A lesson each generation has to learn by itself, it seems

I’d like to think that’s kind of the point, like the first few videos pointing out “cheugy” trends were mainly lighthearted and we were laughing at trends we all used to wear/recognise. It was supposed to be funny. It was only later on that it became like weird bullying

Thank you

😭😭this comment is gold

i wish fetch happened so bad, the amount of times i wanted to say “thats so fetch” in a white rich girl accent is astronomical 😭

yes. perfect!

I definitely agree. I think this kind of mindset only encourages people to engage in bad habits, like getting rid of clothes, that are perfectly wearable, after a few years. If the stuff you buy is considered out-of-date within five years, or even less, than that just encourages people to cycle out their wardrobe more often, creating more waste and higher participation in fast fashion

Both generations are drenched in capitalism. If you're wearing fast fashion and have a smart phone you're a consumer.

Exactly. This 'conflict' was manufactured for us, and unfortunately people are playing right into its hands. It's ageist, it's sexist, and it's classist, and people in both generations are being used like pawns to push it. The best thing we can do is refuse to play this game.

The idea that Millennials, aka the main targets during the rise for fast fashion, do not heavily participate in capitalism and are not also responsible for rampant consumerism is so laughable I don’t even know how you could insinuate otherwise.

Bro we are to broke to buy NEW CRAP

@@cayden114 Yes but I've seen a dozen of Gen Z thinking that they're the "Best generation"

I feel like a lot of fashion influencers dp this

Yes! Thank you!

Therefore will be cheugy at some point on multiple occasions. 😂

As a Millennial I remember hearing this saying, “she lived in the (insert time period) and never left.” If anyone knows the exact quote and where it’s from please share. It might have been an insult but I thought it was inspiring to dress how you like regardless of what was trending. My bestie was a goth in the late 90’s to early 2000’s and people hated it. I believe pastels, bright colors, and hip hop style was in. Her mom was a proud 70’s style Wiccan/Pagan and that was horrible to the trendy devoted Christians. I think there’s nothing wrong with trends, but people are gonna wear what they like no matter what is in. I love the new ideas any Generation brings so I’m fine with this. All I’m saying is if anyone is gonna dish it out, y’all better take it too. Hopefully it can be all in good fun. 😊 P.S. - I remember when people were ashamed of the things they wore in the 80’s, 90’s, early 2000’s. Then in the late 2010’s to now various trends made a come back. I predict the next trend will definitely be hipster fashion evolved (maybe that’s light & dark Academia or is that the evolved preppy style?) It would be cool if cottage core evolved or we get eco-friendly fashion. Maybe a hemp clothing phase? The creative ideas are endless.

This.Truly stylish people are the trend setters, not the followers. Noone will call a copycat iconic, and it also applies to people who just wear the "must-have" products instead of trying to find their own style.Also, it shows kind of insecurity, because you go for what everyone wants just because you think you won't fit in anywhere otherwise.

Yes! I’m 31 and remind myself of this often. I’m cool with being slightly outdated now with my style choices and I love watching Gen Z restyling and finding joy in things that I used to love when I was younger.

Totally agree! As Gen Z though, it’s important to remember to not turn these style critiques into ageist and sexist remarks. Don’t want to wear skinny jeans? Cool! Don’t call the 30 something women who do “old” and “cringey” for wearing them though. Aging in American society is terrifying, especially for women, so let’s voice our opinions on fashion in a way that centers style, not age.

both sides are being really mean, though. Rebelling against the system doesn't actually include shaming others for their fashion or language choices, even when they're not insulting anyone. I'm in a strange in-between those two generations and I can't fully support any of them lol

@@chrystheo808 I agree. As Gen Z too, I don't really care what adults wanna wear. It's their choice anyway, and I respect that. I don't think anyone should be shamed just because they think some clothes are "outdated" or "cheugy".

My thought too . Even tho I think both sides are doing too much because gen z they're trying sometimes really hard to pick on millennials

literally whenever something happens to fashion women, workers, and the environment always get the short end of the stick

@@josjoererg FR THO

@@cgonz777 mom jeans are pretty trendy right now

@@cgonz777 flares too and wide leg

Agreed. A fourth solution is to wear things that are vintage but timeless pieces.

