Has anyone else noticed that the society is using peace signs and peace merchandise as a fashion symbol? I ask some people that i see wearing it if they actually believe in it and most of them just say, "No i just like the style" Peace is not a trend, its a belief. And yet the only music now that talks about peace is when the person at the end is "signing out" of their songs by going, "Peace!" and using the hand symbol… Does this bother anyone else but me? Its almost as if they are trying to imitate the 60s but in a completely worse way. Considering the amount of technology there is people are refusing to be as creative as they were back then anyways. And the Jonas Brothers- Beatles comments…. I mean in society today who would you consider has made the biggest impact on the world when it comes to music…. Like a John Lennon impact? surely not Eminem, and NEVER the jobros.
I guess this is kind of just a pole, but really if im 14 and can realize it… idk i guess im just wondering if im alone here. Anyone else noticing this?
You would be surprised how many people are blind conformists/ wear and do things they do not know about or what they mean.
Its a part of society ignorance. This isnt the first symbol nor the last to be like this.

i think it is because of the vintage fad. People pick up symbols and signs and they have no idea what it means. I wonder if someday the sign for the Nazi regime will ever be used as a fashion statement. I agree with you 100%

Keffiyeh’s are fashion symbols as well. I was talking to a classmate a few days back and asked him why he wears the keffiyeh. He said, "cuz Kanye wears it."
I loved that honesty. I was a bit concerned by it, yet I loved it.
Edit: Keffiyeh = checkered scarf, square with frayed ends. Often worn in a triangle around one’s neck. A symbol of Palestinian nationalism.

Yes! i know exactly what you mean! ugh god is so nice to hear someone else say it besides the little voice in my head. the Jonas brothers suck and can’t compare to the beatles. I don’t really think that anyone has made the john lennon impact ever since john died himself. I wear peace signs because i believe in uttermost peace. People should never think otherwise.

I know! I hate that.
In a photo of our robotics team, this girl is showing the peace sign (you know, the fingers). And we were having a discussion about it on facebook, and she was saying how the peace sign makes the picture better. She hardly even knows what peace means. I have a shirt with a peace sign on it, but I actually follow what John Lennon said.
… pop culture is taking over the world.
