Millennials mock Gen Z over fashion trend

Millennials are unhappy about a particular fashion trend being picked up by Gen Z — claiming they are doing it all wrong.

Millennials are unhappy about a particular fashion trend being picked up by Gen Z — and claim the younger generation aren’t even wearing them correctly.

Low rise jeans were popularised by 2000s “It” girls such as Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Christina Aguilera.

Now the trend has resurfaced thanks to nostalgia-obsessed Gen Zs and Millennials who lived through the original low-rise craze aren’t impressed, New York Post reported.

“The low-rise of today is not the real low-rise of millennial time,” declared Yasmeen Scott, 33, a TikTok content creator, in a viral video.

Schooling her over 300,000 viewers in the ways of the jeans, Ms Scott, from London, shared a series of throwback photos featuring herself in the trousers.

“Look how short. That’s my bone,” she said, pointing at the amount of exposed flesh “true” low-rise jeans once showcased.

“That’s how low we were wearing our jeans.”

But not everyone of the era loved how low the look could go.

Anna Kendrick, 39, recently referred to the fad as “the dark age of low-rise jeans”. She begged younger generations to “never look back”. She said it was “a hateful time, and we don’t need to go there again”.

Hatred for the jeans is traced back to a time where extremely thin bodies were celebrated as the ideal. However, the body positive movement has seen Gen Z modernise the low-rise look to include a little more coverage and a lot more retro edginess.

Most Millennials can appreciate the Zoomer modifications but many seem more than happy to tell the teen and twenty-something know-it-alls that they’re doing it all wrong.

“Kids today don’t know how low rise looks from the back with the ‘right’ underwear,” penned a commenter beneath Ms Scott’s post.

“If you aren’t afraid to sneeze, they aren’t millennial low rise,” another chimed.

The brunette shared old high school snapshots of herself and friends in the barely-there bottoms.

“And then, the jeans that they’re wearing are the most retailer-length jeans you’ve ever seen in your life,” continued the audio.

“If you don’t have to consider shaving before putting your jeans on, if you have to take your jeans off to shave — those are not low-rise jeans.”
