[Discussion] THE STATE OF THIS SUBREDDIT

Posted: 04 Sep 2017 04:09 PM PDT

I posted this in r/streetwearmeta a week ago. I received no response from a mod, even though it is the most upvoted post of all time on that subreddit (14 upvotes, woohoo). I think it has value, so I'm posting it here:

"R/streetwear is incredibly boring. I wish I didnt have to rely on the sub to get my fashion fix, but I dont browse anywhere else, so im stuck there for now.

I tried figuring out why the subreddit isnt working-why our day-to-day traffic has decreased over the course of about a year and a half while we still get new subscribers, why I personally only go on the sub/submit something every week or two now (and that number is decreasing).

I have some possible explanations.

The moderators concentrate so ridiculously hard on removing all "low quality" posts, but don't realize this in itself is lowering the quality of the subreddit more than the posts themselves! When the only post that even makes it to the front page (because everything else is deemed "low effort" and gets deleted) is some dude saying "hey guys how do you get on Travis Scott's new website", it really turns me off to the subreddit and I stop going on for a while.

The nitpicking identity the moderators have taken on only allows extremely boring, drab posts to make it to the front page; this is because actively only one or two posts will happen to get the upvotes needed to be on the front page in the first place. This also discourages people to even try and post in the subreddit due of fear of their post getting deleted.

I hope you guys see how low our traffic has gotten... please realize, this isn't due to random chance. Something is NOT going right here.

Some suggestions:

-Stop deleting "low effort" posts, unless you want to literally run the subreddit into the ground. Regardless of your own personal opinion. Let the subreddit filter these posts for you with upvotes and downvotes. That's what they're for.

-Implement a day of the week (Streetwear Sunday?) Where posting these low effort, low quality posts is acceptable, at the very least this will draw more people on one day of the week. This includes and emphasizes memes.

-Encourage people to post and upvote; it just is amazing that we have almost 400k subs and only a very very small fraction of them take the time to even come on the subreddit anymore.

This debacle on what quality is or not is ridiculous. Firstly, quality is extremely subjective. Secondly, I for one would love to see funny or interesting posts reach the front page over the lifeless dribble that reaches the front page now. YES this includes a picture of a sink. If the community has upvoted it, then it has been deemed quality by the community. This is the point of Reddit's clever upvoting and downvoting features, and is a part of why Reddit is in the social media powerhouse position it's in; users submit digestible content to which gets upvoted or downvoted based on mass-user discretion. Whether you agree with me or not on this, you are destroying the community because of these pointless hangups on quality.

I've been thinking about these ideas for awhile, but what spurred this is my own post actually getting deleted when I finally gave the subreddit an earnest chance (tonight). It went bad, and I think it's just the perfect analogy for the subreddit's trajectory and I'd love to see it improve as much as you guys.

Thanks for reading. Written on mobile."

Can we get a r/streetwear 'Roast Me' thread?

Posted: 04 Sep 2017 11:21 PM PDT

Once a week instead of a WDWYT.

You post in it, you are fair game for the roasts.

Me and all you other hopeless individuals can get our negativity out of our system.

What was your best purchase/got the most use out of?

Posted: 04 Sep 2017 04:31 PM PDT

Bar the obvious plain black skinny jeans or a plain t shirt, because that's the obvious. Other than that I bought a pair of Chelsea boots because they were on sale and I've worn the hell out of them

Denim not given as much attention?

Posted: 04 Sep 2017 09:00 PM PDT

As someone who got into jeans before upper body pieces, I've always wondered why many people splurge on pieces for their upper body (supreme, palace, bape, Gucci, stone island, etc) but not so much on jeans. Is it because tops are closer to eye level and are thus seen more when you're looking and talking to someone? Is it because lots of jeans look similar to people? Is it because jeans don't usually show off branding (for people who are into that)?

Personally I feel that a nice pair of denim can make a huge difference and the differences in washes and quality can be seen between varying price levels. I'm not hating on anyone, just curious.

What happened to Killion?

Posted: 04 Sep 2017 02:54 PM PDT

Over many many weeks. Ive noticed that they haven't posted anything on their Instagram and Twitter although they do have a IG page where the post people's outfits that are wearing their brand. I see comments on their posts about how they never answer emails and they just went off the grid. What happened to Killion? Did the brand just disappear randomly? Are they working on something?

Anyone here use other websites for fashion content?

Posted: 04 Sep 2017 06:24 PM PDT

Truth be told, this place is getting kinda stale. I want more content. I still read daily but when I exhaust the new posts....

Superfuture is dead, Hypbeast shut down, KanyeToThe's registration is closed and styleforum is for old men. Where is there to go?

Different lanes of streetwear?

Posted: 04 Sep 2017 05:38 PM PDT

While streetwear is a very broad area there are certainly many different types and forms. In your opinion what are some of the lanes and what do you fall into? For me I'm into more vintage styled streetwear with a little bit of hypebeast here and there.

How do i get started with streetwear?

Posted: 04 Sep 2017 12:41 PM PDT

I've read a few guides on here but I still don't know how to style the way i want to. I've bought some essential hoodies, jeans and joggers, and shoes but my fits are always so basic (hoodie and joggers with the occasional coach jacket). I'm just a bit overwhelmed and need some ideas on how to style properly and make sweet outfits so i can finally get to hold a girl's hand pls help
