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

    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

      I grew up seeing the 90’s fashion and was so hyped to wear it and hang out with girls wearing it. Then it died out.

      But I worked at a uni this year and it looked (in some ways) more like what I thought uni was going to look like as a kid. But its probably way shitter now so I’m glad I went when I did. You can have your clothes.

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

    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

      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 don’t recall ever saying this.

    I have noticed that millennials are more T-shirt n jeans, and Gen Z is more hoodies and pajama pants. Our Boomer parents never would have let us leave the house like that, so we do have a “sloppy” connotation with those clothes, but obviously the millennials must not mind as much since we’re the ones buying those clothes for our kids.

    Although, I cannot understand the return of mullets and pedo-staches.

    About the only thing I don’t like are the nose rings like cattle and pigs. I simply think “rooting problems” every time I see that. It’s a stupid annoying animal behavior, so identifying yourself with that makes no sense to me.

    The area you live in has a lot to do with clothing fashion. In Tennessee Alabama and Georgia, in the late 90’s and early 00’s baggy clothes were popular. After moving to California, it was all women’s skinny jeans for both sexes.

    I prefer people that are unique and blaze their own trail.

    It’s just kind of the opposite of what was cool when we were kids.

    That being said, I don’t know any serious person who gives a shit. It happens literally every generation. Who cares. Wear what you want.

    Not going to gaslight you and say no one is making those comments, I’m sure they are. That said, there are millions of people in the world who don’t give a fuck about gen z fashion, or who aren’t rude, and then there are millions of people who are dicks, or insecure about their own appearance or place in the world.

    As a millennial I remember the manufactured controversy between boomers and millennials, and similar comments about appearance, work ethic, etc. Now that millennials are “old” some of them see new stuff coming along and feel compelled to complain. Whatever age group someone belongs to they’ll complain about things they see, age related or otherwise, so I wouldn’t focus too much on it.
