Poor Mouth is the movement of
rich people pretending to be poor for fun. This includes buying from
thrift shops, buying clothes made to look dirty and ripped, or making "homeless inspired" accessories. The only issue is, once they're bored they can simply go back to being rich.
The punk version of Poor Mouth is known as
Corporate Punk.
Mary: I saw
the CEO of our company wearing a
cardboard sign around his neck? Why is he pretending to be poor?
Jack: Oh he's just doing Poor Mouth now, he thinks his cardboard sign necklace is trendy
Mary: Did he really have to stop
bathing?
