Sorry your older brother is mean.

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

What are you even talking about op? I’ve never seen or heard of the “issue” you’re referring to?

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

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

NOOOOOOO YOU CAN’T WEAR ANYTHING INTERESTING YOU HAVE TO WEAR HYPERMINIMALISTIC SLOP AT ALL TIMES OR YOURE UGLY AND WEIRD

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.

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.

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

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.

It’s all made up media bullshit that no one actually cares about.

The internet isn’t real life.

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

We don’t.

Weird, haven’t witnessed this, maybe it’s just the country where you live?

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.
