At least with these designers you get something classic that can be mixed and matched, dressed up and down and can last a couple years. Dont shop anywhere where you see ripped holes in jeans, or a moose or a seagull. No more raise words on shirts either, unless its from Threadless. I have a feelthing the next thing we might hate is American Apparell…while I love it.. On the contrary, the truly famous people who live in LA embody all the things white people like, such as driving a Prius.
I am white and I do not care for Ed Hardy clothing. Whitey, all I can tell you is that self-acceptance is a long, meandering, and sometimes painful journey that everyone must take.
Ugh, I never heard of these shirts when I read this yesterday but I saw my first one today. Way to jinx me. Boxing dominated by Whites? The other day I went to the mall and was going to buy an Ed Hardy shirt.
But just one look at that photo of the T-shirts and the douchebags who are wearing them and I can now say with confidence that I hate people who wear Ed Hardy. Yeah portland is pretty white, most people in portland are the white people who were pushed out of San Fran a couple years back because of the high prices in real estate…But dont worry you will get to move back to california once most of mexico decides to go back…that should clear up a couple row houses….
Every white person knows that any t-shirt worn in public must be purchased in a thrift shop, feature an obscure band, or glorify a woman and child killing Cuban revolutionary. Come on now. And yes, SoCal is littered with these guys. My Uncle and first cousins live in the area so I get out there whenever I can. Girls are just tanner and blonder. The moment I laid eyes on Ed Hardy apparel, I hated it. It was one of the truest and deepest feelings I had ever experienced in regards to clothing.
Like white instinct- whinstinct, if you will. I saw someone with an Ed Hardy bag about a week ago and I was reminded of my deep loathing for Ed Hardy. Same thing goes for Angelina Jolie.
How exactly do you wear a swastika ironically? Paired with a keffiyah and a star of David? You youth show so much promise…. I totally laughed SO hard while reading this blog entry, and the comments that follow!
I am a 19 year old, white, female from Canada, who first found out about Ed Hardy from my uncle who is also a tattoo artist. I had thousands of dollars worth of really sick clothes from E. H that I gave to charity last summer bahaha.. I do think those shirts are ugly, but the reason I started hating them was that I only see douchebags wearing those. Not going to lie. I find his stuff repugnant. I guess Ed Hardy manages to hit all of my hatred buttons. Or are you saying that this hatred of t-shirts is not reciprocated by the t-shirts?
Enough with that damn bird already! We hate Ed Hardy too. What achievements exactly? I deal only with Diet Coke. They do serve a purpose though. I feel bad for Ed Hardy. But then again, they make the choice to go there. Ed hardy clothing is owned by Christian Audigier. I just understand how his actions could make him a hero in many minds.
Killings for any reason is wrong in my opinion, but he felt that the revolution needed to be done. He actually did make small steps towards the betterment of the people.
A combination of heart, intelligence, and the ability to show up at the gym on time with a good attitude is my best guess. Today I saw an Asian girl 11 with bangs wearing Ed Hardy. I am confused; would a white person like this or not? The cool half like angelina because she was the first female action star, and she she actually helps people….
Of course not. Ed Hardy is always unacceptable attire regardless of the race and hairstyle of its wearer. Ok, I must say this list makes me chuckle as I am married to a white man.
A few things popped into my mind that should be added. Border collies, aussies, blue heelers are the new trendy dog for white people. For some reason, white people, especially those who live in urban areas are obsessed with these non-city slicker dogs. I see them everywhere on pet food advertisements. In fact my husband has caught herding dog fever and talked me into adopting one of these. Is StuffWhitePeopleLike. Or is that too ironic?
A sport whose largest western influence was developed not ironically by the ancient greeks, who were VERY fond of their homosexual love, especially between older men and young teen boys, and who loved to practice their wrestling naked. I also find it ironic that one of the sports you seem to like most, MMA, relies heavily on techniques that come from non-white Asian culture, which in my opinion are much more effective then western styles like boxing.
