    as usual i just sit here going “where the fuck are young people doing anything stranger than being cringy about video games?”

    seriously, i have never in my life seen kids do these things people online say they do.

    Millennial here, bordering 40.

    I just really don’t give a shit how anybody dresses. You want to rock cat ears and anime related stuff? Cool. Painted nails as a guy? Nice one. Wanna wear a dress as a guy? Go for it. Wanna dress like my parents did in their youth? Sure thing. Dress in a way that places you outside of a clearly recognizable gender? Why the fuck not.

    Do i get this stuff? Not really. It’s mostly part of a world that i am very clearly not part of. And that’s fine. I don’t have to be in the loop here. Hell, i don’t even have to like outfits somebody, that is not me, is wearing.

    Wear whatever you like. As long as it makes you happy and you feel like yourself in it, i just don’t give a fuck.

      I feel the same way. I remember going to the barber and started to realise that there were 6 dudes 14-16 ish. They all got their broccoli haircut. Not really my thing, but at that age i had a bowl cut, who am i to judge? I find pants that doesn’t go all the way down to the ankles weird, and i wouldn’t wear them. But again, i was wearing baggy pants.

      Based take. Do what makes you happy life is both too short to be upset about how someone else is living their life as well as not living as you want because someone will be upset

        Every generation goes through a trend of trying to dress older than they are. Momcore is kind of the GenZ version of Millennial “preppy” look.

            Well, when you get to the age where mom jeans are what you want, it’s a given that you’re also at the no fucks given age WRT fashion.

            It’s as liberating as hell.

            I blew past mom jeans and went straight to cargo shorts and a strap belt to hold them up (in spite of being fat, I still have no ass), flip flop sandals and leg warmers. And an oxblood woolrich winter flannel shirt.

        90s retro aesthetic.

        Its cool because they look terrible, ironically!

        Haha guys isn’t that so clever?

        … its basically brainrot irony poisoning as a fashion style.

        I am still confused by the Sydney Sweeney ad showing off jeans.

        Booba, she has, junk in the trunk, she does not, and those jeans made her look like she has Hank Hill’s ass.

          I am still confused by the Sydney Sweeney ad showing off jeans.

          At first I heard the howling about that ad being dog whistling for Aryan eugenics, I thought it was just overreaction. Then I saw the ad and yeah, it’s absolutely Nazi shit.

            Yeah I initially just saw one of them and was like… yeah this is somewhere between ‘pretty edgy’ and dogwhistling…

            … and then I saw more from the same campaign and was at the “ok, really?” stage.

            But all that aside, I still just don’t get why you’d put her in an ad campaign for pants, telling the viewer they make your ass look great, when what is shown is … again, basically Hank Hill ass.

            I guess the marketing execs realized that language is now fully in hyperreality mode, and if you just have generally popular pretty person say thing seductively, it is true.

            Someone please stop the capitalist realism ride, I want to get off.

        Found them in their Gen-X mom’s closet? I remember a lot of the girls I dated back in the early nineties wore them because they were pretty cheap. You could get them in K-Mart, Wal-Mart, etc. When I met my now wife she would wear Wal-Mart jeans and these bras (also Wal-Mart) that must have been designed in the fifties and had this slightly conical look to them. This country was broke as fuck in the early nineties and we looked it.

        Up coming demographics will usually embrace whatever is cheap and cringey at thrift stores because they are broke. When enough of them buy in it becomes a trend.

    I’m 38. I don’t understand this meme. Our style from the 90s and early 00s has come back now, so I totally get the esthetics.

    Who says this? Millennials and Gen-Z basically wear the same shit, at the tail end we’re separated by 0 years.