The difference between fashion and style is self-expression. Go for what you love. Go for your style.

Ikr 😭 only Americans seem to have this problem, where I'm from ppl don't give a sht

Im in the us too, i still see other gen z wearing both styles

in poland we just giggle at these millenial styles that are kinda ugly now but there's no war we all wore those things 5-10 years go

This. People from USA are usually really weird with their generational divide. I’ve spoken with people from there that say 25 y.o is old, when on the rest of the world 25 is… pretty young? It’s the moment when you are actually an adult. Or like the side part and clothes. I’m really surprised how much they fight with the age gap thing (the adults insulting kids, and these kids that make fun of adults for… wearing what they like?). Just use whatever you want haha. And the fashion there goes so quickly. Imagining the amount of clothes they must throw every year makes me feel like crying haha.

it sucks even more that even if women are already treated badly, other women feel the need to exacerbate the situation (ie. "not like other girls" girls, sl*t shaming, shaming women for not dressing a certain way, etc.) which doesn't help at all

people in general

Because then you can't sell them stupid shit

@@TheMrsarahanne90 yup

Yeah, that is a trend I've seen coming up. Like bullying and being mean in general seem to be "in" right now. Like we've gone full circle from cringe edgelord to faux woke virtue signaller to cringe edgelord again. Like I had to explain to my 16 year old brother why saying "autistic screeching" is rude to autistic people and is dehumanizing. Like he was just coming back to "it's just a meme" and I'm like "but why is it a meme? What is its purpose as a meme; where is the humor?" Same with the "this is a hatecrime" and "I'd rather you just call me a slur". Like if any of these people had ever experienced those things they wouldn't be saying it! Especially over shit like "gentlethem" or "thembo" - like let nbs of all ages have things? I now see why everyone says teenagers think they know everything. And I say this as a mid twenties adult with massive arrested development. It's so arrogant? I'm just concerned at this point.

This generation war is mostly American thing, no one outside of north america truly cares

@@iicii77 I swear America is the most dramatic country

I'm Gen Z too and Honestly Life Is so much better when you Stay away From the Algorithm.

Being an individual is frowned upon now. You have to look, think, like and live like everyone else. Then when someone strays from it they are considered the enemy. They don't want people to think for themselves, just work, eat, watch and shop.

Exactly. It’s just manufactured by the hyper capitalist world we live in so people think they need to be on trend always, and think being old is abhorrent. Some of Gen Z takes this cue to be needlessly critical, and some Millenials take it super personally or react before anything has even been said because they feel insecure about aging. It’s just hypercapitalism

True

pretty much every type of fashion-related critiscism is based on misogyny lol it's always women's fashion getting the flack... men walk around looking like garbage but you don't see them getting called out by the millions on tiktok

Straight up. Like we aren’t allowed to wear it anymore because we are too “old”

The idea that there’s something wrong with adult women for not dressing like modern high schooler’s is just….

@@user-fc8mf2is4b My dad keeps getting this ridiculous add for a sweater that literally looks like it was taken out of Saturday Night Live saying that hoodies look terrible on a guy his age and completely bashing older guys who wear hoodies saying that their “Hoodless hoodie” is more mature and superior. It was literally called the “Hoodieless Hoodie,” I swear I can’t even take them seriously. I think it was a Sketchers add, freakin well established company advertising like this? I’m not a dude and I don’t go searching around for guys fashion tips but from what I have seen there are a lot of “if you wear your shirt like this, girls won’t date you,” and a lot of other harsh comments. So, I don’t know, it seems like men who are interested in clothing get a lot thrown at them online too. Just by looking up styling tips for women vs men, men’s are sometimes brutal and much more specific. Women’s usually include something like “do what feels right.” Guys aren’t expected to have a style, but follow one it seems like. Idk why I’m rambling so much, just a deep wish I have to see more guys wearing interesting stuff and having interest in fashion for my own pleasure haha

agreed.

