ARE YOUNG HYPEBEASTS RUINING THE STREETWEAR CULTURE?

[@efangillie342]

wouldn't say all teenagers that follow streetwear are hype beasts though

[@SI-cd7xs]

they aren't, european street wear is it's own thing. aside from the american influenced skateboarder stuff stuff i don't see what they have in common...brands like supreme and say stone island couldn't be further apart.

[@mohamedizlanshah1501]

There is no pressure to stay on trend, to me at least. Once you've found your style, there isn't a need to be hype anymore. Just stick to your own individual style. If you like the way you look, that's good enough. No need for supreme,bape etc. To me, I only buy pieces that I actually find nice. I think more people need to buy stuff that they personally like, and not stuff that will get them likes on Instagram and make them the coolest kid. And for kids, below 16, don't be a hypebeast. Spend your time, playing around, laughing, enjoying the simple things. Once you've started working, then you can be as hype as you want.Not trying to hate, just sharing my thoughts. :)

[@someyoutubeshit]

Mohamed Izlanshah on point

[@jackt846]

Mohamed Izlanshah I'm 14 and I work, should I be a hypebeast

[@charlesgalliard1735]

JackT nah

[@vintage_hart6392]

Supreme and Bape sucks. I see no one wearing Polo Country Necks, except me, but most people I see don't know how to wear it.

[@drock1717]

You can be a hype beast and still have have fun , this isn’t the nineties anymore. we have more opportunities to do stuff and make money then back then. Just because it is different then what it used to be you don’t have to hate

[@mohammednaqvi6794]

Short answer, yes, anyone under 16 should stay at school instead of going to drops lmao

[@mohammednaqvi6794]

Under 18 tbh

[@InsertCustomURL]

Rambo 301 nah, resellers maybe, but people who cop for themselves is fine

[@jjjdwtztztz]

Rambo 301 age doesn't mean anything as long as they actually have a love for fashion and aren't doing it to look good and end up wearing it wrong or not taking care of the street wear etc.

[@dream-tx6kb]

TX2Wakey Fashion will not pay your bills and your foods so these young fuckboys should first go to school .

[@otistapping2460]

Rambo 301 people can be interested in what they want to be

[@alexholden1288]

This kid says you can't leave your house without trying to impress people... smh I think streetwear is cool, but My generation needs to put this kind of effort into getting good grades and creating a future for themselves rather than obsessing over clothing; the only people you're impressing are other hypebeasts.

[@RiseUpToYourAbility]

Dude that is all part of growing up. You’re talking like an adult not a kid. When I was a kid I bummed money off my parents to buy Pokémon and yu go oh cards so I can impress my friends with a shiny blue eyes.

[@FM-vs5hk]

this is sick, need more videos like this

[@thesolesupplier]

FM thanks bro, definitely - stay tuned

[@Cl3arrd]

The answer is yes. The young ass hypebeasts that are copping supreme, palace, etc. are lacking in some other department, because more than half the kids I see wearing that shit just look straight cringe

[@RiseUpToYourAbility]

Every generation has their own cringe moments. For my generation it was things like frosted tips. Kids will always look “cringe”. It’s all part of the circle life.

[@Iameveryone1011]

For me streetwear was always about presenting a certain culture, brands like supreme and palace are skate based designs but its kinda strayed away from the skate culture considering everything's priced to shit (not to mention the design is next to nothing). i like brands like clsc, the hundreds (eventhough quality can be a little dodgy) cause that sort of reflected on LA culture. When I look at box logo, it doesn't reflect anything aside from the brand itself. I feel we're on a path where people just wanna be walking ads with brands on their chest. there's no culture to that. *streetwear without culture is just fashion*. in a certain number of years graphics are gonna come back when branding becomes boring. I'm already bored of branding tees...

[@nafri2823]

Muhammad Lukman underrated comment

[@Iameveryone1011]

Most people dont want to listen to the truth, they just wanna follow their idols (celebrities, influencers) which i dont mind. At the end of the day man, its your money. Do whatever you want with that. Just realize that these things are trends and there's gonna be a time where the hype dwindles down.

