i believe that varies a lot between areas and subscenes; in any case, its at least valuable for the sake of being complete. also, snapbacks alone dont make a stereotypical hiphop outfit - its the ensemble that makes it. its like the difference between wearing a black shirt + blue jeans and wearing a full-on metal scene outfit, including weird black pants with miscalleneous straps (ive seen some wtf stuff), spiked wrist bands and some kind of panda makeup.

Different occasions are supposed to have a different mix.

theres a uniform? no one told me

Hypothetical. Metaphorical. Bleh. I wasn't even referring to chipmusic "scene". Just "scenes" with traditionally distinctive clothing articles involved, e.g. dude ranch scene, corporate scene, homeless scene, farmer scene, cyber goth scene, etc..

If the guy is trying to figure out what's what, clothing, whether you like it or not, is something that should at least be taken into account, even if to simply determine that it doesn't matter. Clothes have a deep history of being significant, after all. Can't deny such a rich heritage of mattering.

theres a uniform? no one told me

neon-orange west, assless chaps and eskimo sunglasses. get with the program!

Clothes matter in some way, no matter how "enlightened" you as an individual are. Clothes still matter in some way or another. The crowd ain't going to snub you for not dressing in Class A uniform, but that doesn't mean the uniform doesn't mean anything at all to anybody.

This is a study. Ask all the questions you can.

I don't just mean snapbacks, I mean hip hop/skater clothing. There's a fair amount of crossover in most scenes tbh

those pants are bondage pants, and far from exclusive to metal scenes...

perhaps not exclusive, but the point im making is that you only see them in certain scenes, its not normal streetwear.
also, its less about determining what get-up would make people throw you out of the location, and more about finding out IF there is any style (or plurality of styles) that is common for the scene. probably.
