The Reign of the Skinny

Skinny denim is much like a cell phone...what did you do before it??? While they have been around since the dawn of time and most popularized with punks and rockers the hipsters have made them the new staple pant. While most rockers feel like this is just a fashion trend of the masses that will soon pass, alot of trendsters feel quite the contrary. "Bootcut days are over...the skinny allows us to show off our footwear" says one scenester. Either way there are still brands like Lip Service and KillCity that remain loyal to the orginal punk rocker. But as each hispter searchs to look different and less mainstream than the next they are already turning from brands like CheapMondays and Silence&Noise to the more alternative punkrock labels. I look forward to the day that I see a middle american soccer mom in a pair of Stretch F**K'N Jeans!!!!