Absolutely ! You can only wear trends when they are trendy. Personal style remains forever ! And does not contribute to materialism !

Same. I like my wrestling tshirts and jeggings. Imma stick with them.

i don't mind trends in moderation, and think they are inevitable. i honestly think some levels of trends can make people feel seen and make them feel comfortable. these are just annoying and do contribute more damage to the environment, along with encouraging people to not express themselves how they want to

yeah, we are just feeding capitalism without noticing

I got in trouble with my boss (who was an elderly nun) for saying "derp". I was 31 at the time lol

@@DrinkYourNailPolish I once sent an email to my boss at my previous job where I included "btw", and it was a pretty casual quick email, nothing that needed to be formal, and she absolutely exploded. She ranted at me for 20 minutes about how I was never to use acronyms again. So naturally, I used them in every email from that time on.

my moms in her mid 30s and i’m a teenager and we have everything in common so i literally don’t even get the drama with millennials and Gen Z…

@@cbpd89 thats so wholesome and cute

Like _loogie._

I found it ridiculous to change fashion every 2 months. What a waste of resources

I'm really glad no one uses the word outside of Tiktok and Buzzfeed. Imagine how annoying it'd be if it were actual slang you had to hear IRL.

I would've found the word adorable tbh if not for the concept attached to it, it makes me think of a fairy type baby pink Pokemon 😂

I’m not going to like the word until I figure out how it was came up with. It’s such an… odd word.

So you're insulting further than the clothes and how the person presents them. Worse lmfao

children need to define themselves against childish things, this would be fine if they didn't try and tell other people what to wear or had any generational style of their own, but Gen Z is mostly wearing Y2k the Millennials dropped, as in the Y in Gen Y?

@@seabreeze4559 Lol the majority of gen z isn't actually on tiktok telling millennials what they can't wear. The OC is right, some might find it outdated and childish(?)because it was worn during middle school but not to the extent that it's cringe tbh? At least for me personally.

At least you guys wore things better. Back when I was in middle school *cringe*

I think the generalization on both sides are getting out of hand. Honestly, I’m pretty sure the outrage from this word is the only thing making it popular.

@@seabreeze4559 millennials need to deal with not setting trends anymore, besides if you're secure in who you are and your style you wouldn't feel the need to attack teens for what they're wearing

It’s totes fetch

It's stupid to care about what others wear but lets be honest the majority of gen z are still literally just kids who are going throught that mid/late-teens "revolution" phase where they do everything in order to become more independent from older people. Also tbh the nature of gen z is that they r just trolling and being sarcastic about their hate towards certain fashion items, i doubt any of them would actually bash people for choosing to wear uncool things, but for many other people that kind of sarcastic speak is difficult to understand and they take it as hate. The especially problematic part tbh is that the criticism is mostly going towards women, not men and some comments are really misogynistic.

Same! I was born at the end of 1997 so I’m to young for the millennials but waaaay to old for gen Z. I just feel like the Michael Jackson GIF, the one where he’s eating popcorn 🍿😂

I was born in 94 and I feel the same way.

I really dont undertand some peoples need to be the tik tok footsoldiers of the 3 month trend cycle

The older I get the more I have my own basics that are less "newest fashion" and more "what I like". They don't fit everyone's idea of what a basic is but the fit my idea.

@@zanet391 if they look good you like it call it timeless

Your username checks out lol

the people who come up with these terms and use them in their daily lives neither care about other people nor the environment 😅

fr

Yesss

that’s the main takeaway i’ve gotten over the years. trends come and go - curating a style that’s uniquely your own is the easiest way to be seen as fashion forward. if you have items you know you’ll take care of forever it becomes a lot easier to then add to that instead of trying to keep up with trends that are changing literally every day

