“Just when you thought this guy couldn’t fit any more subcultures on his body he stuffed pirate in there at the last second.”
-SBTVC, 2k8
The Purgatory Alt is stuck in no man’s land, with no obvious personal brand to implement. He is stuck in purgatory, frantically grabbing at what he perceives to be indicators of being affiliated with a ‘relevant subculture.’ Such as:
- the Agyness Deyn Top Hat.
- anti-’Nazi corporate logo’
- Punk denim vest
- Camouflage shorts
- Baseball pants
- Miscellaneous altSkateboarding Sneakers
- Grandma scarf
- ‘take me seriously’ facial hair
- Hook + fingerless gloves
The truth is, we are all searching for the best way to represent ourselves. We just want people to ‘get’ us without having to talk 2 us. We’re all the same, yall. No matter what we choose to wear. Should I give up my well-defined ALT personal aesthetic and search for a ‘new representation’ of ‘me’?

this laundry pile definitely has his own hodgepodge personal brand. it’s all in the details, like the red bull instead of sparks.

Personal brands are way too much work… I have a hard enough time deciding what AA alt-band t-shirt to wear to shows… too obscure? Not obscure enough? Not local enough to be “authentic”? And of course anything on pitchforks best of 2kwhatever is out…. it’s all so confusing!
