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

Or a video game style arsenal, apparently.

Yeah where the fuck do you put all your things in those slime jeans? I got more keys and glasses now shaking hand at cloud

[–] Lowered_lifted@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think with the slime jeans stuff just kinda sticks to 'em

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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?

I want a 'Korm' shirt now

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

[–] Polydextrous@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I actually don’t know anything about that. I searched “Jonas brothers hair” and it all looks like relatively normal hair.

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.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

I've never had it stolen, so...perhaps?

Where else would it be? Don't right-handed people store it in their right front pocket? And since most people are right-handed...you're going to be correct most the time.

with a good strong yank the fabric loop is attached to would just rip out.

That would be a helluva strong yank, though, and it would certainly be much more difficult than just lifting the wallet out. Nothing is going to be 100% secure. It's about making the theft as difficult as possible.

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.
