Odd (stupid) fashion trends

Over the last year or so I have noticed a rather strange trend. I have been seeing more and more people wearing baseball hats with the bill flat and the hat at an upward angle, and turned slightly left or right. It looks awful. I can't ever remember seeing this until recently. Whenever I wear a hat, I fold the bill and wear it either straight ahead or straight back-wards. Anyone know the origin of this or why it is cool? Some rapper or something?

Several other things come to mind:

Bell bottoms
Ultra-low waist lines
Frankenstein style lifts on shoes, for the women . Seriously, it's an ankle sprain waiting to happen.

I love the ultra-low waistlines on women personally, but one thing I can't understand are the pants that guys wear that are around their knees with their entire arse hanging out. ie. the super-ultra-uber baggy pants

The fashion accessory of today is PERSONAL ELECTRONICS.

Seriously. I visited Los Angeles recently, and in the hospital waiting room I sat in, 75% of the people spent 90% of their time staring at their cell phones.

And I was one of those 75%.

I confess, I tried to pull up TFP on my phone. Halx's "rebuilding, ETA" one-liner was about the right length to fit on my screen, too.

Whenever I see a kid wearing those, I really want to "pants" them.

My dad sometimes yells at those guys. "Pull your DAMN PANTS UP!"

Yeah - they might as well tattoo "Please Don't Have Sex With Me" on their foreheads.

I personally think that the "gangsta" trousers are past their prime. You just look like a prat. Quite what people think of themselves when they wear such stuff is beyond me.

Low-waisted pants, as well as too-tight pants, are being overused, especially by girls who shouldn't be wearing them. Lovehandles may be cute, but accentuating them is not.

Also, there's this new hairstyle for guys I like to call "The Hedgehog," "Rooster" or "True Out-Of-Bed Look." Basically, it's hair that's been spiked, then flattened on the left and right sides of the head, leaving a "blade" of hair standing right there in the middle. The first time I saw this, I was instantly filled with a sense of fear and loathing.

Does anyone remember those band-like things, that were straight (think a piece of Laffy Taffy), but when you slapped it against your arm, it would "curl" into a bracelet?

I remember they used to be all the rave a few years ago, but I forget what they were called exactly.. They were like bracelets, but initially they were straight and flat.. And only when you slapped them against your arm, would they curl into a bracelet.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? I am pretty sure I am not making this up, but my lack of details makes me question myself.

No I remember those things. Actually, I have a Sony radio that is made for running, or in my case mowing the lawn, that has one of these things to attach the radio to your upper arm. AND, my 5 yo daughter has one that is red, whit and blue with stars. I think those may still be 'cool'. Can't remember the name tho'.

You know what else is really bad...

I just went downstairs for lunch and I saw a woman with one of those purses shaped like a small schoolbag/napsack.

I just don't get it. Are these women going to school...little itty bity school?
And why do they leave the sholder straps so loose so that the bag is hanging lower than their butt?

At one time, leg warmers were just that. Leg Warmers. They were used by dancers to keep their legs warm and to prevent cramping. I believe the movie 'Fame' started the leg warmer as a fashion trend.

And I have always hated baggy pants around your arse...

That's what I was thinking of too. I always laughed my ass off when I saw someone wearing those dumb things.

Another thing I always laughed at are those stupid ass fanny packs. I think that's what they're called. I know that everyone who wore those had a low IQ.

I never liked those big clunky-soled shoes that girls wear. The ones where the soles are like an inch and a half think. They're not quite platforms (which most folks agree are ugly) and not quite regular but they were really popular, and maybe still are though I haven't seen as many lately. I can't imagine why it bothers me so much, but it does. I'll see a really hot chick wearing them and not be able to see anything but how stupid those shoes look.

I wear flare legged jeans....I like them cuz they're comfy and because the pant leg actually goes over top of my shoe. (i'm obsessed with that)
I don't like the super low cut waist ones though...your butt hangs out of them when you bend over

I've been seeing the hat thing lately too....I wonder what's up with that

I see this everyday at my school. It makes me wonder what the hell they're hiding in those things. I'm always expecting it to be like a clown car, with ten overly made-up midgets waiting to get out.

I like low rise pants as much as the next man, but, as previoulsy mentioned and like spandex, there should be rules on who can wear them.

Men, should not be considering low rise pants. I don't care what the ads say.

Women who will have flaps of fat pushed up by the low-rises, also should not be considering them.

Hey...you don't have to get personal, there's no need for that.

How about "stretch pants" or any spandex item on a fat person? That always makes a nice fashion statement.

i disagree with that. there are some guys i have seen that look good in lowrise pants. not many, but some. but you are right on the matter of fat people need to walk away. there's a point where it's sexy, then it's ok, then it's they need a bullet in the brain.

one trend i heard was coming out, if not already out, were plastic nipples for women. personally, i'm not much for the hippie posers with head lights up here anyway, or just the headlight fashion in general. it looks bad. but to make plastic nipples so they show up more? what's the point?
