Show your colors: my newest rant

I feel the need to rant about something that has been bothering me lately.  For some reason, we have this obsession with how others dress and their general style.  Today, my own professor talked about hipsters and they way they dress.  This isn't the first time she has brought this up and I keep wondering why she spends so much time on this topic.  What is her problem with how certain people dress?  She was saying how they all dress the same in their tight jeans and thick framed glasses.  So what?  Everyone has their own style.  There was a time I was walking down the street and some dude who thought he was funny shouted "hipster" at me maybe because I was wearing my thick glasses (which I actually use so I can see things).  I was confused at first, but then realized there was nothing to dwell on because this person probably just thought he was being funny.  He can have his moment, I really don't care.  I always wonder why people feel this sense of entitlement that says" I am the definition of what is fashionable."  Fuck you, that's bogus.   A typical "bro" may wear a hat that's slightly off his head and to the side.  So what?  Does it really bother people that much?  Then there is what many like  to call "The Biddie Parade."  These girls wear short skirts and low cut shirts and people always make their snide remarks about this.  However, in their defense, they probably end up getting the attention of others around them. They may use it to their benefit to get cheaper drinks and whatnot.  Essentially, they win.  So what is our problem with the way others dress?  It could be out of jealousy.  I don't waste my time with criticizing others because I see it as a from of discrimination.  One could see it as profiling, based on how someone dresses.  Honestly, everyone has their own style and it's easier to accept it rather than be a cynic.  Criticizing someone else's style is implying that you know better and you've got it right.  Dress the way that makes you happy.  Don't let anyone else influence you, you're better than that.
