being rich isn't even cool, it's just that /fa/ is full of middle class american teens brought up on the idea that money = happiness

people on /fa/ are boring as fuck middle class kids so they like boring things

Richfag here. Being middle class sounds dreadful. Lower-class subcultures are just insecure posturing, so I'm not sure why you'd think that's worth crowing about. There are upper and upper-middle class subcultures, btw. You'll just never call them cool because you can't get in and it hurts your feelings.

>>11160554

>>11160563

I can tell you are not rich. Don't even ask me how I know this.

>>11160574
LOL

if you really think any of those "subcultures" are cool then you are a profoundly uninteresting person

>>11160574
Most sailors and horse riders are working class. You're thinking of cologne commercials where metrosexuals ride equestrian and sail a catamaran. Yet, real sailors, are gritty working class fishermen while horseback riders are working class cowboys and farmers in the West and Midwest. Again, don't ask me how I know you aren't rich.

>>11160574
Every single one of those is working class roots dumbass, except finance because Jewery.

They're more interesting if you actually spend time around them. At heart, all subcultures are just sets of people getting tribal so there's a limit to how interesting any of them are gonna be. I don't think these are any less interesting than punks or mods or whatever you're thinking of.

>>11160587
Nobody uses sailboats for commercial fishing outside of the deep third world, and plenty of rich people like to play cowboy, never mind the whole range of equestrian sports enjoyed by the upper classes pretty much exclusively. Ever heard of a dude ranch or barrel-riding contest? Of course they're not actual cowboys, but that's not the point. That set of people forms a distinct (weird as fuck) subculture.

>mfw my high school and college both had sailing and equestrian teams
Do you really think we were hiring random poor people to compete or something?

>don't ask me how I know you aren't rich.

>Lacrosse
Sport copied from natives who are all dead now and played almost exclusively at private schools and small private colleges.

>frat
>a collegiate social club with expensive dues
>working class
hmm

>sailing
First off, I mean with actual sails, not as in enlisting in the navy.
Just because poor people do it one way doesn't make it the same. Yachts =/= equal fishing vessels. Yachting derives a lot of its prestige from the way young nobility were pretty much guaranteed positions as officers in the Royal Navy.

>horse people
Horses are expensive. Using them for anything but practical labor purposes is expensive. Nobles' horses go fox hunting, peasant horses plow.

>rowers
Rowing as a sport is, like lacrosse, pretty much only practiced in high-income communities. It has been associated with Oxford and Cambridge since pretty much always.

>>11157526
That's not what /fa/ means; /fa/ is really all about being yourself and having a good time. :)

>>11160621
The argument was they are all awful appropriations of working class history. My point stands firm as my cock when you bend over to receive judgement.

>>11160900
But literally none of those things are appropriations of working class stuff. Indians, college boys, naval officers, English gentry and Oxbridge athletes aren't working class.

>>11161060
Naval officers didn't do the sailing, the underlings did it for them. The working class.

Slaves were a working class of their time, who did the rowing for the masters, as well as the shipment who rowed for their captains, Vikings, Etruscans, etc. Blue collar farmers and ranchers alike have shown and professionally trained horses for hundreds of years. I grew up lower-middle-class, but my sister was a barrel racer and my family broke and gelded horses for richies. We didn't use our 2 dozen horses for manual labor.

Finance = Jews
Point is moot since Jews don't do manual labor.

Lacrosse appropriated from natives who were the definition of working class, all of them but chieftains. Doesn't matter who plays it now, as it was appropriated.

I'll give you Frats, but it's too cringe worthy to even care about.

Keep it coming, ready to stick in more than just the tip. I can feel the shit being pushed back in your puckered butthole.

I'm not even going to bother pointing out how hard you're muddling history because it would mean nothing to you.

In the end, you'll always be lower-class, and nearly everything that comes from your mouth will be a cloaked rationalization for why that's a good thing.

btw, lower-middle-class barely existed by the 80s because it was mostly clerical workers who got phased out by computers. Sounds like you were just a slightly more independent member of the working class.

