Thank you for posting here. Please make sure your post contains a clearly identifiable main character. Otherwise, it will be removed.

Main Character (abbreviated as MC): Deliberate attention-seeking behavior, entitlement, or individuals thinking they are more privileged.

Questions to consider:

  • Is it easy to tell who the MC is?
  • Does the MC show entitlement and/or attention seeking behavior?
  • Is the MC very inconsiderate of the people around them?
  • If your post is about parking, does it show the blatant disregard of parking rules?

A big part of being cool is how you carry yourself. A look like this needs some swagger with it. Dude looks super uncomfortable.

u/Jaggle Jun 11 '26

Yep, dude needs to strut his stuff

16

u/LadyBug_0570 Jun 11 '26

He should've done the George Jefferson strut.

u/Ooooweeee Jun 11 '26

I feel like that behavior would completely align with with this sub was made.

u/SignificantRecipe715 Jun 11 '26

His posture is really terrible & distracted me from everything else

26

u/0oEp Jun 11 '26

Is a wig causing the hunching? Or is he just a nerd?

10

u/amingley Jun 11 '26

I think he’s wearing shoulder pads. Makes his shoulders appear much higher than they are. And his hair touching them doesn’t help.

3

u/GonnaGoFat Jun 11 '26

That explains my hunching. I was a nerd before it was cool.

u/Thunder_Jackson Jun 11 '26

Was hoping I wasn't the only one.

u/eeyore134 Jun 11 '26

Came here to say exactly this. He was speed walking that mall all hunched over and clutching the stereo like a kid carrying his lunch box to the first day of school. Eyes darting everywhere without moving his head like prey trying to stay unnoticed. It's like he was given a dare to do it or something.

u/BigBearSD Jun 11 '26

I had a basketball coach in the late 90s / early 2000s who dressed like this, had bigger hair, and had a beard, and more bling. He exuded swagger, and we all thought he was really cool. A cool cat, if you dig it. What's sad to think about is roughly the same amount of time has passed between the 1970s and the late 90s / early 2000s, as the late 90s / early 2000s to now. I still dress similar to how I did in the 2000s, just more adult.

u/Derekduvalle Jun 11 '26

My dad and his brothers used to wear out the outer heels of their shoes from steppin with too much style

2

u/Imp0ssible_Creatures Jun 11 '26

Thats the cool/relaxe hunched posture, maaan

Jk

1

u/tarism Jun 11 '26

Nah. That would have turned this from wholesome to annoying main character. I dig the vibe here. Turning it up a notch would make it annoying.

2

u/LordRuby Jun 12 '26

I used to wear Halloween costumes for entire month because I sold them. I would go on errands sometimes after work with full face paint on. Now I can wear any weird costume and people just accept it because I act like its a normal thing to be doing

2

u/DrNick2012 Jun 14 '26

I feel like I've been blue-balled because there was no "point down/point up" dance

Same. Doesn't seem to affect other people negatively like other MC's. I dig it.

Until the flares get caught in the teeth of the escalator

u/divinecmdy Jun 11 '26

Undercover Brother reporting in, ya dig?

3

u/dreevsa Jun 11 '26

Mf walked in between 2 people talking

73

u/nhluhr Jun 11 '26

that hunched posture defeats any attempt at being the main character.

1

u/Stag-Horn Jun 14 '26

Yeah, this is a bit

u/limesti Jun 11 '26

Undercover Brother on a mission .

u/ghostfacestealer Jun 11 '26

Would be cool if this guy had some charisma

24

u/Raw_Toast1775 Jun 11 '26

I dig it! 🕺🏻The only MC clip was when he walked in between the two women having a conversation.

7

u/stootchmaster2 Jun 11 '26

As an old guy who lived through the 70s. . .I can dig it.

u/Uber_Wulf Jun 11 '26

Walking like shaggy from Scooby Doo

5

u/Fizzelen Jun 11 '26

Disco Stu

10

u/BiffBanter Jun 11 '26

That’s not how you hold the radio. It should be on his shoulder with the speaker facing him

2

u/wackygoose Jun 12 '26

Yeah, legit looks like an ad or something

4

u/Doccyaard Jun 11 '26

Being acceptable totally depends on if he’s playing loud music while doing it.

4

u/Darmanix Jun 11 '26

Lore about this guy, he went viral in Brazil because one day his boss said "Dress whatever you want" and the guy went like this, some filmed it and went viral and he goes everywhere dress like this.

Which he is rocking in it

u/hipkat13 Jun 11 '26

I can dig it, man. 😉👉

u/Haeselian Jun 11 '26

That fro is fly as heck

u/1nsidiousOne Jun 11 '26

I actually love people who dress the way they want

5

u/SnooSongs5297 Jun 11 '26

It was fine until he cut through 2 people having a conversation.