Honestly people that have any sense of identity or preference wrt how they dress aren't bothered by this... not be mean but the white middle/upper class millennial women mad about this to me sound like their only identities and preferences are just "millennial culture" and/or what's trendy and that's why they're so heated about this because it's not trendy any more. If they had any sense of preference outside of that they wouldn't care either, but they don't have that sense of identity because they're just... bland. You dont see goths or punks or home sewists or people interested in vintage fashion in this "war" because they actually know what they like.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too if they already have their own sense of personal style they're not going to care about it but the millennials who don't have their own sense of style and literally only wear what's trendy BECAUSE it's trendy re freaking out because they figured out that they've gotten older and they're no longer the stylish generation. But if they had their own personal style philosophy or whatever they wouldn't care at all. Due to my religion I phased all pants out of my wardrobe. Which is pretty radical to a lot of people but it's my personal style my personal philosophy influenced by nothing other than my religion and personal conscience. If these women maybe had something else such as like religion or music or their personality that they use to choose to what to wear they wouldn't be freaking out and embarrassing themselves

​@EKGsandPianoKeys right!

Basically. All the stuff from high school tucked away in my old closet in my parents house is now back in style.

@EKGsandPianoKeys i love seeing and hearing things that make me feel nostalgia. Olivia Rodrigo... 👌👌👌👌

I wore baby clothes in the 90s

Exactly. I can’t take fashion criticism coming from someone wearing a reboot of my 90s wardrobe. Or even what would have been my mom’s 90s wardrobe. It’s like a reincarnation of what would have been the 90s equivalent of “cheugy”! Not hating, it’s their own tame form of rebellion. We were way more vicious against our elders in the 90s. They tolerated us because they destroyed their parents in the 60s.

I love seeing positive comments in a sea of mean ones lol

That is very generous for you to say, especially considering the cringe and, frankly, bad attitudes, of the millennial women represented in this video. Not that ModernGurlz was trying to represent Millennials badly, just that these women in particular were really showing their...let's just say "butts." But, I agree with you! The true gap between Millennials and gen Z is far smaller than the gap between Millennials and Boomers. We cannot deny that technology and communication have allowed us to continue to be people that want to grow and learn and understand and that includes what the younger generation have to bring to the table. I'm 34, by the way. So, you know, definitely evil and unsupportive of the younger generations and definitely, definitely, chuegy. 🤣

Because they learned from the boomers' mistakes, lol.

They’re not actually fighting gen z, they’re fighting fashion trends. What’s in, will go out. What’s out, will come in later on.

@EKGsandPianoKeys so you have so much energy for us but are mocking us with the boomers

We got sandwiched lol

@EKGsandPianoKeys Gen X here and I'm watching this like... "I've never even heard of the out-of-date stuff, let alone the stuff that's trendy now." I wear one pair of jeans, own a half dozen black t-shirts, still listen to Prince and Nirvana and still color my hair unnatural colors about every two weeks. Can "chill-gie" be a thing? I think I'm chillgie. LOL (I think I just made MYSELF cringe writing that LOL)

TBH from what I've seen on the gen z side they were just talking about the latest fashion trends and what was currently in style. Some millennials took it as a personal attack and started to retaliate(in very cringe ways) and of course with gen z mostly being children reacted in a way you'd expect from someone with their level of maturity. By pointing fingers and laughing at them.

That’s a one sided argument, I’ve rarely seen millennials get “shamed” for side parts or skinny jeans until they made songs about on tiktok

I believe these wars are only virtual. People create the videos and songs only to step on the bandwagon on what everyone is talking about. In reality I have never seen any young version pointing and laughing at an older millennials' side part 😂😂

@@Thisworldisagoner Yes! This is it. Also why are people so offended over a comment that didn't even happen? I get a lot of insecurity from the women offended by it. I'm an adult gen z and if someone told me i dress "cheugy" i wouldn't even care because i enjoy my life the way I want. Also why are women going against women again?? Haven't we learned yet, that there are currently more pressing matters and that we need to work together to fix them???

@@Deckenmoenchin so true!! And calling a product someone owns "cheuggy" is so problematic because that can make people want to buy something new, and it just promotes consumer culture all the more.

Boho wyu

Frugal Aesthetic does make videos that make fun of brand obsessed streetwear trend, the menswear equivalent of cheugy.

