>>18653975
this is a bit of a revisionism. millennials were notorious in 2012 for their irony and inauthenticity just like gen z. does nobody remember how one of the criticisms of millennial hipsters during their peak was how they would describe doing things or being into things ironically?

>hipsters during their peak was how they would describe doing things or being into things ironically?
Yes, and everyone fucking hated those guys. Gen Z is a generation of hipsters that instead of finding something they thought you didn't know about, would go on to hate everything in ways they refuse to explain so that you may never grasp what they're actually into. Of course, we all know what they're actually into, and it's jacking off while staring in the mirror, but this is having diminishing returns because the face staring back keeps getting older.

Gen Z is entirely different. Everything is done out of fear and conformity. They have a crippling fear of standing out or being perceived in general, because they think it will lead to them being recorded and put on tiktok mockingly, which will go viral and make them a socially destroyed, unemployable global laughing stock.

>>18656129
What you refer to as "Y2K" was originally started in the mid 90s to at least the mid 2000s, which was started by Gen X, millennials were about bohemian hippie fashion along with hipster culture, they also loved minimalism as opposed to the somewhat chaotic look of the 2000s and even mocked it during the 2010s as gaudy and trashy, everyone hated on that time period back then, stop trying to rewrite history.

Everyone hates on the 2010s now, but gen A will consider one of the most aesthetic decades when we hit the 2030s. Just like the 2000s were clowned in the 2010s, and the 90s were clowned in the 2000s.

it's not the first time something like this has happened, in the late 70s to at least the mid to late 80s, there was a big 1950s nostalgia wave in the US (which also spread to Japan and the UK) among boomers which saw a lot of fashion styles from the 1950s, which were mostly started by Silent Gen, became popular again, which meant that pompadours. slicked back hair, greaser style, etc. became trendy, even 80s business suits were designed to be similar to 50s suits. And in Japan, Yankii and Bosozoku fashion became popular which was literally just greaser style with a Japanese twist.

Millennials are the "we wuz" of the generations, similar to their boomer parents, they think they're special snowflakes who created everything, just wait until Gen Alpha revives 2010s fashion trends and you'll have some fun arguing with zoomers who will claim that Gen Z started everything from minimalist aesthetics, hipster fashion, and indie sleaze.

The average millennial is like a techie version of hipster and kinda fat with a button-down that has little anchor or whale patterns. They went from emo to hipster to quirk chungus and a slight reminiscence of their emo days ending up looking like JD Vance.
>>
>>18656682
Millennials spent their emo days spamming their "LOL SO RANDUMB XD" humor around this country like a plague, in a way, it was proto-quirk chungus behavior, then they grew up and went to college and turned into pseudo intellectuals typing up long essays on the evils of capitalism, masculinity, and how genders a social construct, essentially laying the blueprint for all the leftist trash we had to deal with in the late 2010s and early 20s, then they hit their mid 30s and reverted back to their quirk chungus antics because they couldn't handle the fact that they were old and longer hip, essentially turning into their parents they so criticized in their youth. Millennials just can't catch a break, they were doomed from the start.

Millennial here. Can someone please explain Gen Z fashion to me beyond the obvious stuff like le baggy pants meme. Are there distinct labels of fashion subcultures for Gen Z? The impression I get is that they form all of their style from late 90s early 2000s Japanese entertainment. Makes me think of Dreamcast, ps1/ps2 games.

