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
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.
I have never seen anyone express that sentiment except as a joke. But also, it’s a time honoured tradition to hate everything the generation after yours does.
Sorry your older brother is mean.
What fashion?
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 sheinWeird, haven’t witnessed this, maybe it’s just the country where you live?
You can dress how you want. If you see a millennial reaction weirdly to what you are wearing, its likely them cringing at a memory of when they wore something similar as a kid. Cyclical fashion trends and all that. With that said, our culture does have a huge issue with fast fashion, and I’d encourage simpler higher quality clothes that wont cycle with trends as often, for the sake of not destroying the planet.
Intergenerational feuds are almost entirely fake. Be doubly skeptical when it specifically pits women against each other.
Most millennial women I know like baggy pants especially. Much better than the low-rise ass-crack showing pants of the early 00’s.
It’s all made up media bullshit that no one actually cares about.
The internet isn’t real life.
Did you by any chance get this conclusion from Instagram comments?
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.
Aye, the fake rage over avocado toast was hilarious.
Manufactured controversy is exactly what it is. It might have been innocuous at some point. But right now, faced with deepening social divides and class inequality as well as an urgent need to address climate change, I find myself impatient and dismayed with attempts to keep us from union and collaboration
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
it always gives it away when OP never shows up in the comments
NOOOOOOO YOU CAN’T WEAR ANYTHING INTERESTING YOU HAVE TO WEAR HYPERMINIMALISTIC SLOP AT ALL TIMES OR YOURE UGLY AND WEIRD
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.
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?
Shhhh… they’re raging against the machine. Adults just don’t get them, man!
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!
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.
What are you even talking about op? I’ve never seen or heard of the “issue” you’re referring to?
