I don't think "dorky" is the right word for these glasses. Anachronistic is better. And that can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on one's perspective.

- wormius 2y agoOthers mentioned Geordie, but even going back (and obviously the "visor" was in the zeitgeist since at least the 70s with the android type bots drawn by futurists), my first thought was the Six Flags Great America type sunglasses that were cool as hell when my older sister came home with them. This is the closest I could find in search without trying too hard. But yeah, why can't these companies just design regular old glasses styles so people don't feel like a dolt and maybe would want to buy them. Instead everyone has to be made to look like a glasshole and all the entitlement that connotes in the mass mind. https://di2ponv0v5otw.cloudfront.net/posts/2018/03/20/5ab0dc4072ea880886eaaf99/m_5ab0dca036b9de5db0354356.jpg https://di2ponv0v5otw.cloudfront.net/posts/2018/03/20/5ab0dc...
- fwipsy 2y agoThey look like Google glasses because they have the same design constraints: small lens and needing to fit a lot of electronics in the frame. If they could make them look normal I think they obviously would.
