Fads, Styles, and Being Hip

Looking hip involves low rise jeans, the distressed look, lingerie on the outside, hoodies, miniskirts, and a little body mutilation for the teenage girl. We discuss boy and girl styles on this issue of Generations, and ask the question, 'Is it wrong to be hip?' What about the conformity mentality? And what worldview is being portrayed by the dress styles of the day?

Anybody concerned about style is going to be sending a message by what they wear. So what's that message? That's the question Kevin Swanson drills in as he grapples with the intensely relevant issue of fads, styles, and status symbols.
