They're called *piss flickers" for a reason.

Dirty Manhattan slush snow shit during high school winters.. and then fiddle with the strings hanging off...
Lots of people talking about JNCO. But honestly kikwear had superior jeans and they had a stash pocket to get drugs in to raves. And Sutters were a stitch above the rest
Lmao same conversation decades later
As someone with stubby, short legs, I'm always partying like it's 1999.
That’s why you gotta pair those with the right footwear
To this day I do not know why tailors insist, when hemming pants, that the cuff must touch the ground. I always insist on it being a minimum of 2-3cm off the ground because of this very reason.
My high school janitor said he loved them because he didn't have to sweep the halls as often.
My mom definitely made that joke
That's classic!
Raaad!
Mine got so raggedy that my toe caught in the hem. Fell down a hill and tore a tendon in my foot.
Ahhhh I remember and I hate remembering
I graduated HS in 2000 and never really saw more than a very small handful of people wear JNCOs. I’m in northern Virginia though so maybe they just weren’t as popular around here. Didn’t see any JNCOs up in the Toronto area either.
Same age. In NYC it was skaters and ravers. I'd imagine any major metro is going to have more counter culture people. Especially back then vs now, when culture didn't have the same Internet pathways to diffuse so quickly geographically.
I graduated in 2005, and by then bell bottoms on girls were back in fashion; they didn't quite hit the ground, there was just a little bit of the sole of her tennis shoe and a bit of toe visible. I kinda liked that look, then we went with 20 years of "heat shrink that ends an inch above the ankle" for some reason.
I just asked my wife who graduated 2001. She says they were popular late middle school/early HS which would have been like 96–98. I was in Canada at that time so makes sense I wouldn’t have noticed.
I remember the bell bottoms coming back. Big fan of the 2000s remix version.
heat shrink
I tried some jeans once that I could barely get on. The guy said those were considered baggy. That was when I knew for certain fashion was stupid.
"heat shrink that ends an inch above the ankle" for some reason.
Pretty sure the reason is butts
That's why them bell bottoms were worn fairly tight for most of their length too, doesn't explain the cuffs.
You can have it tight in the butt and loose below the knee.
like high heels?
In contrast, I tried to buy a pair of "relaxed fit" men's jeans at Target a few years back, fit properly-to-a-little-loose around the waist, and I couldn't zip them up and have male genitalia at the same time. Had to triple check they were supposed to be for men.
Yeah, I got a bit of an ass on me, but I ain't a pear. Most relaxed they had were still skinny jeans. Makes me miss my hand-me-down D-Lux jeans (we were poor, couldn't afford Jncos... or new pants for the youngest child, apparently).
