TylerTheCreator 31 Posted January 2 Drunken/k-holed convo at the kick ons and half of us remember this and the other half looked at us blankly. Around 2010 I remember we all wore our skinny jeans stupidly low to show off our Calvin Klein pants. I remember walking up steps, especially the steep bus ones, was a huge struggle, and we had to do a kind of legs wide out walk, but we all do it anyway because it was considered the height of coolness (pun intended). Haven't seen this for years but it was definitely a thing around 10-15 years ago beyond just at my university. Or were we just dumber than most and it really is somehow a Mandela effect?

TQR 12,196 Posted January 2 Frankly, I stuck out like a sore thumb because I didn't bowl about with my jeans 3/4 of the way down my arse. That's Essex for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TylerTheCreator 31 Posted January 2 Yeah. I don't really remember anyone my age who didn't do it. For a few years it seemed like British dudes just decided hey, let's wear our jeans under our arse. Was it like a type of mass hysteria like the old dancing plagues or the meowing nuns? I guess I just did it because everyone else was doing it. So yes, in a way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfiona 2,042 Posted January 2 Based on Youtubers I watched around that time it sounds like something they were wearing, especially Dan and Phil. Was it an emo look? Dan and Phil 2010. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clorox Bleachman 2,022 Posted January 2 This sort of thing? I had to go onto a fetish blog to find these pictures. I hope you're proud of yourself. The Frankie Cocozza picture is something to behold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 2 That was definitely a thing in middle school (circa 2013/2014 for me) and frankly the less I remember it the better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 14,847 Posted January 2 It was definitely a thing. The rest of the population averted their eyes in bemusement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,023 Posted January 3 I associate this look a lot with the kind of "indie rappers with a vague EDM sensibility" movement of like 2008. Often paired with a kaffiyeh and pharmacy-store sunglasses Here's a good example on the right from Cool Kids: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