Also, team-oriented sports are infinitely more difficult to perfect, because not only do you need to put in the massive amount of individual training and practice to get yourself up to pro-sport level, but you also need to put in an equal amount of time learning to co-ordinate your game with the rest of the team. If you feel that way, go live there. Zac Efron: definitely not a young man beloved of white people.
My world does not revolve around who some mimbo albeit a funny one like Brad Pitt wants to put his dick into. Usually the people who wear this awful shirt have tandori-colored skin from fake-baking, lives in Orange County, CA and drives some sort of large, white vehicle.
So true. It gives me douche chills. Same shit with the chavs in England—their big thing were Burberry caps. This is a good post because it has informed of the evils of Ed Hardy and now I have something new to hate on. Never heard of Ed Hardy here in Maryland. I would let brad pitt do anything to me…even if he had aids…same with angelina jolie…. Its sad because corn tortillas taste delicious, but I never buy them for the fear where the corn came from and the fungis….
Let us not forget that white people also love to hate people who listen to nickelback…who, i do believe, are the very same d-bags that purchase ed hardy. Your cock-centric analysis of wrestling might go over better at your NAMBLA meetings, but in polite company you will refrain from such faggotry, is that clear?
You just admitted that ghey can be influenced by government and society, btw, nice going genius, this validates my conservative narrative against the gay agenda. Asian striking, such as Muay Thai, is particular to the skinny physiology of Thais, such a sport would never occur among meaty thighed Europeans, for example. Thai punching is by design less powerful than western European striking, which itself is less powerful than East European striking and its looping punches.
I think what you say is very true Mark. Did you know that the rise in autism can be directly attributed to white people having babies at advanced age? Fertility treatment alone increases the risk of autism fourfold. Autism has been linked to excess tv viewing during-yes-baby and toddler-hood- Now increasingly practiced by young poor and stressed out middle class alike: see -baby einstien videos-produced by none other than-Disney! If you are mentally challenged you are more likely to become a Disney addict….
Not sure if this has already been posted in the 15 pages of comments, but I saw his website and the post artwork is quite beautiful.
If you hear someone talk about soccer, we will ridicule them and call them fags for thinking about soccer. Proud white american people HATE soccer with a passion. Die soccer die you piece of shit liberal fake eurosport for fags.
Stop the hate! I bet you secretly listen to rap music and side-eye the black guys in the locker-room hahaha!! Ed Hardy is massive in Hong Kong. It must have been really popular with the wrong kind of white celebrity. Trucker hats are still going strong here, so maybe the trend is almost over.
If Chinese people are into it, it can no longer be cutting edge in America. Nice post. I think Lander should take on hating bottle service at clubs next. He spent the night dancing and running and was booed incessantly.
Some champion! To my knowledge, I have never seen anyone come to the gym wearing an Ed Hardy T-shirt. I had to google Ed Hardy after reading this post. Affliction and Tap-Out are for spectators. This entry seems to have some holes in it. I cannot agree more. There is a certain class of white people that wear Ed Hardy. That class is not the kind of white people to impress.
Any douchebag, in general, who is not homo would overlook clothing brand in order to fornicate with an Asian girl with bangs. What is wrong with you people?
You take a perfectly amusing blog like SWPL and you start slinging horrific insults at one another and insinuating that it is somehow the FAULT of a parent of a child with autism that their child has been diagnosed with autism. You are being unbelievably offensive, insensitive, and ignorant. First, there is NO link between fertility medication and autism. The same is true for the link to TV watching, and yes, you heard it right, rain. So, unless you are completely illiterate with regard to science, you would have to recognize that parents are not at fault in their children having autism, and to say otherwise, is nothing other than mean-spirited hate speech.
