[HUF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acidic-americana) & Skate Mental are iconic brands in the skate and hip clothing culture. These two are back together again to release an awesomely absurd wall clock and t-shirt combo.

The Huf & Skate Mental Dirtbag Lifestyle Clock (that also includes a matching t-shirt) only gives options for the different times but for some this is all they really asked for. Those into hardcore [skateboarding culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuto-horigome1) will appreciate this witty wall clock.

**Implications** - Consumers in modern society are looking for practical items that also offer an element of whimsy. Products that feature a formal function while being entertaining are appealing to those who want to forget their responsibilities for a moment.
