Why do Millennials hate Gen Z fashion so much?

Every time I see millennials exposed to zoomer fashion they instantly start seething. it's always some 20 year old celebrity who goes outside wearing baggy clothes with a graphic tee and millennials online start screeching shit like

NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T WEAR ANYTHING INTERESTING YOU HAVE TO WEAR HYPERMINIMALISTIC SLOP AT ALL TIMES OR YOURE UGLY AND WEIRD

Why are you people like this

The fuck are you on about?

Gen z are the millennial's kids. The older millennials are hitting their forties now. Not all gen z are the kids of millennials, some are gen-x kids too.

I've never seen any kind of outrage over comfortable clothes by millennials on any big scale. Or gen-x. Hell, not even all of the baby boomers do, unless it's at work.

If you're seeing it irl, then it's likely just parents parenting, which is a different thing entirely. Online? You gotta at least grab some screen shots of handful of examples before this is even believable as a generation level thing. Better, provide links to it, since screen shots can be faked easily by anyone older than about 12.

If you are seeing it, is it on a specific media outlet? You'll find that some are more prone to stupidity like bitching about other people's clothing than other forms of media.

Tbh though, how the fuck can you even tell what generation the people complaining are? Do they give their age? Seems pretty damn weird unless it's YouTube, but most of those are memes to begin with. "I'm 70 years old and I love/hate this" type of bullshit.

I think you're full of malarkey tbh, but if you aren't,I would actually be interested in seeing where this is because millennials have rocked comfy clothes in public for well over a decade. It would be very funny if that's changing as they age.

I’m GenZ and I hate “GenZ Fashion”

What fashion?

I dunno, I'm older than that and it's really nice to see folk dressing like it's the 80s again

I didn't know they hate our aesthetics, and I can't speak for why, but hopefully they know it's based on their own, so they only have themselves to blame.

You can dress how you want. If you see a millennial reaction weirdly to what you are wearing, its likely them cringing at a memory of when they wore something similar as a kid. Cyclical fashion trends and all that. With that said, our culture does have a huge issue with fast fashion, and I'd encourage simpler higher quality clothes that wont cycle with trends as often, for the sake of not destroying the planet.

We're not. I like you guys. Most of your fashion is what I wore when I was a teenager, but with more colours anyway

I enjoy seeing the evolution of our fashion all in one friend group- high waisted jeans from the 90’s to the jinco jeans of the early 2000’s. It’s fascinating.

What doesn’t suck about gen z? It’s just that the later born the more microplastics and the greater suckery from fucked up grey matter

About the only thing I don't like are the nose rings like cattle and pigs. I simply think "rooting problems" every time I see that. It's a stupid annoying animal behavior, so identifying yourself with that makes no sense to me.

The area you live in has a lot to do with clothing fashion. In Tennessee Alabama and Georgia, in the late 90's and early 00's baggy clothes were popular. After moving to California, it was all women's skinny jeans for both sexes.

I prefer people that are unique and blaze their own trail.

We don't? Although I do find myself quietly snickering at how the awful crap I wore as a teen is coming back, but I'm not hating on it at all. I'm a bit jealous sometimes, though.

Davidchan ,

The only thing really different about gen z fashion I've noticed is barely anyone wears jeans.

Sorry your older brother is mean.

I have never seen anyone express that sentiment except as a joke. But also, it's a time honoured tradition to hate everything the generation after yours does.
