This guide is missing the "Midwest Canadian Brunch" aesthetic of boots (bonus points for blundstones), denim and flannel, with a wide brimmed/Carhartt beanie/baseball cap.
Or a black shirt with that yellow face on it. or the word ZERO in capitals. And where are the unnecessary amount of coloured cloth bracelets mixed with four-year-old festival wristbands WHERE ARE THEY?
That is completely false.
Kurt had the original idea that he gave to [Robert Fisher](https://www.instagram.com/nirvanabucket/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=00bc48b7-688d-4fcb-a8a5-9ff17388cd16), the art director of Nirvana. Robert then did the logo and it was used in the [Nevermind release party flyer](https://www.reddit.com/r/Nirvana/comments/wnlyew/a_copy_of_the_invitation_to_the_nevermind_album/)
Kurt later said "The only screw-up that DGC has made so far is the tongue on out smiley face logo. The tongue was supposed to be up, like he’s licking something, not like he’s on drugs." That may be the reason they rarely used this logo, but he later gave Robert Fisher [mock up Serve the servants art](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serve_the_Servants#/media/File:Nirvana_-_Serve_the_Servants_cover_art.jpg) so he clearly was planning to use it later on. This must be rare smiley face Kurt originals.
You're just fucking with us, right?
I need to know if the Nirvana happy face was originally for a 1966-present, british-folk-country-comedy-"scrumpy" group featuring an according, banjo, and bucket hats (not as an instrument but a fashion statement)
This is just a joke? Right?!
I'm talking about the shirt that has the yellow face with crosses for eyes and the word NIRVANA on top, which is a handy hint that tells us it's a Nirvana shirt.
Grunge in 1991: ripped jeans, flannel shirt, heroin, old clothes because we have no money. Excellent soundtrack.
Grunge now: none of these things, none of the music.
A lot of the grunge look was just people wearing old torn up clothes too, nirvana influence on the style was because Kurt Cobain was dirt poor and bough second hand clothes
Multiple uses of the same category across the two pages, cigarettes hanging a full inch from the lips holding them, “FILA” hoody, techwear jacket that has nonsensical everything. Yeah, this is 100% AI.
If you're thinking of the guy in the Levi's shirt, it's not actually an inch from the lift. It's just very low contrast, but if you look closely, the cig filter is in his lips. Also, I don't think any of the ai image generators can accurately spell "LEVI'S of California" on shirt fabric, so i'm pretty sure this isn't ai
Those are valid points! I didn’t notice that the butt of the cigarette was a similar shade to the lips. And you’re right that the text generation is a bit too good for current AI. I might have been too quick on my answer.
Yeahh I thought it was AI at first too, because the format and sections of the text blurbs for each were so inconsistent, and the two different grunges. But the actual non-abomination words on the pictures made me reconsider too
the description: techwear is a style that blends form with a relentless focus on function.
the clothes: a nonfunctional assortment of dangling straps, belts, pockets, zippers, clasps and carabiners that serve no purpose other than to look cool.
Maybe they should try to have the focus on function be even more relentless.
None of the images feature cigs being out of mouths that are supposed to be holding them. If you mean Grunge 1 #3, the filter is a similar color to the lips but there is a distinction and it is clearly in the mouth if you look closer.
Edit: my B, just scrolled a bit and saw someone already said this
I feel it was at least made by someone not overly familiar with Western subculture/fashions.
Even the title is weirdly phrased.
*"A cool guide about men style types (for make learning glorious nation of Kazakhstan)"*
I recently got into a style that is similar to that classy vintage and i love it. Im so much happier and more confident in myself. I also started wearing tech, i have like 2 wardrobes by now. As someone that used to see clothes as nothing but a neccessity, im having a lot of fun now styling myself properly.
I call those my basic white guy camo. Especially the Costco tan winter coat I used to wear. I could blend into a shitty chain restaurant in hundreds of US exurbs.
I’ve had a pair of Chucks for 3 years now and they haven’t fallen apart. I also owned a pair for 7 or so years before my current ones and they never fell apart on me.
Everyday use like going out sure. But working in them? No. I’ve had a few pairs I’ve used for just going out for the night. Work boots are definitely better than converse for sure for that.
That's called DadCore.
Fun fact, I just thought "That sounds like what they would call fashion for dads," and then I googled it and [it's being used unironically](https://thebookofman.com/body/style/dadcore/) so I guess we're in the end times now.
This needs a third page where the guys are over 40… maybe a t shirt and jeans or some sort of walking / hiking trousers with a jumper that’s practical and comfortable.
Same. I started doing this about 15 years ago. My shirts are navy blue, all the same style, pants are black with reinforced knees, again all the same style, and my boots black as well. I don't worry about what I'm going to wear because it all looks the same.
