Every time I see millennials exposed to zoomer fashion they instantly start seething. it’s always some 20 year old celebrity who goes outside wearing baggy clothes with a graphic tee and millennials online start screeching shit like

NOOOOOOO YOU CAN’T WEAR ANYTHING INTERESTING YOU HAVE TO WEAR HYPERMINIMALISTIC SLOP AT ALL TIMES OR YOURE UGLY AND WEIRD

Why are you people like this

      My friend texted me that she went out on the weekend and complained that everyone was wearing trainers and mullets.
      And yeah, that might be kinda odd, but i grew up wearing baggie pants and spiked up blonde hair, i don’t think i have any ground to stand on.

    What are you even talking about op? I’ve never seen or heard of the “issue” you’re referring to?

    Not seen this in the UK, in fact all the zoomers here could have been lifted straight out of the 90s. Pretty much every item is identical to something I (or someone I knew) wore.

    Kinda nostalgic to see people cutting about like it’s 25 years ago

      Yeah, the zoomers I know who make an effort with regards to fashion all dress in a very fun way. I dig it.

      If I’m upset by it it’s just because young people are not wearing the same clothes as me and more, implying that I’m getting old. It stings a little.

    I have not experienced what you are talking about; “baggy clothes with graphic tees” describes millennial fashions anyway. I don’t perceive millennials as being particularly negative toward Gen Z, for my part I think the kids are gonna be okay.

    Are you from some hyperconservative area, like is the mayor also the town pastor and the county judge?

      To be a bit pedantic, a lot of millennial fashion in pants are more skin tight (think skinny jeans), whereas gen z fashion in pants are often more baggier. There is overlap, sure. But gen z seem to gravitate away from skinny jeans.

      Personally, I’m just happy that higher waisted pants have gotten more popular throughout the years. Low rise pants only seem to flatter the skinniest, most toned people. I say this as a not overweight person too. Higher waisted pants are just more flattering on everyone, no matter the body type!

      Edit: Lol why am I being downvoted? I didn’t say either of the styles I described in the first paragraph were bad!

        I’d argue nah, cause JNCO jeans were huge when I was in middle school, and those are like…comically baggy. Like the bottom cuff would swallow your shoe. Even with standard jeans, boys showing ankle was a mortal sin, (for girls not so much, skinny jeans were in but I don’t remember anything specific against baggy clothes either) and it was a huge issue in the school with people wearing saggy/baggy pants and hoodies that were too big. And this was early 00s, and through high school as well. Some “groups” did the skinny jeans in high school, namely like emo kids, but they’d still have other articles of clothes that were baggy.

        I think a lot of it is algorithm based. Interacting with anything is going to start skewing the page, and it builds an echo chamber of “this generation has a bad opinion”, when the reality is not so. Everything is driving engagement, and rage is always a top factor in engaging.

        I don’t think it’s anything against you, just that you gave a personal opinion and so people are voting if they agree or not with your take.

        For example, I think you’re right that millenial fashion had more form fitting clothing. I also think you’re wrong that high waist pants look good. No offense intended.

    We’re not. I like you guys. Most of your fashion is what I wore when I was a teenager, but with more colours anyway

      I enjoy seeing the evolution of our fashion all in one friend group- high waisted jeans from the 90’s to the jinco jeans of the early 2000’s. It’s fascinating.

      Honestly I don’t know how they dress, but it can’t be worse than us. I remember when pants hanging mid thigh was cool. We just got lucky boxers we’re the thing at the time.

    I think you just invented an issue to complain about. Literally have never heard of this aside from the regular “I don’t get young people clothing” argument

    Because we’re old.

    Also because it’s garish to us. It’s the trend we rejected because it looked terrible on gen X

      what fashion did we start that kept?? no jinco jeans out there, or flannels every where. To be honest I love the new street wear looks that come out. I am getting the wife that fat cat camo from the FF14 line up and she is stoked.

    the only valid critique of gen z fashion is how it ties into fast fashion, which is objectively awful for everyone and everything involved.
    a style is just a style, wear what you want and tell the naysayers to fuck off, but be aware that the things you buy have a real environmental and human cost.
    in short: fuck shein
