mid 90s to mid 2000s style was the peak I won’t hear otherwise

JNCO parachute pants, a Korn shirt, wallet chains, and ball-chain necklaces were the uniform of that time period. Gen-Z mushroom tops also have nothing on the all around close shave with long front bangs.

I unironically feel that that era had one of the most iconic youth styles in modern history

@TimeSquirrel @siipale @BudgieMania parachute pants need a comeback. They were the most roomy and comfortable jeans ever

The only correct dimensions for pants are the dimensions that allow you to steal a second pair of pants underneath them

I’m with you completely. I miss the good old days of shopping for my pants based on leg opening circumference and not constantly having to adjust my balls.

Dude, those styles are all coming back. Maybe not the Korm shirt, but the 90s styles are coming back, and early 2000s are coming back in some forms, but I assume we’ll see a return to those things soon. We’re already seein. The weird ugly early 2000s sunglasses, we’ll see low rise jeans come back eventually…it’s all cyclical.

As a mid-millennial, though, I don’t see many people making fun of gen Z styles? Which of them are people making fun of?

TBF, there was the stupid Jonas-brothers hair that was overdone by early Gen Z about 10 years ago. Thankfully that died out a while back

I don’t understand why anybody wouldn’t use a chain wallet. You don’t have to worry about your wallet falling out or getting pickpocketed.

Does it actually help with pickpockets though? I feel like if anything, it advertises its location, and with a good strong yank the fabric loop is attached to would just rip out.

The fuckin cockatiel hair cut from the very front to the back bangs lol. Either they were Goth into industrial or house heads. The spikey hair with bleach tips as well.

Not understanding and not approving of it are two different things. Millennials love our quirky/scary younger siblings, and I won’t hear otherwise.

Damn right! I was jealous of these kids who had the courage to express themselves how they wanted and explore their identities outside of what was deemed “socially acceptable” back then, and I will fight tooth and nail for kids to be able to do the same today, even if I don’t exactly understand what’s “it” nowadays.

I’m almost 40 and sometimes I feel like the only thing I can identify as is a dick. So I try to put that to use for the benefit of others, be a dick to an asshole, save a pussy.

Be the change you want to see in the world!

I decided one day that I was gonna try growing my hair out, as I had it basically buzzed my entire life. I went from that to now having a ponytail so long that it reaches the small of my back (when it’s not in a ponytail I have to be careful that it doesn’t get caught when I put on pants or sit down), and along the way I inspired boys I worked with to try growing their hair out on multiple occasions. One didn’t like how his hair basically turned into an afro and cut it, one has been rocking a shoulder-length viking-esque look for about 8 years now, and the last looks so much like white Jesus that Catholics do a double-take just to make sure the Rapture hasn’t happened.

In my early 30s. From what I’ve seen, they’ve kind of changed it a bit and ditched the clothes, but I’ve seen them getting into tattoos a lot more.

As a non-tatted guy, who looks totally different from them, they’re still not into me and I’m still into it hahaha

This shit is still cool! I’m not even going to act ashamed! Hell fucking yeah I dressed like that, and It was motherfucking “epic!”

Wear whatever you think is cool zoomers, and stop for NO ONE! The moment you start letting others dictate your coolness is when you stop being young.

Eh. As a zoomer (among the older ones) the styles today aren’t forged from small local communities and interests like the image. Everything has been seeping into my younger cohorts’ brains by social media and conforming to an identity they found online. Personally, it’s unhealthy, and only getting worse for the next generations.

Ah yes, the small local interest of a very popular show on one of the 3 main cartoon channels likely purchased from a nationwide chain that was a staple in pretty much every mall.

Concerts and bands. Myspace was a reaction, not a catalyst. Heavy social media use in that era was rare and niche. Hence why this pictured style was not as common as you might think it was.

Most children and teens are terminally online and their styles are symptom, not cause.

They are trying. Cut 'em some slack, the age of a common generational culture is dead and they’re doing their own thing as best they can.

Our parents had woodstock/hippies/disco, we had nu-metal and gangsta rap, and they have…whatever they feel like having at the moment.
