Is Halloween Too Sexy for Itself? Maybe Good Girls Gone Bad for a Day are Really Just Gone Partying for the Evening. FASHIONTRIBES POP CULTURE BLOG
A recent spate of articles in the popular media have focused on how sexy Halloween, and, in particular, Halloween costumes seem to have become. However, research by Youth Trends indicates that earnest & well-meaning writers may have missed the humor - and the boat - altogether. "Like many other youth-focused topics covered by the mainstream media,
this looks to be another mis-guided effort, because I can tell with a
very high confidence level that 90% of the feedback we received from
our panelists concerning Halloween, Halloween costumes and Halloween
parties, is the polar opposite of what the so called "experts" are
being quoted as saying in most of those articles," explains Josh Weil, CEO of Youth Trends in a piece on his GenDigital blog. "For young people today (for many whose dress code would be considered
racy on a normal Tuesday morning) Halloween is a "theme" party to dress
up and pretend to be something they're not, to get a few laughs out of
their friends, and party."
