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.
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?
gen z here. I genuinely think most millennials are cool asf. y'all took the brunt of the hate from older generations for us. I just hope we can pay it back somehow in the long run
While I appreciate the sentiment, I honestly think us Millennials just did our time in the barrel and now it's your turn. My evidence: I use Firefox, by default it congregates a bunch of "news" articles from around the web (via Pocket, I think. Whatever the fuck Pocket is) and here's a headline from Elle I'm looking at on my other monitor as I type: "Is Gen Z Killing Vintage Fashion?" You are The Demographic now, so there's going to be about 15 years of exactly that bullshit to roll your eyes at.
I'm so glad I'm not being blamed for the decline of a shitty industry no one else took part in either, otherwise it wouldn't have failed.
Yeah, now it's more like "are gen Z killing X industry?"
me: "God I fucking hope we are"
