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.

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.
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?

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.
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.