I think I may be the whitest person ever. Thus far, the author has me pinned exactly on numbers 5, 8, 10, 19, 23, 24, 25, 27, 35, 42, 44, 50, 57, 64, 72, 96, 99, , , , amd Close, but not exactly right on numbers 1, 4, 13, 26, 34, 43, 62, 67, 80, 84, 88, and I get annoyed with people who like numbers 2, 6, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 30, 33, 53, 59, 76, 98, , , and Anyone higher on the WP scale?
They are normally such broey douches. This is amazing. I am a total white person its ridiculous. A lot of people there seem to like it. You know, the guys who are totally convinced they could be in the UFC because they watch all the fights and so they strut around the bar trying to act like badasses. I hate those douchebags. Ed Hardy does suck, just not to that degree. I agree Afflicition is the next step into ultimate douch-baggery.
I purpose this ranking from least to most douchey:. Would never wear Ed Hardy to the gym. Are you kidding me? I liked Ed Hardy until Madonna started to wear it then it became too mainstream. Not of any interest. I never even knew about E. But, by God, I hate it. I hate it real strong. I witnessed the largest brigade of douchebaggery Sun at brunch. Yes dear god am i white. Is it just me or has Ed Hardy become the Douchbag uniform of You seem to be obsessed with gays, Whitey.
Yes, if you wear Ed Hardy and you are a 20 something douchebag walking around projecting your hostility? Its called the sheep mentality. I wear what you wear because you know what you are doing.
Like being in line at the Grocery Store. You see a line open up and you run for it. Thats called individuality folks. Feel it and live it. Can anyone help me out here,Why!? Not even out of irony, I just really like the shoes. My girlfriend who is not white has two pairs that I think are adorable. Please explain-sincerely, confused cracker. I get nothing but compliments from everyone, everywhere I go. I cannot stand Ed Hardy. Everytime I think of Ed Hardy, I think of a has-been rock star who is trying to relive the glory days.
Also, not all white people know who Ed Hardy is. Revelatory, really. Is this really a necessary hair to split? For not giving a crap, it takes some time to set up a profile and reply to it. There are Ed Hardy cells popping up all over Sydney, Australia. That is exactly it. The Burberry thing is so bad in England. It is funny being in America where Burberry relatively is still considered a high-end brand but back in Leeds it is just associated with council queens and chavs.
Forget about showing your patriotism like most Americans do by serving the country as a volunteer or in the armed forces, apparently all you have to do is hate soccer! These clothes look like crap. MT-LA and Miami have so much crime they arent even worth discussing.
Go put on your Ed Hardy Hoodie and hide your face in shame. Visit my blog. So, by reading some of the posts here on Ed Hardy, it sounds like the big objection from white people of which I am one are the t-shirts which I totally understand because the look asinine.
There are, however, many other brands of ridiculous looking t-shirts that look like Ed Hardy wannabes. I love going down to Venice for dinner — lots of good restaurants. I also ride my road bike through Venice cause I like the atmosphere. But if is now as unauthentic as you say it is then I will avoid it like the plague, except for the Sidewalk Cafe — I love that place! Maybe clothes from Obey by Shepherd Fairey?
All of these should score you major, major points with the right white people. There are two kinds of white people that wear Ed Hardy. The first being the tool who believes a t-shirt will make them instantly cool. You can see these people at your local mall checking you out to make sure you are checking them out. This is about Then there is the. Recently at a gas station I had an exchange of words with a I told him my shirt was from I can only assume he was on his way to the local high school which he never graduated from to hit on some high school sophomores that would be impressed by his matching shirt and trucker hat.
They took an authentic american art and made it ridiculous. If you have a problem with understanding English, I heartily recommend Hooked on Phonics. Failing that, there are always those English as a Second Language courses.
Now I can finally say hey!! Learning so much! For the record, I adore Ed Hardy and I am about as white as they come. It is my opinion that overexposure is ruining Ed Hardy. The moment the company inked a deal with VH-1 and reality sluts started running around in Hardy swag, is the moment the brand was taken too far. In the US, um. They also like raised trucks there.
