Also dont forget ! A lot of being punk and alt is an attitude and was created by the working class! Having out of fashion or torn up clothes doesnt make u less Alt bro !
Hello hello! What an honor! Thank you so much 💖 You've definitely just made my day 💙 Though since that video I've turned more into Caduceus with the pastels and the pastel pink hair ;b
glad that i unintentionally followed the tips already haha, getting my hair dyed professionally and get good shoes was a good decision! really glad i found your videos!
new yorker, emp, yesstyle, shein and thrift stores are my favorite places to shop at. but also depop is a great place for unique design clothing and that way you support small businesses !!
eh, I have a lot of ethical issues with yesstyle and shein bc fast fashion and extremely poor quality. Imma assume you're German too since u mentioned EMP and let me just hand out this little tipp - Attitude Holland/Attitude Deutschland carries better things than EMP AND isn't as overpriced as EMP is (they really are WAY overpriced). And w Attitude's selection it's a lot harder to pick sth that screams "tryhard" or "I have no idea what I'm doing", if that makes sense. And - idk if I'm just older, but I personally have completely grown out of NewYorker... Just my opinions tho, you do you! But BIG YAY for thrifting and Depop!!!💘 You go!!!
Oh _please_ don't support shein if you can avoid them. They've used child labor and sweatshops, and the clothes is cheap because it's really poorly made fast fashion
@@theundyingcat shut up no one asked. You're classist af. They probably don't use sweatshops and child labor anymore and if they do it's not their fault because they usually don't know about it when it happens in other countries
*me over here watching this after bleaching my hair twice* (I got chemical burn tho- my mom's a professional and was watching. I just have sensitive skin)
Im still trying to figure out what haircut fits me because i went to 3 different hair salons and i didnt like how my hair turned out. I even cut my hair and i didnt like it either lol
I have a tip for the shoe part: if you live in america, go to Ross once in a while, sometimes they end up with really cheap brand shoes (I found a pair of doc martens for cheap there) they sometimes have little tweaks or mistakes but the shoe is in good condition overall so it's really worth it if you want to save the money.
Thanks! It's honestly just the cheapest and flattest one I could find, those were my requirements lol look for stainless steel black rings online and you'll find good ones :)
My parents are super 2000s and love punk and rock heavy metal etc etc so my dad gets me old band t-shirts whenever we go to hot topic ^^. And my mother is super into ghosts and witches. For example ouija boards fairys cabins etc. So alternative fashion is like my life-
Does anyone know any good online thrift stores, I live in America (sadly) if that helps, I really want new clothes cause most of my clothes rn are from when I was like- 10 and dressed like a literal clown but I’m 🧚♀️✨broke✨🧚♀️ cause my Etsy decided to flop completely
Okay, but the no blue jean rule kinda blew my mind?? I have pretty much solely blue denim bottoms and I always struggle to make even slightly alt outfits that I’m comfy with, but then I was always too scared to buy anything that isn’t blue denim. Granted, I am solarpunk and on the softer side, so I can pull some denim (my denim dress is my fave thing in my closet, so versatile), but I wanna explore the punk side more, so I need to try some more bottom colors! Thanks for the advice!
Id also recommend swap meets post pandemic . You get together have a party and bring all your unwanted clothing , jewelry accessories etc. And trade them for stuff other people brought . Its a lot of fun 😉
It's Kleiderkreisel~ But it's entirely in German and you have to write people directly if you want to buy something. If you'te from one of the Getman speaking countries I'd totally give it a go
these tips r great n i just wanted to add my input but I bought the cheapest doc martens i could find brand new almost 3 years ago and I still wear the same ones, they last great but a good thing I also recommend is get urself a comfort sole too because the default sole gets uncomfy pretty fast
