I'm ranting (miss used terms)

[QuinnSparrow]

I always feel like some cranky old lady when I ever complain but there's just some things that just really... well get my panties in a bunch. One being the miss using of a term specially in fashion. Mostly terms like Haute Couture, Couture or High Fashion. I love fashion and I don't think the fact that I hate mass produced shit effects that in anyway. Couture is the business of designing, making, and selling fashionable custom-made women's clothing. No less than 90% of Haute Couture is hand sewn. (I will never be able to afford that.) And yes Juicy Couture for it's name sake alone angers me the fact that they are most known for sweat suits pisses me off even more. I'm sorry but I don't see anything high fashion about some drawstring sweat pants no matter what they're made of. However draw string silk slacks are lovely. On top of big businesses using this as some half ass attempt at a market scheme I hate even more when individual sellers on ebay do it. They will throw in every word they can think of to make some crappy I glued some lace on to this crappy attempt at god knows what more appealing when in fact they fail. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it! Please make this stop, someone!

Also for everyone one except Megwa THAT'S NOT LOLITA! stop basterising my favorite fashion.

Dr. Foofer: Victoria's Secret is the tramp-stamp of society.... :)

But I agree with ya. I have the same kind of tangent rants for music. People think they can label anything and be right... If you're going to label, at least do the research to not look like a moron, eh?

There's so many sub categories of music it makes it so confusing I tick o the basics

Country
Rock
Pop
Rap
Hip Hop
Crap

though sometimes I throw in indie or electronica

[houdinizucchini]

That's fine. But when you try and use the detailed labels and get it wrong... insisting that you're right... like say, putting something classified as 'punk' under 'techno' (which has happened in my presence, by the way)... Yeah, I get kinda angry. Lolz.

Music nazi over here, woot.