Especially coupled with a dagger through the skull.. Trust me. I thought this discussion was about Ed Hardy t-shirt wearers. I agree. This is not the platform in which to grind those particular axes. Much too common for my taste. I just took a huge fresh shit, and I used an Ed Hardy joint to wipe my stinking hairy asshole.
See Ed Hardy is good for something. After I read this, I went to a party, bent down to tie my shoe and the person standing in front of me was wearing shoes by who? Ed Hardy. Now I know where to focus said hatred. Thanks SWPL! On this subject, I hate seeing people wearing tapout shirts as they are almost invariably skinny fat guys who have never trained a martial art in their life.
Its like every paunchy idiot thinks tribal designs and hair gel make up for being unfit. This story is so true, especially the part about not being able to wear these clothes ironically! My mates who bought knockoff ed hardy clothes in thailand because they thought the tattoo prints were cool — then realising the douchness of the brand when they got home — threw them all out rather than let anyone think they paid full price for them. These two guys are my friends!!!!!!!!!!!
They have seriously been wearing Ed Hardy since before any one else even heard of them. They single handly brought the style to the Chicago club scene! Wow, you are so lucky to be friends with two people who single handly brought the dumb shit douchebag style to the Chicago club scene.
This is the lamest shit ever. Try showing up to the Concours in Monterey or to the Casino in Monte Carlo wearing this and see what how wealthy they think you are. I know Afflication has been mentioned, but did anyone mention that these shirts only come in super thin fat guy nipple showing material, and that the only size is extra smedium?
Think about that for a moment. Ed Hardy, what the fuck? Must be shit. Passing through airports this past week I noticed the east side of the Rockies has lost its mind on Ed Hardy. May I suggest their brain has turned to shit. I myself dont care for soccer, I think if it doesnt require the use of your upperbody, then its hardly a sport.
But you cant hate europe, or gay people, whites love them both too much. This person just doesnt understand…all he sees is fancy jewelry and Escalades, and thats what they consider successful…. What this person doesnt understand.. Instead of leasing a cadilac to look rich, we buy solar panels and composters. White people like looking poor so people like MT dont rob them.
White people like to travel the world, we spend money on experiences like throwing clay pots in Bhutan, and giving nets to children in Ethiopia. We give to charity instead of flaunting our wealth. Alot of the money we make goes into paying off student loans, something MT will never have to worry about.
I like the picture of Brett Micheals and his show, Rock of the Herpes Bus, or whatever that show is called. I just saw it online i dont pay for commercial movies but that movie was rather cute, and the ed hardy scene pretty much summed it up that douches wear ed hardy.
Ralph Lauren is always acceptable.. Obey is good, not to many people know of it, but some things say OBEY on the shirts and such so stay away from that. Try Threadless. Penguin is a fairly good preppy brand, perry ellis is ok, im trying to think of things available to the masses in the US without searching for the great obscure designers in Orslo.
Vintage stores are really the best bet for great clothes because they are unique and nobody would have it. If you wear it; you suck. If you own it; you suck. If you rave about it; you suck. Ed hardy the actual tattooer is great, too bad he sold his name and some flash to a douche same douche who took von dutch and raped his name who made it into mall trash wear. Look I wear clothes with tattoo designs on them! You think being a banquet manager is glamorous? Oh hell yes, the Turks DO wear that shit.
I lived in Berlin for long enough to witness this. Und einfach peinlich! The only clothing-related issue you should worry about is animals that are tryin to make you shit your pants…. Are you ready to not having… are you ready… to st…. I only start to see these when I get further out west, into Appalachia, as opposed to on the coast proper.
I thought my Nazi uniform was pretty fly. I shot a game of pool with this girl. She had a big Buddha on her shirt and on closer inspection, it was as Ed Hardy shirt. When I made a comment about it, she was embarrassed and said that the design was so good that she was just able to ignore that it was Ed Hardy.
