting clothes and expensive personal products then they should be too! Damnit.
You are spot on. Jim Morrison complex? Yes. His band has that whole "we just time-warped in from the 70s" look which I don't mind, per se, but usually don't find so damned annoying and I couldn’t figure out why. THAT'S WHY. The pants, the hair, the constant flash of "chest" (we use that term loosely)... Nice try, little boy.
At least Wentz made with the goods. Clearly this kid's got nothing in those pants. It's a physical impossibility.
