[@alwaysarcastic]

The girlfriend could have been more considerate. It's Happy Hour not a job interview. She could have told her coworkers about the experiment and went with him.

[@crystalm.223]

True

[@nachauwu]

+alwaysarcastic True, that was very mean....

[@jpjavip]

We don't know what her job is, for all we know it was something important or someone important would be there, ya know?

[@cristinaclare6082]

+jpjavip true, but she didn't have to be rude about it. They showed us the text he sent her and it was a tad harsh

[@n.e.r.d3730]

true, that was a bit harsh

[@NeverShoutJocyy]

Are we all gonna ignore the fact that his girlfriend was basically embarrassed to be seen with her boyfriend because he was wearing Jnco jeans? He looked bomb.

[@ChadDidNothingWrong]

Don't ever change!!!

[@0therun1t21]

They actually do look good on him! To me, I think if something looks good on a person then it never goes out of style. (I don't follow styles or trends but I love to look at fashion magazines). If you want, any silhouette can be updated or reconnoitered, so if you love it keep it!

[@0therun1t21]

My boyfriend hated a pair of my pants so much he threw them out the window of our moving car while I wasn't looking, then pretended he had no clue about it. Fortunately they were cheap and I only got them to lounge in, so I thought it was funny. He never did anything like that before or again so I gave him a pass and went along with his clulessness.That could have been really bad though.

[@thebunface]

For real.

[@gatsu.]

Fr

[@gabriellerobinson2020]

I feel like I'm the only one who thinks he looked kinda cool in them especially when he looked all out 90's

[@woodpaper5138]

Gabrielle Robinson yeah with that flannel too

[@worp1687]

Stfu

[@curtisc2581]

Jncos must be in movies that are set in the 90s. We need a That 90s Show. The 80s show sucked.

[@gggumball]

Im in love with the 90s look, these look insane cool

[@J.D.Vision]

This was my all time favorite pants to wear. I really hope something similar becomes a trend again.

[@CrazyPufferfish]

7 years ago they would never have guessed how cool baggy jeans are now.

[@kswag]

so this is what Eminem was wearing when he had a laptop in his back pocket

[@mangodaya]

lol

[@anttoniotsamo4131]

[@kotarslegacy8431]

Joe__ fr

[@wulver810]

He looks like I would have hung out with him in high school.

[@eev14]

I have an ex-boyfriend that wears nothing BUT these pants, usually black but still... His pants were HUGE, he used them for shoplifting sometimes.. Can't blame him, you can steal anything with those pockets. He was a scrawny guy, face covered in piercings, always dressed in black and wearing a beanie. And then there was me: chubby blonde girl in cute girly dresses. We were a strange couple.

[@CementCakeisboss101]

Lol

[@malcolmbamba1715]

lolll

[@america8780]

That's a fanfic right there if I've ever read one

+Peter Sinesi *but for me to rap like a computer must be in my genes* (jeans) *i got a laptop in my back pocket* eminem is the god of wordplay. never mind me, just a weird eminem fan here

[@preferablyundead]

"I just really didn't care what anyone else thought anymore." This is precisely the perspective you have to develop any time to wish to dress in any form of alternative fashion... I typically dress as if it were 1984 and I was attending a Siouxsie and the Banshees concert. But it IS indeed liberating to dress as you please and not to give a damn what others think. Besides, a single compliment outweighs ten rude remarks

[@hecate1k]

on god

[@MeoskyyMckay]

I still wear baggy pants and jeans at times. Hard to find jeans that jinco or alike where in from.

[@TyrBarghest]

I feel like he needs a new girlfriend.

[@lilbihxxx1234]

he does..

[@howiesgarden6725]

Yeah, I hope she's now a stripper, regretting her JNCO hatred.

[@pandaex8610]

dude, if your girlfriend disinvites you because of your jinco jeans then she shouldn't be your girlfriend

[@RejectedManiac]

[@tiffanytomlinson1917]

[@cowe9855]

prolly just wanted to get drunk and flirt with other guys xd

[@kitty3596]

I wonder if he ever considered lifting up his pants a little bit to use the escalator.

[@pavlosnoitsis]

Maybe rolling them too?😂

[@denisejohnson4037]

perhaps rolling them up to avoid the puddles

[@mohamedashian604]

Kitty that’s what I was just thinking

[@cxssetteman182]

That's how we rolled back in the days. Everyone jumped as soon as they reached the top of the escalator.

[@jburnett7071]

You had to lift and hop on and off escalators 😂 and the bottoms were always gross 😆 and shredded. But they were 👏🏽 awesome

[@jackhume1525]

I literally wouldn't have noticed anything out of the ordinary if I saw him in real life in those pants.

[@xodius80]

the pants showed our girlfriends true colors, saved you a divorce.

[@Thraxxed]

Trust me, Kids in my school wear and sag on the most skinniest jeans in the whole entire world. Like just get baggy jeans -_- smh.

[@vibinwithjaneyy3824]

Its 2024 and this Video popped up on my home page, it's crazy to see how much style has evolved over the years and now people (me including) mostly wear baggy jeans and clothes from the 90's.

[@je0nluv694]

Literally, you can see the difference between 2014 and 2024 when it comes to jeans

[@giselalopez7714]

He should have run to a group of people yelling-"what year is it?" and run away screaming -"it worked! i Made It" That would be a fun video!

I just love his mustache

[@heyheyhalaylay]

i was going through these comments wondering why everyone was saying it needs to be normalized (at the time it should have been!!) because now that it’s 2021 it’s a huge trend. then i saw one comment that said 5 years ago. i checked the date of the rest, 5 years ago. i checked the date of the video, five years ago. i think it’s so cool how far we’ve come in normalizing things like this, if i had seen these pants out in the street, even five years ago, i would have wanted them badly and i still do. there are so many things we still need to fix, but i’m glad to know that we’re making progress!

[@bethanydavis9023]

Girl pants need pockets that actually function. This would be a major trend if it were in the women's section and with different sizes.

[@heyheyhalaylay]

@@bethanydavis9023 i don’t mean JNCO jeans, because yes these are still way too large for me to wear. but i mean large baggy pants in general, it’s not so out of the ordinary anymore!!

[@bethanydavis9023]

@@heyheyhalaylay the reason why there lots of people that don't like to wear really baggy pants that much is that they can really get on the way, but other than that they look great.

[@heyheyhalaylay]

@@bethanydavis9023 yes i agree if your older, and maybe a millennial!! but nowadays it’s very hard to catch a teen in skinny or fitting jeans lol

[@bethanydavis9023]

@@heyheyhalaylay that's popular because of a q form fitting "sexy" look, doesn't help that most girl jeans are form fitting. If they put the actual pocket jeans near them in the girl section, the fashion will quickly boom again, even with them being baggy.

[@Artbug]

The melodrama in this video is overpowering...

[@cashcash3oh3]

It's crazy how these are coming back into style. I never wore these myself as I was born in the late 90's but I vividly remember my brother rocking these. It's kinda cool though cause those pockets are awesome and it's something that's totally out of most peoples comfort zones.

[@idaraudoh2261]

Not this being what everyone wears now...

[@jen6224]

i actually really like his outfits throughout the whole week especially the one w the black sweater and pink hat
