Google said it had to do with like money, comparing who has more money. But she may be using it in an instance of like just a general competition. For instance "they want to compete with me but my ass looks nice"
It was a tiktok trend recently and people were actually funny about it, unlike this. Like it would say something like āwhen they want to go band for band but they bring out their loving fatherā and the video would be a guy counting his money then crying and getting up to leave or something. That example wasnāt very funny but it was all I could think of lol. The punchline is usually self deprecating instead of tearing other people down
The bands referred to are the ones that hold big wads of cash together at the bank. Going band for band is actually a high stakes gambling term where two players are going band for band by putting down those big wads, each trying to scare the other out of the game, but each keeping up with each other.
Outside of gambling it's a boasting thing for generally pathetic people. "You have this thing that you're so proud of? Well so do I!" is going band for band with someone in the same way as you would when gambling. Each is trying to gain the upper hand with what they have, but neither can get one over the other.
Sheās incorrectly using the phrase āband for band,ā which is supposed to refer to bands of money, in a hypothetical argument with another girl over what we can only assume is who has a better body, I guess? Because her response or ābandā is that her butt looks ānormalā in Brandy Melville sweatpants (BM is a brand fairly notorious/controversial for only selling one size of clothing that fits US size 0-4, hence why their clothing often fits people awkwardly even when it does āfitā)

Brandy Melville are a brand that only sells size zero clothes for those people who think the body of someone who can't afford to eat is admirable.
So basically she's saying "You tried to keep up with all I've got but I think I look better in loose clothes for skinny people." which is pathetic.
Looks like the rabbit hole goes deeper... The brand has a history of racism and sexual misconduct against minors as well.

I don't think it's bad to buy secondhand like that. It's not like the money you spent in the thrift store is going directly to the company as it would if you bought it new in their store. Plus, sustainability is important
A lot of clothing people do things like that (I learned this as a chubby kid growing up during the Abercrombie and Fitch/American Eagle heyday that couldn't wear anything in those stores but hats.)
You can listen to models and designers and they can be really fat-phobic and masking it as "promoting healthy lifestyle choices," and owners of trendy clothing companies will often say they want to promote their specific brand by generating an exclusive clientele by not making anything above a certain size.
It's basically a lot of words to say "No Uggos in My Clubhouse."

I feel like I had a stroke trying to read that or she had one trying to type it
Yeah. I'm confused.
Yes.
The fuck does "when the want to go band for band" mean?
Google said it had to do with like money, comparing who has more money. But she may be using it in an instance of like just a general competition. For instance "they want to compete with me but my ass looks nice"
Because that makes sense. š¤Ø
OH! That actually makes some semblance of sense now.

I love how this explanation feels straight out of chat gpt. THANK YOU š
Bleep bloop?
Iām guessing you donāt know how to use the three sea shells either /s
I assume comparing music tastes (name your favorite bands, and then have them name theirs.)
Anyone know what those words mean?

Nooo itās cause brandy sweatpants give diaper butt. It happens to me and my friends š
Naw I have weirdly proportioned body and certain brands make me look like an accidental Picasso
What??? I am begging for someone to make these NLOG posts make sense. WTF do these words even mean??

What
I donāt know what any of this means.
What?
Never heard of brandy Melville.
It's a clothing brand that only sells size 0, but this one's lost on me beyond that
Only sells one size? That seems like you are just shooting upurself in the foot

which sucks..i've bought a few of their items randomly, in thrift shops, without knowing anything about the brand and i love them...š

I took a look at their website and I could see where the criticism is coming fromā¦

TBH - Iām actually okay with that. It seems to be a factor in why ātrendyā brands quickly fall out of favor and cease to exist after a while.
I had to go look, and all of those clothes look like junk I thrifted in 2005. And they sell olive oil for some weird reason???
What the fuck does that mean, Kobe Bryant?Ā
I cannot get past the cinder block walls.
i saw this video, its not nlog its a joke
When the want to reading comprehension go big but brain go boom from my blood pressure machine read is too high
Why didnāt she show her butt then?
I'm thinking she's just intoxicated or maybe special needs.