[@pannenkoekspek]

No skateboarder would be seen in that shit.

[@theannexe]

Interesting video guys. From when I was really into it (early 2000s) to now it is massive. Had a break from about 06-15with money used for house/wedding/kids (growing up basically), and now it's mental. Gotta be a social media influence. Back in the day it was just what was cool in your city (Leeds for me), or what your favourite independents were dropping. But most stuff was accessible. Now it's a real struggle via online drops and hype/overhype to get the bits you want (albeit I mainly just focus on trainers now, I think clothing is down that line too). As said, nice different type of video 👌

[@MoMu00]

The first time I met Mini Swoosh, she got me a pair of shoes from the back in Foot Patrol lol

[@S1YouTube]

Excellent documentary. Great work, keep it up.

[@thesolesupplier]

Saami Ahmed thanks bro

[@DnAkicks]

Great video and amazing set of questions (too bad not everyone understood them properly ... LOL - 23 Min? You got me awake for this long!! Liked the documentary for real! Keep up the good work boys

[@alans1965]

Don't let these little kids fool you with "I flipped a sweater for ...."... the sell a $100 sweater for $110 before shipping and fees, parents pay for shipping and then on drop day they say... "aww my baby is a business man 😌here you got $500 for today's drop go get them tiger! "

[@keezytv7854]

🤣🤣😂😂

[@iandope]

expensive wear still doesnt fix his look. just saying.

[@yusufalli11]

Really like this type of video. This documentary is very interesting and cool. Love the videos please keep them up

[@ReedMySole]

Is water wet? Is an elephant heavy ??

[@Morgan-ws1ng]

Rm_Sole heaviness is relative. Water isn't wet. Wetness is a description of our experience of water; what happens to us when we come into contact with water in such a way that it impinges on our state of being. We, or our possessions, 'get wet'.

[@thesolesupplier]

if a tree falls and nobody is around, does it make a sound?

[@ReedMySole]

The Sole Supplier lmao yes sound are waves

[@harris2100]

its a metaphor idiot

[@ReedMySole]

The comments are ruthless.

[@piedwagtailrameau]

Great programme - you've managed to answer the questions I was thinking about regarding this trend.

[@mikeillgaming4224]

The guy from patta was dead on... around 05-about 2010 the feeling for street wear was different... now it's a little weird ... I think social media is helping and hurting...when I see people with supreme... I think they weird off rip .... mainly because I don't think they really love the brand or fashion but just following the hype

[@yusufalli11]

Also, please keep up the fashion videos, they're really good and really fun to watch

[@StrayDongle]

Nice informative vid. Keep up the good work!

[@othnielmichael2638]

My nigga wearing a jacket and it's 30*C

[@thesolesupplier]

Othniel Michael it's a windrunner haha as you can see it's pretty windy

[@Pro-habits]

It's all about The Hype if it wasn't hyped nobody would ever cop !

[@yusufalli11]

Please make some more vids like this and more cop, drop and resell. LOVING the vids🙌🏻

[@loganfrench8114]

This such a good documentary, credits to camera guy aswell them shots are sick

[@oliverkavanagh33]

Wonder if 'mini swoosh' ever thought about the people slaving away in 3rd world countries.

[@0ona]

do you?

[@eblurky]

Just do it slav

[@KingNChakky]

mini swoosh sounds like the typical thicko north londoner

[@lucaslucas9505]

KingNChakky she's from Canada 🤦‍♂️

[@lucaslucas9505]

Tony Bamanaboni *canadian

[@Joethefro456]

Just innovate your own style. If there's something that I see bare spotty 13 year using mummy's money to buy bits I'll wear something different. You gotta stay creative

[@joeo2628]

Great video bro, keep up the good work

[@moda7090]

Nice minidoc guys!The videoquality is great too

[@Xeniumnebula]

Best video I've seen on this channel very informative

[@thesolesupplier]