@@prairielily08 but women are putting the social pressure on themselves

I agree with you! I think that is one of the benefits of getting older, is that as you grow more comfortable in your own skin. You realize that you don't just have to follow along with everyone around you. You can decide what makes you feel good, what looks good on you, and let the trends eb and flow, while you become more constant in what brings you joy. And so, while children will always be looking around to know "what should I be doing," it's part of growing as a person to realize, "Oh, I can just do what's right for me." A simple concept, but one that comes with time and experience. Therefore, I find more fault with the older generation that feels the need to "clap back" on these children. Because honestly, they should just know better. They should be able to see that this is the natural course of life... There will always be the older generation-- settling-in-- while the younger generation comes up, and is growing. I'm 34 btw, 🤣. Clearly an evil, cheugy, millenial. 💁‍♀️

Yup, this cheugy stuff is basically a backlash against stuff from the 2010s.

but then gen Z has no style of their own, zero, it's the Y2k stuff Gen Y abandoned

@@seabreeze4559 it's similar to millennials trying 70s fashion back in the 90s, eventually gen z will create their own aesthetic

To be fair...COVID. We were stuck at home with nothing to do. We were all trying to find ways of passing the time.

I mean this is a quasi-documentary on what millenial styles gen z doesn't like so it's not exactly one-sided waste of time. It's all silly but have a little self awareness here.

I mean, we could say the same about the younger generation having way too much time on their hands to make videos about older trends.

exactly, it's annoying for an entire generation's style to be so generalized. not everyone wears the same things, even in the same age group.

Trends in general are fleeting and pointless. I’m a millennial and hated almost every millennial style trend. I’ve always been obsessed with disco, so I got Farrah Fawcett hair in college and have had it ever since because it makes me happy and I truly don’t care what people think of it. Just do what you love!

EXACTLY

It's always the white and/or privileged crowd who fights about this dumb stuff (on both sides)

In my opinion we should wear what we want to wear and what is looking good on us. Skinny jeans make me look skinny and proportionate, but mom or boyfriend jeans make me look short and big nearly as a square. But I love cottage core and shirts with puffy sleeves and other things. Mix and match is the way 😁

I'd risk saying everyone needs their brow tail for facial harmony lmao, shaving it off is defo a choice

Thank you, I have always felt this was about middle parts. I hate them because they don't look good on me, and everyon's face shape is not meant for a middle part just like some are not meant for side.

@@butterfly-of-prairie-limin9012 Same, I have what you'd call a cow lick that just won't let me do a middle part.

I get what you're saying but I think it's fun to embrace something new too. I've worn my hair in a side part for so long it almost automatically does it. Tried a middle part and it actually looked good on me. I say use it as a way to get out of a beauty and fashion rut.

I really like skinny jeans. You can wear them with different shoes, wear them different places. And they're still very popular in many demographics, so it's not like wearing them makes you this social pariah

That’s because “we as a generation” don’t claim anything. We still have very diverses life experiences that lead to a diversity of opinions and lifestyles

facts, it’s the millennials who peaked in high school and were popular who are taking it personally cause they can’t handle the fact they’re not young anymore

Same! I really didn't start figuring out my sense of style until getting over my anxiety after college. And because I was never able to keep up with other people's fashion I just made up my own thing. Sounds a lot easier than the whiplash of fickle fashion trends.

For real, if it wasn't for the fact that I subed to this channel I don't think I would know how untrendy I am

And thus, we must bully them, as it is tradition.

@@aidoll3692 I'm 27 and work in finance, I will probably skip bullying kids and let them have their moment.

@@yeebler Good for you. Though, many people around your age can't seem to say the same 🤔

@-your mom sells arbonne- Yeah, but it's also kind of a waste of time and unproductive, and on top of that it creates pointless prejudice🤷‍♀️ I don't understand what we're trying to prove to each-other? That our style is better? Isn't style subjective? Like huh?

