Default Why do people leave shiny stickers on their new hats??

Pretty self-explanatory thread content here.... I saw a pic of one in Kizzle's thread about something-or-other knocking hard.

Anyone care to enlighten me??

Its just the style. I used to play basketball with this guy who would never lace his sneakers, even in hardass five on five games. I once asked him why, and that's exactly what he replied with "It's just the style, man." Some people just think some things look better than others.

I thought this fad died.. it's back?

It looks cheesy as ****. Like you have to show off your "authenticity".

I guess I've just never been walking down the street or something and had this come to mind:

"Oh man, thats a sweet fitted hat..... but wait, it is major league fitted, is it certifiably authentic???? How will I know if he spent the extra, what, $10, $20 on that hat??? It would make him cooler if he did."

*dude shifts position*

"There's the shiny sticker, now i KNOW he's for real"

You just need to lighten up in general. You must be annoyed by anything and everything. Why do trivial things like this bother you?

Well, "bruh," I guess i just don't define myself and others based on which manufactures labels I/they decide to keep on my garments after purchase.

You can have/enjoy style without being a douche, ya know.

Doesn't bother me, I just saw a stickered hat in a thread, an felt like asking a question.

Why does me asking the question (something equally trivial) bother you so much??
