So my mom is often the source of many of my blog posts as she forwards me interesting articles from various sources. This morning she sent me this one that almost made me fly off my hinges. Many of you have probably noticed the trend mentioned in the article: the neck tie. I hate, I repeat hate seeing kids out in ties. I feel it proves to me two things: they don’t have a desk job (or for that fact, perhaps they don’t have any job) and they are, most likely, a tool who thinks they have all the answers. Sorry to judge on looks here guys, but I’m just saying. Wearing a neck tie out completely loses its appeal if you’ve ever worn one to work, and then seeing one out just reminds you of work. Not what I want to be reminded of when I’m out trying to forget the work week at the bottom of some pint glass somewhere. Hence why I like dive bars. No neck ties in dive bars (exceptions - lower east side and probably Brooklyn)
It’s not about looking good or fashion for me really. I mean, if you can rock it and look good fine, but the thing is these are a lot of the same kids who would probably get on me for holding down a desk job where I occasionally have to rock a tie. They might say I’ve sold my soul to the man (admittedly, this might be true), but at the same time they’re rocking the fashion of my job. How does that make sense? Fucking hipsters.
