It's a hilarious paradox, that we try so hard to fit in with the other non-conformists.

Man, takes me back. My middle school instituted a dress code stating we couldn't have "more than 3 inches of excess leg room" because of JNCOs. I used to be able to carry textbooks in my back pocket

Her singing “Break Stuff” was amazing

I haven’t thought about Jnco jeans in at least 20 years. Now I feel ancient. Better go get some Dunkaroos and Pogs, and put some Green Day on my Walkman.

I remember my parents wouldn't buy me them. But I DID have baggy cargo shorts. So what I'd do is stand in front of a mirror in the bathroom, then pull them down to my knees so the bottom of the shorts completely covered my skate shoes. I still remember how cool I felt. Until I had to pull my shorts back up and leave the bathroom.

For anyone curious, JNCO jeans are still around...

In 2000 I was a skater/goth in high school and the only girl in my school to wear them. There were only like 10 kids total that wore them at all. It wasn’t very popular in Chicago inner city schools.

it was also a popular brand because you could fit a ton of stollen stuff in the pockets, and about 8 cans of spray paint

I had a few pairs of wide-legged Jncos and one downside that wasn't mentioned is the way they would stir up dirt and sand from the road. Some summer days, I would take off my pants and be able to see a layer of dirt and sand all up my legs to my knees!

I still wear jncos.

I turned 14 in 93, I remember them well. The first kids I saw wearing them were definitely the skateboarders.

I unironically miss Jnco jeans and would still wear them if I could, but I suspect the reason why I liked them was for decidedly anti-trendy reasons... to me, they were just a pair of incredibly comfortable pants with big pockets.

You missed some of the appeal to this style of Jean. In the 90s we had to buy pants 2-5 sizes too big to get a sag going. This left the pants below the butt and held on by a belt and a prayer and constantly being adjusted. When this style came along the pant could be worn at the waist comfortably but the feeling in the legs was about the same as with sagged pants and the pocket placement was the same as sagged pants. It was incredibly comfortable! Though, heaven help you if it rained and all that denim got wet. Cuff them. Pin them. Hit a rave for 12 hours. The Jean cargo style naturally gave way to the khaki cargo style. The draw string was practical in theory. It let you have the large leg and cinch down to not pass around the shoe (though, personally, I never really tightened mine and I found the draw string itself was always in the way). All of the jeans I had were of this style from about 1997 when I first found a niche shop that carried them to about 2002 or so and it became hard to find them. Once you had them, you didn’t really need to buy more and more just because more were out. I mean, that’s not how anyone I knew bought clothes. I transitioned away from them when what I had wore out and I couldn’t get replacements. I would have kept buying them if they were available. The skinny jeans of the 2010’s were disgusting and most modern pants are just too narrow for my preferences. I’m not going to go back to buying extra large clothing, but I do prefer a very relaxed fit.

There’s been a noticeable improvement in content I’ve been really enjoying all the recent videos and learning a lot. You’re doing really good I really think that once more folks give your videos another chance they’ll tune back in. In the meantime I’m trying to do my part in liking and commenting and rating your videos whenever KZfaq asks me about it(which has happened twice now so hopefully that means that KZfaq’s algorithm’s is reevaluating something) You are doing really good and your super fun to watch and seeing you break for a second was really fun. I don’t want to come in and say be positive or anything but I do think that the more you can do to psyche yourself up the more it’ll come off in your delivery and jazz. Vibes don’t make or break it you are super fun to watch but they do definitely add to it. Anyway Erin I really enjoyed this video sorry for rambling

I used to love my JNCOs. They were super comfortable. They fit over my skates and kept me from ripping up my knees when I fell. I still remember them fondly 🙂

I have 8 pairs of jncos including 2 pairs from the 90s. I love them so much. So comfy.

I lived through the 90's and somehow missed this entirely.

The "Break Stuff" karaoke was amazing.

JNCO take me back to the late 90"s won't ya

I had JNCO jeans and loved them. I miss those days!

People still try to buy mine, right off my arse, every time I wear them out to the club...not that I can go out anymore. I also have a home-made pair, that a friend cobbled together out of 3-4 pair or vintage Levis, with patchwork from a kimono for flair.

petition to see Erin karaoke Break Stuff while wearing JNCOs

Like most trends, Jincos never made it to Minnesota.

I used to love these jeans for extreme rollerblading between clubs in downtown Orlando during the late 90's...

Jnco Jeans are still to this day the most comfortable jeans I have ever owned. Man I miss those jeans

The oversized back pockets, especially the double back pockets were originally meant for taggers spray cans.

I’m thinking of starting a petition to have her sing a segment of a Limp Bizkit song in every video! That was the most amazing thing ever!

Who else had a 6 foot long chain wallet connected to the jnco jeans and other baggie jeans. Besides this guy. Lol

I love how you just busted out Limp Bizkit lyrics XD Amazing LOL

Dammit. Now I have to listen to Limp Bizkit.

Break Stuff is the best Limp Bizkit song hands down. I wasn't allowed to wear jncos but I stole my stepbrother's pair once and wore them to school and it was the best day of my life. I had never felt cooler and haven't felt as cool ever since.

I graduated high school in 1999 in Newfoundland, Canada. I don't remember even knowing what Jenkos were. The first I ever heard of them was in a Good Mythical Morning episode. Glad I missed this fad. I'll always be a fac of boot cut blue jeans.

I still have a pair! Always a fan, always in JNCOs

Omg!! I had a friend named Cory who i swear owned every pair they made! They were like huge denim blankets in his legs!!

I recall in the 60s in San Francisco, when some trendy guys wore Elephant Bells. Standing still, they looked like regular bell bottom pants. But when you moved, the extreme pleats would flare out and become huge.

