Day 19: Out with the New, In with the Old?

Hello stranger,

Wow, I haven't blogged since last year! Terrible, terrible blogger I am. Anyway I hope this will be another fun-filled year for us. 'Fun-filled'. So remember when I said on my very first post that I'd be looking forward to writing everyday? (Oh yeah of course you do.) Well, procrastination is slowly taking over me completely so now I'm starting to write a few days after each post. I don't know why, maybe it's the fact that I'm running out of good topics to write about. I'm slowly losing ideas for each topic. Or maybe I just haven't been able to think of one that really interests me. I actually started writing this post two or three days ago, then I tried to continue it yesterday, but for some reason I can't think of much ideas for this particular topic.

I do though, have a little idea of what I'm writing about. Now that I've finally started actually working on the post. Anyway, 'out with the new and in with the old'. Ring any bells? Think about it. Here's what I've come up with: slight hypocrisy. This idea more so only applies to let's say, the 'younger' and much alive generations of today. What point am I really trying to make? Okay, let me break it up for you. In my time, which is, the 'younger and much alive generation', we hated the old stuff. Don't even try to deny saying that the old stuff was 'lame'. Because as young people, we all have. Although I've always liked The Beatles, Chicago, Phil Collins, and especially Bob Marley. Partly because my dad always listens to them. And they're, well, amazing.

Nowadays, a lot of artists have been adapting to the old music. Taking choruses from famous old songs and changing up the beat and the verses, using old music styles... But of course there is still the rise of modern music. Although my point is not only music-wise. Before, if you were seen wearing a floral skirt or anything that goes high up your waist you'd look stupid. Now, everyone wears them. Except for me, I find skirts quite uncomfortable. I still think they're adorable though. Take high waisted jeans for an example, that was the fashion way before I was born. Now, they're pretty much 'in' again. I just don't get it. Especially with people in my generation, it's as though everyone's just trying to copy everyone. Like they're doing it to look 'cool'. Not because it's who they are.

I believe that the way a person dresses gives us quite a big idea of their personality. Although these days it's quite hard to make that judgment because everyone basically wears the same type of clothing. I can't say that they're all just wearing modified old fashioned clothes just to look 'cool'. Because a lot of people might actually be dressing because they love vintage and old fashioned stuff, or it's who they are. But let's be real, it doesn't apply with everyone else now does it. Sometimes I don't understand why people have to try so hard to fit in when they can easily stand out. And wearing the same type of clothes as everyone else surely doesn't make you stand out in any way. I'm not saying that I'm a 'unique' dresser, but I at least try to differentiate myself from all the other people of my generation.

Nobody can deny the fact that some people actually do say that they like something old fashioned or from the older days just to make themselves sound... I don't know, better than they are? I seriously tried to think of how to put it less harsher than that. To those people who are true, you have my full respect. To those... I won't even bother. I don't write to hate. I write because I'm cool that way sometimes you just have to speak your mind. Or write your mind for that matter. For the record I almost have absolutely no idea what I was blabbing about. Have you ever had those moments when you know what to say but couldn't? I mean in a sense that you can't even put it into a simpler context because it's all already too complicated for you? Nothing personal, just saying. Have a great day.
