Marketing techniques, comercial, or really bad taste

I wanted to write about this for several months, but I've been really busy lately and I didn't get the chance to post any more.
Have you noticed (mostly readers who live in Romania), that lately fashion has a very negative impact over good taste? Nowadays people aren't buying a good T-Shirt just because it has a good material, or it's warm and cozy, no, people buy the T-Shirt because it has a HUGE, golden "PUMA" logo on it... I mean really are we buying the brand or the T-Shirt...well...judging by the prices we are certainly buying the brand, but people are just looking at the brand, if it has a big Puma, Nike, or other famous brand shining, glittering on the chest it's a keeper.
Excuse me if I'm wrong, but every time I go out on the street i see countless persons wearing the same type of shirts with big shiny logos, where is fashion and good taste going to?

'hang on,little tomato'.things won't change pretty soon.and why would they change?for some,to be 'brandy' :) it's a must.why shouldn't they buy,like fools('scuse me)what other people expect them to buy?they are some sort of banners :)) they just carry the message and they are really proud of them.guess it's considered "cool" to be like that.so,why bother trying smth else? dunno,that's just my opinion..

well where will be the fun, if each of us will have an other T-shirt? they don't want to wear the same clothes like our mates(at school), but they buy the same things 'cause they are fashioned... and i think it is also marketing technique, comercial and really BAD taste(or not taste at all).

today i saw the most "sweet" thing ever: we ware 8 in the class this morning, and 5 of them had stripped t-shirts!!!! that's why i hate fashion.
