Doesn't work, IMO. It looks like crap even though its expensive, and too many other people are doing the exact same thing.

This was always my impression. The fact that the people you most often see wearing them are completely roided out, have ridiculous faux hawks (with frosted tips optional), garish jewelry and tattoos etc. The shiny t-shirt which being a recognized expensive brand name supposedly lauds more importance and distinction on the wearer by drawing more attention to them while simultaneously showing how much money they have.
On the other end of the spectrum there are the guys who look like skids that want to mimic the bulked up types since they get vacuous attractive women who are pulled in by the aforementioned peacocking. The problem for these guys is that they look ridiculous not having the accompanying features so they end up having spent all their money on ugly t-shirts, looking like idiots, and not getting laid.
And the rest of us just watch from the sidelines laughing all the way.