just checked it out and dang they've got somw cute stuff! Seeing as how since this video happened I've taken to wearing mainly pastels (oops) you just opened up a whole new world to me, thanks! 💖 Still, the best option is thrifting imo because sustainability, yadda yadda, you get the deal, just saying it again for people who may not have watched the video and are just lurking in the comments ♡
I am so happy to have found this video ✨ as a German Myself, i could barely find anyone who wasn’t American talk about this with websites that would also be cheap for me. Like shipping costs? Hella expensive from America to Germany :P
@ShatteredRippleBooks 0 seconds ago I bought a dress from the charity shop it had a cool spooky print on but it's too tight. It's t-shirt fabric and it's sleeveless. It dawned on me that I could cut it up the front and wear it as a vest because the print is also on the back. If it curls too much at the edges I'll just add some lace.
Makeup tip: GET A GOOD EYELINER. You can do a full face with eyeliner. Black lips, eyes, eyebrows ,freckles, designs. Trust me a good black eyeliner will get you far
This! Up until a few months ago I only ever used pencil eyeliner because it was all I knew how to use, but I decided to buy some liquid eyeliner and... Well I failed pretty bad for a while, but after watching some RUclips videos and practicing I'm pretty ok at it! :)
@@elaboratedreamer that's great I use liquid eyeliner for my whole loon and I love it. I'm only 14 so even tho I'm good at makeup I literally dont have any money
I just bought second hand dockers on vinted (formerly kleiderkreisel), I absolutely love them! there are so many good second hand pairs on there, I could hardly choose one.
I bleach my hair myself because part of being on a budget is you cant afford going to a hair dresser and i have never have patches or fried my hair off sooooo
Lol I bleach my own hair and my roommates hair (only cause I've learned how to do it right) but I learned using Manic Panic dye and then bleaching out remaining colour causes a reaction that BURNS YOUR FUCKING SCALP! My scalp is currently burned when I had bleach on for only 9 or 10 mins. So yeah don't bleach Manic Panic let it fade out itself.
one more reason to not use them ^^ I mean I personally have switched haircolours 2 times total and am planning not to have any haircolour other than pastel pink ever again, but-
I used to mix a whole shitton of colours, Arctic Fox brand Purple Rain & Poseidon and some other Directions brand colours I can't remember. I think Plum was one of them, but not the only one
When styling men’s shirts do you have problems with the shoulder length? I like the longer sleeve length but the shoulder seam is always really far down my arm and it looks weird...
I have very wide shoulders, but I also like the look of my shirts being too big (I'm a size XS and wear L-XL in men's shirts), so the seams droopimg down is just part of the deal
I got the opposite problem. I already go to different stores and all I see are boring basic pieces. I live in a really small town in a 3rd world country so...yeah. I googled about alt community in my country and there's none. I don't think people in my country even know what's alt is. Maybe only a small percentage is into alt but I never saw them anywhere. It surely reflected on the clothes being sold so I got a really hard time looking for interesting pieces. Jackets and outer would do but my country is so FXXKING HOT I swear I'm gonna melt if I wear more than 1 layer of fabric. Btw I wonder if non skinny black jeans exist in this world because I ABSOLUTELY HATE skinny jeans and all black jeans I saw sold on shops are all skinny jeans.
It's hella classist to assume everybody got the funds for slow fashion. I, for one, don't. The problem w fast fashion is buying and throwing out stuff all the time, if you buy 1 item and wear it for years, that's not an issue
@@meritimothy2053 I can't afford slow fashion either lol, so I do indirectly consume fast fashion once in a while by buying second hand and vintage. I do agree the problem is more so the throw away culture though. I found so many clothes, and even super good quality vintage, in the trash and recycling centers. It's kinda sad. :/ So I don't get why so many people keep constantly getting new stuff.
I've got sort of a moral conflict with it regarding clothes bc you just know that some poor worker has been way underpayed to make them... great for craft supplies tho!
Hello? Why am I always late? I was just wondering where you get your shoes, so, in case you still check your old videos comments, I ask here And that's for everyone, have a good day :3