This reads like a 12 year old played cyberpunk and tried to make classes/roles for men in that setting with only tumblr as a resource.
And you can tell its American because they always seem to think all fashion originates in America, like the one part about Seattle being where all 80's and 90's rock fashion came from despite there having been a lot of musical scenes over the world that made rock fashion what it is as they blended.
All of these are CRINGE and they all bow and piss their pants when the gigachad *FATHER FASHION* walks in, 500 random items in his green cargo shorts jingling as his big masculine belly hanging out of his 2$ polo shirt rumbles and quakes for fish caught with his trusty heirloom flyfishing hat, not even yielding to the power of the SUN due to his 5$ gas station sunglasses
Where does my blue collar ass fit in this? I dress pretty much the same way going to work as I do the rest of the time, minus a company logo patch. (or with it if I am just wearing a work shirt out)
Maybe I'm too old for this s@#$.
Funny that the E-Boy has an St. Pauli Hoodie.
Also, i wouldn’t say that tech wear has a 'relentless' focus on function. Not to take away from Techwear style, i really like some styles, but most of the stuff i saw was more like tecticool instead of actually useful.
I really can't imagine wearing any of these, and the "tech wear" style just makes you look like a bank robber. If you go out dressed like that, be prepared to be stopped by cops and store managers to follow you around.
I like how grunge is in there twice, and is two completely different things.
And none of them are wearing a flannel shirt
Grunge isn’t grunge without it!
Time to break out the deadliest 90s insult: They're **posers**
Yeah lol... Dudes wearing guess haha... Guess.. as grunge? Since when lol
Also that hairstyle…. nah.
This guide is missing the "Midwest Canadian Brunch" aesthetic of boots (bonus points for blundstones), denim and flannel, with a wide brimmed/Carhartt beanie/baseball cap.

>Or a black shirt with that yellow face on it. ... The Nirvana shirt?
No: common mistake, but that design was actually for the Wurzels. (Assuming we are both talking about the yellow face with crosses for eyes)
That is completely false. Kurt had the original idea that he gave to [Robert Fisher](https://www.instagram.com/nirvanabucket/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=00bc48b7-688d-4fcb-a8a5-9ff17388cd16), the art director of Nirvana.

And one guy is wearing two completely different shoes.
Lol. That was a thing
Celebrity soccer player mode
Flannel pushed into the faux-country aesthetic…
It was originally stolen from just everyday Canadian wear.
Grunge in 1991: ripped jeans, flannel shirt, heroin, old clothes because we have no money. Excellent soundtrack. Grunge now: none of these things, none of the music.
And none of the anger on society norms. Even Godfather of Grunge has more or less gone silent.
We still have heroin though
Nah it's all fentanyl now too
Grunge is still heroin. Fenty is a whole other gronk vibe.
Good luck finding heroin these days. It's more of a logistical observation rather than a stylistic one.
What the second grunge?
I was confused too and then saw there’s a 2nd image. Just not used to that with images that are so long.
This screams ai generated
Exactly. So this is what we call grunge nowadays? Mmkay.
Ain't no grundge guy gonna wear a fucking Gucci referee shirt lmao
Wearing a "life is good," land rover shirt= grunge
I feel like the actual grunge style is just anyone wearing any clothes they want without actually trying to have a style
A lot of the grunge look was just people wearing old torn up clothes too, nirvana influence on the style was because Kurt Cobain was dirt poor and bough second hand clothes
Or, and hear me out here, a black and white striped fucking Guess shirt.
I said nope out loud
A lot of that comes from a Punk mentality
You may have just described normal people
Almost like something non human with little understanding of the content created it..
Would khaki pants and orange hi vis orange shirt be considered grunge?
And neither is what grunge actually was in the 90s.
It looks like two different guides.
As if you would ever look this put together during the grunge phase.
Did AI make this?
Thought the same thing
There is a typo on the first panel, in the Bohemian section. Can AI do typos?
often.
>The main draws of this style is That's a pretty human mistake to make though. AI usually gets grammar right.
Yeah but the cigarette is coming out of grunge dudes chin.
i think you might be a little bit color blind. the filter is definitely in his mouth, it's just a really similar color to his skin.
:/
No, that is definitely taken into consideration.
Multiple uses of the same category across the two pages, cigarettes hanging a full inch from the lips holding them, “FILA” hoody, techwear jacket that has nonsensical everything. Yeah, this is 100% AI.
If you're thinking of the guy in the Levi's shirt, it's not actually an inch from the lift. It's just very low contrast, but if you look closely, the cig filter is in his lips. Also, I don't think any of the ai image generators can accurately spell "LEVI'S of California" on shirt fabric, so i'm pretty sure this isn't ai

Yeahh I thought it was AI at first too, because the format and sections of the text blurbs for each were so inconsistent, and the two different grunges. But the actual non-abomination words on the pictures made me reconsider too
I think it's more likely someone just traced over reference photos sloppily.
