Exactly what I thought of lol
We’re living in the future
I knew Best Jeanist would be here
The current female waistline fashion is 1980s throwback
Does that mean 90s fashion is going to make a return soon? I am all for that to be honest.
It already is
Havent you noticed all the midrifs yet?
there was a lot of BAD 90s fashion, be cautious about what you are asking for!
Yes. Bring it all back. All of it.
Kids wearing 3rd generation Spencer Gifts Bart Simpson “Don’t have a cow man” shirts and Kris Kross coverbands!!!
My wife just bought “retro” yarn which is 90’s dayglo themed. Neon is apparently the new burnt umber or harvest gold.
The 80s throwback has lasted longer than the 80s did.
Yup. Late post to this, but went shopping with our kids the other day and our daughter picked out several of the high waisted jeans that are popular now. I just chuckled looking at them and pointed out to my wife that she used to wear the exact same thing in high school - late 80s.
As a dude of a certain age, it was baffling seeing mom jeans come back into style.
I still don’t get it, I only see this this, but whatever, you do you people. I just wish fat corduroy would come back into style, they were the shit on a skateboard back in the day.

Cords will always be cool. Brown corduroy pants on a woman does something magical for me
And there are people that make more money in a year than you’ll make in your life, whose “job” it is to decide to raise that seam a half inch up from last year for fashion, to acolades and red carpet galas praising their unparalleled genius for doing it.
Then the ones that actually make the jeans that people actually wear make less in their lives than we make in a year.
Humans are soooo weird, cruel, and cruel in genuinely weird ways.
They didn’t “decide it”. If you get fat as many nowadays do, you’ll just spill over your jeans. The only way to avoid that is by raising them up high. This is one disingenuous picture because of that.
I’d we were suddenly as soon as we were in 2011, we would wear the clothes the way we did in 2011 .
Not only is this not true, but like others in the thread have said, the current jeans fashion is actually a callback to the 1980s.
Yeah, it’s been here a while and is already moving on to the 90’s, I’m seeing huge wide jeans out there. As a slim jeans wearer who doesn’t care much for fashion I am stocking up now because they are going to be like gold dust soon, I’m not making that mistake a second time.
I’d we were suddenly as soon as we were

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?
How Soon is Now?
They haven’t been paying attention for long enough to make such a prediction.
The waist height vs time function is approachable to a sinusoidal function with a period of about 20 years.
This is the correct answer. It’s sinosoidal and the frequency has to stay low enough that the time between peaks and troughs will necessitate that people continuously buy jeans and can’t reuse the ones from the prior peak or trough.
Right. Who else remembers when bell bottoms came back what, 18 years ago?
Lady, if you’ve got the same hips after 20 years, you’re either doing something really wrong, or something really right.
It’s a manequin
Looks like a womannequin to me.
Made me laugh, thanks
Isn’t the shape of hips defined primarily by bones? 🤨
Fine, perhaps I should have said “waistline”.
Which can change over time, especially when doing activities like bearing children

It was pretty great going to high school when the interesting fashion trends were low rise jeans and thongs. I mean, the rest of high school was awful, but at least there were whale tails.
I dunno man, I had a pretty baller time watching mst3k and having huge LAN parties every weekend.
A man of class. Keep circulating the tapes.
Well you’re in luck because this meme is completely wrong. Low rise jeans are in style and have been starting to go on trend for a couple years, they’re everywhere now.
It should be:
Late 90’s to 2000’s low rise jeans
2010’s high waisted jeans
2020’s low rise jeans
2030’s Best Jeanist?
Whoever made this is a full decade out of touch with fashion.
And yet, I’m sure the pockets can’t fit a phone.
If a phone fits in a pocket, how will we sell women handbags?
ITT: 35+ year, out of shape, men.
Ah yes you didn’t like the meme so it must be sexist which demands sexism in return! Sorry they don’t make jeans in your size 😔
I’m not female. You’re still an old fat guy, discussing girl pants with a bunch of other old fat guys on the internet.
Ah yes you didn’t like the response so you must be shitty in return
I think their point is they’re out of touch. In 2023 kids are wearing baggy jeans again.
So 2 datapoints = the trend forever? I mean today I parked my car one space to the left of where I parked it yesterday. So I guess in a month it will be in the middle of the street.
Damn, there really is always an XKCD for everything!
the actual curve is a sine
2001??
1991???!!
430 bce?
… wait no actually a jdress sounds awesome
Britney Spears pulled it off in 2001.

