>>155109This so much. In early 2000's, when fashion designers were starting to reach back for 50s and 60s fashion, it was becoming obvious that they're running out of the ideas. Between 2004 and 2006 there was a short "Russian chic" period, with velvet uniform jackets and coats with brass buttons, satin bubble skirts, fake fur wraps and lots of frilly blouses, but after this we went back to sixties and then to eighties, which was probably the worst fashion decade ever.
What makes me wonder, is that why no one tries to bring back 20s fashion. It was pretty practical and easy to accesorize. There were some attempts after Gatsby release, but they got a weak response.

By that definition, children that fit into that criteria ARE 90s kids. Me for example live in a place where we are late on American trends where half of the stuff we knew were through friends and tv(changing now from the internet). Going into mid-2000 we still had dial up, bubble tv's, old songs, and old shows playing as they were new.

I think the problem is close fitting bottoms (skinny jeans, leggings, yoga pants) is just so ingrained as "good" right now that people are too afraid to do pants as baggy as like in the link you shared. which I think might help a lot to make an outfit seem more grunge.

British raver in 1990.
DJ Scotto in New York in 1991.
Probably British, the record he's holding is Jibaro by Electro which came out in 1988.
The last image appears to be a collage of candy ravers created to mock them. No idea of the date as it's made from 3 separate images but probably after 1995 due to the Elmo toy. The pink haired girl in the tank top is actually a guy:

I like how everything revolved around denim jeans. I hate dressing up and to be considered dressed nice by wearing a simple pair of jeans a spaghetti strap shirt, I'd be happy.
Sure, a
lot of people pull that off now, but it's considered laid back chic (usually if they're colored jeggings, not really boot cut denim jeans) but its not the same, especially since now you have to pair everything with a full face of make up. I remember during that time (I turned 13 in 2004) all of my cousins and neighbors older friends would put on some jeans, a pretty top, some bronzer, mascara, straighten their hair, perfume, jewerly and be done in like 20 mins.
If you watch a youtube vid, applying foundation is 20 mins alone, let alone getting ready in that amount of time.

>>155250I like it too but I'm very susceptible to trends.
I feel like it's one of those styles I'll look back on with intense disgust in the near future.

>>155256Cyberrghetto is a twat. She claims she makes soooo much bank from tumblr but won't tell others how when they ark. Keeps pushing and showing off her bwwm relationship and saying she can't be racist because she dates a white boy and talks like a retarded 10 year old.
Thinks taking 50+ different drugs is so cute and fun and gives advice to other teens about the drugs. Claims she started cyberghetto style too lmao. She should have a thread tbh.

>>155260Actually, I think anon meant how exactly she makes money from Tumblr, not how MUCH she makes.
It's really sus to brag about doing something, but be unable to explain it.
So either she's lying, whatever she's doing is illegal or she's just a cunt lmao

>>155267If her hair was just messy pigtails rather than half up/half down pigtails I think it'd look better imo. I love the hair clips
And if she swapped out those ugly pacifier earrings with pic related, it'd look waaaay cuter

>>155194I remember the backpack version of this. Some even had plastic flowers inside the bubbles.
Some asshole boys from my classroom often scared the girls carrying them, telling them about how much they wanted to puncture their backpacks.

did anyone shop at forever21 recently? they're trying so hard to bring "90s fashion" in again. I saw a shit ton of grunge apparel, Rugrats crop tops, baby pink pleated skirts, Hey Arnold graphic tees, OG pokemon swim suits. I was happy to see a comeback but it seems like they're just trying to cash in on nostalgia now that 90s kids are all grown and are consumers lmao.
