Clothing and other things trend about every 30 years. And it’s driven by nostalgia. As you approach your 40s you’ll start seeing things that were popular when you were 10 and it makes you want to buy it, even if it’s a dumb nik-nak.
Resist nostalgia purchases, folks.
I never stopped playing Mortal Kombat 1-3. It’s hard to get someone nostalgic for a time they never left haha.
I do have the arcade machine now though. My wife spoils me.
As for my clothes, I’ve smoked, drank, and done way too many drugs to actually look youthful. When old folks tell me that I look younger than I am, I tell them it’s because I’m wearing the same clothes I bought 20 years ago and I look like a college age millennial because of that, and their sense of time is off.
I just buy what’s comfy. And cheap. Most of all, I buy the first pair that fits. Who has time to worry about style, really?
Quick! Kill all the designers before it goes back!
Industrial advertising, fashion is a demand creation system.
Meanwhile I am eagerly awaiting the return of low-rise.
So I tried to apply Hegelian dialectic to this. Either style is the thesis and the opposite style is the antithesis. There’s something about each style that isn’t appealing to each generation and so they move away from it. There’s a lack of synthesis so we never move past these two styles and never create a new one. We are locked in the vicious cycle. This suggests something inhuman is interfering with the process.
I wear what I like(I wear batman suite)
We are all dependent on Mr. Mugato’s choices
We are in the “fashion just makes it harder to move”, era
I’m looking forward for the baggy jeans trend. I don’t want to see the outline of anyone’s dick.
Is there some emo enclave of washed up millennials in your area or something?
Finally
LET’S GO!!

I went baggy back in the 00s and I’m NEVER going back. ‘Straight cut’ is as baggy as I’ll wear em. Love those baggy pants on my SO though 😍
