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

Not going to gaslight you and say no one is making those comments, I'm sure they are. That said, there are millions of people in the world who don't give a fuck about gen z fashion, or who aren't rude, and then there are millions of people who are dicks, or insecure about their own appearance or place in the world.

As a millennial I remember the manufactured controversy between boomers and millennials, and similar comments about appearance, work ethic, etc. Now that millennials are "old" some of them see new stuff coming along and feel compelled to complain. Whatever age group someone belongs to they'll complain about things they see, age related or otherwise, so I wouldn't focus too much on it.

Manufactured controversy is exactly what it is. It might have been innocuous at some point. But right now, faced with deepening social divides and class inequality as well as an urgent need to address climate change, I find myself impatient and dismayed with attempts to keep us from union and collaboration
