Sub-cultures, like skateboarders or metalheads have always been very protective of the things they perceive as belonging to them.
You should have heard all the west coast punk kids melting down when Green Day got popular! It happens, and understandably so. The same dynamic drives the opposition to "cultural appropriation", honestly. |

Green Day is equivalent to Blink 182. There was no faster way to get ostracized in the subculture scene by listening to these guys. They were marketable though, obviously. |

I'm not going to stop listening to "insert X band" because some celebrity wore their Tshirt. Or stop driving BMWs because everyone who drives one is a prick, etc, etc. I was in slacks and a tie when I went to go see The Melvins a few years ago because I got off work late. I wonder if others in the crowd immediately stopped liking them because I was there? lol I guess I didn't realize many adults were so insecure about stuff like this. |

We all have brands or styles that we associate/rep. In the same sense it is odd to see certain styles or brands being worn by individuals that typically don't wear them due to whatever reason. For example, a Phillies Blunt T-shirt being worn by a member of The Beastie Boys would draw no attention (aside from people suddenly buying Phillies Blunt t-shirts because Ad-Rock had one on or someone saw it for the first time and wanted it) however, if a police officer were to pull you over and was wearing a Phillies Blunt t-shirt and not in uniform, it would be rather odd no? This was my point. |

Wow I never thought a post about a free pair of Vans could get so out of hand, lol.
Listen... I have been wearing Vans since the 80's and throughout the 90's WHEN I SKATED daily. Now I am in my 40's and don't really have the time to skate or feel like killing myself. But I still basically dress the same (albeit more with the current style) and still wear Vans till they fall off my feet. Just like I still snowboard, but don't throw myself off 20ft kickers anymore in fear of getting hurt when shit goes wrong. I liked Green Day before Dookie and Sublime when Stand By Your Van came out. And I still listen to that stuff plus The Beastie Boys (since '85), Bad Religion, The Decendents, The Bouncing Souls, ect. Yeah I own a house and drive a BMW, but does that make me a poser, FUCK NO! I know how I grew up and where I came from. I hang out with some kids in their mid 20's and they listen to all that stuff I listened to when I was their age recognize how awesome I am that I am still basically the same person. Shoe's do not define a person. MY $.02

I have a pair of leopard vans that are pristine. Luckily, I am old enough that I was able to save enough money to get a second pair of shoes dedicated to skating in. I also wear a punk/ska band shirt and sweatshirt with looking like a nerd who has never heard that band. Luckily, it's such a "small" band that one would need to actively seek the shirt/sweatshirt unlike thrasher, slayer, or nirvana |

Nice. You ever go boarding around there? I grew up hitting all the mountains in that area.

I continued to skate up until about 7 years ago. Hadn't been on a board in a while and tried to bust out a 360 kickflip, this was on a Friday afternoon. The next thing I remember it was 11:00 p.m., banging headache and the ex-wife explained that she already had me in the ER, diagnosed concuss. I fell back asleep and woke up around lunch the next day, Sunday. Shitty way to spend a weekend. That was the last time my toes were planted on a board. My old ass doesn't bounce like it used to. Trying to eat concrete with the back of my head was a bad time. |
