    I’m constantly befuddled as to which decade it even is when it comes to fashion. I keep seeing young girls wearing those shirts that came straight out of the 80s - those big shirts that come off one shoulder. No idea what they are called. I haven’t seen those things in since forever - until the past few years.

    At the same time, I just saw a gaggle of teens/early 20s kids crossing the road, and one of the girls was wearing a pair of those huge tracksuit pants that I haven’t seen since early rave days.

    I’m sure there has been fashion in the 00, teens, and now 20s, but most of it seems rather light touch or didn’t last long, or spins on stuff from earlier decades…

      adam ruins everything has a video about how the 2000s made us stop talking about decades and switch to refer to generations instead which caused us to lose the concept of a shared culture basically, and segregated us instead.

      we have clear ideas about fashion, music, art and design when we think about the 40s vs 50s or 80s vs 90s for example, but no one really knows wtf the 2000s vs 2010s were about.
