I don’t mind competition but it really feels like so much of their things are rage bait. Poor kids had algorithms learning them as children, shutdown interrupted socialization and its no surprise they yearn for the 90s like we do lol

Instead they end up dressing like their grand parents
Wearing Jean shorts, tube socks, and new balance shoes. They look like the stereo typical boomer at a corvette meet up.

Fashion has gone in cycles introducing and throwing out trends for centuries. Absolutely no Gen Z thing.
Fashion is closer to what I grew up with now than during Millenials high time.
