I see a lotta people worried over their clothes.
Like, they can't dress the way they like because people will make fun of them for it or think less of them.

This is a conditioned reaction put there by the Boomers. Wear the clothes that best let you be who you are. Wear the clothes that look Good on you, and don't be afraid.

The people who'd make fun of you are prettymuch Already Dead.

@Motodrachen don't forget that social safety is still a thing though; Some people may judge you silently - they're not worth noting. It's the people who may judge you and react physically or incite others to do so that folks are concerned about. "Damn the torpedoes and full steam ahead" only works if you know you can tank the damage.

@Motodrachen it's good to have a friend (or BE the friend) who can double as The Enforcer for a group's safety
