    When I was a teen I wanted to be cool and buy some chains to hang around my belt loops but my mom thought it’s too expensive when we looked at them at Hot Topic. Then we were at a pet shop and similar looking chain leads were a fraction of the cost and she got those for me instead lol

      I had a pair of urban camo cutoffs that absolutely refused to die that I got for like $5. Paying for “alt” type fashion is just fucking stupid… Where do they think it came from?!

      gotta be a little careful buying cheap boots bc sometimes they’re made out of cheap leather that reeks to high heaven. or they’re made out of synthentic material that cracks after a couple months. But in general, yes.

    Hessian bag from some designer brand shop for pretentious twats: £800

    Hessian bag for life from several supermarkets: Maybe a few quid

    I didn’t really want to go in there, but someone else wanted to and I was immediately disgusted at its existence when I looked around.

      Metalheads or hard rockers occasionally used to, when I was young. From the hardware store of course.

      Some of them do… Or at least, they did - I mostly remember seeing it when I was in high school, and it sort of faded out when I was in college. Not sure if it fell out of style, or if it’s only a thing with the Hot Topic/mall goth crowd

      Edit: uncorrected an accidental autocorrect

      You can use home depot rope for bandage, you jus5 have to boil it a bunch first to soften it, then use a lighter to burn away the prickly bits. And maybe coat it un a wax.
