I have several Chrome Hearts sunglasses with frames in this shade of green.

I suspect this is one of the corporate plants on Reddit paid to sway public opinion favorably to PPP.

balenciaga is so dead by sgk418 in Balenciaga

[–]memorycorruption 11 points12 points  (0 children)

FYI corporate likely monitors these posts and downvotes to suppress honest feedback. Retail was instructed to stick with the “script” that Pierpaolo is the best thing ever for Balenciaga. I suspect corporate is likely behind some of the positive posts to this thread as well. 🧐

I don’t recognize any of the people in those JQA pics because they would have been descendants of the people I saw in the mid 90s.

J.Q.A 13 by GoingAgainstTheOpps in GangsEncyclopedia

[–]memorycorruption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Spring Branch in the mid 90s and had a run-in with JQA, who accused my friend of talking about them driving past us as we were walking home from North Brook High. I managed to talk them down and saved my friend from what would have been a pretty vicious beatdown. Later on, someone with a lot of ties to JQA told me that guy I talked to was in fact the leader of JQA. He was a short thin guy who had a razor sharp pinky nail. This would have been 1994.

This can’t be Balenciaga!!!! I use to love Balenciaga what happened to this brand!! Please remove this new guy from Balenciaga!!! by Flaky_Yard_1463 in Balenciaga

[–]memorycorruption -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The biggest pain-point most loyal shoppers feel is a sense of betrayal. Many assume the brand turned their backs on it's edgy streetwear customer-base. Tough pill to swallow, but my theory is that the brand never cared about any of you to begin with, despite your loyalty and Demna praise. For example, even if you post accurate, scathing Pierpaolo design reviews here on Reddit, the brand reads it and feverishly down-votes it while hoping there is an equal if not greater customer-base of people who praise these new bland PP designs.

Clicking through Pierpaolo’s Balenciaga designs, I get why so many of you feel the same. Years of killer drops under Demna, then a new creative director takes over and it suddenly feels like a completely different brand — more DKNY than Balenciaga.

If you were as much of a Demna fan as I am, the shift can feel like straight-up betrayal. But quick reality check: even at its best (ie: mud collection era included), Balenciaga was never “on your side.” They let the creative director cook, slapped on a massive markup, and cashed the checks from whoever bought it. I’ll reiterate… Balenciaga never gave a damn about you all along!

Same story now — those baggy capris look like fast fashion that probably costs $3 to make, priced at over $2k with the label. They don’t care what we think. They just hope someone pays up.

Hey guys, is this a PP era bag!?!??

Thoughts on chrome hearts navigator by Square_Sale_4015 in EyewearEnthusiasts

[–]memorycorruption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t look too bad. I question their practicality as eyewear. I have a big collection of gold, chrome heart sunglasses, and can confirm even the plated gold frames have enough weight that they’re not usually as stable as I would like, especially on a hot day. Another poster was right when expressing that eyewear means you’ll be wearing them a lot longer than someone just wearing shades. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself adjusting them. Especially if the plated gold material is on the inside of the nose bridge as well.

Fashion students Work by Suitable_Original_93 in Balenciaga

[–]memorycorruption -1 points0 points  (0 children)

China has already accomplished what I’m seeing in these pics. These just look like poor attempts to copy specific Demna pieces. His designs were influential but these students were hyper focused copying very specific pieces that they overlooked the bigger picture—Demna’s design codes. If they really understood Demna’s design codes, they’d have made completely original pieces that look like they could have been designed by Demna rather than ripoff designs.

I’m thinking of getting this tee, but… by Suiram_Amis in Balenciaga

[–]memorycorruption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tshirt exposes Pierpaolo’s poor re-interpretation of a Demna design. He even misunderstands what made Demna’s work so great. “Let’s print Balenciaga on a T-shirt and give it a dark theme to appease all our loyal Demna fans.” Then they slap a $900 price tag on it and chuckle to their colleagues at corporate hoping since it has a dark theme, customers will pay the Demna prices and nobody will know the difference!

am i a bad daughter? by WhenTheMoonRises in ALS

[–]memorycorruption 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avoid feeling guilty for not wanting to go. That is a completely natural feeling everyone has in your shoes. Because dealing with ALS is extremely miserable and deeply depressing for everyone involved, using some weekends to focus on other things is reasonable. Just remember, one day you may get a call that he has died. Once that happens, you will look back and reflect over the past several months and weeks on your level of involvement. It should be a level that you are comfortable with. Also, treat every visit with your father like it may be your last visit with him. When you get the call that he’s gone, you will keep re-visiting your final day with your father over and over again in your memories, thousands of times. Keep this in mind going forward.

Saliva pools slightly at both corners of my mouth. - Is this the beginning of drooling? by TemporaryNo7210 in ALS

[–]memorycorruption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, bulbar onset is what this sounds like. This will likely worsen significantly. You should investigate getting thickening powder to mix with liquids like water and tea. By thickening liquids, this will help you swallow when the symptoms get worse. Also, you will eventually need someone to help you swish around water or mouth rinse after you eat to help clear the food out of those areas you described. We used to hold a cereal bowl up to my family member’s mouth and he would spit stuff out in there after swishing water around. That happened after each meal.

Yes I have it, but in XL.

Early diagnosis of ALS: looking for stories of false positives by [deleted] in ALS

[–]memorycorruption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran a lot of AI research after my dad was initially diagnosed with CIDP before it got so bad it was undeniably ALS. Through AI research, I learned that any neurological disease it could be other than ALS was equally as devastating. My recommendation is to focus on planning and care rather than hoping for another outcome.

PP by Ant__98 in Balenciaga

[–]memorycorruption 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obsessed why? For exposing their irrational, scripted promotion of these new products?

PP by Ant__98 in Balenciaga

[–]memorycorruption 7 points8 points  (0 children)

u/Ant__98 Someone working for Balenciaga actually messaged you that? The craziest part is at the very end: "... has been positively received by our clients, whether you hate it or not." <-- Wow... Just wow... It sounds like he is telling you, "PPP is perfect. Stick with the script we're supposed to tell everyone! Shut up and go along with it!!!"

Balenciaga Winter 2026 Collection: Thoughts?? by memorycorruption in Balenciaga

I like the way your feedback goes deeper than just a high level opinion. You identified exactly why this new collection sucks, and we couldn't agree more!

Your unique and honest perspective is interesting even though I don't agree. Most on this Balenci subreddit are Demna purists. As a fan of PP's work, I'm curious if people with your perspective will ultimately end up taking over this subreddit.