True. Just look at earlier Sex Pistols, they looked like workers, which they were
If you're on this vid because you call yourself a punk you aren't a punk
@@andybarronjnr you're on this vid
Thank youuuu ! I can’t really afford “good” alt clothes all the time and ur comment really comforts me :))))
Look we are trying to express ourselves but we're broke
facts
no lies spoken
my mum used to wear lots of alternative clothes but she sold them all:c
Same here with my dad :c
yeah, both my parents here ):
Yeah, I moved so all her clothes are in storage rn, but I got some of her stuff!
Same with both my mom and my dad.. but my step dad wasn't alternative..
i dont trust salons but ive been doing my hair for so long that im kinda getting good at it and its actually my drdam profession
I root for you stranger
“Don’t bleach ir yourself” me watching this after having bleached two strands of my hair and dyed them pink by myself : 👁👄👁
well, you can mess up a whole lot less doing 2 strands compared to your entire head of hair
me: dyed my hair alone by myself for four years
@@charlieetheridge3947 same haha
gloombat i dyed it half and half myself twice and almost every color of the rainbow (it’s my only flex)
Yasu Elfendahl my neighbour is a hairdresser. She gives me everything I need for free lmao.
okay but you and Noen Eubanks could be twins ngl
yesss! I love Noen

My dad. Has the worst. Fashion. Sense ever
H&M and C&A sales are the best but Kiabi sales too, I get every sweat on Kiabi, Primark is not always good but it's cheap and fun so yeah
I don't know what Kiabi is, apparently not a thing in Germany ^^

I wish my mom was like yours when ever she sees anything remotely witchy she says it’s satanic
OMG I love how you speak in your video! So funny and positive😍 and I do love your style!

I think grey denim and blue grey denim looks amazing
Id also recommend swap meets post pandemic . You get together have a party and bring all your unwanted clothing , jewelry accessories etc. And trade them for stuff other people brought . Its a lot of fun 😉
What was the second hand website you mentioned?
It's Kleiderkreisel~ But it's entirely in German and you have to write people directly if you want to buy something. If you'te from one of the Getman speaking countries I'd totally give it a go

Me about to put on a pineapple shirt over my jeans 👁👄👁
I’ve been dying my hair black and cutting it myself for years and it’s nothing more freeing than being able to do whatever you want to your hair.
creativity and diy is key!
Dog dog has some nice clothes for cheap. It’s mostly cute clothing but they have punk/grunge stuff too
just checked it out and dang they've got somw cute stuff! Seeing as how since this video happened I've taken to wearing mainly pastels (oops) you just opened up a whole new world to me, thanks! 💖
Still, the best option is thrifting imo because sustainability, yadda yadda, you get the deal, just saying it again for people who may not have watched the video and are just lurking in the comments ♡

*laughs in daddy issues*
I LOVE YOUR HAIR it looks so sick!!!!
Okay I feel this bruh cause I get most of my wardrobe from thrifting and old clothes from my mom, dad, brothers, cousins, and friends
Instantly subbed once i saw the m9 shirt
I love your hair color. What shade is it?
A shitton of different purples and blues mixed together. Can'r remember which brands or shades, I've been pink for over a year now
just go through relatives’ old clothes, i got a whole wardrobe from my grandparents throw-outs

Hi! I'm punk goth sorta thing idk, but I just tried it out now I'm obsessed!!!!
omg!! peep the ace ring :))))
AAA I can’t believe I didn’t notice at first!! I just got my ace ring a few days ago and it’s so cool to see other ppl who wear it!
ALIEXPRESS !! They also often have cheap clothing
yeah, but it's bad quality 90% of the time and supports the fast fashion problem immensely
Or goodwill too ♥️

I made my guy friend buy a women's botten up court shirt because it just worked, try on stuff you usually wouldn't.
ah... it's the DEUTSCHER AKTZENT for me UwU
The shirt in the thumbnail. Where is it from? I must have it!
it's just a Bring Me The Horizon band shirt ^^
H&M has a really cute purple and black plaid skirt rn:) (edit: forgot to say that it's $30 CAD, kinda pricey but yk)
that one's been out of the cycle in Germany for a while now ^^
