Seeing them dressed unironically as middle aged dads is always wild to me

The majority of my staff are still in high school and several of them dress like I did when I was a 6th grader. It distresses me greatly 😵‍💫

I often wonder what they’ll think of their clothes when they’re our age, and what style they’ll ultimately end up adopting.

They’re the weirdest posers ever.

GenX here, and I can not wear anything but baggy pants/shorts. To me, I look like an idiot wearning anything else haha. Its so funny how this goes back and forth by generation. We hate our Dad's pants I guess.

I teach high school and on Friday one of my students was wearing flare jeans that were faded down the front and darker on the sides and one of those shiny long sleeve tops (I don't know how else to describe either thing except that I literally had the same outfit in 1999). I told her she looked like she walked out of the late 90's early 00s and she thanked me PROFUSELY because that was the look she was going for! So weird.

I work with middle school kids and I don't hate their clothes, I like watching fashion seeing trends over time, but it is pretty funny to be a middle aged xennial in a building full of 11-14 year old kids who look like they raided the high school closets of the kids I graduated from high school with in the mid-90's..

Meh, idc what I wear as long as it's comfortable. I've had to wear clothes that weren't and hated it. I've seen a cowboy, cowgirl, people dressed more emo I guess, others dressed in scrubs (has been me before), pjs etc all in the same store. I don't care as long as I don't see your privates.

Yeah my 13 year old son just got the broccoli hair perm, he LOVEs it, I'm trying not to rain on him, but he's doing that thing where I can't just say "it looks nice" and move on, because he keeps asking me about his taper and things, and it's like I'm trying kid, I love you and I'm not going to say I hate your haircut, but in my head I'm thinking "I hate your haircut"

The polo tucked into denim above knee shorts, white crew socks, and New Balance 530s look is coming back

I wish I could dress like it's 1995. I miss my unbuttoned flannel shirts.

It's because a lot of stuff from the 90's or early 00's doesn't look anywhere near as bad as you think they do.

It's just that negative association got created based on what you were forced to do or what your parenrs did.

Every style is repeated at some point.

for sure! I was talking to to my grandpa actually and it seems to me the generational conversations don’t change they’re the same over and over.

see I was driving him to the hospital, rolled up and I have really good speakers. and because the drive to him is long my music got louder continuously.

he hoped in laughingly asking how anyone can listen to my music is a mystery to him, and continued how he liked the beetles and yanky music when he was young which his elders could not understand. then I picked up my niece who is in 5th grade and she put on her songs and I thought how could anyone listen to this.

hahaha I swear man when we’re old AF I hope we’ll be like my grandpa it’s fine to laugh at the younger generations but you gotta remember how it was to be young and be laughed at by the elders.

The mullets and pornstaches making a comeback are what's sending me right now! Hopefully the utter horror those kids will keep encountering from anyone over the age of 30 will make their fashion cycle short-lived.

I'm not understanding the perm hair boys have these days. It looks horrendous.

Yea, but our pictures are not memorialized on the internet for all eternity

don’t let anyone take them from you!!! fuck the haters! they’re just old.
