You don't often think about the history of the hoodie, so this was a refreshing experience. Also, it's May and I haven't worn a hoodie in three months and don't plan to wear one again until December. I do have a question, though... What was that chick's college major? Hoodie Studies? Did she take Drawstring 101 and Marsupial Pouch Ed? How bored are you with your life to make a four-minute video discussing hoodies?
I wonder how long that woman has been studying the hoodie. What a useless way to spend your life, to put it in context imagine if I came out with a documentary on the art of the plastic thing on the end of your shoelace. Overall great video! It was a relaxing watch during these stressful times of having to gain 400 points in Gamzon's project and create a full length film in two days.
When you look at a hoodie you just see something to keep you warm or something you just wear when you don't wanna dress up at all. No one ever thinks about where the hoodie has come from or what it represents. It was interesting to know where the hoodie came from. I also find it interesting when she said that the hoodie is used as some sort of protection and comfort, both physically and metaphorically. Nonetheless, the hoodie is a revolutionary object that holds unimaginable power.
This was a video that I never imagined seeing. I really never cared about why I would wear hoodies or the history about them, but it was interesting seeing how hoodies have developed over the years. Hoodies have been seen as something good, but they have also been seen as something bad. The person in the video said that hoodies were meant for athletic people to keep them warm, but then boy bands, skaters, and etc. have started wearing them. Nowadays people wear hoodies to feel comfortable or to look cool. I really never thought about the ancient people that have worn hoodies or the meaning behind it. It's interesting to see how every single thing, even if it's as simple as a hoodie, has a big meaning/power.
Although I wouldn't watch the Ted Talk on my own, it was a good way to start the class, even though we watched it in the middle of first period. When it comes to the video, I found it pretty useless. People wear it all the time, it isn't really that big of a deal where you have to go look at the psychological effects of it. She said we call them "humble masterpieces". No one does at all. A hoodie is a nice piece of clothing and it is comforting. The part where she mentioned how we can date it back to the ancient Greeks and Romans was interesting, other than that I wouldn't be bothered at all if I didn't watch the video.
It's interesting to see how hoodies were basically made to keep athletes warm and then they were adapted by workers. Eventually hoodies made it to the streets because skateboarders and athletes would also wear them. This video also took it back to the time when Trayvon Martins death brought support and also the use of hoodies. That portion of the video showed how hoodies have formed a bigger part in the world than just clothing. Hoodies have formed part of a revolution.
I don't really think much of hoodies. They're an everyday thing people use to stay warm when the chilly weather comes around. For some people its essential. When we wear things such as these we don't think much of it.They're just objects that'll help us go through our day. I never even thought about how a hoodie was made or where it came from. This makes you think of how many other things are out there that have meaning, but we don't really think about or discuss. If someone were to walk up to me right now and ask me what a hoodie means to me I would have absolutely no response to that question. I wouldn't watch this type of ted talk on my own. There are a bunch of odd things on the internet. The fact that someone came across this video didn't surprise me one bit. Hoodies are comforting. The one thing I found interesting from this is how the hoodie can be traced back to many years.
