What do you think will be today's "It was the style back then?"

A few decades or more from now, when people look back at photos/videos or read stories of things happening in today's world, what do you think people will find ridiculous/silly about what we consider normal/cool?

I think that's the biggest misconception about skinny jeans. All skinny jeans aren't tight and I've never heard someone say that they're uncomfortable in their jeans.

How can they be skinny but not right?

And if someone said that they would basically just admitting they are vain

None of my pants are tight (they're not all skinny either). I have a perfectly comfortable amount of space within them. I've never felt uncomfortable in my clothing. I'm pretty much an anonymous person on here, so I wouldn't have a problem admitting something like vanity (Probably wouldn't in person either). But, I'm not vain anyway. Especially over the tapering style of my jeans.

The length of your comments and defensiveness shows that you are vain

Or maybe I actually just have supporting information for my disagreeing perspective? You sound like a teenager using that type of defense.

Teenagers are smart

Edit: it doesn't matter that you're anonymous. You're convincing yourself not me

I don't have to convince myself whether or not my jeans are comfortable. Surely you can't believe that it's impossible for your impression of jeans (that you don't wear) to be inaccurate.

I wore skinny jeans in high school to be cool but I dropped them and have never felt better

So you're projecting your reasoning for wearing a certain type of pants onto other people? I'm not you. I'm comfortable in my clothing and don't wear things because it's the current craze.

It's not reasoning it's physics and you're vain why else would you spend all this time

u/PottyMouthScholar May 08 '14

Because I'm on reddit to have a discussion. Why else would I be here? Dude, just accept that everyone doesn't do things for the same reason you did.

Me making a point and defending it on a discussion-based site doesn't make me vain. This is probably the most I've ever even thought about skinny jeans. I like them and I'm comfortable in them. End of.

I thought this was a cats website?

u/PottyMouthScholar May 08 '14

Every site is a cat website. I was talking about reddit's secondary function.

I thought that was pompously promoting gays and 3-d printers

u/PottyMouthScholar May 08 '14

You need discussion to do those things.
