holy crap...i just regurgitated a good sized chunk of penguin food.

Why does the black guy have to dress like he just finished preparing a steaming bowl of cream-of-wheat for Ms. O'Hara down on the plantation?

That is not a euphemism.

Please tell me this was actually ripped from a Joe Dolce Details of the '90s.

Um, Varvatos All Stars arent't that expensive. You should have gone with BAPE.

the first one is an indie yuppie, or a yupster (yuppie + hipster). duh.
that was so almost two years ago.

Or a Grup.

And the second one is Farnsworth/Fonzworth Bentley.

Man, I for one am really glad that Details ran this piece, because just the other day I was saying to my friend, "you know, it's impossible to tell by looking at someone whether they're gay, Black, or a hipster." But now they've cracked the code for us! Thanks, Details!

...Breaking out of the sarcasm, it makes me seriously uneasy to see them treating race, sexual orientation, and vague aesthetic loyalties as though they're all part of the same categorization system. However, the fact that Details is widely-regarded as a stupid magazine does mitigate my dismay.

Why do I feel a nagging cumpulsion to reach out to all three of these ahem, "types" and bitch-slap them for trying to be "trendy".

We're almost back to the fashions James Lilek enjoys mocking. Much like this.

I have yet to see anyone actually dress as a Buppie... does that mean I just don't have enough rich black friends?

Triteon,

The Wearing a Dorcus was a must at the ">Gobbler">http://www.lileks.com/institute/motel/index.html>Gobbler

I hate it when newspapers/magazines, try to come up with 'trendy' names for the so called 'trendy' fasions.
Its almost as bad as the 'TomKat' crap and Bennifer you see splashed all over the damn tabloids at the checkouts. Seriously, is this 1st grade? do we have to call them stupid names? Or is the readership that fucking dumb that they cant read 'Tom and Katie Cruise did blah blah'? I mean what genius came up with TomKat?

Guy 1 "Ive got it!! Its amazing! Its like, Tom, Katie and a reference to a plane, cos you know Tom Cruise was in a plane movie!!!!! TOMKAT!!! Im a genius!!"

Guy 2 "You are a genius!"

Guy 3 "I cut myself when no ones looking"

Man, buying a Mac and wearing converse, jeans, a button down shirt and a blazer - WHAT A FASHION STATEMENT. Living in a loft is so alt.

what if I'm black, gay AND have a Macbook? Now I'm soooo confused.

What if I'm black, gay AND have a MacBook.... man, I'm sooo confused.

'Guppie' has been around for ages. I actually prefer 'GAP' better. [Gay American Princess].

There is no way these Types actually exist -- no group of humans could be capable of being so awful. Details just made them up so there'd be someone to resent.

Isn't #1 a bobo? That's only, like, five or ten years old.

Is it just me or is Details the worst magazine on the planet?
