this is some self-hating bullshyt. other cultures aren't fashion-obsessed?? f
Only in the black community do we make fun of someone for having a scuff on their sneakers. Among ourselves.
Its so demonic, friend.
I can't even hate on Cat piss martini, he's doing his thing 
All yal nikkas gotta do is admit what ur doing it feminine and keep it moving, ain't nothing wrong with being feminine breh.
Being feminine doesn't make u gay. but denying ur femininity makes u a fakkit tho.
The reason why cats like Prince, Morris Day, David Bowie and Kanye get passes and respect is cause they acknowledge what they do is mo' and don't try to front like its not.

But this isn't just a black issue, this is an issue regarding most men of this generation regardless of color. We're the generation of sagging skinny jeans, "swag", and "house husbands".
shyt, there was even a thread here called "what do you shave your bodywith" or something. It went many pages and brothers were in there talking about how they shave their armpits, arms, legs and balls because they want everything to be "smooth" and "fresh", shyt had me dying
How a man can feel comfortable even trimming anything but his face is beyond me

Why you gotta drop the psychological Ether on nikkas like that friend?
Friend, whats evern scarier is men among us call other men f@ggots in a derogatory manner and then look at confident individuals in the gay community as templates for their personal confidence and self worth.
Its so demonic, friend.
Honestly OP, I think someone has already stated that another race runs the larger fashion world, blacks have of course taken some successful stabs but really though......plus lets put this in a global perspective.....you don't think men in Senegal or Cameroon don't want to have the their best dashiki threads on as much as possible....or men in the Middle East don't want to rock the hottest and cleanest cultural gear or even a modern day long sleeve button up....
I see what your saying, but honestly I think it was more prevalent in the mid/late 90s.....never been one of the fashionistos......for good or bad......probably missed out on many a chance of puss cause I've had a very individual style of dress in high school and college......it was almost Idaf, but not exactly.........as I've gotten older and see more lucidly the importance of dressing nice, but at the same time, I've never made men's fashion an important aspect of who I am, again, for better or worse....I'm not referring to a career or job dress that goes without saying to dress a higher level
I remember I was at a funeral a few months ago, and one of the people got on stage and remembered what a snazzy dresser this 60 something year old person was throughout his life.........
Your premise is that the "obsession is gay".....I think its more just trying to look their best, to put it simply........although I agree there way more important things happening in the world than a fresh pair of Jordan sneaker or this $400 pair of jeans..

you and tom have it twisted. the fukk does nike have to do with fashion??
unless we're talking nsw, but most nikkas aren't up on nike sportswear.
The fact that nikkas got so defensive proves the threadstarter's point. Ain't nothing wrong with lookin' nice, but that shyt has gotten out of hand in this estrogen-filled generation. The overflow of femininity disgust me. Ya'll gettin' mad because the T/S is singling out black folks? 
Black men have traditionally prided ourselves on our masculinity and strength. Now dudes rockin' spandex jeans with skittles shirts like that's a source of pride or something When the fukk did we start caring about fashion trends set by gay Europeans? When the fukk did we start dressing to exclusively impress other people? I bet you nikkas gonna start rockin' high-heals in a couple of years too huh? 
Some fool asked me the other day if he could borrow gas money so he could get to the mall and cop some new gear. nikka can't afford gas, but he'll buy clothes

Ain't nothing wrong with looking nice, but when cats turn into fashionistas, it gets overboard... talking about ' ya boy looking sooo crisp with the official $300 denim draped on my legs, $500 gucci belt with the checker pattern making my pants levitate... and you know i got to have those horses on my body! I got that polo mane, that official lo! horses mane! Top it off with them mango colored J's... i'm feeling soooo fresh right now."

idk about your community but where im from fashion is key, It represents you (whether under false circumstance or not it doesnt matter)
when I was a young boy, I always wanted the waviest gear.
My mother and father would look out for me however if I wanted more, I had to make a way for that. It actualy thought me how to grind, sacrific for what you want if anything. If thats feminine then I dont know what to say......
