Why do people here hate Abercrombie and Hollisters so much

I made a thread about asking a question. The question was do you wear abercrombie or Hollisters. Man I never would have known what that thread turned into. People just bash it left and right. It wasn't that they didn't like A&F and HCO but that they really really hated those stores. I ask now why?

It was almost like fanboys coming bashing other game system except this was bashing Abercrombie and HCO

There's a huge difference between dislike and hate. I sensed that people hate Abercrombie and Hollisters in myearlierthread. It was definitely not dislike. I understand that people might not like the store and clothes but to hate. That is something completely different

I'm not gonna post any quotes but heres a link to that my earlier thread

is it because its a Preppy store.

Not to mention cheap perfume that is chemically injected into everything with those stores.

To be honest. I've never even been into any of the stores.

But I don't really like the style.

There are some people on Gamespot who hated the "popular" kids of high school that wore those brands. CommanderShiro

Or with just think it sucks. :?

I love looking good in public, but there so many other clothing company's you can wear and look better. To me those companies or people who wear in constantly have no sense of style.

but people here hate that store so much. Dislike would be if they just didn't like the clothes. Like I dislike Clothes at Hot Topic but I don't hate that place.

People alwasy will hate something that dosen't deserve the spot light. What has those company's done diffrent from other clothing lines? Nothing. They put same logo's and same symbol on all of there clothes. Nothing revloutionary really. But yet the sell, sell, sell. I don't hate it. It's just something that's not that great.

Users don't like those stores because they are inherently conformist. And it just isn't proper to endorse anything that other people like or enjoy.

In fact, to be a good GS user you must despise anything that might be viewed as conformist. This includes things that the majority of the population might use or like such as food, toilet paper, or toothpaste. It's just not kosher.

pretending like you don't do these things is also rather conformist.

I don't hate Abercrombie or Hollisters, their clothes just aren't appealing to me.

I can find stuff I like more at cheaper prices.

The clothes there are ridiculously expensive. Why pay extra for a pair of pants that have holes in them? If I wanted holes in my pants I would make them myself. People, you got to earn your holes! Plus every single piece of clothing or clothing accessory is plastered with the stores name. Why would I want that? I just hate the whole preppy kid style. I'll stick with my jeans and band shirts thanks.Immortalica

I don't know why people hate the style so much. I think it's because it's the "popular" thing. My sense is most people on this site are not "popular"... they feel like they are on some "I'm an individual" type bull****. I'm unique.. YEAH!

All I know is, when you wear clothes like Abercrombie, girls think it looks good, you actually look nice and presentable, and parents and everybody else thinks it looks clean. Messy hair, band teeshirts and grungy jeans do not look good. Girls think, just another loser, the older crowd thinks it's just some punk, and overall it just doesn't look good.

I hate Abercrombie because all of the clothes are the same and are unecessarily expensive. Since Hollister is even worse about that, I hate them, too.scorch-62

Wear it if you want. You can look sexy wearing diffrent brands. Getting shirts like these show that your not you average hollister bandwagon kid. Alot them are the same price too.

I hate them because their shirts always have their logo in big letters. I prefer shirts with cool designs and colors.MrEnvelope

i hate the two companies simply cause the people who wear that crap seem to all be generally the same type of person. definitely gonna be white, usually from a liberated home, a sub urban kinda area. thats GENEREALLY speaking, I can be much more specific about the type of people who wear this crap and I would probably be describing around 15-20 % of the people who wear either of the two.

plus they plaster their name all over the damn clothing. and seriously, since when the hell did it become okay to buy jeans with holes and bleach stains on them for 200 dollars? ridiculous

i think some ppl are so into not doing what others are they wont do something even if its good/smart. they just try to conform with the ppl who claim they dont want to conform. i mean when you walk by a group and everybody is wearing a black shirt with the name of some band in big letters across the front (sound familiar?) it looks stupid and there is no individuality. at least these places have different colors and there are different designs for the shirts. i personally do wear it but i also wear other clothes.

and im not saying you guys neccesarily fall into that category but i have seen a lot of ppl that do

I don't like their graphic shorts that much, I've gotten some great graphic tees in other stores. I do not like having their logo in my shirts because i don't find that attractive.

People of all races wear hollister and abercrombie. I know plenty of black people and mexicans who wear it. And who cares if they plaster their name on the clothing? That's the point. You want people to know what brand it is. That's the point of designer style clothing. (When it comes to tee shirts). Not to mention, they have humor tees, which don't have the brand on it at all. And, not to mention, the polo shirts, longs sleeve button downs, etc, all have just the little moose logo on them. Just like Polo Ralph Lauren (the polo player), Just like Lacoste (the alligator), etc. The only shirts they have with their name all over it is SOME tee shirts.

Not to mention the jeans are not 200 bucks. Abercrombie they are about 90 bucks for jeans, and Hollister I believe they are about 60 ish.
