Why?
It's 2007 and I'm a 31 year old man. So why do I still dress like a 17-year-old alternadork in 1994.
You want examples? Check out these pics of me wearing a Pavement t-shirt (circa 1992) over a ripped white long-sleeve waffle knit, and Vans skate shoes. I'm living in the past, man.

it could be worse. you could be dressing 80s. *shudder*

What else are you going to do? Go all Abercrombie on us? Wait, they just sell you brand new t-shirts that look fifteen years old for thirty dollars. Men’s fashion isn’t too progressive, you’re fine as long as you stay away from the birkenstocks with white socks.

fucking hippie.

The future looks bleek anyway. The past was so much keweler anyhow.
You need to learn some new chords there JJ. Seems like every picture of you playin’ you’re on the same chords.

erm, i think it’s a fine style to be wearing. if i were skinny, that’s what i’d be wearing. i’d be a hot alterna-chick. i mean, it’s jeans and a t-shirt, i think it’s pretty timeless.

If it makes you feel any better I think I’m too old to wear jeans every stinkin’ day of my life but I still do.

webmiztris:
Good call.
cinders:
Socks and sandals? Yeah, that’s a bad look.
Kevin Kubusheskie:
Me? You’re the one who likes jam bands.
MacBros:
I’m going to have to call you “eagle eye”. Three chords is enough for indie rock.
sarah:
True. Jeans and a t-shirt is a timeless combo. What about a baseball cap? Juvenile or acceptable?
randi:
That’s exactly what I’m taking about! I wear jeans just about every day. And I realize I’m lucky that I get to wear what I want to work, but I do feel like I should grow the fuck up at some point.

i wouldn’t sweat it. my husband wears that pretty much daily.

I think you are soooooooooooooo cute, no matter what year it is!!!

Very sly move there, JJ. Posting an “oh-woe-is-me” rant that is ACTUALLY a shameless plug for Philly’s rockin’est band,
THE CODES!
NICE! heh heh heh.
The Codes are retarded!!!

It could be worse..
You could be a 33 year old man.. who sits at home and plays the xbox game “Guitar Hero” constantly.. and really thinks he’s rockin out.
Yes, I’m talking about my husband.
It’s tragic.
I accept your pity.

Don’t sweat it, J. The mohawk had me worried, but this is pretty cool.

Alternadorks never go out of style.

I still wear my converse all-stars, band shirts, and jeans every weekend. I see nothing wrong with that.

the soviet:
He sounds pretty fucking awesome.
Martha:
Sounds like something Momo would say.
joe “TFKoP”:
You know me all too well, dude. By the way, I played a little disc golf this weekend. I’ll give you the details next time we hang out.
LC:
Don’t knock Guitar Hero. That shit rocks. But yeah, I have finally gotten to the point where I will actually leave the house on occasion.
nappy40:
Sweet. I do need to work on the hair though. I need some new ideas.
BeckEye:
That’s really good news. Because I think I’ll always be in that category.
trouble:
Excellent. At least I’m not the only one trapped in a fashion time warp.
