Remember those silly rubber "Armstrong" wristbands? I had a million different ones and wore about 20 on each wrist to school and everywhere else. Yeah, I was pretty goddamn cool. π

back in 2016(?) I was one of the people who had a yeti cup
I still use mine. The things are built to last.
I definitely do not currently have a yeti cup and definitely do not love it and use it all the time nope nuh uh
lol, I'm one step ahead of you. I've moved on to a water bottle with stickers on it. I suppose I'm still participating in more trends than I thought.
Hot metal + arm = Smiley Face
Pogs, I think.
When I was younger I fell for two - baggy jeans and llamas.
I remember in 5th grade I tried to joke about llamas with one kid and show him the llama song (because he loved llamas) and he said I was just copying him. In hindsight fuck you Hans, you didn't invent llamas, you were just copying others too, you tool!
Baggy pants were regrettable too...
I wore baggy jeans and oversized hoodies in the early 2000's. That's pretty much the last time I "followed a trend" that I can think of though there probably are other occasions too that just don't come to mind now. Most of the time I get into things either before they were cool or way after the wave has already passed.
I used to wear a short-sleeve shirt over a long-sleeve shirt
People still do this and it was never a trend. Itβs classical style.
Is this not cool anymore??
I mean... I still do in the winter...
gasps Stupid trend?!?
Laundry detergent economy is more efficient if your bottom-layer clothing items have lower mass. You can fit more short-sleeve shirts in the washer than long-sleeve shirts. So it's better to have thin, short-sleeve t-shirts as the bottom layer and thick sweatshirts for the outer layer.
JNCO
Q
I'll go one even further. Before JNCO existed we'd just go to the thrift store and buy the largest size pants we could find. Pair a 48" waist pant with a XXL tshirt when you were 28" and youth large and you were at the height of skate fashion.
YOU TAKE THAT BACK
