Metrosexual, This Must End Options

[fameONE]

Popular culture has a way of coining new terms, inventing new stereotypes and making something that isn't a big deal an exaggerated trend. Normally, we youths witness a resurgence/emergence of subcultures like; emo, punk, hiphop, skater, preppy vintage, emo thrift vintage, hiphop skater emo, and so on. These fads are always brought to the attention of mainstream youth culture via mTV and other large corporate pimps that prey on the impressionable minds of the youth. But, I bring to you, the label, the stereotype, the stigma that has me up in arms; the title of 'metrosexual.'

Since when was it a bad thing for a guy to wear nice clothes? Better yet, since when was it a bad thing for us to have a sense of style? Is this right reserved for people only of the homosexual persuasion? If so, since when? I'm having a hard time comprehending the logic of calling a straight guy 'metrosexual,' just because he has better taste than the next. The last time I checked, there wasn't label attached to a girl who dressed too girly? Oh, wait, my bad, people label them sluts. Ok, so 'metrosexuality' isn't as bad as being labelled a whore, but whats with the fascination?

First, let me explain to what a 'metrosexual' IS by common standard. For a straight male to breach the levels of 'metrosexuality' he must: dress well and be overdressed for most occasions, be utterly vain and self-centered, be somewhat of an a-hole behind the niceguy facade and act, as many have put it, 'gay.' now this, obviously, is a bit extreme and its not what most of us well-dressed, artisitic, well-rounded STRAIGHT guys are. Still, the second you were something of designer fashion, the label is slapped on your forehead.

Now without further ado, I'll break down in lamens what a 'metrosexual' IS NOT by the common sense standard. A metrosexual is not a guy who dresses well and has fine tastes, thats simply a man with style. Nor is a 'metrosexual' one who struggles with vanity and self-centerednes; thats just a pompous jackass. How could a metrosexual be anything but an a-hole if he's an a-hole? Because, I assure you, it doesn't matter how you dress or how you act; you're still an a-hole. Acting 'gay' is a term I don't quite understand anymore because its used so loosely. To me, acting gay is being a homosexual and if you're a homosexual; thats just what you are.

So, this is my outcry to all of you. Stop this labelling. End this term metrosexual because all it is is another stereotype for our society. And as you may have noticed, we're still trying to put an end to the ones from years past.

Your post? Oh im sorry my liege, seems like you're the dumbass, maybe he just thinks that arrogance is a bad thing, which in most peoples opinion is a bad thing. Perhaps you should take note of this, but then again perhaps I should stop being such a jackass, 'Hmm touche Rob' - 'Thanks Rob!'.
