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

    What doesn’t suck about gen z? It’s just that the later born the more microplastics and the greater suckery from fucked up grey matter

    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 shein

    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.

    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.

      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

    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.

    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.

      Honestly I don’t know how they dress, but it can’t be worse than us. I remember when pants hanging mid thigh was cool. We just got lucky boxers we’re the thing at the time.

    It’s just kind of the opposite of what was cool when we were kids.

    That being said, I don’t know any serious person who gives a shit. It happens literally every generation. Who cares. Wear what you want.
