Early 90s fashion trends making a comeback! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

PZelda · 01-28-2009, 03:43 AM

Surely I can't be the only one who has noticed this lately. Thankfully, I am way past my teens now, so there is no way in hell I'm going to be caught dead donning some of THESE revivals. I donned them the first time they were around in the early 90s; that was plenty ENOUGH.

Okay, so I own one paint-splattered item, but it's just a coffee mug (this one, and the paint splatters are just on that side) and doesn't look as cheesy as the paint-splattered revivals I'm seeing in stores lately.

Here are some pics I took...

Paint-splattered shoes at Target!

A zoomed-out view of what the females' side of Hot Topic looks like. Neon galore.

Some of the ridiculously hideous shoes they're selling. These are FEMALES' shoes...

Okay, I wore high top shoes like these (not THAT hideously ugly, although I remember mine having neon accents) almost 20 years ago, and now they're back?!! And uglier than ever? Oh boy...

My own MOTHER wore sunglasses in that exact same shape in the late 80's. WHY ARE THESE BACK IN STYLE. *cries*

Oh boy... Next thing you know, acid-wash denim will be back, as well as the age of plaid (aka grunge!). The fashions of the entire 90s SUCKED. I never dreamed they'd freaking REVIVE it. Ew...

That's less about the early 1990s and more about hipsters/scenesters adopting the late 1980s hip-hop candy kid look.

Ah Hot Topic, where the sheeple go.

I remember some of those fashions! I even owned a pair of neon high-top sneakers too.

It's not just Hot Topic. I'm seeing it creep up in other stores. Bet you'd see something similar if you shopped in the juniors section at any department store. They're definitely there in big-box stores now too. I just happened to take more pics at Hot Topic yesterday.

The mens' section at Target now is... interesting. Heh.

Some fads should just stay in the past.

Those shoes are ugly.

Ahhhh. My child hood! I wore the ugliest things as a kid in the 90's. Please don't let them come back.

MickeyMac · 01-28-2009, 07:07 PM

90's fashion are coming back already.

When I was a kid there was a 60's revival of sorts(largely due to that flick The Big Chill). When I got out of high school, there was a 70's revival. At the beginning of this decade the 80's revival started, and now we are entering a re interest in the 90's!!!

I'm getting old

PZelda · 01-28-2009, 07:44 PM

Actually, the 70s revival started sometime around 1997 and hasn't really died out yet. It's just been in the last 5 years that there's been a serious 80s revival.

I want to say that a lot of trends today are like...if the 70's and 80's had a baby.

That's a good way to put it.

I owned all sorts of neon.

So did I. I cringe looking at my elementary school-era pictures.

Last night I was at a mall and walked by some, idk, young people's store of some sort, and they had a mini jean skirt with paint splashed on the butt. It was so wrong in soooooo many ways. And very 80s now that you mention it. All someone would need is some LA Gear, neon, and a hair crimper.