If I saw someone wearing one I would think they had terrible taste. I like discreet or appropriate ones that are framed well on the body and generally well-considered. I like to see the outside perspective on our often hilarious traits. Should you ever cross paths with any of the species avoid eye contact lest the gaudiness come off on you.
Point in case i was wearing evisus in by bootlegs were ever where i stopped wearing them. Then U. S rappers jumped on evsiu and they kinda came back.
They never fully recovered amongst my peer group, due to females inability to distinguish real from fake. They just assumed they were fake. Ed Hardy is def. Come on, everyone hates people who wear Ed Hardy — nothing to do with race.
You either wear that disgusting shit or you hate it. Young African-Americans. It must be a regional thing. I recall a certain very strong Von Dutch backlash years back. That was a very white people thing, and everyone en mass stopped wearing Von Dutch clothing. Basically a douchebag. Ed Hardy is like Von Dutch. Haha, judging by that picture I can really see the point.
One problem though is you have to know something about the brand or the image surrounding it for the statement to be true. That, and the fact that particular kind of white person are known to like or in this case, like to hate the stuff on the blog. Hipsters are not known to like Muskets and the Boston Tea Party. I love that this article also features 7 ads for Ed Hardy shirts and trucker hats.
Not that is ironic. Is that like, beyond ironic? My husband is white but he loves Ed Hardy clothing. He even collects them.
My white friends love Ed Hardy clothes too. Hi really like your Blog, what are you thoughts on hatha yoga? I also found this really good guide on yoga that I think I might get, do you know any one that has got it and if it is any good? I hate ed hardy and starbucks and i am not white. Not even close. I am not even American. But i really really hate ed hardy and the idiots that wear them. I also hate Lil Wayne. And the whole garbage ass southern rap.
I also hate cheney and condoleesa the skeeza. It signifies to me that they are an automaton clone who cannot think for themselves and at least a little bit douche. I like Ed Hardy. We really live in a world if limites selection of clothing. What also gets to me with this ed hardhy ghetto trash people is how everyone is into this face look with the cheeks and chins being out there. Enjoyed reading your blog.
Keep up the good work! Clicked some ads for you. This article is kinda dumb, because Ed Hardy is obviously just ugly tacky shit. I know it seems crazy now, in , to think that even a single person wore those stupid tattooed shirts, but I checked online, and they did.
Not me… but only because I was still finishing up my 20 year sponsorship with Hypercolor by Generra. The first vending machine opened in the bathroom at Hyde. From America to horrified nations throughout the world, powerless to stop the insidious spread of skeleton shirts and gothic crosses. You are absolutely right. Needless to, I do hate Ed Hardy clothing.
Hate sometimes unites, and a general term that is disgusting to the majority helps in breaking the ice at times. Ed Hardy was cool for about two weeks — until people realized youre paying hundreds from bullshit.
Wearing an Ed Hardy T-shirt is no less than walking around and flaunting how big of a tool you are. Its true, there is a certain stereotype of ed hardy weares that are the scum of the earth, biggest douche bags you will ever meet sort of people, but these comments seem to be attacking the brand as a whole. I know after 40 years old you lose touch but WTF? I went to Vegas last month and all I saw were dudes in these silly Ed Hardy shirts.
WTF is ed hardy!? I sure hope your economy continues crashing and more of you lose your middle class home to the banks to get a taste of being poor like half a million of you already did. Do you think there is also an ankle bracelet lifestyle, a lipstick lifestyle or a earing lifestyle? Proof positive that wealth does not equal class. Then get with the program!! Oh, how I hate Ed Hardy! This made me bust out loud laughing. My mom bought a pair of Ed Hardy sandals. I told her she absolutely could not wear them.
