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

    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.
