All of us when we were younger dressed in some form that older people did not like. Its just ironic that the same people who are calling these kids thugs, were the kids in the ripped jeans and metal t shirts and long hair who peopel thought were trouble makers when they were young. How easily we forget. If you have a problem with how this KIDS dress get over it. Most of these kids will grow out of this fase( just like almost all of us did) and will dress a little more mature as each year goes by.

Oh, I was one of those kids with long hair and all that stuff you mentioned. Of course, I didn't go into interviews wearing ripped jeans and concert t-shirts. But I did have an interviewer tell me (on more than one occasion) that if I wanted the job, I had to cut my hair. So yeah, I do know what it is like. And no, I have not forgotten that. That's why I try to see what a person is like on the inside rather than just the outside.