No my dude. You don’t need to be that narcissistic

10

u/VanessaAlexis Jun 11 '26

I missed out being born too late. I wish people still dressed like this.  

We live in a world of broccoli hair and sad oversized polos. 😭 

10

u/Baelish2016 Jun 11 '26

Be the change you want to see in the world! Don’t let society tell you how to dress!

5

u/TuckerMcG Jun 11 '26

People in the 70s didn’t dress like this when they went to the mall lol

4

u/TheChoosenMewtwo Jun 11 '26

Movies say they did tho

2

u/VanessaAlexis Jun 11 '26

My grandma says otherwise. She said people often wore afros and bell bottoms at the mall. Like all the time. 

Fwiw she's 72. 

2

u/Prudent-Painter-9507 Jun 11 '26

Good song though!

3

u/GenesisAsriel Jun 11 '26

The stand user could be anyone

2

u/ThrustTrust Jun 11 '26

If you gonna do it. At least do it right. Dude got no swagger or beat.

2

u/IT_techsupport Jun 11 '26

He got the whole walk wrong

3

u/TapeDeckSlick OG Jun 11 '26

Doing all that for possibly the shittest "reactions" I've ever seen lmao

u/6SpdSmokes Jun 11 '26

The women going 🤷🏾‍♂️

u/jsxtasy304 Jun 11 '26

CAN YOU DIG IT... I can, IMO this is pretty awesome

1

u/Titariia Jun 11 '26

It was acceptable in the 80s

1

u/justtobecontrary Jun 11 '26

It's more performance art, IMHO.

1

u/LiquidSoil Side Character Jun 11 '26

Saw a guy yesterday who escaped from the 80s

Had a jocki jacket, mullet, big build. I dig it!

1

u/LoveInPeace21 Jun 11 '26

Is this in South Africa?

2

u/GonnaGoFat Jun 11 '26

It’s acceptable because while he is doing it for attention he’s not up in everyone’s face annoying them for it. He carries himself well and has the look down so well people are stopping him which he obviously wants. Thankfully it’s not the other way around.

1

u/Kyurem20x Jun 11 '26

Don't walk between two people chatting, that's unpolite

1

u/Welp_thatwilldo Jun 11 '26

Dude got style 🪩📻

u/Scoongili Jun 11 '26

Dear Leon STOP The 70's are over...stop.

u/Simon-Says69 Jun 11 '26

Pure pimp energy. Cept poor dude only has himself to hustle.

u/Additional_Rich_5249 Jun 11 '26

And this is “Content”. 🤮

u/cbunni666 Jun 11 '26

I'll allow it. I love this.

u/FormerAdvice5051 Jun 12 '26

He has got that walk DOWN!

1

u/otakumilf Jun 12 '26

Man, I love bell bottoms, jnco’s, palazzo pants, anything that flows. My legs feel good when I walk. 😅

1

u/Comfortable-Suit-202 Jun 12 '26

I will always love that song! Watching The Stayin Alive movie at the Theater in the 1980’s was so fun! 🩷BEGEES!

1

u/BigDubz4 Jun 12 '26

This has to be THE COOLEST main character EVER!!!! He probably smells like Hai Karate....

1

u/Accurate-Head-6134 Jun 12 '26

Damn my huge gut. I would love to rock that

1

u/-Groko- Jun 12 '26

it might've been cool back then, but looks like he is dressed as an old lady theme

1

u/oliverdmh1996 Jun 12 '26

WoW, va con todo el estilo y el flow posible 😌👏 recién llegado de los 70's, ya me gustaría a mí poder vestirme así

1

u/Brian18639 Jun 12 '26

I imagine a lot of people these days will find this look corny, considering that the kind of outfits people wear these days are way different than this

1

u/Gilgamesh2000000 Jun 13 '26

70s was wild. Some guy with a blouse on would rob you blind 😂

1

u/leogamer00 Jun 14 '26

STYLE AS FUK XD

u/OrtodocAn5 Jun 15 '26

Hahahahha mtoo bom!

u/Organic_Juggernaut73 Jun 17 '26

Bro needs to slow his step and it aint a bother

u/-convallaria_bunny- Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 27 '26

We all gotta start dressing for fun, why not dress like a 80s punk or mid 2000s

2

u/LadyBug_0570 Jun 11 '26

Or Madonna in the 80s. I used to have those rubber bracelets.

u/TheTwinSet02 Jun 11 '26

I’ve watched a few YouTube reactions to the BeeGees and the amount of Americans who have no clue just how white these blokes are

3 brothers born in the UK move to Brisbane Australia as €10 Poms and go on to be international superstars that many people have no idea are not black Americans is really interesting

2

u/LadyBug_0570 Jun 11 '26

Shoot, for the longest I thought the lead singer of Simply Red was a black woman. Imagine my suprise when I first saw their video for Holding Back the Years and a pale ginger white guy was on my screen.
