Welcome to the club. I remember going to oldies night at a skating rink. I heard music from high school (80's) and thought, "These aren't oldies. These are from - OOOHHHH"😳😅

[@PinkAgaricus]

I know what "oldies" are because those stations that played that music actually did. I think the furthest back I heard was 1940's music (during a block that played really old stuff). I think this shows how young the rink's DJ is if their idea of oldies, but goodies is music from the 80's. Oldies are music acts like The Ink Spots or The Platters.

[@storageheater]

@@MacabreIngenue2 because as a young person you get told two things: young people will save the world but they must always be correct and beautiful, and old people are universally the problem. so you have the anxiety of not living up to the expectation, and the increasing horror as you reach Old. then you pass it, and it turns out all of that was a lie and, after the obligatory crisis, now you can just be yourself. this is also why it's so important that young people and old people actually talk to each other, but it's SO much easier to be scared and divided. oh well, guess we're gonna have to keep finding out for ourselves!

At least you showcased some stuff that was sort of costume-y. Like the Shania outfit. The last time I saw someone complain about this, the "costumes" looked more like regular, boring clothes and I didn't understand why anyone would wear them as a costume. Like, for the 50s the poodle skirts and saddle shoes are fun and distinctive. You can understand why they'd be a costume. But people wore tons of other things that aren't quite so interesting. And it was like they had the '90s version of "other stuff" instead fun , distinctive, and unique stuff.

[@Deebnoff]

That was exactly what I was thinking about in middle school when we were having our decades dances. So easy to dress up to all the decades (skipped 30s and 40s though) I was like, in the future what will people do for the 90s. It's so boring. Just normal shirts, normal jeans, boring hair, sneakers... nothing distinctive or fun. The popular trendy kids looking like a bunch of clones. 😒 I dressed with touches of 70's and 80's in my own styling most of the time throughout middle and high school because the "trendy" outfits bored me to death 😂

[@jenniferhanses]

@@Deebnoff I would have guessed jeans and flannel. Flannel was distinctive to the fashions of the time, and comes in bright fun colors. I also had some colorful waffle weave shirts. Waffle weave is pretty distinctive to the '90s. And I agree with the wind breakers, though those read more '80s to me. But probably they were '90s and its my memory that's wrong. But most of the rest of it? Jeans and T-shirts. It's been pretty bland and normal for decades now.
