    Think this social theory is starting to become outdated. In the past, yes certain aesthetics would correlate strongly with certain beliefs. But not anymore I’ve found, society is moving away from it, slowly but surely. Plenty of women with piercings and artificially coloured hair who are socially conservative and go to church every Sunday. Plenty of “plain looking” dudes (no tattoos, no piercings and an ordinary haircut) who are very socially progressive and spend all weekend partying.

    In other words, what I’m trying to say is don’t judge a book by it’s cover and don’t listen to these silly youtubers. Genuinely talk to people, and they’ll reveal a lot about themselves that may conflict with whatever pre conceived idea you had based on their appearance.

      I’ll take that as a compliment.

      It me. Granted I don’t have the money to dress nice so all my clothes are from walmart and are hand me downs.