I think Gen Z will take it so much better than other generations. We literally turn everything into a joke, it’s never that deep💀

exactly it’s so shallow to just do that to an age group of women who are considered cringy in everything they do anyways !

honestly im here for making fun of minion memes and those -live laugh love- signs but I just don't get why people care soo much if someone wears something old or out of style.

@@stuartist ageism? but y2k is gen y too and gen z is wearing that

@@stuartist Exactly, couldn’t have said it better! Also it’s so sad to see generational wars around something so subjective as fashion.

So true, and as a millennial: everything that's "cheugy" right now will be back in a decade or two, that's how it always works. My generation revived a lot of 70's, 80's and 90's fads during middle grade, high school, and college. It all revolves back around with a new twist, but it's all the same. Also: Burgundy is my favorite color and timeless for fall no one could stop my from wearing it lol

THIS! i feel that so many people figured out their styles and what they like, that what was wore before seems obsolete

Mhm! Ive definitely been able to express myself more because of quarantine and Ive gotten a better sense of self without even thinking about others opinions.

absolutely. my sense of style has changed so much. now almost everything I own feels out dated :/. not that I really have the money to replace my closet whenever I feel like it

I went through this separation physically but most importantly spiritually in Christ. I stopped caring about what the world thinks…and now dress like it was 1948

@@oliviaann9946 i recommend thrift stores! if you feel like you’re taking away less fortunate people’s chance for good clothes, you can try places where they give money for clothes. ex: 2nd street etc!! gl :)

Agreed!

I bet Gen X is getting a kick out of this nonsense 🤣

Exactly. Cheugy is so freaking cheugy

Chuegy itself sounds chuegy like not even what it means just the word sounds so…..chuegy

The word IS cheugy but its also the closest term to describe the very specific mid 2000s outdated type of style.

I cannot wait also!! It’ll be outdated soon and someone will come up with a more “groovey” “awesome” “dope” word note the sarcasm and emojis here! 🤣🤣🤣

totally.

Same for me. I'm small 155cm and not skinny. I wouldn't wear crop tops for example

Same here..my hair curly in a manner that makes me look like Louis XIV if I part it in the middle

‘97 Zoomer here. I rock both (middle and side) it’s just up to my mood. I can’t even digest why they make a huge deal out of something as trivial as this.

lol same and the skinny jeans debate is even dumber imo, i still wear that shit 😭

@@SusanDelRey same! I do wear a midlle part now because it looks good with my bangs, but wenever they grow I start side parting, because my hair has a tendency to side part itself, so i just let it be. some people look better with a certain look, and that is just natural! is really dumb to say "everyone should follow this trend" because not every one can pul it off the same look.

Same I look pretty wierd with the middle part thingy

Not every women is a feminist

@@BriBee2468 every women should be

​@@madisoncontroversial7348 Women are humans with individual minds and opinions so no not 'every' women should

@@BriBee2468 that’s the point of feminism 😂

Not everything is about feminism smh. Women “which are humans “can’t fight and have disagreements without pulling the feminism card anymore 🤡

I share my closet with my mom who was born 1963. She has pieces from the 90s and early 00s that still fit her and now fit me. And people always ask where I got them haha.

VERY TRUE i used to wear coats i got as hand me downs or was gifted during winter to school instead of colorful goose down jackets which was the trend and some did call me old fashioned by i honestly didnt care because i really liked how coats looked. I was literally the only one who dressed like that but a year later there was an increase in coat wearers 😂

thats so cute!

A lot of my style comes from clothes my mom get rid of. I incorporate some of her style in mine. Adds to it. Not a big deal.

Cardigans are like wearable blankets. I'm very glad I dress how I want bc cardigans are comfy as hell and underrated.

I will definitely agree with this. I was in my mid teens when hiphuggers were all the rage. I wore them though I sported a muffin top with them. But my shirts covered my midriff, mainly due to strict dress codes at school. But I remember some girls wearing both the hiphuggers and crop tops, and they were incredibly thin. Today, I see a lot more body positivity with curvy girls wearing the crop tops and showing the midriff, but with my age and current personal tastes, I'm not willing to try it myself.