I’m digging through my garage to look for an old pair!

I was just talking about these jeans the other day. I had a whole closet full hahaha

JNCO jeans were the most comfortable jeans of all time and you cannot change my mind.

Is this a new series?

There was always a rumor the school was going to ban Jnkos but it never actually happened. Also my friend and I would joke about getting a pair so we could have the huge pockets, And how many lip smackers we could actually fit in those pockets.

I didn't wear JNCOs as a kid because they were expensive compared to the off-brand baggies that were becoming increasingly available. But I have purchased a few pairs (mainly shorts) since their relaunch. As a dad, I'm quite unconcerned with looking cool and appreciate the comfort and utility of loose fitting shorts with deep pockets.

My 20yr old jeans are still kicking

Break Stuff is by far the best LB song. Always gets cranked when it pops up.

JNCO still look cool. What's ridiculous is those jeans that are tight around the ankles.

fun fact, JNCO really stood for Jeans Compnany.... because they sold jeans

My brother had quite a few pairs in the late 90s, early 2000s. I think Sears or JC penny sold them in our town. Could have been hot topic too.

Break stuff is a great song for morning alarm clocks

I remember my old Kik 69s... Those were interesting jeans.

Honestly, they looked pretty ridiculous in the 90s too, and we still wore them. I once saw a schoolmate trip on his Jncos while going down the stairs at school he flew through the air and his butt popped out. Right in front of a bunch of girls. I guess there was a price to pay to look so cool 😂

I miss my JNCOs. Bring them back!

The shorts were even better!!! Flameskull King!

extra points for singing Break Stuff

Up in the club, rave music pump'n, JNCO's , Creeper leopard shoes, and matching leopard shirt with a black bucket lid. Prolly Rollin my butt off. Good times...GOOOOD TIMES!

I had JNCO Jeans and didn’t skate. I was called a poser. I wore skinny jeans when I was fat and was called a poser. I wear sweatpants 24/7 and still have a job. No one calls me poser now!

Wow, JNCOs. That takes me back.

I got a pair on right now

jnco shorts are where its at! as baggy shorts are still very much in and prolly will be forever.

I like that houndstooth top

In 8th grade I wore Jncos and XL t-shirts.... I was 135lbs 🤦‍♂️

I remember them Jnco's...

Jnco was only cool in skateboarding with kids. I would know i desperately wanted a pair when i started skating at 10. Turns out actually seeing your feet is better for skateboarding. Subsequently skateboarders were trend setters once again going the opposite way with slim fitting jeans, and more specifically stretch denim for men. Skate jeans had that in 06'. Skateboarding doesnt get the credit it deserves in fasion

Ha I can't help but laugh I still have some of these that I wear when it's generations day at the school I work at! My favorite pair has a shotgun back pocket LOL

UFO rave pants got me. 😂

Maybe it's my inner 'Farm Boy' but I never saw the Value in $60 Jeans...

I have four pair right now. That's all I wear when I'm not at work.

Man do you know how much weed and ish you could carry in them jeans. Shout out to my late 30s early 40s people who love JNCO. The 90s was awesome! Man I miss the 90s

They remind me of trip nyc pants

I still don’t see how skaters in the 90s were able to skate with those huge pants

Awesome Jeans! Hands down!

These were worn by the kids whose parents dropped them off at the theater, the kids ran across the street to Best Buy, where they proceeded to steal as many cd's as they could stuff into these jeans! It was like catching fish in a barrel just watching them try to steal!

In 2021 JNCO's are a thing.

There’s a pretty amazing meme out there that say framed JNCO = James Franco

YESSSSSS!

When you went to the rave, you had to have either Dickie's or JNCOs.

I donated my Jnco and Caffeine, and Kikwear gear three years ago. I hope it went to someone who will deserve them.

Ah yes. The quintessential nu metal jeans of choice. The year was 1999 and I was in high school... skateboarding, listening to deftones, korn, and slipknot, and hanging out at the mall on weekends.

Lmfao i used to stash ounces of weed and loads of pills in my JNCO in highschool. Also knives.

It was such a beautiful👖time...🤘🏼💯✔️

felt like the biggest 5th grade baller in JNCOS !! 😂😂😂

When did work jeans become as durable an Jnco jeans?!

I thought JNCO stood for Jean's no one can own

You can see the jeans from the 6 minute mark

I thought they looked ridiculous back then, and I was a kid.

You got plagiarized by the channel Take Flight 214 in their video What Happened To Jnco Jeans | Rise And Fall Of A Streetwear Brand. It has more editing, but worse in narrative. It must be said that the script is the same, however you have better interjections.

They're back n style and I own over 30 pairs

Ah crap, I had JNCOs

Her bangs following her eyebrows when she emotes is kinda creeping me out.

The “cool” skaters now wear Off-White Jordan’s and designer clothes 😂

Jncos were the most comfortable jeans ever.

Well for 1... if I'm a cool teenage guy and an adult asks me to take my pants off... yeah I'm still going to the cops, yo.

I loathed these but every Asian I hung with wore these religiously and guess what they are back out in 2022!

❤

I didn't understand how people liked JNCO jeans in the 90s and still don't today lol

Those pants looked ridiculous even in the 1990s.

In my day, we called jnco, skorts, or extreme bell bottoms.

I preferred Hammer pants

Kikwear > Jncos

Lol boogie weinglass did not expand too fast .....I'll leave it at that...

You guys really need a new host

Not gonna lie those things were comfy. Kids loved selling weed out of them Pullout surge colas and limp Bizkit and slipknot cds out of them . Top it off toy machine shirt booney cap and matrix sunglasses. And a big ass wallet chain.
