Why do people like skaters and skater style? They're the

>>12320033
Started skating at 14.
Adopted the "skater style".
Haven't skated in several years (I'm 30 now).
Still dress the same as I did when I was a skater... not gonna change my entire wardrobe just because I don't skate anymore.
Though I'm not scruffy and I don't wear my trousers around my ankles anymore.

>>12320033
because its fun and creative and you probably cant do it

The style is actually quite effay desu cus it's kind of a form of comfycore plus u just get to chill with ur brahs n skate together idk what ur problem is

>Skateboarding is an activity that makes you look attractive, skilled and graceful much like dancing or playing music
Those activities are socially valued, while skating isn't. It's a pointless, adolescent waste of physical grace- nobody outside the subculture finds skating beautiful.

4chan is more obsessed with perceived social value than any other community that has existed

If I was good at skateboarding I'd probably disagree but I can only just kick flip so fuck skateboarding

>>12320501
I'm decent at skateboarding but to be honest the whole hype around skate 'style' and shit like trasher being fashionable is just silly as fuck to me.

>>12320423
>pointless
It's fun you idiot, it's not about having a "point", and it's nice to go and skate with your friends. Don't take it so seriously.

>>12320495
It's also the reason there is so much off topic threads and
>is x /fa/
Type of bullshit here, it's never about fashion it's about seeking validation of others for having social value because the people don't get enough of that in real life.
Being depressed drug addicted anorexic is the eopitome of /fa/ (whatever the fuck that even means) because it seems cool and aloof on instagram even if your life is shit.

why the pic of the guy wearing the supreme crewneck and converse look so posed lol

Skater style can be okay, but skate music took a fucking nosedive.


Now it's shit hiphop.

(Not that hiphop is shit, just the kind that skatefags love is "Should've stayed on Soundcloud"-tier garbage.)

>>12322297
>not that hip hop is shit

If you like hip hop your opinion on music is irrelevant even if you are talking shit about other styles of hip hop

It's because being a skater when you're 12-14 is kind of like having a car when you're 16-18 and a house when you're 18-21.

The girl can hang out with you without adult supervision and you probably have access to drugs and alcohol and she can make out with you and then catch your dick behind some bushes, after the sun goes down.

>scum of the earth

Hey man, not all of them are terrible people.

As someone who's been skating for 8 years (I'm 21) I simply wear whatever I find for cheap/looks nice at thrift stores because I can't find anything good when I hit the mall.

Or if I do find something, it is rather expensive/doesn't ship overseas.

People simply try to dress like skaters because they find the activity itself cool and want to feel like they are part of said group. Also like other anons stated, for it's comfy vibe.

What I don't really understand is why some people have complimented me on the stuff I wear (most of them being korean girls) I mean, I don't really put any effort to it.

come on man, chris used to rock some pretty goofy fits back when he was a teenager and metal-vibes during his early 20s

>>12320508
Honestly I feel like the whole skater fad started thanks to basic bitches. You only see two people wearing them and those are: people who actually skate and posers, so there's that.

>>12320049
>creative
The diy fuccbois are barely managing "creative"

it's a sport, it's not a fucking culture. and street skating is completely fucking dead.

skaters don't have a particular fashion or style. if anything they dress dumb on purpose or wear whatever happens to float in to their possession. seriously when I skated in high school my friends and I would steal our moms jeans and wear them just because it was considered cool to wear skinny jeans. if we gave any thought at all to what we wore it'd be to wear band shirts we liked or skate brand clothes.

Learning how to skate at 23 is hard

they definitely do have a style you just weren't a real skater and don't know what you're talking about

ITT: people who don't skate at all talking like they know anything about skating

supreme, palace, stussy and many other popular fashion brands were all started as skate brands. skaters have better fashion sense than any noobs in this thread. BTFO

since when is popularity indicative of quality? and I do skate, just cant stand that corny streetware shit - there's far more interesting fashion to come out of the scene than a few lame logos

Too bad they are unsolicited and no one cares

oh yeah for sure, but I think the influnce is more than that: skate culture acts as a sextant for the direction youth/street fashion is heading - so many current trends were adopted and propagated by skaters before anyone else (in a significant way anyway)

>>12323865
well are you just cruising or trying to learn tricks? desu that board would be fine for learning as long as you're fine looking like a noob

>>12323872
Cruising and maybe learning how to ollie
Idk the reviews said it was good

>>12323875
looks like a shit board for cruising. i'd say go to your local shop tell them you're just starting out and you need a board for cheap. they usually have second hand parts laying around and cheap shop boards for 40 - 50$ if they're nice guys which they usually are then they'll help you out

Come to Britain and walk through a council estate

because its "cool" "free" has a lot of connotations with "rebellious" things like vandalism, drug use, trespassing etc..

also skating is really hard and only like 1% of people who try can actually get good enough to pull of tricks so its looked on quite highly by non skaters etc

you have to be a pretty hardcore person to skate well so whatever they wear looks cool because they have the personality for it

>>12320033
They have durable shoes

>>12320033
because you're clearly a bp cuck and can handle zfg skater bros fyukkin ur bich

unless you treat skating like a part time job ie spend 15+ hours a week doing it, and have done so for years on end you're a fuckin cancerous poser

it's a fucking lifestyle, not a hobby, buying a street set up to "cruise" and wearing a 5 panel hat and vans does not make u a skater

Also, there is no skater "style", skateboarders encompass a wide range of styles, anything that u can comfortably skate in is fair game and anyone that actually skates and lives in a community of skaters will be able to make this observation

Unfortunately, skating has become trendy, and there's a certain aesthetic that's associated with it but that does mean there's a definitive skater fashion

my culture is not your costume! u fuckin unoriginal tasteless fucks

>>12325518
Just to clarify about the time commitment 15+ hours a week thing...

the reason this is an important marker for determining genuinity is because skateboarding is fucking hard and you'll never be worth a shit at it if you don't dedicate a certain amount of time

its incredibly rare for people to ever get good at skateboarding if they started past a certain age. Any skilled skater, sponsored or not, has likely been doing it since adolescence. I don't know a single person who picked it up past 18 who's even close to decent

just give up posers

actually jk, keep funding the industry so people who actually skate can afford greater chances of sponsorship or pay
