There are obviously differences between what the South considers "fratty" dressing and what people wear on the West Coast. I know it's been discussed in another thread... one good example is the South Carolina palmetto symbol. Most people outside the South cannot fathom the concept of wearing their state flag's emblem on belts, flip flops, Tshirts, etc. and having that be a cool look.

BUT what's funny to me is the incredible emphasis on clothing that the fratty.net posters seem to express all over their message board (and now so graciously delivering their message here as well). They analyze what is Fratty and NF to agonizing detail... brands, colors, etc. THAT is pretty... um... brokeback. Some of those guys over there have lost the spirit of not giving a fuck, and that's pretty much what makes the whole look, IMO.
