Why do young people like to wear black?

Who told you that when you wear black means that you don't see the future positively. Common, there are many successful people who wear black with bright future. I enjoy wearing black and I don't think it has to do with the future. It more on what attract me. I could also not go for those bright yellow or shouting pink to have that bright future.

Lots of teenager/young people enjoy wearing black since they are just only following the new fashion trends to feel they are not left out from others. And for those Old people they love bright colors since that was the fashion trend when they were teenagers so they get used to wearing those bright colors. Person wearing black or any dark color doesn't mean that he/she view the future negatively it is the only way how they express their selves and feel comfortable when using it and also person who wears bright colors doesn't mean that they have a positive view towards future. No matter what we wear we must always help each other to improve our future for the next generation. =)

I also like wearing black it is so classy and elegant. I am not sure why young genre loves to wear black these days. They say it's for emo or emotional ones. But,I really like black dress with special occasions.

i guess you really meant "adolescents", and not necessarily the young people. this idea of wearing black is part of their "rebellion' towards authority. in the earlier days, black is a nuisance. and being adolescents, they tend to go againts this authority. thus, black became their color of choice, adding to media and trend influence.

I don't think it is right to blame wearing black to the things that's happening with our life or our society. A lot of people wear black normally because they feel their slimmer compared to wearing light colors. Some wear black because it is a color that goes along easy with a lot of other colors, mixing and matching won't be a problem with this. Young people wearing black use it for fashion and I don't think it won't reflect or make our life dark if we wear or loves the color black. If people think black then that is different.

yess it just because youung people favorate black color to wear which is because easy to wash hahaha me too i want black t shirt too

I wore alot of black as a teenager. I do not think that it was in any way a reflection of my attitude. Now I only wear black pants because you can put any color with it...lol. But there are more and more kids that I see that are unhappy and so they wear black. So I think it all depends on who the person is and what they like or are like. My mother in law and mother love bright colors. I am just a different kind of person than them.

I like wearing black because it somehow hides my flabs hahahaah! Furthermore, it wont be obvious if you soil a black dress.

I like the color black. I don't always wear it, but when I do, it's not because I have a negative view on life. Some people just like the color black...Just like some people like the colors purple, pink, blue, etc. It doesn't reflect on how they they view the world, in my opinion.

I wish I can say I am young, but I also like black. Easy maintenance and most of all, hides some of the bulge. I am not too sure that many young people like to wear black, unless there is a part of town that I did not go where you see them in black. Or maybe they think it looks cool, like men in black. Have you collected statistics to make the statement? Maybe you might be surprised?

As a young girl, I love black color...I always like to choose black color for my dress....In my view, black's brightness shows our character...I feel very freshness in black color dress...It's very difficult to wear black in hot season....I think that Black gives me pretty and cute look...Black gives me satisfaction,courage and comfort...I love to see the people that I love in black dress... :-)

I think its probably bec so many youngsters are over weight and have heard black makes you look small...no just kidding...but I have not noticed that about them but I truly have noticed the older adults wearing many more bright clothing..I would never say that older adults have seen too much to reflect their choice of clothing..but I think that as we age our choices expand and we are willing to try a lot more colors.

Yes, i noticed it, and when I was a teen I used to wear black too. I don't know that I felt depressed because I wore black, or I wore black because i felt depressed, but yes there is something related to the attitude. I also wore black because I wanted to look slimmer, now I prefer more brightful colors as they can cheer me up a little bit.

because of temparature, if the temparature hq hot they wear cool color, anyway it depends on what they want.

i think i have not noticed this much on young people. i usually thought that the youngsters like colorful clothings these days?

In some study, dark colors especially the black gives less attention compared to the lighter ones. This might be one of the reason why there are people who likes to wear black clothes. They don't want to get much attention from others. I also like black and I am fun of wearing it simply because it makes me look slim... I guess... hehe.. :D

The reason for this is simple, black goes with anything. Teenagers have been wearing black ever since as long as I can remember. It has less than nothing to do with the state of the country. It has nothing to do with their outlook on life. Well most of them everywhere. I am sure that some of them have a negative outlook on life. Of course, I'm certain that some people who wear bright colors also have a negative outlook in life. So yeah, the fact of the matter is that black just really does look good with most of everything. Those who wear black are not making any kind of statement. They are just wearing black just for the fact that it is going to be something that they are going to be able to wear to look good with them. So yeah, sometimes people wear black just to wear black because black tends to go with all body types for instance.

I had never thought of it that way and in my case I don't think that to be true too. I wear black and majority of my wardrobe clothes are black or dark colors, that's not coz I don't appreciate my life or don't have a positive feeling towards life, it's more like I like the color black and one of the reasons is that it makes me look slimmer than I actually am

Really? Well, I know I wear black because it makes me look a bit more slimmer and I'm into the emo and punk stuff so I tend to wear black. I guess it's the new trend though, some teens prefer black to look better but it may reflect attitudes as well, it depends on the wearer. I simply wear it because I like the look of it but it's not the best to wear on a hot day because you're basically sweating buckets in it. I know some teens wear it for a fashion such as the scene style in which teens dress up like little goths. But generally, it's popular due to it's slimming effect, I know my friends like black tights so that their legs look slimmer and more attractive. It could be a form of rebellion but I don't think so.

I don't know what you call young people or old people but here young people are surely not wearing more black colours as elderly people do. Elderly people are still the ones who wear less colorfull clothes (black, dark blue, grey, brown). Personally I like black, it always looks great and it fits with any colour. I am also not the kind of person that would wear all these colourfull clothes and I never did. Already as a kid I did not. I don't feel comfortable in it plus I don't feel the need to get attention by shouting colours (which give me headaches as well). It is also proved that a lot of colours (same with animé/cartoons on tv)can really drive people crazy, they get stressed, over active. I think we have enough shouting colours all around us, plus shouting tvs an overcrowed world full of cars and people. Perhaps just one colour is a good way to ease/calm your mind. What you say about god and colours... sorry but I really don't know what god has to do with it. Nature is mostly green - blue - brown and grey and it's harmony! Harmony eases the mind all the shouting colours people made are surely not.
