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!

    Not seen this in the UK, in fact all the zoomers here could have been lifted straight out of the 90s. Pretty much every item is identical to something I (or someone I knew) wore.

    Kinda nostalgic to see people cutting about like it’s 25 years ago

    Here it is: the start of another generational divide fabricated out of nothing

    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.

    We’re not. I like you guys. Most of your fashion is what I wore when I was a teenager, but with more colours anyway

      I enjoy seeing the evolution of our fashion all in one friend group- high waisted jeans from the 90’s to the jinco jeans of the early 2000’s. It’s fascinating.

    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

    The fuck are you on about?

    Gen z are the millennial’s kids. The older millennials are hitting their forties now. Not all gen z are the kids of millennials, some are gen-x kids too.

    I’ve never seen any kind of outrage over comfortable clothes by millennials on any big scale. Or gen-x. Hell, not even all of the baby boomers do, unless it’s at work.

    If you’re seeing it irl, then it’s likely just parents parenting, which is a different thing entirely. Online? You gotta at least grab some screen shots of handful of examples before this is even believable as a generation level thing. Better, provide links to it, since screen shots can be faked easily by anyone older than about 12.

    If you are seeing it, is it on a specific media outlet? You’ll find that some are more prone to stupidity like bitching about other people’s clothing than other forms of media.

    Tbh though, how the fuck can you even tell what generation the people complaining are? Do they give their age? Seems pretty damn weird unless it’s YouTube, but most of those are memes to begin with. “I’m 70 years old and I love/hate this” type of bullshit.

    I think you’re full of malarkey tbh, but if you aren’t,I would actually be interested in seeing where this is because millennials have rocked comfy clothes in public for well over a decade. It would be very funny if that’s changing as they age.

    We don’t? Although I do find myself quietly snickering at how the awful crap I wore as a teen is coming back, but I’m not hating on it at all. I’m a bit jealous sometimes, though.

    I dunno, I’m older than that and it’s really nice to see folk dressing like it’s the 80s again
