• •Community
• •Originality
• •Quality

Best Practices

• •Speak the Language of the Subculture: Use terminology and cultural references (music, art, symbolism) that resonate authentically with the punk, goth, and rock communities. Avoid corporate jargon.
• •Prioritize "Us" vs. "Them" Mentality: Frame your copy to create a sense of an exclusive community. Position the brand and its customers against the "bland," "boring," or "mainstream" high-street fashion.
• •Emphasize Individuality and Rebellion: The core of the brand is non-conformity. Every piece of copy, from a product description to a social media post, should reinforce the idea of personal expression and breaking free from norms.
• •Be Direct and Confident: Use strong, active verbs and a confident tone. Avoid passive language. The brand is bold, and the copy should reflect that.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell: Instead of simply saying the clothes are "high-quality," describe the fabric's weight or the print's durability. Instead of just saying "be unique," tell a story about what a design represents. This adds authenticity and value.

Social Perception

Direct social perception through reviews or extensive forum discussions is limited. However, the alternative fashion scene in the UK, in which Breaking Rocks operates, is perceived as a tight-knit community. Brands like this are often seen as authentic and more connected to their customers than large corporations. Customers for similar brands value unique designs and good quality materials. The lack of a significant negative online footprint suggests that the existing customer base is likely satisfied. The primary perception is that of a small, independent UK-based business catering specifically to the alternative scene.
