I'd go for "anyone wearing a baseball cap who isn't being paid or sponsored to wear it". There is a world of choice of hats, why pick something so crass and tasteless otherwise.
I'd go for anyone who compromises their vision and driving for the sake of fashion. Also anyone who wears a flat cap or trilby. F*gn hipsters.

true. They're just not even a thing to me. I can kind of get the desire to use an ageless plate, but a 'personalised' one - they're not for me. I judge people for having them, for the most part, as it is nearly always tacky and show-offy... but I don't actually care enough to write any more than these 2 lines.

People with no time for fun or fashion. You're not going to be here long, enjoy your stay.

Fun is fine, I have lots of it. 'Fashion' is generally just running with a pack, so fk that! Style is something to aspire to, a Superdry Morgan marks you out as a dhead.

A Superdry Morgan?... Google.... A three wheeler as far as I can see, looks a fun little car. Hardly running with the pack. Ho ho.

Yeah you plus one, but he probably thinks a 'Portfolio' Jag is pretentious.

Point totally missed.

Morgan fine; lots of fun, totally impractical, I'd love to own one one day.

The same thing with a fashion brand name all over it, especially one which is a triumph of marketing over common sense, mostly (it would appear) worn by sheeple who think they're buying into some Japanese funky style, but have actually fallen victim to a cynical ploy originating from an industrial estate near Cheltenham, and paying 30 grand for the privilege? Meh.

Looks fine, I'm all for individualising, if that's even a word.

People with 'fashion' tattoos.

Cheryl Cole/Rihanna style hand tats.
Middle aged women with flowers on their feet.
Chinese symbols behind ears.
'Shirelle' or whatever on neck (blokes usually but not exclusive)
Those awful 'girly' ones that looked OK on the nose of a B-25 bomber, but not on the arm of a 20 year old from Clapham.

Does he also wear skinny jeans? K-Swiss? Neon laces? Does he wear horizontally slatted glasses?
Is he zomgrandom? Does he listen to dubstep?

I recognize some of these words. I speak only English (and a smattering of French) though, so I don't understand what this post means.

Absolutely. The only tattoo acceptable in my eyes is a anchor on the bicep. I think Popeye had one. Shows the individual has a sense of humour rather than some messy blur of ink on their skin hoping it suggests how deep and meaningful they are.

This example below looks horrific. The art work is impressive but who wants that on their leg? Would have been perfectly fine to keep it on paper.