@imperium it was literally a "goal" to get a belly button ring for some people, me included.

that's probably very true but tbh even in this day and age, it's still a long way to go before most people reach that body positivity or neutrality point. at least in my opinion, even as a gen z teen i unfortunately think that way, even when i was a kid. in terms of "you can wear this if you look like this", society hasn't changed very much in recent years.

@@chaaaargh like, gen z is so body positive but you yourself aren't on that level yet? that sounds really tough. :/

@@corrie6744 no they aren't. They hate skinny girls like me. face it. nowadays skinny girls are the ones hated.

I think why Gen Z hates "cheugy" style so much is that all those trends reigned supreme while we were in middle school. Everyone wore the heck out of cold shoulders and Adidas Superstars and now we can't help but feel like those things look cheap and childish. I'd never let the word "cheugy" in my mouth though. And it's fine if millennials wear those things tbh because that was actual fashion for them, not over-worn trends by middle school kids

In reality most of us don't really care about the environment as much as people think, but I do agree we should never make fun of people's style no matter what it is

@@katesuperczynski5620 most reasonable response…

@@sofiabravo1994 Hahaha thank you

Gen z kind of pretends to care about things for social points. We really care as much as everyone else

"Flesh prison" 🤣 I'm stealing that

Literally screaming at the top of her lungs over kids being kids 🤣

@@eviedegrandpre5268 fr, "i don't care" alright sweet. So why are we yelling again?

You mean it’s hypocrisy? (serious question) i adapt diffrent Trends that are popular at a certain time bc i like to West them still and than i am considered cheuqy of wtf its called. It screams fast trends and so fast fashion to me especially with tik tok there are five new trends in one day

@@malena5026 yeah that’s what I mean. Like if you’re gonna talk about what is and isn’t current then make sure you’re not wearing a necklace that was trending last year😂😂

@Asia Gandy there is no problem at all with wearing what you like even if it’s no longer popular. It’s only hypocrisy of you bash something that is outdated in your opinion while wearing something that was a big trend a year ago so it ist technically outdated thanks for my TED talk xD

How you tell it was fake?

gen z are literally just wearing old gen y trends, like y2k, that's why Gen Y is called that

This was a really thoughtful comment 👍

Karen isn't a misogynistic term though. It's a term for a privileged white woman who is extremely terrible towards people simply doing their jobs, or is racist towards POC.

@@mpvf0 because if she's white it's not misogyny

@@DrinkYourNailPolish Way to miss the point 😬 No one said white women couldn't experience misogyny.

It's definitely a bit of ageism too. It definitely reads as young people criticizing women for essentially getting older.

As a European, I completely agree

Not just American, but specifically white American. Do you see anybody else participating in these stupid tiktok/Twitter generation wars?

Same lol In my country few thing considered "cheugy" are still in trend the asymmetrical dress is still in fashion

@-w -a I say that because they seem to be making the most "noise", and anytime I see commentary on this type of stuff, overwhelmingly no one else is featured. Maybe that's intentional 🤔 but I also try to keep tiktok drama at a distance with a 10 foot pole so...

@-w -a I also didn't say that it "mustn't be true" but posed the question of DO YOU see anybody else participating in this dribble. Regardless, if there are other full adults having a tiktok war out there with literal children, that's on them

Actually they just said "skinny jeans go away" and apparently millennials tough that the opinion of kids/teens are more important to them that it should be (just say fuck it and wear your skinny jeans people, I am Gen z and still wearing them 💁)

It is super embarassing because millenials are the older ones and the "adults", why are you debating with the youngest generation 🤣

@@mochi19971 You know adulting is hard, they just wanna drink their wine, go to Disney world and find out their Harry Potter houses in peace (I hope the sarcasm is obvious)

It’s the first time millennials really realized we weren’t the cool young generation anymore!

Many Gen Z are also adults.

Lol I got rose gold jewelry I still wear. I think the lighter hues are pretty. The very pink rose gold look cheap to me though.