>>11157646

you are so wrong it's hilarious

>how can taste be this bad

What about the subculture of having taste in fine art and performing arts and shit

>>11161244
Your view of the world is skewed far beyond the truth, and you obviously have a chip on your shoulder to show off. Keep thinking you're right, as there's no point in continuing to argue with you. Upper middle-class kids like you thinking they're rich, bet you're a 6/10 at best, and daddy's money won't change how you have the mind of a child. Grow up and learn something about history and the class you claim to be a part of.

>>11161277
>he hurt my feelings
>he must be lying
Honestly, you've been acting like a huge rube by assuming that "horse people" meant western-style cowboy shit, which is the most pleb version and not even what I had in mind (though there is an, admittedly derivative, subculture of rich western riders). Fine, narrow it down to those who ride English and you'll find zero connection to blue-collar stuff since it comes straight from fox-hunting, which has always been a sport of the nobility, to the point that its banning in the UK was rooted in class resentment far more than concern for animal welfare.

The Indians who invented lacrosse didn't exist within the same class hierarchy as working-class Europeans. Not-rich =/= working class as we understand it. People in those tribes actually spent far fewer hours per day working than the typical 9-to-5er does. Building mounds and making war were pretty much just extra activities to keep people from getting restless.

Rowing did begin with professional watermen, but it was adopted as a very different sport in the fucking 1700s. I think the statute of limitations is running out on that, particularly since nobody rows for a living anymore and boats cost as much as a new BMW.

>Finance = Jews
How do you think the American WASPs have stayed so rich for so long? Hiding it under their mattresses?

>>11157526

Actually, we can put this whole thing to rest. Tennis and squash are key to the social fabric of the upper crust all over the world and originated in the French royal court. There, that's a huge, distinct subculture that has literally zero relationship to anything unmoneyed. Tennis people can be fanatical.

/fa/ is only for inspo and occasional cancer-free threads

the rest of it is pure, unadulterated downs syndrome and you shouldnt give a shit what other /fa/ggots think

This thread seems like the perfect place to ask this question, I've been meaning to ask for a while now. I live in London, and I go for lunch and for a bit of shopping most Saturday's, and I've noticed its increasingly difficult to tell whether somebody is lower or middle class. Perhaps it's that good quality, designer clothing can be found cheaper now, or most classes tend to have the same hairstyles or BMW / Audi / Mercedes are quite cheap to lease brand new. It could be some totally different things. Does anybody else find it rather difficult to tell?

>>11160621
Well, we sorted out origins now you could explain what is even remotely interesting in those. I'd rather stab myself than sail ever again in my life and horses are fucking stupid. I mean there are tons of fun things to do when you got money but these ain't ones. I'm not even sure how does this have anything to do with /fa/.

/fa/ has claimed none of these things and generally regarded them as not /fa/ owning an apple product means you're not a discerning consumer

And being fashionable means you're a discerning consumer in relation to clothing


Having a fashionable lifeste means you're a discerning consumer when it comes to a goods and services

Meaning rather than doing the mainstream thing and buying a $29.99 stainless steel knife at Walmart you might have a shun full tang japense steel knife

Rather than having Teflon coated pots and pans you have a small set of cast iron and alm clad pans etc etc

You don't litter your house with ugly crap or shitty products

So why demand quality from everything else then buy the cheapest possible phone from whatever lazy contract store at the mall

The problem with your suggestion is that Tennis cannot be /fa/. That's the whole thread's origin. Tennis is also a very cheap sport to get into and you're limited mostly by your own skill, not the equipment you buy (though it does matter to an extent at high levels and precision detailing). I play more than well enough to beat anyone on court, and that's with a $15 racket.

As someone who is super rich and lurks here, I can vouch for your theory. My neighbors have $25m houses and spend all of their time in fucking sweatpants.
