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. 😎

back in 2016(?) I was one of the people who had a yeti cup

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

People still do this and it was never a trend. It’s classical style.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Is this not cool anymore??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I mean... I still do in the winter...

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.

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.