I don't think I made the best choice with my rose gold apple watch because some of the straps I like don't go with rose gold. But phones and smartwatches are expensive and made by people who are just barely above slaves, so we need to stick to our guns. Rose gold forever!!!!

Rose gold is still ugly 🤧😷😷

i’m 15 and i have a rose gold iphone lol i didn’t even knew it was a thing i just like the color pink🧍‍♀️

I always liked rose gold... But i don't necessarily have a favorite color to begin with. I noticed a lot of accessories I'm unconsciously getting lately are grey/blue, light/sky blue, that area. But i still like rose gold and combining different colors together. People shod have fun with their items

Can I point out all the offended millennials shown were all white American women? I feel like they are the main ones getting offended while the rest of us don’t care

@No U well i mean..there was a girl crying and screaming

The social media aspect does add a new aspect of meanness to it all. Like, I doubt my mother had to deal with being called a "hag" by teenagers at 24. And the misogyny underlying it all is genuinely aggevating, so I have sympathy for the women who are irritated

@@MsNinjani my father was already considered old at 20 back in his days (usually by adults) so I’m pretty sure it was always like that I’m only 20 but my brother considers me old and when I think about it that’s normal. He’s only been alive for 9 years so I’m twice his age. It’s like talking to a 45yo for me, or a 70yo for someone in their 30s, it’s about perspective I guess

@@moonchild6352 not just old, it's just to me "hag" is a very rude insult.

I don't know how to feel either (I'm also 23). in HS I absolutely loathed the minimalism of the 2010s😅 It made me explore other styles tho which was fun

I’m a year younger. Born 1998. It’s definitely weird to be in between. I didn’t like the styles we had in early to mid 2010’s. 2016 and onwards had the better fashion of the decade IMO. But my favorite style probably has to be from the 2000’s. And even then the trends of that era came from other times like the 60’s and 70’s and some leftover from the 90’s. So I love all those decades. I even love more retro stuff like 20’s-50’s. I have an appreciation for a lot of fashion tbh. I just don’t like how things were executed in the 2010’s. Literally the most ridiculous cheap looking clothes ever thanks to fast fashion. I haven’t really had any style the past few years because of personal reasons but when the time comes for me to finally start putting myself out there I’m just gonna wear whatever I think is cool

I’m the same , born in 97 , we are technically considered gen z but like the oldest ones . I always feel stuck in the middle

i'm 1996 and i see different results on what the "exact line" of millennial and gen z is . Ive seen 1994,1995, 1999 etc so we're considered in between "zillenials" . I love/prefer the current 2020s fashion trends,new music, and new humor instead of the stuff before but i guess i don't quite belong so its confusing and sad😭

🌼My thoughts exactly but what else are people going to do in lockdown?🌼

gen z is the worst about that, like they are trying to quickly label and compartmentalize everything they are, it seems super fake an embarrassing. yes older people did that too with emo / goth whatever but the obsession with identity has spiraled out of control

@@soso-mx8nb literally no everyone did it equally but you just blame gen z because idk you have nothing better to do than bother kids

@@eviedegrandpre5268 nah i'd argue gen z has gone more overboard with it. i was there to witness how people are with labels back then compared to now. it should not be surprising when a generation pretty much grows up online on social media, social media being a place very centered around talking about yourself. so it makes sense that this generation of young people are even more obsessed with labels and sub cultures than generations before. i even notice people on tiktok having very similar mannerisms / ways of speaking / slang etc which is understandable of every generation to a point but seems more noticeable with this generation. again, i believe this does have something to do with social media and young people are cultivating a sense of identity and belonging from social media constantly seeking out validation from other people.

@@soso-mx8nb i agree to some degree, i think social media has had a big part in making it the norm to label every little aspect about yourself and since gen z is more likely to have spent more of their life on social media vs millennials they didn't get to see what it was like before. There are still some people who realize that micro labels for everything about them aren't helpful even if they're gen z so it's not inherently a generational thing it just appears that way. Esp with most younger gen z not being taught internet safety, i.e. more likely to share every aspect abt themselves online
