Funny Pins
Everyone has seen them. Funny pins on book-bags, purses, satchels and jeans. But you might be wondering, what's all this funny pin business about? Pins, also known as button pins, are metallic buttons with a safety pin on the back that you can attach to your clothing. Most often they are used in political campaigns but there has recently been a underground fashion movement with a host of amateur designers creating funny pins and wacky buttons.
So why do people like these fashionable new button pins? One reason is because they are easy to put on and take off. Think of funny pins like clothing patches but without all the hassle of ironing. They are great for fashion items you keep a long time like purses and satchels because you can change the buttons on it and it's almost like a brand new item.
Now it's true that it's mostly teens and adolescents that are wearing these wacky buttons and pins. That's because teens and adolescents feel the need to express a more intense and fixating image than most adults. While adults are happy to express themselves by the cut, brand, or color of their clothing, adolescents and teens want to say something more. So button pins with witticisms on them are perfect for them.
Another use that is common recently is to express ones fanaticism of a particular thing. Superman fans will buy superman buttons, Dallas Cowboy's fans want Dallas Cowboy's pins, video game freaks want cool buttons that show their love of video games. It's a way to express a sub culture style in a non-permanent way. You can express your love of a particular subject without fear of backlash, if you decide later that you don't want to promote the message on your buttons you can take them off.
They can also be used as a secret handshake. By wearing buttons with specific slang that no one will understand except other members you can easily find your peers without having the messy problem of trying to hint at the subject.
