    My friend, you’re 44 and haven’t learned the art of not giving a fuck what people think of you? Wear that sick trench coat. Worst case scenario, someone laughs at you, and you brighten their day a bit.

      Upvoted and I’m technically in agreement with you, but at the end of the day most of us humans are social creatures and how we fit in is, on some level at least, important to us.

      I will say though if dressing like a neckbeard is fundamental to who someone is, they should absolutely go for it. But for me, who thinks fedoras (sans modern context) do indeed look cool, that’s not enough to overcome the stigma. It’s all about finding our personal balances, I guess.

          I’ll just say, I want to fit in as much as the next guy but if it’s something I really like, nothing gets in the way. This the one area i can safely say, “I come first”, because putting a pirate flag on my bike doesn’t hurt anyone.

              It’s all rad. It’s all cool. Its the robots waiting around for someone to be different so they can denigrate them who are fucking lame.

              Edit:

              NM I take it all back.