Jorge Miranda - thanks bro

[@FilmDat]

Dope vid. When I was more in to streetwear (2003 - 2010) it felt more like a fun community. Of course, there were gems that cost a shitload of money and there have been tons of nights where I set my alarm to put a bid on something on eBay, but at the same time people loved to help each other out. Sharing info, meeting up, trading items (for normal prices), it wasn't just about the hype, consuming, reselling and narcissism. It was just a fun hobby. There seems to be way more pressure nowadays, which sucks. E.g. I don't get why people feel the need to be dressed in hype head to toe. Sure, buy some dope pieces, but combine it with whatever and spend some more money on other things like a nice holiday with your friends. Great memories are forever, a Supreme hoody is not.

[@InsertCustomURL]

Didn't even mention bape?

[@popz6865]

for real how is patta considered more hype than bape

[@mohammednaqvi6794]

Popz because bape is seen as a joke

[@dunkno69]

if you're buying post-nigo bape, then please leave

[@oliwalker8931]

wtf hahaha hardly anyone resells patta u mug

[@anonymousinternetperson9068]

InsertNameHere Clearly Patta was the only store they could get an interview with so as a result they made up a bigger part of the video.

[@33trader]

young resellers just take advantage of the situation, the brands themselves and people who pay resell are ruining the culture

[@oPeaRo]

Wait so your saying that the people that don't cop for retail then actually want to wear the clothes so they pay resell are ruining the culture. Mate your dumb

[@GustavMenander]

oPeaRo People that are buying stuff for retail are ruining the culture, because if people didn't buy stuff for the resellers then the resellers won't be trying resell, use your brain next time

[@swany_]

If I use multiple devices for adidas confirmed with the same name and get more than 1 pair, would the store let me buy all the pairs I get?

[@voyager1369]

I mainly watched this because Josh is so cute. But he also turned out to be a good interviewer. Most intriguing was Alexandra Hackett of Mini Swoosh and Damo from Patta.

[@lil_tungsta]

Yikes. Everyone in this video is wearing such boring clothing... :/

[@anonymouschip3886]

Quality is mad on this 👌🏼

[@tempestlycan7948]

I'm a New Zealander and I've been wanting to resell but there's not any hyped brands in New Zealand. How would I get around buying pieces and selling them

[@TheLiwanra]

Man I graduated in 92 and never heard of Supreme. What year did they start.....growing up I had stussy, t&c, op, jimmyz, billabong, rugby shirts, guess, champion etc....

[@tobyappleyard7205]

Interesting. Love the content keep it up

[@tomyzarnaby]

Great vid x

[@jackt846]

really into Streetwear at the age of 14, love the hype brands and have enough to buy them (as I do a paper round) however I don't see the point as I will grow out of them

[@ChelseaFCMarcus]

JackT you can resell/trade for something the same price or even more

[@Wowzzful]

I think the zebra is definitely the best shoe because not only you can combine the shoe with unlimited style of cloth but also you can feel the satisfaction of wearing a unique shoe. (US 10.5 )

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

Trends have always been trends. And some people follow trends instead of being themselves.

[@alanbettley5012]

Fashion trends and youth have always gone hand in hand. The main difference from present and past is the money involved where punks, mods etc didn't send every penny on what they wore. Their is no longevity in it with kids as eventually we all grow up and money ain't so freely spent when the bills are due to be paid. I fear adulthood will be a massive culture shock for a lot of these kids.

[@nickshaw3572]

Really revealing how the Patta guy said the brands are trying to shut down reselling - presumably because it harms their market. ‘The biggest threat to the culture’. Culture and consumerism are the same thing to him.

[@armandocolon9019]

Nice Video man

[@louisslatter8231]

this is too lit, good work bro

[@edgtmorris]

Yes, they are

[@EdisonWong]

Personally I don't really understand why young people so obsessed with these kind of popularised street wear (no offence), it's kind of like an uniform with a well marketed brand logo on it, that's it no? Will they even appreciate fashion brand like Craig Green, Christopher Kane, No.21, Comme des Garcons etc. when they talk about that they are fashion savvy? I think street style should not make an individual become part of the street style genre, street style should make oneself an individual with personal style and aesthetic. Good video to discuss this issue thou! :)

[@yourmother8069]

young hypebeasts are the next generation of hypebeasts, they are not ruining it, they are keeping the culture alive.

