    I think most anti status quo people wouldn’t be interested in the clothing industrial complex

    Maybe people are just more comfortable expressing themselves in different and unique ways that don’t conform to one “outfit/style”

      Punk tends to lean towards modifying what you have with what tools are available, and shopping second-hand. As a bonus, the inherent aesthetic is harder for the fashion industry to co-opt.

      I think hand repaired and hand sewn stuff could easily be it. “I made this dress before taking down the stock exchange”

          Yeah, you can’t expect to be successful the first time you try to take down a stock exchange

        I still don’t think anyone who’s in the hacktivist scene really gives a shit or at least doesn’t give a shit on whole any more than any other group does.

        Let me spend several months trying to identify exploits while siting at my computer but also take the time every day to coordinate a cute outfit…
