I would like to let everyone know that I have been "officially" accepted as a Karmaloop.com rep. What this means is that I can now ask people to buy stuff from this website using my "rep code" and in return, I will be given either a) points to get free gear or b) cash. Sadly, a ton of people would have to use my "rep code" before I could get anything from the site (if I ever decide to use it myself).
I used to despise Karmaloop.com because it made several "underground" streetwear brands available to everyone. The streetwear scene was something that I kept up with constantly and I liked the fact that you had to hunt for certain items you wanted. I felt that Karmaloop was ruining the "exclusivity" factor of streetwear. After all, many of the other streetwear heads I know got into the scene to be different from everyone else and if everyone else can buy the same thing, then it loses that appeal.
I guess you could compare it to how hipsters love indie rock bands, but as soon as they get into the mainstream, they stop listening to them since they technically aren't "indie" anymore (I love using quotes). But, I realize that this is a selfish idea and if you like something, you shouldn't stop liking it because it becomes "mainstream". Anyway, there are still a bunch of other "underground" brands Karmaloop doesn't have LOL.
Go cop gear with my link or with my repcode: JO29876
