Caps with a straight visor - reflections on the clothes of public rappers

The realities of life in our state dictate the manifestation of the fact that all processes and trends in our country differ from similar factors in other countries. Fashion in this aspect has not stayed aside, it is possible to say with confidence that in the territory of our state this concept has become something extensible and indefinite. Of course, not every citizen of our country can afford to buy expensive boutiques that offer designer clothes, but 98% of people who are constantly in public dress exclusively in the latest fashion models produced by the world's most famous brands. Of course, a public person understands that his appearance greatly influences the achievement of success and the attitude of others in general. However, many citizens still can not understand this incontrovertible fact. To a cohort of such "uncomprehending" are representatives of a very popular youth subculture - rappers. Of course, we will not persuade every young man to buy his own t-shirts and wear only caps with a straight visor, sold in designer clothes stores. The rapper's cap should remain a rapper's cap, it is not worth going to extremes, but it should be understood that the lack of funds to buy expensive clothes does not mean that you do not need to create your own style. Every self-respecting person, let alone an artist should strive to create his own image. The one who has the means, there is an opportunity to involve the designer in this process, and the one who does not have it, it is possible to dress quite decently, using already ready-made things.

It's probably stupid to give concrete examples of good taste in clothes or examples of disrespect for one's own appearance, and therefore to others. Nobody can say with 100% confidence, for example, that caps with rapper's straight visor, familiar to everyone - it's bad, and caps with a straight visor, custom-made by an overseas designer - it's good, but for some moments it's still worth it note. We are talking about the need to create your own visual image on the example of the fundamentals on which the rapper subculture rests. Now southern music is in fashion, which came to us from the US, as well, and the fashion for rap. If so, why deny the influence of Western culture on ours? This fact should be accepted as a matter of course and it is necessary to reconcile with it. Many, by the way, did so. The same way should go and fashion. No one can say that he saw with his own eyes a Negro rapper who dressed in an inappropriate way. Why is this happening? The fact is that the US style of clothing is not a stereotype, but represents a long-established tradition that no one dares to violate.

Many people tend to think that if you walk in rapper clothes through the streets, those around you that are not related to the rapper subculture will "point your finger" and laugh (as if they have nothing more to think about except in which direction the caps are deployed A direct visor on the rappers). In part, this phenomenon takes place, but the rappers themselves, or rather their individual representatives, are to blame. After all, if every rapper was dressed in accordance with the traditions, and would walk along the streets, it is unlikely that someone would have laughed and generally paid attention to him.

The above thoughts are by no means an appeal to the copying of American rappers, they are also not aimed at offending any particular person or several people. Just think: hip-hop fashion includes several hundred different directions, and on the shelves you can find anything you like in a wide variety: T-shirts, sneakers, sneakers, caps with a straight visor and much more. Everyone has the right to choose how to dress for walks or performances. But do not forget that the sooner people who are not related to youth subcultures and do not share their views, will understand that rappers have a single style, the faster these rappers will be taken seriously as a group of young people who simply have their own view of things and perception of the world. Only for the sake of this it is worth to dress with taste.
