With the end of the year approaching, it's time for all social media platforms to make you feel a little bit nostalgic over all the fucking time you've wasted in the past 12 months. And none is more connected to #menswear (emphasis on the hashtag) than Tumblr. Naturally, the main problem here is that the world of #menswear, in case you were not aware, has devolved into a weirdo, sexual, gif-laden, completely generic world of hot dudes staring wistfully off into the distance, whether they're actually wearing fire alphets or not.
While last year's list was pretty goddamn disheartening, 2014 is so wildly detached from our menswear universe that it's straight up unsettling. So, obviously, we had to go through the top posts of the year to see just how bad it really was. The photos above have literally thousands upon thousands of notes and made their way up and down dashboards worldwide with aplomb, finding themselves in front of many a fragile teenage girl, now #menswear's main demographic based off thirstiness and hormones alone. I guess this once again proves that people that aren't us have terrible fucking taste. Here are some of the most popular, yet simultaneously THE WORST, #menswear tagged Tumblr posts from the past year.

A bunch of dudes dressed in all black, smoking cigarettes, probably wearing Rick Owens and Ann Demeuelemeester, but aren't actually going anywhere fashion-related. Actually, this is right at home here on the pins. So much in fact that I'm surprised it was actually popular.
