clothing - question

i'm actually bothered by the clothes in the opening scene. i was not sure if the extremely tattered and stylized clothes represent the poverty that the two guys were dealing with, or if it was some kind of fashion statement. the prints were also distracting and interesting at the same time.

well, in this case, its a bit trivial to mention but
i don't think that is entirely true. most countries have their own unique style. japanese fashion is distinct from french and american and so on. especially in tokyo. for certain there are people who are not edgy and wear super fashionable clothes but there is still a very unique quality.
furthermore, one time when i was in tokyo i noticed people like really old women who seemed to have no idea that they were wearing super high end brands. i saw an old woman in a cafe withh an outrageous shirt but it didn't seem like she was even that aware of it. i definately got the impression that, at least in tokyo, outrageous fashion is kind of unavoidable, its just everyday. so i think these characters were just like the average young men in tokyo as far as their fashion went.

Yeah their clothes owned, but I was a bit skeptical that they'd have enough money to buy stuff like that seeing how they worked at a run-down factory and didn't seem to be that rich.

Pete Wentz, you're such a failure. You couldn't even succeed at taking your own life.