She’s from Louisiana, which was originally a French colony whose government was based in Quebec, soooooo this tracks.
^(He was making a Canadian Tuxedo joke)
(I know, and I was saying it tracks because of Canadian and Louisiana history.)
(ok, but why are we whispering?)
Comrade Spears of the Fashion Vanguard.
So what you’re saying is the comic is backwards?
No, time is cyclical. All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.

She was acting under jress.

i was about to combine jeans and jumpsuit
i am not a smart person
I noticed 90s high top jeans are back in fashion lately, lots of 20 year olds walking around looking like my mum haha, but eventually they’ll lower again, and then go up, down, up, etc, it’s just a cycle is all.
Yup. Lots of 90s fashion is in right now. My daughter is wearing flannel shirts. I told her I could have loaned her some of mine but I got rid of them all about 20 years ago.
Yeah. Most of the flannel we have left is only good for working in the barn…
Haven’t low waist pants been having a major comeback for a while now?
Yeah you can tell that this is a place full of coders. People talking about trends from the 80s being current and 90s arriving, when 00s has been back for a while already.
I was thrilled to pull my overly baggy skater clothes out again (then decide they definitely look bad and put them back).
Haha I feel you. My theory is that once the trends and styles of your own youth reappear/are recycled by the younger generations, you are usually out of the game. That’s when you stop going with the trends. Because you cant ‘ironically’ wear the clothes you wore seriously 20 years ago, again. I can’t, at least…
Correct. Along with crop tops. Because it’s the era of paying more for less in everything, even clothing materials.
Well this is one short term effect of our system that I can get behind for now :D
I also love me some toned abs. The guys in my skate park wears crop tops and sometimes I just sit on the ground eating cherries.
🫶
They have.
Yes, whoever made this is a full decade behind fashion in every panel lol
High waisted jeans are some of the most hideously unflattering clothing I’ve ever fucking seen. It’s an instant cringe whenever I see some poor soul wearing them. I get everyone wants to follow fashion, but some fashion is just straight up ugly whether it’s in or out.
That’s almost word for word what I was thinking about low-rise jeans when they started replacing high waisted jeans. And now when high waisted jeans came back I think they look so weird.
Fashion is manipulating but some shit is just plain ugggff
…says an overweight man in cargo pants. You miss the teenage days when you weren’t fat and ugly, and young girls in low waist pants would give you some attention. You miss those times, don’t you.
Depends on whether its jeans or spandex “jeans” ie jeggings.
Getting women in spandex is always good fashion 👍

I thought about that, but in the end, it’s worth the majority that can pull them off wearing them to endure those relative few that cannot.

How is this a meme?
how is it not?
It’s a comic.
meme /miːm/ noun
an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.
This post is an image with text, humorous in nature and spread over the internet. Therefore it’s a meme.
Comics can be memes too, or would you like to argue that Loss is not a meme?
You missed out the part about it being copied. This is an original work as far as I can tell, it would become a meme if for example it was reposted in many places with different text.
Comics can of course be memes, but I don’t think this one is. What’s the Loss that you’re referring to?
This is an original work as far as I can tell
What’s the Loss that you’re referring to?
Is this your first day on the internet? I’m sorry brother, if you don’t know Loss, you don’t have the right to dictate what is a meme and what is not.
I meant original as in unmodified. You linked to the same comic.
Yes this is my first day on the internet.
In the interest of actually having a good faith discussion, I agree with the definition given here, for example:
If you draw a picture and call it a meme but nobody else recognizes it or wants to replicate it, it’s not a meme.
It would be interesting to discuss if you disagree with this definition.
There’s nothing to discuss, I don’t care how you want to define memes. We’re all just here to laugh at funny images and that’s it.
