Tbh, I find the suddenly popularity of "retro 90s style" quite disturbing. At least no one's really going back to the 80s, that I've seen. I went into Urban Outfitters with the girl and it looked like they had raided my teenage wardrobe. Proper mid-90s rave/baggy gear with a splash of grunge. I half expected to walk around the corner and see a mannequin wearing joe bloggs jeans and a dready hoody.

There is a 90s photo of me in a Black Tactleneck jumper, massive airwalks, jeans with a crotch so low I could use them as a skinning up table and gelled hair spiked in a 4-4-2 formation which is the perfect illustration of why you shouldnt cane how people used to look. At least no one's really going back to the 80s, that I've seen. Mullets appear to be having a resurgence though. Fuck knows why. They were shit then. Seen a few mullet and shit 'tache combos too. Wtaf is that about people?

Yeah the mullet and moustache thing has come about. Awful.
It's odd. Theoretically "retro" should only be 20 ish years, as the youth raid their parents' wardrobe. When I was at school in the 00s, the 80s were very in but that lingered for fucking ages.
I actually put it down to people having kids older, so the retro thing is now 30 years.

I don’t remember any overtly retro fashion movement when I was in school during the 90s, we must’ve been the last original generation

There were more 'tribes' back then. The youth all seem to look similar these days, there's not any major musical movements to align yourself with these days is there?

The students we get all seem so sensible & serious too. Possibly because university costs so much.
I know i wasn't like that back then. Fuck that shit, i wanted to have fun! 😀

Given 90s was peak post-modernism and supermarket of style, it's a fair point to make. There's definitely more homogeneity these days, from what I can tell.

I can't remember any 80s revival in the early 00's when I was at school.

Yeah, think the 80s revival came when I was completely out of school.
Also time for gremmi to edit the thread title into something about old men again.

Why were they in your house again? She did some promo work for a family business So did young toof expose himself to her to make her feel welcome? As I understand is the polite thing to do.

Couldn’t resist clicking on that tweet to see how much of a car crash the comments were but sensibly they turned off replies.

That was the only real option. Still shit that it took this long for people to acknowledge what a shit he is. Not cancel culture, just consequences of one's own actions.

Still haven't been able to finish the first episode of that show. I've tried on three separate occasions but each and every time I ended up turning it off halfway through. Completely bounce off it.

Yeah it can get in the bin. "Whacky adventures" my arse. I can think of at least a dozen animated series that are better.

I'm annoyed I'm doing this, but name them.
Because I don't believe you actually like a dozen animated shows.

Better animated shows:
The Simpsons (to say S10) Adventure Time Bob's Burgers Futurama
On a par
Family Guy/American Dad (S4 each I think) Regular Show Beavis and Butthead when I was 14 Fraggle Rock if puppets count as animation Transformers
Oh and Thundercats was pretty shit. "MUUUUSSST.... CLIMMMMMBB WALLLLL!!"
