With that sort of abusive attitude/language, you are only proving the stereotypical image of someone who wears the hoodie.
If you have a different opinion then post it here, but dont insult people.
Mohinder said:Because hoodies are also by far the most popular 'it's a bit cold' option for skateboarders, bmxers, mountainbikers, motocrossers, surfers.. in fact so many people wear hoodies, I'd even go so far as to say at least half of the people who wear hooded tops aren't even remotely like the people they use the word hoodie to describe.
asim said:Thank you. Didnt realise this hoodie thing was such a big deal. I wear them firstly because I like the way they look, secondly I like to stay covered up, thirdly they are warm, fourth they are practical.
I must be one of these thugs with the hoodies cause I like to stick my hood up sometimes even when its a bright day. Whats my reason? Because I have social anxiety disorder which means I have a difficult time in public. Hoodies help me stay covered to a point where in my mind I hope I wont attract any attention and people cant see me or make fun of the way I look because of that.
Violent-J said:Social anxiety disorder?
Surely a hoodie attracts more attention
Social anxiety disorder (SAD), also referred to clinically as social phobia, is a psychiatric anxiety disorder involving overwhelming anxiety and excessive self-consciousness in everyday social situations. People experiencing social anxiety often have a persistent, intense, and chronic fear of being watched and judged by others and being embarrassed or humiliated by their own actions. Their fear may be so severe that it significantly impairs their work, school, social life, and other activities. While many people experiencing social anxiety recognize that their fear of being around people may be excessive or unreasonable, they encounter considerable difficulty overcoming it. This differs from shyness, in that the person is functionally debilitated and avoids such anxiety provoking situations by all means. At the same time, a person with social anxiety may only feel the fear of the disorder during certain situations. For example, an actor or singer may feel fine on stage, but afraid of social situations in everyday life.

As many have said, just because one wears a hoodie doesn't make you a thug.
My question was; given that ther is such a bad reputation for people wearing 'em, why would you carry on wearing one if you are an ordinary guy/gal ?
I'm sorry but the "I don't give a **** what you old people think" still leaves us with the stereotype in most people's minds.
Unfortunately, I do judge people wearing their hoodies up as thugs, as do many, many more ordinary (older) people.
One guy jogging past in the appropriate "sports gear" wearing his hoodie is one thing ........ half a dozen or more young people standing around or wandering along with their hoodies up is something else.
