    Gen-X here. I would like to know who in our generation decided to let their kids (Gen-Z) raid their closet. Yesterday alone I saw multiple teen girls wearing 90’s era mommy pants and two, TWO, girls wearing MC Hammer parachute pants!!! Neither of these was ever cool!

    Millennials. If our kids give you grief, just remember that they thought it was a good idea to bring back parachute pants.

      It’s how it always goes. First, it’s stylish, then it’s lame, then it’s R E T R O

      Can grunge be stylish again? At least it was comfortable.

        The whole athleisure thing of the last 10-15 years has been great for dressing comfortably everywhere.

          Is that really what they cost now? When I was a teenager I was astonished that they cost…I want to say $60-$80. That was so expensive to me then. So I never owned a pair despite wanting to for years.

            I had the luck to get a pair of 32” jncos in ‘97 I think, maybe ‘98, and I remember them costing over $100. The bigger you went the more expensive of course.

            But yea, they still make them. Just checked their website and it looks like prices have come down. Last I checked, about a year and a half ago, they were starting at around $300, but I’m seeing them in the $130 range with the 32” starting at $180 and the 50” going to $260. This is great, I might buy a pair later this year.

              I suddenly don’t hate my frugal ass self for spending 100$ on a custom piece of 100% hemp clothing for the first time last week. No way could I ever see myself spending > 200$ on a single pair of jeans

              Yeah I think I remember the $100+ ones too. Might have been some on sale on occasion for less but I definitely envied everyone else who got them!

            When you were a teenager the dollar was most likely worth a lot more. 60-80$ 20 years ago is 300$ in todays money

      I literally saw a 12 year old the other day wearing a “Boyz in tha Hood” shirt, like, do you even know what movies are?

      The last pics or videos I saw of everything “cool” (VIPs, gen Z stuff like interviews, festival pics,…) felt like old 90 stuff. I really thought they were old but no, it was stuff from about 1-2 weeks ago. Why is stuff like hair styles and make up also the same as it was years ago?

      I kinda miss the bell bottom revival of the early 2000’s. Not the late 90’s “equilateral triangle from the knees down” look our big sisters did; I always liked the “just enough bell bottom that the tip of her shoes poke out.” I always thought that was a cute look.
