It feels like anybody with an alternative, subcultural look had some sort of impact on me when I was a child. People with these really big sweat pants and dreads, punks, goths, and so many more people who looked “interesting” to child-me. And today, I still refuse to look “normal” in my everyday life because these people showed me that I can be whoever the heck I want (to a great extent, at least. I’ll still dress up a bit for an interview or whatever)
Totally. I never fully gave up the strappy goth look or loose fit / baggy pants during the hipster skinny jeans era. Its refined over the decades. Now that they seem to be coming back I’m getting so many complements about how I’m schooling the younger kids on pulling it off well. I’m in my 40s reference. Screw chasing fashion. Own what you like and rock it.

Wait. I’m not getting something here.
