Heard of it? I hadn't until I caught an item on Woman's Hour this morning. Apparently it's a unisex fashion trend, not quite grunge but about undistinguished clothes. It's said to be 'a reaction to a fashion oversaturation resulting from ever faster-changing fashion trends.' The speaker mentioned jeans, hoodies, sweatshirts, sneakers... Then I looked at what I was wearing: cropped denims, denim sneakers and a turquoise tee-shirt. And until that moment I hadn't realised that I was 'on trend'.
OOOPs! Didna think o that. Apologies in advance to anyone with a DH of that name. Just had a thought, if too many people adopt the Norm thing, then it becomes really normal, and we would need yet another trend [like the opposite of normal] Abnormcore?
It does sound rather grim. I know we all have sensible functional days for clothing, but with everything else as well - a bit dreary! It smacks of all those strange American cults that force women, and men, into Victorian dress and lifestyles.
They may well do, petra - but I'm a bit confused. Modern bands don't put their stuff on vinyl, do they? So the young people are just buying old records?
