X-metal demographic question

[htrap2294]

I'm 23 and own a pair, looking to pick up a Romeo 1 sometime soon too. People my age always ask where they can find glasses like those.

Except two people - they said they were hideous glasses. Needless to say, I no longer associate with them.

Is he related to Michael, Jordan?

Alas, no. The only “slam dunking” around these parts is Trump’s proposal to relocate the American embassy to Jerusalem..

Regardless of demographics, x-metal sightings in the wild are rare enough that there's a thread here dedicated for reporting them. It doesn't get much activity, either.

I’m 42 and never have I seen a pair in the real world with the exception of meeting a few forum members in person. I would say as others have the younger generation just doesn’t know about nor have they been exposed to xmetals. Not their fault just a different generation.

31 been wearing juliets for 15 years! Luckily my dad was one of the morons that once his juliet loosened up a bit he gave up and gave them to me! He's still mad about that!

I personally think it more has to do with the fact that people tend not to keep sunglasses for so long & are more into designer frames, such as LV, etc. The most I see people with are Ray Bans (Wayfarers and ClubMasters) and O-Matter Oakleys.

I’m 33. Rarely see anyone wearing xmetals. Few people my age used to be into them but they’ve long since moved on to current trends. Not that it bothers me much. I still think they’re the best looking and coolest sunglasses around. Prescription Oakley glasses still seem pretty common though. I wear a concrete 2.0 as my daily pair.

Finally. Clinton, Bush, and Obama all promised to do it and never did. It's been the capital for like 2000 years so why not?

But really. People over there that mad about it?

Short answer - Yes. They’re kinda mad. Not “launching missiles indiscrimately”-mad or “kidnapping western foreigners”-type mad. Just “protesting and burning tyres so streets near the American embassy in Jordan are shut down” type mad.

It’s complicated because Jerusalem is “shared” between the Palestinian “no man’s land” and Israel. It’s supposed to be “overseen” by Jordan.

Any changes are quite sensitive and 12-14 people have died in Israel over this recent “endorsement” by Trump.

I’m 37 and have been wearing them since 2000. The only time I see anyone else wearing some is two friends from high school that have had them as long as I have.
