I like girls that wear Abercrombie & Fitch.

That song came out in 1999.  What did we expect to happen?

They also said "Chinese food makes me sick," and Chinese food is no more or less popular than it was then.

Maybe you didn't really miss it, but what I really meant is that Abercrombie & Fitch was just as temporal as pop music.

Ah.  Yeah, I don't know where high-school-aged upper-middle-class white assholes shop these days.

Flatter then the earth we live on, I knew Abercrombie was done after the "cool kids"  in highschool weren't cool anymore. That brand did good at dividing who had money & who didn't in school. Now the kids they weren't cool have money & the kids that were cool are nothing. Good riddance to the brand & dumbass thinking that came with it.

As recently as a couple of years ago, when I'd see a load of privelaged Aryan suburbanite teens hop out of an absurdly oversized luxury SUV, the brats were usually wearing Vineyard Vines.

But I see that the company is launching a line for sale at Target stores, so it would appear that ship is quickly sinking.

So adults are judging others by the clothes they wear?

Must have missed out on that mailing list.

No, so far the comments on here have been judging clothing brands by the people who wear them–not the other way around.

That's the closest the comments have come to judging people by the clothes they wear, and it was high-schoolers doing it, not adults (OK, probably adults were doing it too).

Manufacturers and distributors of "labels" can try to court their buyers, but it doesn't always work out that way. Loads of folks will buy anything just to show off that they're either rich, "not poor", brainwashed, or they just happen to enjoy what it looks like on their bodies.

Goood one, While I must say that is a law, a judge cannot bring the same case to trial, thus it was already judged, thus my statement being correct.


So you sir must put the bong down & try again.

P.S. I already smoked today.

Can we please get back on topic?  This is supposed to be a discussion about girls who wear Abercrombie & Fitch.