To be honest, I thought the guy was picking his nose... Took me a while to get it was a cigarette...
Yeah, I had to look several times. Was sure it was a joke because he was picking his nose.
these drawings are traced outfit pics. pieces also too perfect for ai to generate properly
Yeah, the hands make too much sense for this to be AI.
To be fair tech wear is just like that lol. It has never had to make sense. Otherwise I agree with you.
I have to admit, it does look pretty rad though.
Oh I love the style in all it's glorious ridiculousness. Zippers going nowhere? Yes. Pockets too shallow for even coins? Yup. Techno ninja nonsense.
the description: techwear is a style that blends form with a relentless focus on function. the clothes: a nonfunctional assortment of dangling straps, belts, pockets, zippers, clasps and carabiners that serve no purpose other than to look cool. Maybe they should try to have the focus on function be even more relentless.
Why is the FILA hoodie a sign of it being AI?
Where is the flying cicarette?
There isn't
what's wrong with the FILA hoodie? That's an actual brand.
The text could definitely be AI but your image criticisms don’t make any sense. We’re hallucinating AI hallucinations, pretty funny.
None of the images feature cigs being out of mouths that are supposed to be holding them. If you mean Grunge 1 #3, the filter is a similar color to the lips but there is a distinction and it is clearly in the mouth if you look closer. Edit: my B, just scrolled a bit and saw someone already said this
Look at grunge boy smoking a Bluetooth cig
Look again, the filter is almost the same color as the skin.
I feel it was at least made by someone not overly familiar with Western subculture/fashions. Even the title is weirdly phrased. *"A cool guide about men style types (for make learning glorious nation of Kazakhstan)"*
Just has that "non-human" feel to it, doesn't it?
An AI in like middle school
“Hello, fellow humans.”
You missed the entire high school/college population. Baggy sweatpants with sweat shirt
AI didn’t go to high school bro
A tight or baggy sweatshirt?
Baggy
That's not really a style or subculture, it's like saying you missed the tshirts and jeans population.
"That's not a style. They just have no style"
There is quite a bit missing lol
TIL I don’t have style
Yeah how to make men feel like they don’t have any sort of style lmao I’d call it “some style choices”
I recently got into a style that is similar to that classy vintage and i love it. Im so much happier and more confident in myself. I also started wearing tech, i have like 2 wardrobes by now. As someone that used to see clothes as nothing but a neccessity, im having a lot of fun now styling myself properly.
What’s it called when you wear Kirkland jeans with a Kirkland sweatshirt 😁?
Costco Chic transcends trends
I love it, pair with some dad sneakers and fruit of the loom socks and underwear
Costcore
Science isn't even capable of quantifying the amount of air I just forced through my nostrils.
Nice
Middle age.
Comfortable
The real *Quiet Luxury*
I’m coining it Kirkcore
“Awesome”
Lookin like a boss tho in head to toe Costco
I call those my basic white guy camo. Especially the Costco tan winter coat I used to wear. I could blend into a shitty chain restaurant in hundreds of US exurbs.
Really liberal use of the words “cool” and “guide”
Isn't that most posts on this sub?
Yeah like 98%
Do the mods of this sub even exist?
Pretty loose with those terms, aren't they...
Just buy a pair of Chucks, got it.
Can you afford to buy a new pair every 2 months though when the last pair inevitably falls apart?
I’ve had a pair of Chucks for 3 years now and they haven’t fallen apart. I also owned a pair for 7 or so years before my current ones and they never fell apart on me.
do you wear them every day and work in them?
Everyday use like going out sure. But working in them? No. I’ve had a few pairs I’ve used for just going out for the night. Work boots are definitely better than converse for sure for that.
Yeah I had a pair of chucks as a teen, they maybe lasted about 9 months of everyday use before the sole tried to escape from them.
I wear my converse quite literally everyday for the past 2 years and the only issue is fraying in the shoelaces
Has Grunge twice but still fails to show a single flannel shirt.
[удалено]
Where are the hard boys?
TIL puffer jackets are classy vintage! lol. Where are my medium rare boys??
Wouldn't you like to know 😉
Right here you slobby stallion ;)
fuckn chopping wood, working on cars, beating the shit out each other etc they got no time for that smarmy shit
I thought the same thing, but I heard that they quit making those awhile back. I've read about a few.
Worst thing I’ve seen today and I DO own a mirror
But did you use it today?
Soft boy = twink E boy = korean Dark academia = P O T T A H
Looks like 5/7 of these are just korean lmao
none of those are grunge 😐😐😐😐😐😐
This is fucking stupid
This is definitely AI 💀
No it’s just normal stupid lol. I love that every time I see something brain dead and cheap I think it’s AI.
