Just A Misunderstanding

"I THINK IT’S FUNNY HOW THE MAJORITY OF PPL ON HERE ARE SO QUICK TO HYPE THE LINE UP. YEA, THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF CUTE PIECES, BUT AS ANOTHER COMMENTER MENTIONED. . WHERE ARE THE BLACK/BROWN MODELS????? IT JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE HOOD THROWS AN ASSLOAD OF MONEY INTO THIS COMPANY BUYING UP ALL THEIR STUFF, JUST TO HAVE THE OWNERS RELEASE A STATEMENT SAYING THAT DIMEPIECE WAS NEVER INTENDED FOR “CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHICS” (READ BLACK FOLK). I’M ALL FOR PPL HAVING A HUSTLE, HELL, I’M ALL FOR PRETTY CLOTHES. BUT DAMN, HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO LET MOFO’S STEAL OUR SWAGGER, MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT, THEN DISS US. SERIOUSLY PPL, YOUR SOUL HAS TO BE WORTH MORE THAN THE PRICE OF A GRAPHIC TEE."

I'm trying my best to not turn this blog into fifty-fifty, which focuses on fashion, music, entertainment and all that dope shit. However, with popular street brands such as; hellz bellz, MOB, DMPC, MadeMe, etc. releasing their fall/winter drops it's being brought to my attention once again why streetwear isn't for everyone. The above quote is from someone's opinion under a concreteloop spotlight did on DMPC in '07.
It's comment like those that cause me to shake my head. During my first year of college, I had about 3 fashion related projects and I dedicated them all to streetwear. While I love to keep streetwear underground and have people wonder what I'm wearing, I hate when people throw shade at the culture, and know nothing about it.

Streetwear i'm sure isn't intended for a particular demographic, however if it's anything it's the opposite of urban wear. No I'm not about to go do studies and statistics because it's not that deep but most of the people I know or see rocking these brands aren't African American. As far as having African American's model the brands, well there aren't many of those too pick from.
And as a disclaimer I don't rock streetwear 24/7, one thing I have said and will continue to claim is that streetwear can be a bit pricey and a bitch like me will glady go to F21 before I cash out $40-$50 on a t-shirt. It's all in the love of why those brands and streetwear as a whole exist and the entire concept, culture and meaning of it all that I admire and have grown to appreciate and love. Simply put, it's not for everyone so either you like it or you don't and most won't.
AND those that don't are usually the one's rocking plastic barbie jewelry, leggings and jean skirts, too small baby girl tee's and showcasing their muffin' tops.
