There’s nothing cornier than a pay to play sub culture

The funny thing is hype beasts never died they switched from supreme, off white and Gucci to aimé leon dore, new balance ,gallery department, JJJJound , rick owens etc. The essence of being a hype beast is basically leeching off sub cultures of fashion that are deemed "hype" or "trendy" at that particular period of time with no genuine respect or understanding of that specific brand or style of dressing.🙂

AYE some of my videos made the cut! I really appreciate this video and I just wanted to say the amount of people and things referenced in this video is amazing. I often feel like people who talk about the death of this culture were never involved and even based off the comments, you can tell a lot of people just want to look for another reason to judge someone. I think people who judge others for being a "hypebeast" is just as bad as people judging others for not wearing some hyped brand. I feel like you came off really unbiased & I liked how you talked about it at the end. I feel like this is such a good summary of the culture and a lot of people will overlook exactly how good this sums it all up.

What’s funny is that hypebeast culture didn’t really die out, it just evolved. It’s not like one day all these people stopped and started wearing ordinary clothes. For example the opium aesthetic’s roots is in hypebeast culture. They just switched out the brands. Even Leo Mandella is quite respected now, wearing brands like Louis Vuitton instead of Supreme. I never owned anything by these brands but I remember it so vividly in 2015-19, I wanted it badly but I was young and couldn’t afford it. But even now my style has changed so much since and I’m grateful I never fell into it. But it’s still nice to reminisce about

With the Supreme Brick, I realized we had officially surpassed idiocrazy.

Great video. I was too cold at the time to understand the hype or care and here in Shanghai Surpeme was everywhere. Thanks for explaining it all.

Enjoyed this video. Brought back a lot of memories and nostalgia.

Glad i was too old and poor to get caught up in this clothing version of beanie babies.

Supreme's history and orgins in skateboarding, anti establishment and street culture is actually really cool. It's unfortunate that the toxic landscape that surrounded the brand during the 2010's turned people off from ever looking into it.

This was a fun time for me. Checkingnthe 100s blog, coveting my ice cream’s lol. I was a little 15 y/o emo kid blending that with street wear.

It's really a huge relief that this died out. The fact that I cant spend that much for those brands, I also realized that classic is always the best way to go.

This is the ultimate testament to the fact that people just want to be in a group and that the message doesn't matter. Anti-consumerist, ultra consumerist, anti capitalist, pro capitalist, it all doesn't matter please just want human connection and to be assured that they are not alone.

I never understood the Supreme craze. The insignia looks like the Colgate logo.

You make really good content🤝🏽

I used to be a reseller of Supreme and Yeezys. The first item I ever bought was the Scarface hoodie at 9:48. The graphic was terrible, yet some idiot still paid resale price to buy it from me. Very few of the items that I sold were actually of good quality and looked good, yet I managed to sell everything less than a couple of days after buying it. It always baffled me. Oh well, free money lol.

To me the worst part about people who were into street wear is they needed to be told how to be cool

I can't believe I'm nostaligic for the 2016-2018 hype beast era. Seems like a million years ago. Listening to Travis Scott Astroworld while looking at ridiculous clothing

Awesome video Jimmy
