Punks that dress in patched clothes do so because they don’t want to support the industry of sweat shops, exploited labor, and fast fashion. They’d rather buy something used and patch it forever.
That’s an example of an aesthetic that comes from an ethic.
Okay but how is a smelly nerd who buys Pokemon tshirts more ethical than a Stacy who buys clothing from Nordstrom they both participate in the same consooming behavior, pleasing their corporate overlords.
The difference is the ethic. Or lack thereof.
I’m not sure I know this use of the term ethic, but it sounds interesting. Care to define or illuminate?

I don’t think either of those are lead by an ethic, and therefore they are both equally terrible
…unless the Pokémon shirt was purchased second hand
