Stuff B-Boys Like: Dressing like a Power Ranger
POSTED ON March 24th, 2010 BY Calvin
No, I’m not referring to the actual costumes, though there are b-boys who like to dance while dressed up as Power Rangers.
In case you don’t catch the reference, the show Power Rangers was about a group of multicultural high school kids who were given dinosaur powers by a giant floating head. There was also a robot who was prone to yelling, “Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi!”
Anyway, aside from the aforementioned dinosaurs, each member was also assigned a color. And, despite the fact that it was a total giveaway of their secret identities, each ranger would wear almost nothing but that color, even in everyday life.
Now, there’s nothing wrong with matching colors, but there’s also such a thing as understatement and subtlety.
Why are there more and more b-boys (myself included) who insist on dressing like we’ve been dipped in a tub of paint? Is it really that exciting to have everything — including your laces, belt, and underwear — match?

Don’t make fun of me for wearing all yellow and a skirt you jerk.
Best MTAS post ever! lol
I think you’re missing the point. Ever think… maybe all of us B-boys and B-girls are in fact, Power Rangers?!?
I’m just trying to live out my childhood fantasy alright!

I knew some would post that up there eventually.
i guess its not wrong, its totally up to the person to dress in exactly however they like, just the matter is why do they dress that way? is it because they are trend followers or do they actually like it. fact is we never know, so let them be until they figure out their own style or the identity that they’ve long been looking for. peace.
