How Trendy Are You?

[parttime crackhead]

I'm just The Bad Man with greasy hair at your local bus stop.

Haha, I'm pretty sure I've been that guy a few times.

I'm apparently trendy if you're an Ian Brown obsessed knobend. The amount of people I had come up to me outside clubs when The Stone Roses were doing those gigs recently giving it "Did you get a ticket man?!?!" was unreal.

"A ticket for fucking what?"
"The Stone Roses?"
"Na man, I like some of their tunes but Ian Brown's a prize cunt. Why would you ask me that?"
"You've got long hair, a bucket hat and an Adidas tracky on, you're basically wearing an Ian Brown halloween costume."
"Oh aye, shit."

It was clearly aimed at young adults, but there is a series Tyger Drew-Honey is doing on BBC3 & one of the episodes was 'Tyger Takes On... The Perfect Body'.

Arf 'Tyger Drew-Honey' must rank as the gayest name ever. And yes, I do know who he is, and yes, he deserves the name...

 

[parttime crackhead]

What in the name of fuck is a Tyger Drew-Honey?

That's surely not a person, is it?

If it is, I'm willing to bet his dad never called him that. His real name's probably Steve.

You honestly don't want to know mate. Like I said, he thoroughly deserves the fuckin' name....

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Yeah you do.

His real name is Lindzi James Tyger Drew-Honey and both his parents were porn stars.

"You've got long hair, a bucket hat and an Adidas tracky on, you're basically wearing an Ian Brown halloween costume."

It's also the East 17 outfit

 

[ColtDan]

Still wearing the sort of clothes you did in the late nineties is fucking pathetic, isn't it?

Those big black Spliffy jeans just sprang to mind for some reason

His dad is Ben Dover? Haha! Who's the maw?

Imagine that was your da? Fucking hell. I've actually got a bit of sympathy for the poor fucker now.

[parttime crackhead]

Ok, on reflection I probably don't quite dress the same as I did in the 90s. Unfortunately I no longer own any Eclipse gear.

Sympathy? This motherfucker's going to be straight ballin' his whole life because of who his dad is!

Team "dressing like they were in the 90s" here too, but slightly less goth.

I always wanted some of those. 8)

 

[ColtDan]

Same here lol, and those jackets

 

[Bearlove]

Is there a scale? I don't think I follow this. Undershirt, shirt, matching shorts and Jesus sandals - shades, matching watch.

 

[parttime crackhead]

If there is a scale, the Jesus sandals are right off it.

To (very belatedly) answer your question, his Maw was Linzi Drew - editor of 'Penthouse' magazine and a regular in 'Club International' during the climax (fnarr, fnarr) of her career in the '80s. Aaar, I remember her well...

 

[5StarSquatHotel]

They say trends go round in circles, I should be well trendy in 20 years time.

 

[F.U.B.A.R.]

I'm proud to say that I have NEVER been, or am ever likely to be 'trendy'. That's not to say that I've never followed a certain style or styles, it's just that the styles I have followed have always belonged to certain sub-genres (think biker-hippy-punk-goth, or these days just add a 'retro' prefix). God forbid I should ever choose my clothes according to what the fashion of the day dictates

Good

Apparently this is a new trend... what the fuck

 

[Bella Figura]

I am physically repulsed by those pictures.
