You want the aesthetics, without acknowledging the origins
You want to be good looking without putting the work in
What's the issue, it's just colour and patterns
Yeah, but they're formed from philosophies and passions
So, before going any further, let me state my thesis
All of design is subject to hysteresis
Which means it doesn't just exist in the here and now
This can seem theoretical, so let me explain how
A loving collage of pins piercings and junk
More than just music, there's the world of punk
It's not just "rebellion" in a marketable form
It's a sign of a world where resistance is born
Punk isn't comfortable, it's anger and rage
Captured in vocal fry and a dirty journal page
So if you want to dress punk, it's good to know
About the feelings that go along with the 'fro
Similarly, I have a love for Hayao Miyazaki
From studio Ghibli, father of Totoro and Kiki
So much care in each animation cell
Shared within every story as well
I'm sure he'd be thrilled, if you were to draw his creation,
But far less so if you resorted to AI generation
You've not worked as he did, but wanted the feeling
That made that style seem so welcome and appealing
Look, styles change. Anyone can wear or draw anything.
I'm not saying you have to research every note before you sing.
But it's not only enriching, but respectful to the creator
To research an aesthetic before you become an imitator
If you like an aesthetic, acknowledge the origin
Know why it means so much before you add your spin
Combine it all with your own philosophy and passion
And find an honest place in the world of fashion
