    JNCO parachute pants, a Korn shirt, wallet chains, and ball-chain necklaces were the uniform of that time period. Gen-Z mushroom tops also have nothing on the all around close shave with long front bangs.

      I unironically feel that that era had one of the most iconic youth styles in modern history

      Dude, those styles are all coming back. Maybe not the Korm shirt, but the 90s styles are coming back, and early 2000s are coming back in some forms, but I assume we’ll see a return to those things soon. We’re already seein. The weird ugly early 2000s sunglasses, we’ll see low rise jeans come back eventually…it’s all cyclical.

      As a mid-millennial, though, I don’t see many people making fun of gen Z styles? Which of them are people making fun of?

        TBF, there was the stupid Jonas-brothers hair that was overdone by early Gen Z about 10 years ago. Thankfully that died out a while back

          I actually don’t know anything about that. I searched “Jonas brothers hair” and it all looks like relatively normal hair.

      I don’t understand why anybody wouldn’t use a chain wallet. You don’t have to worry about your wallet falling out or getting pickpocketed.

        Does it actually help with pickpockets though? I feel like if anything, it advertises its location, and with a good strong yank the fabric loop is attached to would just rip out.

          I’ve never had it stolen, so…perhaps?

          I feel like if anything, it advertises its location

          Where else would it be? Don’t right-handed people store it in their right front pocket? And since most people are right-handed…you’re going to be correct most the time.

          with a good strong yank the fabric loop is attached to would just rip out.

          That would be a helluva strong yank, though, and it would certainly be much more difficult than just lifting the wallet out. Nothing is going to be 100% secure. It’s about making the theft as difficult as possible.

      The fuckin cockatiel hair cut from the very front to the back bangs lol. Either they were Goth into industrial or house heads. The spikey hair with bleach tips as well.
