I don’t do too much ranting and raving, and I certainly don’t really have any pet peeves. I truly believe that every single person is entitled to make their own decisions, and be themselves. No one should be scared to dress a certain way, listen to any style of music, or express their opinions. But recently, a trend has been on the rise, and it makes my skin crawl. Generation Y is taking this concept or thought of “being yourself” to the next level and they have spawned a new trend, where cool young things that we all loved as kids are finding their way to the front of the fashion line. From McDonalds to KFC to Lego’s, Brand Whores are taking logos, products, and memories from our childhood and trying to make them the next huge fashion crazy. It really hurts to see some of my favorite toys, cartoons, or products I loved as a kid, as the center piece in some emo hipsters wardrobe. I’m pretty sure that the brands don’t mind though. Any opportunity to have their logos splashed about – irony, or no irony – is a chance to market.
