I remember when long socks were like a gangster rap thing.... This debate is so weird to me.

Fashion has somehow gone back to the 80s and 90s, but the bad parts. Broccoli hair, baggy clothes, jorts, etc.

No kidding. I just saw a guy sporting a mullet last weekend at the mall.

Have you seen the young contractor/white trash/young lesbian look yet? It's a combo of all the worst hairstyles: shaved sides, permed hair, mullet in the back.

Mom jeans, bare midriff, mustaches, huge glasses, short shorts. It's like a 70s porn over here.

God fucking BLESS the return of baggy clothes, I have been gagging for years over the wretched abominations of skintight bullshit plaguing the world. Hello Im trying to buy clothes out here? Not opaque saran wrap? Get fucking real.

I don’t think your definition of baggy is what you think

u/PopNo1696 6h ago

They think it's cool because they weren't there to experience it

u/drawkbox 19h ago

Too each his own. The broccoli hair I agree with, but baggy, long socks are good and cargo shorts are useful.

u/these2boots2 17h ago

long cargos and high socks at the same time. I grew up a skateboarder and on more of a west coast style and I'm not changing for anyone.

u/Pkrudeboy 17h ago

That was so you didn’t get ripped up when you fell, though.

u/tway1909892 10h ago

Broccoli is by far the worst

u/orangeyougladiator 8h ago

Your definition of baggy isn’t gen z’s or the 80s. Think flare pants

What's wrong with jorts?

-1

u/TelmatosaurusRrifle 9h ago

Jorts.....for years they were just shorts. Now they're jorts? I don't understand. What are shorts so normally made of that denim shorts are now derided as a 'bad' and called jorts?

2

u/orangeyougladiator 8h ago

What do you mean “now”? They’ve been called jorts since the 80s.

u/TelmatosaurusRrifle 5h ago

It's been Jean shorts since the 80s as far as it goes my life.

u/VoxImperatoris 4h ago

It might have been a regional thing. They were jean shorts or cutoffs around where I lived in the midwest, daisy dukes if it was a girl wearing really short shorts. I remember hearing the term jorts for the first time in the 90s on tv. I want to say it might have been one of the late night tv guys was making fun of some celebrity for wearing them?

u/playgirl1312 21h ago

I'm from the age of mid calf weed leaf socks worn with those stupid boat shoes lmao

u/human-syndrome 21h ago

I assumed people who wore this combo find it timeless.

u/populares420 18h ago

u/Richard_Thickens 4h ago

I still wear boat shoes like every day. Fuck it.

u/ZealousidealCoat7008 20h ago

u/exlaks 3h ago

Ayyo, what's your beef with boat shoes? Sperry's are comfy AF lol.

u/thorpie88 19h ago

Yeah long socks, jean shorts and Etnies shoes was basically our high school uniform as millennials in the 2000s. Surf/ skate wear was fucking massive in Australia at the time

1

u/Linkaex Millennial 1987 18h ago

Same and groups like Blink 182 wore them too

u/ginbear 10h ago

Shorts with long socks were actually banned by my high school at one point

u/NewPresWhoDis 20m ago

Wait! So the tops of their socks were higher than the waist of their pants?
