I’m in my 40’s and have gradually regressed to similar clothes that I wore in the 90’s, so I also dress like a teenager from the past.
Does that make me a time traveller? 
I’m sure that if me in 1995, present day and 20 years from now met - we’d all be wearing blue jeans, Puma suede’s and a zip up hoodie.

Cotton?! 
Why would anyone wear anything that isn't made with smart rubber.
These people from the past getting soaked in any rain. This ain't living seriously... >

That shit sounds like it would melt to your skin if it ever malfunctions lol. >

Only if it lets the rain through >

This has been on my mind lately. If you look at high schooler yearbooks of the 70s you can think why do they look so old? But it’s because we associate their styles with old people. Whatever we wear today is one day going to be consider old people’s style. >

Just like we used to have “dad rock”, which is now being replaced by “dad rap”. 😭 >

And then after than “dad trap” ? >

And next comes “trap dad” >

I’m here for it >

Do old people dress the same way they did when they were young? >

Yes, and OP totally plagiarized a youtube video that demonstrates this and coined that exact phrase. >

Knew it was gonna be Vsauce. Watched that video recently. >

Except people now are all dressing from the last 6 decades, I feel like there’s much less of a single dominant fashion trend. >

Dominant fashion trends are much easier to spot a decade out from when they were popular. In the moment, it’s hard to differentiate between things that are fads and things that are just what people wear.
The things that date a style are the elements that drop out of favor after a while, and it’s very hard to tell what that’s going to be until after the fact. >

That’s fair >

That's a great point! It's funny because the trends that we think of as being timeless now, like bell bottoms or high-waisted jeans, will probably be seen as dated in a few decades! >

Who has ever considered bell bottoms as timeless ?
