I remember being young and thinking middle-aged people are staring at me because they want me /they disapprove/whatever.
Now I’m middle aged myself, I know the staring is way more likely to either be something along the lines of “ah that kid is so 90s, I never had that green colour but blue Fudge used to wash out to green like that…”
Or “have we run out of natural yoghurt, we bought that 500ml pottle last week but we had curry twice, maybe I should get some more…”

This is me. I have to really watch where I’m zoning out because I have absolutely been called out for staring when my brain was miles away.
I did this once in freshman year HS. I was sitting on my friend’s desk zoned out staring at a book on someone else’s desk, and I came out of it when a girl said “THOSE ARE BOOBS”
Idk how long I was staring, but I was still kinda pissed because she was just standing in front of me for no discernable reason.
“OK so she must’ve bleached the full head then done the green side first, then the black side. Man her scalp must be itchy as fuck. What did I used to use to stop the burn? Coconut oil? Yeah that’s right. Smelt like Malibu for a week or so, and had to throw out that set of pillow cases. Man that sucks, I loved those pillow cases, perfect for winter. I wonder if you can still get them?”
Morpheus: “… and find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes.” Only it’s more like an interconnected maze of rabbit holes leading everywhere. I wonder if you can still get “pina colada” Malibu?
Theoretically she could part her hair with a knife and bleach the green side, wait 20 min and put the black side on with a toothbrush, then wash it and add the green as required?
I love how Gen Z has gone back to all that stuff.
I’m still wondering how the 90s entered kids garderobes again overnight. Sometimes I see a very funny xxxxxxxxwide jeans and I talk about that with my kids in the car and yes I do stare a bit with curiosity and amusement.
Fashion goes in cycles. Personally I’m just waiting for the nice wide jeans to filter down to an affordable price point and then I’m going to get some for myself.
I hate skinny jeans. They feel cloying and I’m pretty sure they promote swamp crotch.
Even non skinny jeans got tight. I have really old Dickies pants and newer ones the same size. The legs are thinner and less comfortable, I buy 2-4 sizes up so my legs can move about at work.
I know this Is an old post, but in the early 2000s 70’s fashion came back in vogue – a 30 years difference. And 30 years ago from today is the 90s, so it makes sense.
I think it’s a result of the 40 year old crowd. They’re a demographic with money and starting to get nostalgic for their childhood, so the market caters to that . Kids get exposed to it, a few trend setters decide it’s cool/vintage, and it takes off from there.
Jokes on you then. I’m probably staring because I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with that eye makeup, and I have no idea what that face is supposed to mean.
All I see is crazy eyes which means she’ll most likely let me do the weird stuff
As a middle-aged man with a long history of crazy chicks in my past… Yeah this is working for me
Plot twist: they are into that and see that as a yes
(that as in what they are doing to repeal the middle aged man)
then I continue making that face and hit them with one of these :3
I’ve got to admit, a girl makes that face at me, I’m going to walk up and start explaining the plot of Krull (1983) for as long as she can hold it. If she makes it through the whole thing I’m pretty sure we’re legally married.
