And, in 2004 they seemed to be the same as they were in 1999....and so on. <BR/><BR/>But it's not only Barwood's sets that have a familiar but different feel; as your photos demonstrate, the Rise crowd still wear those fucking awful pants that they always have(giant, yellow, flouro bits, plastic buckles), only instead of accessorising them with a Marilyn Manson or Korn shirt (sooooooo 2004), they now don a My Chemical Romance t shirt.<BR/><BR/>It's all a bit too easy though, poking fun at Rise types because they "dress bad" (read: we really hate them because they come from poor suburbs like armadale and are unself-consciously enjoying themselves). It's the smug fuckwits packing out Shape that really deserve a good, hard public blogging.....<BR/><BR/>keep up the good work, <BR/><BR/>johnUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830478599807852587noreply@blogger.com
