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."

IT WAS ME! I WAS THE TURKEY ALL ALONG!
This shit was cringe back then and I still see it as cringe today, especially the ones that never grew out of it.
I don't know if Lemmy has the equivalent of r/blunderyears but I'm calling it right now... the next 10 to 15 years are going to be peak embarrassing photo time as zoomers start turning 35 or so and they post their photos when they were late teens or early 20s.
I am so glad I became an adult before widespread use of social media. Worst we had was Livejournal. Plenty of embarrassing emo teen entries on there, but at least there aren't many pictures.
You've just described literally everyone whose fashion ever went beyond jeans and basic shirts. Hell, even some of them have embarrassing haircuts.
I wasn't like that, but got myself a scene gal back in the day (not the over the top hair kind tho), we had nothing in common lol
