Stutter Shades

Today I saw my first awkward preteen without style wearing shutter shades in a town without a street style blog. Where did this girl even hear about these? Does she read a lot of blogs? My confusion surrounds the notion that shutter shades never seemed to actually be cool, just something Kanye did for an album promo. And now they're being mass marketed by fred flare/forever 21 for the mainstream alt who forever wants to be barely legal? No one started wearing leopard print Russian hats when M.I.A.'s (RIP) album Kala came out last year (is that even what's on her head?) Anyway, wasn't Kanye just copying LeVar Burton's character in Star Trek The Next Generation? Apparently, the future is now.
