When did the flipped up collar come back in style?

[Easy Mac]

Seriously, when the hell did this atrocity occur again? I know it was popular in the 80's and some 80's things are back in style (trucker hats, ugly belts...), but seriously. I went down to Atlanta this weekend, and there were like 50 kids or more with flipped up collars. What the hell? It hasn't made it to my school yet (that I've noticed), but Atlanta generally runs about 2 months ahead of here. So when did this suddenly come back into style? It looked stupid back then and its stupid now.

This (http://www.cavalierdaily.com/CVarticle.asp?ID=16812&pid=1045) is the only known report on the subject I could find, and this was from 7 months ago, so maybe I just haven't noticed.

It went out of style? :(

[Easy Mac]

Yes Don, so did the white leisure suits.

Here's a reference to it from the University of Nebraska-Omaha college paper's horoscopes

Hold off on popping your collar. As cool as it may seem, the explosion of the popping will cause severe skin lacerations, and that's not cool is it?

We need an FOFC Members Only club. I got the jacket.

[Ksyrup]

I'd rather see collars up than pants falling off the ass.

[Easy Mac]

sagging pants are only fashionable on girls (low rise jeans, but hey, I see good thongs so its ok :)) and African-American males/wannabe's.

This coming from the guy asking fashion advice on a text sim message board ;)

SI

[korme]

I'd rather see collars up than nerds wearing pants so high they're giving me a wedgie.

[Easy Mac]

I don't think this is asking for advice, but questioning when such atrocities re-emerged in society. Advice seeking is like "Do I look good with a white belt on?"

Cool idea! *runs to find his*

[Fritz]

Easy Mac and fashion. Look out Ralph Lauren.

[Ben E Lou]

"Do I look good with a white belt on?"Only after Labor Day.

[Easy Mac]

Only after Labor Day.
Nah, last I heard white can now be worn at any time during the year.

but seriously, the return of the flipped up collar and the wearing of pink and light purple shirts has really started to disturb me... its not salmon bitch, its fucking pink.

[DeToxRox]

Grant, I am glad you are joining the club.. Now it's time for the initation..

[Easy Mac]

here you go, we can just put FOFC on the collar

[Flasch186]

Slowly and discreetly I slip my white belt off in the hopes that no one will notice.

Wow...those are hot. Even better is that they're "vintage pimp," for all those FOFCers who want to be both cocky & funny in white.

[rkmsuf]

Seacrest must be leading this charge.

[Fritz]

this should be shared:

So what do you wear, oh king of the fashion commentary?

Best,

Fritz

Hey Fritzy!

Swoop necked shirts, clam diggers for men, and flip-flops are big here in the spring.

Shorty, are you trying to cover up your nerdness?...be proud of who you are little buddy...even if it is a really short wedgie nerd :p

[Easy Mac]

this should be shared:
as of right now I am wearing a grey t-shirt with a pocket, cargo shorts, and a pair of $5 sandals from Old Navy... and a pair of $1 boxers.

[RendeR]

I have to say that I agree with the "jeans 5 sizes too big" problem, who's teaching these dorks how to dress these days? the elephant man?

Measure your inseam, measure your waist, and buy relaxed fit jeans if you like the looser feel, but stop having to hike your fucking trousers up every three steps you weak ass gangsta-wannabes!!!!!!

[Easy Mac]

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
A real gangsta-ass nigga plays his cards right
A real gangsta-ass nigga never runs his fuckin mouth
Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas don't start fights
And niggas always gotta high cap
Showin' all his boys how he shot em
But real gangsta-ass niggas don't flex nuts
Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas know they got em
And everythings cool in the mind of a gangsta
Cuz gangsta-ass niggas think deep
Up three-sixty-five a year 24/7
Cuz real gangsta ass niggas don't sleep

And all I gotta say to you
Wannabe, gonnabe, cocksuckin', pussy-eatin' prankstas
Cuz when the fire dies down what the fuck you gonna do
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Feedin' the poor and helpin out wit they bills
Although I was born in Jamaica
Now I'm in the US makin' deals
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
I mean one that you don't really know
Ridin' around town in a drop-top Benz
Hittin' switches in my black six-fo'
Now gangsta-ass niggas come in all shapes and colors
Some got killed in the past
But this gangtsa here was a smart one
Started living for the lord and I'll last

Now all I gotta say to you
Wannabe, gonnabe, pussy-eatin' cocksuckin' prankstas
When the shit jumps off what the fuck you gonna do
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
A real gangta-ass nigga knows the play
Real gangsta-ass niggas get the fliest of the bitches
Ask that gangsta-ass nigga Little Shea
Now bitches look at gangsta-ass niggas like a stop sign
And play the role of Little Miss Sweet
But catch the bitch all alone get the digits take her out
and then end up hittin' her ass with the meat
Cuz gangsta-ass niggas be the game playas
And everythings quiet in the clique
A gangsta-ass nigga pulls the trigger
And his partners in the posse ain't tellin' off shit
Real gangsta-ass niggas don't talk much
All ya hear is the black from the gun blast
And real gangsta-ass niggas don't run for shit
Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas can't run fast
Now when you in the free world talkin' shit do the shit
Hit the pen and let the mothafuckas shank ya
But niggas like myself kick back and peep game
Cuz damn it feels good to be a gangsta

And now, a word from the President!
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Gettin voted into the White House
Everything lookin good to the people of the world
But the Mafia family is my boss
So every now and then I owe a favor gettin' down
like lettin' a big drug shipment through
And send 'em to the poor community
So we can bust you know who
So voters of the world keep supportin' me
And I promise to take you very far
Other leaders better not upset me
Or I'll send a million troops to die at war
To all you Republicans, that helped me win
I sincerely like to thank you
Cuz now I got the world swingin' from my nuts
And damn it feels good to be a gangsta

[Blade6119]

I think we are all gangstas in our own special ways ;)

[lcjjdnh]

Well up here in good old suburban NJ, we have been lucky enough to have both of these fads occur at the same time, so we have the guys who not only wear the pink shirts but then procede to flip the collar up as well.

[samifan24]

I was sitting in my sports pr class today and I look over and this kid's got his collar up and I could help but laugh. I'm in southcentral PA, too, so apparently it missed you, Easy.

[MrBug708]

I like wearing my collar flipped

[Fritz]

When I aksed you one time, I did not mean for you to give me a daily update.

as of right now I am wearing a grey t-shirt with a pocket, cargo shorts, and a pair of $5 sandals from Old Navy... and a pair of $1 boxers.

[Cringer]

everyone dresses like crap but me anyways......what with my "nerd" glasses and 3 inch long goatee and 4-5 inch high mohawk, people usually don't look down and see that my t-shirt says "I fucked the girl in Hanson".....but i'm thinking this flipped up collar thing could put me over the top, give me that extra little something special i need to complete my look.......

..........then your women will ALL BE MINE!! :D
