They want to be ridebut millennials have one ok to choose.
Of course, Y2K fashion had its ups and downs, like jeans and cowgirl dresses.
However, no style trend went as low as the phenomenon of ultra-low rise jeans, a “peek-a-boo” pant popularized by 2000s “It” girls like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Christina Aguilera .
However, now that tiny, mini skirts have recently reemerged as a fashionable “do” thanks to nostalgia-obsessed Gen Zs, millennials — the thirty- and fortysomethings who lived through the original low-rise craze — are saying the kids. denim just don’t make cuts.
“Today’s high is not the true low of millennial time,” declared Yasmeen Scott, 33, a TikTok content creator, in a viral video.
Educating her 300,000+ viewers on the perilous ways of the denim look-at-me, London-based Scott shared a series of throwback photos of herself with the tiny balls.
“Look how short. This is my bone,” she said, pointing to the amount of “real” low-rise jeans with exposed flesh, which often boasted a one-inch zipper and offered glimpses of girls’ dresses, once exposed.
“That’s how low we wore our jeans.”
But not everyone of the era liked how low the look could go.
Anna Kendrick, 39, recently referred to fashion as the “dark age of low rise jeans” and pleaded with younger generations to “never look back”, saying it was “a hateful time and we don’t need to there we go again.”
The disdain for bare skirts can be traced back to the “thin worship” movement of the late 1990s and early 1990s, when fashion celebrated extremely thin bodies – on which low-rise jeans were believed to look best .
But now, thanks to the current societal movement toward body positivity, Gen Z tastemakers have modernized the low-cut look to include a little more coverage and a whole lot more retro excitement.
And while most millennials can appreciate Zoomer’s tweaks, many seem more than happy to tell the know-it-all tweens and twenty-somethings that they’re doing it all wrong.
“Kids today don’t know how low rise looks in ‘proper’ underwear,” one commenter wrote under Scott’s post.
“If you’re not afraid to sneeze, they’re not low for a millennial,” said another.
Victoria Blafferty, a millennial content creator, singled out Gen Z for failing to slay the true low-rise jean style.
“I keep seeing younger generations talking about ‘We’re bringing back low-rise jeans,'” says the voiceover on Blafferty’s trending snippet, which garnered over 3 million hits.
The brunette shared old high school photos of herself and friends in barely there skirts.
“And then the jeans they’re wearing are the longest jeans you’ve ever seen in your life,” the audio continued.
“If you don’t have to think about shaving before you put on jeans, if you have to take off your jeans to shave — they’re not low-rise jeans.”
