As an elder Millennial, I'm left wondering WTF I missed in 2006?!? All the girls in high school were wearing Doc Martins, turtle necks, and low-cut jeans while sporting streaky highlights in their hair, and all of the girls in college were wearing Uggs and puffy coats with faux-fur hoods. There was none of... Whatever this is.
This is the “scene kid” aesthetic that was popular in the mid aughts. They barely made the millennial cutoff as far as I’m concerned and they’re not very representative of our generation as a whole.
Where I live the goth kids, baggy pants, wife beater looks are completely back, just how it was when I lived in California 20 years ago. I live in Central Europe now and it has given me some serious flashbacks. Hell, I feel 18 again. The only thing missing is Avril Lavigne blasting from the radio non-stop.
I was in Berlin last year and got some serious whiplash at the styles. Goth-y baggy pants, tanks, cutoff shirts… Being Berlin, I thought “wow everywhere else will be like these kids a couple years.”
Certainly depends on the individual girl, but this style wasn’t called “emo” for nothing. You could have some deep talks with emos.
Obviously, they’re not going to open up to everyone, though, and many of them gladly played a bitch to sieve out all the people not worth opening up to. Seems like you got sieved out…
Well, what I do find hard to understand about youth's aesthetics for the last decade or so is that it's so samey. There is just no one really sticking out. All the subcultures (be it punks, metalheads, hip hop, emo, what have you) have all but vanished, giving way to... Well... Nothing really. It's not that "the youths are bad and weird" no. It's that the youth is not weirdenough for my liking.
OMG so this! I was rocking out to some old NIN in the car and my 10 year old tells me to "turn it down please." He also prefers button shirts. Did we somehow raise a bunch of straightedge squares? Is it now cool to not be cool?
Nobody else is thinking of it as “PC gaming on a console”
They’re thinking in terms of “A console which is a PC”
In other words, their heads are in console mode rather than in PC gaming mode. They aren’t thinking of an effective mouse option to play paradox games and the like.
Maybe unpopular but I kinda like the design and the aluminium looking bottom line… but it’s still dumb and not repairable like this. Also, we just want the old one with a better screen.
I love this shit. They’re always so wrong but such fun designs. I wish I could find pictures of the old PS3 and Xbox 720 concepts that people were paying back in the day.
