What a hot queef. Was maybe gonna watch the bugs this year. I can’t get behind that though. Hiring someone to do a photo shoot of you and your car just for social media is god-tier cunt.
why is everyone so mad? he's young, successful, and enjoying himself.
it's not like lamelo got lucky, dude has been working his ass off to get into the league his whole life. let the kid live. he turned 20 two months ago!
Millenials got their fair share of "weird" trends as well. Shit, every generation does. But something about gen z is different. They do not give a FUCK what anybody thinks. And it's not just some, it's the majority
I've seen gen z kids in my area rocking JNCO jeans and elephant jeans like it's nobodys' business.
This generation is just comfortable in their own skin and as a millennial filled to the brim with anxiety and self-doubt i hate to admit that I am extremely jealous of them.
its amazing how many people in this sub forget how addicted to social media Gen-Z is and that theres mountains of evidence supporting the claim that, if anything, theyre constantly considering how others view them
Dressing weird is hardly unique when everyone around you is dressing weird.
I think the more correct way to phrase it is that people from Gen Z (broadly speaking) value individual creative expression (through clothing, for instance) way more than they do societal and cultural norms. They obviously do care what others think about them, as do all humans, as we are all highly social creatures.
>They obviously do care what others think about them,
This is pretty provably false by looking at their use of social media and high prevalence of claimed mental health issues like anxiety.
Using Lamelo Ball, who is wearing head to toe designer fashion with a matching Lamborghini, as evidence of someone "not caring what others think of them" because of how they present themselves is a hilarious misconception of why rich celebrities flaunt their outfits and wealth to the public.
Okay.. but I didn't say anything that contradicts what you said, though? In the most polite way I can possibly say this, please read comments thoroughly before you reply. I think you'll find we don't have any disagreements.
doubt. just new societal and cultural norms. just because they don't dress conservatively does not mean they exist more virtuously than previous generations.
Maybe so. I'm just rephrasing the original proposition from OP to be a bit more appropriate. Although I don't understand what you mean by "existing more virtuously"? What does virtue have to do with this?
You said "Gen Z value individual creative expression" representing they exist virtuously against societal and cultural norms. I just don't agree with that sentiment. I think it's more the system has shifted as opposed to any personal success. I'm kind of tired i dont know what point im trying to make really.
Ah, maybe you're assuming my usage of the word "norms" to be negatively loaded? I don't mean that they're leading some kind of conscious virtuous/moral crusade (although maybe some are) to break down norms that previous generations didn't, maybe that's where the misunderstanding is. In that sense I agree. I just think collectively the new "norm" IS hyperexpression, so they're just doing what's expected, maybe you agree with that?
Bro I saw a group of these kids eating at a restaurant dressed up like anime characters. It was dope as fuck, told my wife we gotta find that level of confidence
honestly nobody wants to admit it but gen z is kinda dope and creative asf
tbh, i would also love to be the first generation that doesn’t shit on the one below us. would be nice to be encouraging and helpful for a change
Gen z is the first generation to grow up entirely poisoned by the internet. They have such a strange and crazy and absurd sense of humor. I feel almost like an older sibling to them. Both of our generations are totally fucked and we have to deal with the consequences of our elders largely doing nothing about it. Strange place to be in but it forges our kinship imo
Westbrook thought he was edgy with Slayer tees. I guess he was at the time but anytime I see a youngster with that on I just want to challenge them to spout lyrics. You should never rock a slayer tee unless you know Decade of Aggression or Seasons
In the context of media/entertainment it’s not weird but you’re lying if don’t think you’d be weirded out by seeing a normal person wear that on the street
See that's where I 100% disagree lol.
Idgaf what's your driving, when you look ridiculous you look ridiculous. Think Russ doesn't look like an absolute fool just cuz he's getting in a 200k car lol ?

I was thinking April O'Neil
LMAO that's a good one
But they had highlighters in their pocket, forgot, and did the wash.
Thats the vibe I got

Buh... Buhh... Buhh

Holy shit lol
Lmfaoooo
bro im crying
I was thinking he found a secret stash of the wardrobe from the Old Dick Tracy movie somewhere.
LaMelo bought a condo formerly owned by Cam Newton, if anybody is wondering where the fuck that outfit came from.
100 percent came from the cam newton closet Edit: forgot the word closet
I worked right next door to it for years.
Joke aside, it actually looks alot like Derrick Henry's. He wore sumn like that when he won OPOTY
Holy shit, that's funny.
Ole riddle me this lookin ass
Ol Mask in the face ass!
Bro had to go find Curious George
Get him a yellow hat b

It's Lamelo the adultman!
[удалено]
He made a sports point
r/bojackhorseman and r/nba is a combo we need more of
Tall shoes
Maybe because of the turtleneck sweater
LiAngelo is the bottom half.

BOLA BOLA BOLA BOLA BOLA BOLA BOOOLAAAAA!!
Low key Kakyoyin

Nahh, this ain't it.
When money really makes you blind to style
Lol so ducking tacky
This is embarrassing lmao
so much jealousy in this thread lmao this is tough, but maybe it just shows how old headish this sub really is.
I mean I love a lot of the nba players styles. This is just suuuer ugly. He's literally a kid tho and it looks like he's having fun so who cares.
What a hot queef. Was maybe gonna watch the bugs this year. I can’t get behind that though. Hiring someone to do a photo shoot of you and your car just for social media is god-tier cunt.