This is fucking stupid.. I am white and I think Ed Hardy is a kewl brand! I also fucking love the perfume! You need to take this stupid ass racist shit off the fucking web! You motherfuckers! Fuck you. No one gives a rats ass what you think and there is no such thing as pure white. Everyone has been mixing with everyone nowadays so you can shut your fucking face! Ed Hardy is by far the worst brand in the world — u douchebag!
Erik, local country favorite in Oklahoma, loves Ed Hardy. Looks really fantastic clothing really my favorite style. Can I find it somewhere here in Greece where i live? Ed Hardy is a complete joke.
It reaks of hair-gel, steroids, flat-billed lids, Axe body spray and roofies, aka GDI douchebaggery. But when you buy something as trashy as Ed Hardy or Affliction, you are:. MTV is slowly turning this country into a bunch of spray-tanned, roid-injecting, hair-gelled douches. He was revolutionary, the same way sailor jerry was.
The thing that really gets me is all the assholes that wear the clothing but really have no idea about Ed Hardy the artist. And if you are gay, it's ugly. Expensive doesn't mean stylish. Just look at Salman Khan.
Or these guys. While I'm willing to experiment with subtle add-ons to my wardrobe the odd chain added to a belt loop, no man deserves sparkly tigers, and multiple hues - all on one piece of fabric. Ditto for jeans with hearts and sparkly pieces of metal riveted onto it - right on the on the ass, worn with a belt composed of bits of leather and metal studs. There's nothing unique about Ed Hardy anything. The jeans look like they grew out of the T shirts same hearts, dragons and glitter and the trucker caps look like a glitter-eating monkey crapped on it.
Ed Hardy tries to fit into the T-shirt game by writing words like 'Classic', or 'Tattoo' which hearkens back to the origin of Don Ed Hardy, a tattoo artist and in this case, Sexline, which makes us wonder.
Even as the 90's trend of scratching a dude's name across your chest fades to a tiny monogram, the Ed 'Hardiness' begins, followed by stupid slogans that don't mean anything. And we know Paris Hilton is pseudo-cool along with pseudo-hot, pseudo-boobs, and pseudo-rich. Competition shows do better.
I love the few minutes at the end of Best Ink and Ink Master when the judges critique the work of the competing tattooists, expounding always too briefly on technical considerations: the shading, highlights, scale, perspective, strength and consistency of line, color combinations, logic of the light source, and adherence to conventions like the proper positioning of a pinup.
If concept were a criterion, everyone would be knocked off the show on the first challenge. Lakra, one of the few tattooists to gain purchase in the blue chip art world. Hardy embraced and cultivated pioneering artists like Freddy Negrete, who brought elegant black and gray fine line tattooing from prison to the public, and Leo Zulueta, who popularized neo-tribal tattoo.
He supported young artists, including women, as far back as the early s, when California artist Jamie Summers worked in his shop, and New Mexico artist Cynthia Witkin appeared in his magazine.
Hardy has also been an astute commentator on the sociology of tattoos. Tattoos are indicators, or little vents to their psyche. In the mid s, many Hardy fans, myself included, were confounded by the contagion of Hardy merchandise suddenly flooding stores — as, evidently, was Hardy.
Paradoxically, the Hardy brand made a man so deserving of recognition famous for all the wrong reasons. It trades in his early work — precisely the tradition-bound Americana he wanted to transmute into something more expansive and artistic. In Wear Your Dreams , he writes:. I think I understand what Christian saw in the designs. They were meant to be emblematic, like heraldry. Heavy shading, dark and light values, and an instantly recognizable silhouette of the shape.
And they represent. This stands for me […] in some small but important way. But emblems designed to hug bodies look terrible on hoodies — and worse on trucker hats. Stripped of context, the tattoos read like signboards. The franchise exploited a medium rooted in individual expression, slicked it up with glitter and studs, and replicated it endlessly, making it everything a tattoo is not. Many people loathed it, but many people, including celebrities, bought it.
Hating Ed Hardy became a national pastime, as indicated by the many Hardy entries in the Urban Dictionary :.