Their fashion is mostly dictated by TikTok which is dictated by Kpop. Anything a Kpop group does gets passed onto internet crowds.
Y2K and alt “emo” Y2K, eboy/egirl, therian-core, which is a grungy and alt version of Y2K, and then there’s femboy. Zoomer “basic” is basically what any frat boy has been like since the 2000s with a slight change in haircut, and for girls, from sexy leggings and Ugg boots from 15 years ago, to baggy blue jeans and white sneakers.
Zoomer men hairstyles are the broccoli fade, the bird nest mop that covers the forehead, which derives from the millennial skater boy haircut, or a K-pop/anime haircut as long as the parting, or lack thereof, isn’t from the side.
Girl hairstyles are basic white girl straight, a coke slut hairstyle with two knots/buns like sailor moon, a wolf cut, which is a tomboyish mullet, a short middle-parted mullet to show androgyny, or Dutch braids that stick to the head rather than loose like pigtails.
>>
>>18660082
Thanks, this makes sense and helps add a label to what initially just looked like a big hodge podge of “vibes” and “aesthetic”. Although anyone could find a caricature of any of these and poke fun at it, the millennial fashion in comparison was basically just the stomp clap hey soiface dogshit. Hideous extra long buffalo check flannels with some crazy contrasted colorway like cyan and blue, skinny jeans, beanie, bitch tits from drinking craft beer, or the dumbass wearing slim cut jeans with a v-neck tee and blazer jacket. Zoomers are hitting their late 20s and at some point they are going to have to start transitioning from their very bold outfits into a more modest style, but I will say that they have a fundamentally superior sense of silhouette and proportions, and they definitely saw the mistakes of the craft beer drinking millennial cosmopolitan and instead favored a more health-oriented lifestyle where they focused on their actual physique and attractive qualities. They will not have any issue putting together solid outfits using more classic and unassuming pieces of clothing because they will more easily craft a good silhouette which is like 70% of what makes a fit look good. I don’t suspect that they will hold onto the ultra baggy pants meme, but they will likely start gravitating to a slightly less absurd version of that such as normal relaxed/wide 501s. Overall though, I would pick the wild y2k zoomer fits any day of the week over millennial fashion. Much more interesting outfits while perfecting the basics of proportions
>>
>>18660092
To be fair, most of that HR department post-hipster shit was done by the older millennials who were borderline Gen-X. Usually they were either the techies trying to geek up hipster a bit, or were from the Midwest and late to the trends. Especially the blazer and slimmed bootcut jeans look like they’re software developers at an expo. These older ones are the same people who got fat and have those button-downs with little anchors patterns on them. The same people who are married to a quirk chungus. Meanwhile, the middle and younger millennials were more into emo, scene, that galaxy fad, the brief seapunk fad, crust punk, HYPHY, and some variant of raver.
Older millennials were like Brian Griffin from Family Guy and looked like they exclusively shopped at GAP. Middle and younger millennials were a lot more youthful and were the ones obsessing over a thigh gap.
>>
>>18660144
I still stand by my point. I am 31, so at the tail end of the millennial generation and I still partook in some of the retarded millennial trends from 2012-2016 like slim jeans and tight t shirts until the Mac Demarco thrifter slackercore stuff started blowing up, which I would consider to be the best version of millennial fashion even though it still isn't all that great looking back. My point is that although Gen Z has some wild and bold fashion subcultures, I still think in the big picture they can craft better outfits compared to millennials because they have a much more solid understanding of proportions and silhouette, and they are inherently more interested in toning their physique which makes them look objectively better in any outfits they wear.
>>
>>18660164
I agree. Baggy millennial pants just means wearing a size too big and looking ill-fitting. Baggy zoomer pants means a wide leg opening, yet fitting properly with the correct waist size. Kind of like Reggie from Rocket Power. Tight shirts are still a thing, but what zoomers do is have muscles to show off, which backs up what you said about fitness and silhouettes.
>>
>>18660034
It's kind of hard to describe, even for me, because a lot of it comes and goes through the feed-based attention economy we live in now - thus the rise of fashion "microtrends" that barely last a month or so. Realistically you could just check whatever pages have been updated recently on the aesthetic wikia or something, which is a better idea than trying to get a grasp on what the entire generation is doing as a whole (it's too fragmented). But from what I see IRL, it's currently baggy pants and earth tones alongside spamming as many piercings/rings/accessories as possible - itabags, plastic-encased mascots and plushes, et cetera. Sometimes a few do go for a general "alt" look which just bastardizes and melds punk/goth/emo/scene into some sort of baseline look that's "different" with colored hair (usually either bleached, white/grey, or dark primary colors)

They weren't at all. Everyone looked back on the 90s with affection, hence the supremacy of hip hop, punk, goth and alternative rock in 00s subculture. The 2010s broke totally with the 00s like the 90s did with the 80s, but the 00s grew organically from the 90s and revived the 80s on top of it.
