- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

The thing with these fashion trends is that there's always a percentage of people that never move on. I'm sure that these aliens can find the guys they're looking for somewhere.
I had a professor who never moved on from his hipster phase. Every once in a while he'd switch it up and wear tech bro sports jackets and graphic tees, like he was trying to branch out but he was more comfy with what he cultivated on his twenties and thirties lol
wait, what, hipsters are not cool anymore?
They were, until everyone else started doing it.
Were they ever?
More like that's not what hipsters look like anymore. There's always hipsters, although given how strongly that word is associated with the 2010s they'll probably get called something else.
they may have dropped the flannel shirts, but there is more hipster barbershops in my neighborhood than starving people in north korea...
I haven’t seen a scene girl with stripey hair in so long.
probably all turned to goth
Yes goth is the next pokemon stage before evolving into witchy crochet cat lady.
🎶It's the circle of life🎶
There is also the Goth2Boss evolution pathway as an alternative.
Saw one at the grocery store a few weeks ago.
All is well in god’s earth.
Most of the scene girls I've seen/hung out with are newer edition girls.
They're definitely out there. TikTok is actually pretty good for all these little micro niche communities at least as far as seeing people who are still keeping the culture alive.
Belgium! They are all in Belgium.
Exactly, they are all in Portland, OR.
Is the dream of the 90s still alive in Portland?
1890s...

I was gonna say that is not a dead look in Vancouver either.
It's practical when you live in a temperate rainforest.
My favourite kind of guy was always the Ed Hardy guy. Guys with bedazzled shirts, ripped jeans and blonde hair. Even better when they were 40+ years old. I think these people just vanished
Just come to Eastern Europe where every trend arrives a decade later.

Yep. And more likely in large cities than the rugged outback.