[@dwainjoseph5308]

good vid this . nice lil watch

[@laks05]

I think now the word 'hypebeast' is something that the younger crowd are proud of having for some reason..

[@acuso1994]

I think the owners of these brands will never say that they don’t like hypebeast or youngster who get money from their parents to buy their products because it’s more customers and here’s a thought does exclusivity create hype or does hype make the demand go up which will make it harder to get making it exclusive?

[@TheArob]

Being 14 years old I resell (on the side) and I loaned money at the beginning but it's usually me buying now. I wear supreme/palace/yeezy etc. because I want a style of my own that people in my city want but usually can't buy

[@RavenD9510]

Complex did some real damage to the culture with that video. But just as all trends fade away, so will the hypebeasts.

[@unknownunknown772]

brainxmush tf? this is the sole supplier

[@ElleBellsChannel]

They've been here since the 90s. It was called ghetto fabulous.

[@oliverwright7891]

could have been a two second video. Just YES

[@mavriccirvam]

loved this

[@jackburtoft4549]

This is so good I would love to start my own brand one day

[@MrLionelrichtea]

Best vid you've done

[@dimetroz2092]

100% yes because most of the time they don’t really appreciate what they’re picking up like it’s either to sell or because their peers (you tubers etc) wear these

[@krishan9088]

looking to buy for myself from supreme/palace and had no luck online, how early do i need to turn up to their stores if i want to cop

[@mikeillgaming4224]

krishan kotecha get the supreme app

[@ashleywareing8208]

I have done all the steps for the giveaway great vid make more like these in the future

[@TheJosh1966]

Trends and fashions change. Supreme can't limit their supply for ever. They gotta expand like Nike and Adidas and be more international.

[@ImTooAbstract]

Josh Paulson they're a private company, they can do whatever they want

The hyped brands are dying it's all about the uniqueness of the low-key brands

[@oPeaRo]

Emmmmmmmm no

[@Pro-habits]

oPeaRo yes

[@mikeybacon1453]

That's the main reason Palace took of so much I think, as no one really knew about Palace until about 2015 unless you lived in London that is. I only found out about Palace when Wiz Khalifa started wearing in May 2015 when No Permission released then since then more rappers were seen wearing it and it blew up from there.

[@Pro-habits]

Mikey Bacon exactly it's all about the lowkey brands that people blow up wiz made a lot of brands popular he is part of a fashion company so I'm sure they lace dude up before the stuff even drops

[@Enlightenment99]

[@jeremycmustamu4344]

"Fashionable" = wearing the easiest hyped up outfits

[@maxconnolly4279]

[@alexbielovich]

Everything she says sound like a questiooon?

[@dunkno69]

since complex released that documentary, the culture has gone to shit. no one does it for the passion, most are sheep jus cos they saw rocky wear it so they have to wear it too

[@maxconnolly4279]

dunkno rocky barely wears that shit anymore tho, he more into his Dries, Raf, Balenciaga, Rick etc

[@yusufalli11]

This videos is actually sick

[@jesussierra9836]

The most expensive items I own would be the red Octobers and yeezy pirates

[@xTheHiddenLink]

what are people's opinion on the extent that streetwear is corrupt? e.g. backdoor and inside people would you say this is a relevant thought or not really? espescially brands like supreme and defo yeezy

[@simonbinguingi7733]

jesus christ what kind of camera did you use for those broll footage

[@CoffeeMadeMeSay]

I'll never wear Supreme or Palace. But I will wear Bape.

[@6ix835]

For the next one, suggest women and sneaker/streetwear culture. Segmentation is an interesting discovery...

