it's either one or the other, but when they do clash, i just end up dressing like this
if brit grandpa, it's loafers & socks, some pleated trousers, a knitted pullover with a basic white or black tee underneath. sometimes the pullover will be changed for an oversized blazer. if i'm feeling more sophisticated, the basic tee will get switched for a button up
if it's skater boy, you've seen enough of them to know the fits, but here's an example anyways: baggy pants (cuffed cause i am a hobbit and i refuse to swiffer the city streets with the hem of my pants), a band or graphic tee underneath an oversized hoodie or layered with flannel, converse/vans slip ons/adidas superstars, rings and a baseball cap

2019 i was like whatās the scariest shit possible and decided to go as a white man. went uniqlo got a checked shirt, had that tucked into some khaki dickies with grey new balances and a dad hat shook everyoneās hand with real gusto saying āhow do you doā and shit
2020 i was like how do i top last year i nailed it and after much deliberation i went as a skater boy. didnāt shower for 5 days prior - then wore some nike blazers, went urban jungle got some size 42 jeans cut them off and wore with shoelace belt, big tee, vintage carhartt zip hooded work jacket i borrowed from my flatmate, noah beanie with the cigarette in the cuff, and 2 modelo tall boys in a jansport backpack i borrowed off a friend
2021 i realised quickly to complete the trifecta of fear i had only one option - to go as a male manipulator. wore some kleman padrors, pink socks, dickies with the THICC cuff so you can see the socks, tucked in golf wang tee i borrowed off a friend over a striped uniqlo long sleeve, carhartt beanie with logo at front, keys on carabiner. asked people that night about movies and books as much as possible
and there you have it

I adore finding a random video from like 2005 and reading through the comments the way a historian would examine an old manuscript from the 1700s. Are these people still active YouTube users? Or are they forgotten accounts? What did @jjlwis mean by "awww im gonna miss rob too!!!" ? Who even is Rob?? Anthropology in the digital age... so many questions... it's fascinating.
The important thing for me is not to add new comments. I feel like I'm disturbing an old archeological dig site and my sticky modern commentary will make the video crumble away into oblivion. More importantly, I don't want the algorithm to suggest the video to a bunch of people who will spam the comments sectionā major yuck š¤¢

early 80s to early 2000s truck models are the perfect sizes imo. current trucks are transformer-sized behemoths that could easily crush normal vehicles into smithereens upon impact and i legit donāt know how those things are even street-legal. also, idk if itās their design, reliability or the nostalgia factor per-se, but thereās a certain sazĆ³n those older trucks have that newer ones donāt.

with social media being this pervasive entity that has weeded its way into our daily routines for the past 20ish years (plus a global pandemic that really solidified those habits), many young adults today have spent a large amount of their lives living online. it has become the new norm and iām not gonna pretend iām above any of this because itās so easy to fall into it (i am literally writing this rec on my phone whilst itās a perfectly sunny day that i should probably go out to enjoy).
with that being said, in the larger scheme of life, being in your 20s is still in a weird way the beginning stages of your life. itās a period to try new things, make mistakes, learn from them and develop an identity thatās independent from the environment and people who raised you. though you can learn to do some of those things online, they donāt hold a candle to actually experiencing those things for yourself in real life.
all in all, the best way to not sleep thru your 20s is to prioritize in-person experiences that allow you to get a better understanding of yourself and your values. whether that be getting your first tattoo, moving to a new city or country, exploring your personal style or taking up hobbies you couldnāt or wouldāve never done as a kid, this is an important formative time to venture out and get a sense of who you truly are.