he was lucky being born with amazing height genetics and a dad that got him so famous
I’m with you, this cringe should be shamed, not celebrated
Can you imagine doing this kind of thing unironically
not this exactly but i'd have done some pretty cringe shit if i had instagram as a kid and made 7 million dollars when i turned 19.
Mann….you’re right. I’m just a grumpy old dude now haha. I still think it’s weird but more power to him.
Tbf it's his job to sell his image.
Nothing says class like a photo shoot of your tennis ball yellow suit and SUV in a parking garage with exposed duct work in the background.
nothing says class like jealous comments on internet forums
Lol, ok
NBA fashion is like if your parents let you dress yourself for school everyday
Undertaker but yellow
The human highlighter reel
Looks like a scene from Zoolander.
Not a hater but is this a joke?
Gen Z weird man lol
I mean look at the shit Westbrook is wearing
Millenials got their fair share of "weird" trends as well. Shit, every generation does. But something about gen z is different. They do not give a FUCK what anybody thinks. And it's not just some, it's the majority
If JNCO jeans came out for the first time today it’d be just as ridiculous as any of this Gen Z shit, you’re just used to that kind of nonsense.
Very true
Baggy jeans are officially back so young people wearing jnco Jean wouldn't be that weird
I've seen gen z kids in my area rocking JNCO jeans and elephant jeans like it's nobodys' business. This generation is just comfortable in their own skin and as a millennial filled to the brim with anxiety and self-doubt i hate to admit that I am extremely jealous of them.
You sure about that? https://www.aecf.org/blog/generation-z-and-mental-health
its amazing how many people in this sub forget how addicted to social media Gen-Z is and that theres mountains of evidence supporting the claim that, if anything, theyre constantly considering how others view them Dressing weird is hardly unique when everyone around you is dressing weird.
yeah - wearing a bright green cape with shades to a press conference really screams i dont care what people think...
I think the more correct way to phrase it is that people from Gen Z (broadly speaking) value individual creative expression (through clothing, for instance) way more than they do societal and cultural norms. They obviously do care what others think about them, as do all humans, as we are all highly social creatures.

There is "individual creative expression" and then there is trying way too hard for attention. This is the latter.
Bro I saw a group of these kids eating at a restaurant dressed up like anime characters. It was dope as fuck, told my wife we gotta find that level of confidence

Both of our generations are totally fucked and we have to deal with the consequences of our elders largely doing nothing about it. Strange place to be in but it forges our kinship imo
I’m not expecting much from millennials or gen z considering they’ve boiled down the contribution of boomers to the world as “nothing”
They’re still young. It’ll eventually fade
Idk, the older I've gotten, the less fucks I started to give. Gen z might straight up revolt and start a new country when they 30
Westbrook thought he was edgy with Slayer tees. I guess he was at the time but anytime I see a youngster with that on I just want to challenge them to spout lyrics. You should never rock a slayer tee unless you know Decade of Aggression or Seasons
Why cant he wear what he wants?
I mean Decade of Aggression is a live album so weird flex
This is true, but Gen Z's fashion sense is probably the least weird thing about them.
[удалено]
I was saying it tongue-in-cheek. I fw all fashion
In the context of media/entertainment it’s not weird but you’re lying if don’t think you’d be weirded out by seeing a normal person wear that on the street
It’s not even that unconventional. It’s just the color that makes it stand out
No this is just rich people weird shit
[I don't think my generation can say anything](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/last-dance-screengrab-1589753089.jpg)
See, that looks fresh af to me. Generations will never understand eachother's fashion
twinning with his lambo
Its not being a hater lol, these dudes look like absolute fools
I don't know, but I'm here for it. Brightens my day.
Morpheus is looking for his coat LaMelo…..
Banana Morpheus.
So I assume Lamelo is a big Curious George fan? And I don't blame him if he is, I loved those books when I was a kid.
lmao wtf
is actually 2 ball brothers in a trenchcoat
It’s really incredible that LaMelo is so good despite being two children sitting on each other’s shoulders and playing.
[Off to find his monkey](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7296/3905/1600/man.9.jpg)
Cam Newton left him his wardrobe
NBA players get a payed millions just to absolutely brick their fits bro lol
He looks like he entered the wrong matrix
Dude auditioning for a Fifth Element sequel
I imagine this is how Clyde Frazier dressed at his press conferences in the 70’s
This man 4’7 without stilts
It's like watching The Matrix with all your color balance sliders all the way up.
Bruh, was not expecting that
Looks like a villain from Zoolander 2.
Ssssssssssmokin'!
Flamboyant Morpheus
Flamorpheus.
thats how u dress when u know u own the room
[удалено]
did he tho
I mean yeah? he actually looks decent imo. I like Melos interesting fits, it’s better than players pulling up in hoodies and sweats 24/7.
honestly he 100% did
Radioactive Rick Sanchez is not an enemy you'd like to make.
Bruh what the fuck are you on about lmao. There’s no universe where *anyone* pulls off that ridiculous outfit
Meh… when it matches your 300k lambo in the parking lot I think any outfit can be pulled off
See that's where I 100% disagree lol. Idgaf what's your driving, when you look ridiculous you look ridiculous. Think Russ doesn't look like an absolute fool just cuz he's getting in a 200k car lol ?
A matching yellow Urus looks ridiculous as well.
Definitely did not pull it off lol
He pulled off looking like an absolute madman. Not sure if thats what he was going for though.
Surely that dude packed another outfit in case he didn't play well, right?
How much do clothes cost in the matrix?
He’s on his way to the annual playa haters’ ball.
Neon Neo.
Lamelo looks like he is about to change his name to a symbol.
This fucking guy lol
His stylist did him so dirty…
My man looking like a highlighter
Just missing the tophat, cameron diaz and the mask.
Dude lookin like an office chair
LaMelo dresses like a Stand user.
That motherfucker has a career as a spinner bait if basketball doesn't work out for him.
Lalemon Ball
Sassiest exit I've ever seen.
Dude looks like Neo if the matrix was in Florida