[@Fuballgangster]

Great docu, but pls subtitles, for a foreign its very hard to understand.

[@The816Nick]

the answer is yes

[@samuelhernandez7392]

Good job

[@cookingwithkhalid1225]

it doesnt matter what hypebeast kids do, urban black kids will always be the trendsetters .

[@TieMyRetros]

Get your first purchase from your parents; just something small. Then sell it, make a profit, buy more with that money, repeat the cycle. Eventually you don't have to ask your parents for money but you can't afford to keep everything you own either.

[@gamecentrehd2552]

MY BROTHER IS JED PLZ BELIEVE ME LOVE YOU JED

[@JB-hj4rk]

lol

[@nathanwarren7667]

"Fashion is a part of me", but dressed in camo🤔

[@christ2576]

Well, I got that hypebeasts under 16 are bad but where do you generally expect from kids to get money if they are under 16?

[@Leviathanrko]

Imo no, with hypebeasts, you see everyone dressing the exact same, wearing the same exact shit. So it makes it easier to stand out by not wearing those brands and just being you

[@johnnysimsyo]

is water wet

[@14aowen]

I could see streetwear dying like the patta bloke said if it gets to big because people won't want to waste their time on supreme and palace where 1000's of people are going for the same thing and then the resale on that piece is so big that it's just not worth it

[@josephathey6026]

This is sick guys - I think kids shouldn't borrow from their parents for the sake of a hoodie but I don't think the next generation getting into street wear isnt a bad thing at all

[@jonathancramer4176]

I dunno guess because I'm a 90s kid I just don't get some shit that's a sign of my age I suppose lol. I understand the pressure of being a kid going to school and wanting to cop dope shit other kids are rocking . This whole "hypebeast" era is crazy. Y'all gonna spend like 500 dollars on a hoodie that says off white and "hoodie" on the front lol. I do get intro the sneaker culture but not hypebeast if that makes sense . Like retro kicks , I'm a sneaker head till the grave always have been . I just know that when I was coming up we didn't pay 300 dollars for a t-shirt maybe close to 2 on some kicks . I also understand times have changed and the price of shit has changed . The whole buying shoes and waiting until there sold out and reselling them for 800 bucks is crazy to me ...yeah it's a hustle but to me it's killing the sneaker head culture . I dunno what I'm trying to say lol . I guess every era repeats itself as of right now the fashion and style is a throwback to the 80s in a way ,the crazy bright colors etc. Give it a few more years the 90s style will come back every decade repeats itself . I'm just a old school sneaker head confused as the why certain shit is deemed 🔥

[@josephjohnphillips2535]

i mean i guess they are but like its not the culture's place to tell people who can and cant become part of the culture, or a lot of the older culture may have been told they cant become part of it because they'll ruin back when it wasnt trendy. Also, after the 'hype' (no pun intended) dies down about streetwear and different styles become trendy, then it will return to a more underground scene, think of old football hooligan style, burberry, adidas trainers and such, popular back in the day, now only those in the know pay attention to it, same will happen with streetwear

[@Clariccy]

it was normal wear for a certain demography and generations so it wasn´t about " may have been told they cant become part of it because they'll ruin back when it wasnt trendy. "

[@carlosh2050]

Dope video And yes, hypebeast kids r ruining the streetwear culture

[@kevinwolnik]

No, they aren't.

[@AZmotion]

ok but how are teens going to the supreme drops? what happened to education?

[@nottyche524]

Many people get there money off their parents especially kids. Some kids don't know how to work for there money. I worked for my money mowing lawns doing chores and sold many of my things.

[@Don_Dilla]

never wore supreme, it's a dead logo. also fashion doesn't have to be mad expensive. The whole point (to me at least) is to take inspiration or 'sample' a bit of this and a bit of that. have a mash up that says something about you. If you come up rocking a white supreme T. I'll not lie it's already a bad first impression.

[@envzz]

I have an offwhite hoodie and belt and thats all i want all you have to do to be able to buy it its really complex Step 1: get a job Step 2 : save