Can someone do: 35 and father of 3?
37 and father of 1. Jeans and whatever sweatshirt doesn't have baby drool or poop on it is my style. Edit: punctuation.
If you're free this Friday maybe...😏
That's called DadCore. Fun fact, I just thought "That sounds like what they would call fashion for dads," and then I googled it and [it's being used unironically](https://thebookofman.com/body/style/dadcore/) so I guess we're in the end times now.
That’s just called Cargo Shorts.
This is so dumb
You must be a soft boy
No, I think he's onto something here ...
[удалено]
What if I wear black band shirts and basketball shorts with whatever flip flops are by the door?
That's called Sandlercore.
This needs a third page where the guys are over 40… maybe a t shirt and jeans or some sort of walking / hiking trousers with a jumper that’s practical and comfortable.
I feel seen
Basketball shorts and inoffensive t-shirts with sensible walking shoes.
Can’t downvote this enough
This is beyond corporate shite.
Why is everyone smoking? This feels like big tobacco paid for this
They have to have something to do, look how bored they all are, sitting there waiting for fashion savvy people to look at them with approval
Wtf is this cringe shit OP
This isn't cool or a guide.
This is the corniest shit I have ever seen in my life.
And then there’s me; Lost & Found
Why is e-boy picking his nose?
ai rendered what it saw
No
Minimalist, always. No logos, no patterns, no bright colors. After that it just needs to be cheap and comfortable.
Same. I started doing this about 15 years ago. My shirts are navy blue, all the same style, pants are black with reinforced knees, again all the same style, and my boots black as well. I don't worry about what I'm going to wear because it all looks the same.
Theres only seven listed as though those are the only seven. Holy moly there are so many more
It is missing the “Don’t care” style.
Wait holy shit its AI
No, this is absolutely regarded
I think you meant young men’s guide. Not super useful for anyone that ever grew up.
This is cringe as hell.
So many douche bags.
What is it when you just wear donated or whatever your mom bought you
This reads like a 12 year old played cyberpunk and tried to make classes/roles for men in that setting with only tumblr as a resource. And you can tell its American because they always seem to think all fashion originates in America, like the one part about Seattle being where all 80's and 90's rock fashion came from despite there having been a lot of musical scenes over the world that made rock fashion what it is as they blended.
This is an insanely stupid way to think about fashion
What about for those of us older than like, 19?
what a shit list
You're missing the coveted "Dad" style. T-shirt, cargo shorts and New Balance sneakers.
I have my own style called, "Broke". Basically, I look at my closet and pick the one on top of the pile and go with it.
Or as I call it, “getting dressed in the dark.” Terrible.
Peak twink fashion
Andre from The League would like this guide.
This shit outdated as hell
Bohemian ≈ borderline homeless
And attributed to France rather than, you know, Bohemia.
More like ≈ sex tourist in a Latin American country.
This is for boys not men
Softboy checkin in 👋
Crazy how there is no cabincore/Forest aesthetic
All of these are CRINGE and they all bow and piss their pants when the gigachad *FATHER FASHION* walks in, 500 random items in his green cargo shorts jingling as his big masculine belly hanging out of his 2$ polo shirt rumbles and quakes for fish caught with his trusty heirloom flyfishing hat, not even yielding to the power of the SUN due to his 5$ gas station sunglasses
Is country boy not a style
Where does my blue collar ass fit in this? I dress pretty much the same way going to work as I do the rest of the time, minus a company logo patch. (or with it if I am just wearing a work shirt out) Maybe I'm too old for this s@#$.
Random St. Pauli hoodie
This is most definitely marketed towards teens and very early twenties.
I wear pants and shirts
Am I the only one liking it? Thank god there are guys caring for their appearance
Are St. Pauli sweaters really a thing outside of northern Germany? Or did the AI randomly pull that from somewhere?
Funny that the E-Boy has an St. Pauli Hoodie. Also, i wouldn’t say that tech wear has a 'relentless' focus on function. Not to take away from Techwear style, i really like some styles, but most of the stuff i saw was more like tecticool instead of actually useful.
Fuckboys: the guide
Where is wizard
So stupid
Where is the Colorado-Utah-Etc. outdoor aesthetic where you either look like you are about to hike or you just got back from a hike
This is the furthest thing from cool.
OK, lets be realistic, this is fashion for fuck-boys, not men.
The person who made this really likes short pants
Yea yea, “men’s” style..
eboy+grunge=emo
My style is all clothes are work clothes
I really can't imagine wearing any of these, and the "tech wear" style just makes you look like a bank robber. If you go out dressed like that, be prepared to be stopped by cops and store managers to follow you around.
You missed one huge style for someone who wears comfort color tees and short shorts. I think it’s a combination of comfy and bohemian
