A Brief History of Nobody Dresses Well Anymore

If you enjoy these threads, you'll enjoy the coffee table book I've written, about our repeated complaints (nobody wants to work anymore!), our love of blame & the wonderful world of newspapers. Manuscript is with the publisher & you can pre-order here: @paulisci @paulisci seems to be a story as old as time... Could probably go as far back as biblical times and get the same shit every decade...
@paulisci To be fair, people stopped dressing well in the 1800s, though there was a nice little blip in the 1920's. @paulisci this thread just makes me think of all the people who bought into this notion of a "time traveling hipster" who was just, you know, a young man in 1941 in and among adults who probably thought he was under-dressed. he looks as if he is dressed in college student casual. it was misdirection cos the real time traveller was farther back almost out of frame. I believe there are "kids, these days!" complaints found in papyrus scrolls from Ancient Egypt. @paulisci @paulisci I feel like pretty soon we will be able to make "a brief history of reposts of a brief history of nobody dresses well anymore" |
