I feel like you'd be the guy who walks into a job interview dressed like stuff and gets mad when you get rejected

this is the problem with a lot of traditions. suit and tie = qualified is a tradition and it has literally no rhyme nor reason to exist anymore. suits used to be really forgetin expensive so the people who were wealthier/more committed to getting that job dressed in the garb. nowadays, you can even walk into h&m and pick up a suit for like a hundred bucks or so. probably less.
you've got to be a dumb-ass motherforgeter to think that i'm gonna come to an interview dressed like a forgetstick when i know sure as stuff that i'm gonna be rejected if i show up in jeans and a tshirt. i want the cultural norms and traditions to be abolished, but i'm still gonna follow them while they're around or go forget myself and try to get self-employed so i can interview myself in some got damn underwear

It's about being taken seriously, you don't dress in a panda suit for a clown job. You have to agree that some jobs require certain 'uniforms'. I think it's entirely up to the employer to decide dress code as long as it's not loveist or offensive. If my boss wanted to fire me because I don't wear the right colour shirt I don't think that's ridiculous as long as it was agreed upon. So like Red Spy says if you're applying for a position that has some type of 'uniform' dress code then dress the part for the interview too.
Foxscotch:
if the job involves facing customers it is in your best interests to not have facial hair at the interview or on the job
Magus:
The point of dressing well for a job interview is to make a good impression. Show that you care about the job enough to make the effort to look good for the job interview.

You sound like a brat tbh
A suit has been the standard of professionalism for literally 200 years and it symbolizes being taken seriously, which is probably why everyone who wants to be taken seriously wears some kind of a suit. If you want to be rejected to every job opportunity you get because you're dressed like a richardhead, be my guest. But come up with a better reason for people to stop wearing suits other than "i don't like it Xd"
