I go to a boarding school. I'm going to an art internship. So yes, some trends appear to strangers who are wandering the campus in northern Michigan. And one that has stood out to me is the most prominent black glasses with thick edges finished in the faces of these "indie" kids. And I put the phrase "Indie" in quotes because what is indie, really? Originally known as an abbreviation for "independent rock band", has become an adjective that describes a "new" and "hip" culture and way of life. This is a vague term to describe glorious indie rock, which now appears more appropriately called the name of the people who think they are cooler than they really are.
The first time you noticed the increase in these vessels Large plastic when some girls wore little small vessels as a librarian on campus. "Well, I thought. "It's good they are trying to look smarter, but they have known for at least got a pair of glasses. As reading glasses, for use in reality. They are doing the kids who teased middle school look bad. "And then came the large vessels. I'm not just talking, no-mini, eyeglasses mounting face. I'm talking about Paris Hilton sunglasses size sunglasses. Except they are not sunglasses. And it's not real. And make the user look incredibly stupid.
I thought this was just another artsy-fartsy trend only find in my school, but I took a trip to visit my brother in New York in the spring to visit a school in the city. This school turned out to be my dream College, however, I found my disbelief, the glasses had become a trend outside of my bubble of the arts. I can safely say that almost one I saw four girls walking the streets of the city, displaying a couple of these "cool" glasses.
Again, maybe the state, not even real. No prescription. There is no real purpose. All plastic. But I think it goes to show how trends can navigate through this country, no matter what bizarre or humorous that makes you look. Hopefully, as the straps in the 80's, this trend will die and we will see this error fashionable again.
