lol, kids these days and their stupid tastes, amirite?
What blows my mind is when stupid shit like this comes back into vogue. I lived through so much cringe the first time, and I loathe doing it all over again.
Not that I’m the height of fashion or anything, myself. If not for my wife, I’d be wearing long white tube socks with my shorts.
Saw a 20-something at the local pub a couple years ago with the full on rat tail, stubbies, dark green tshirt and boonie 'stache and flashed back 40 years so fast i got whiplash
I’m the opposite, I say bring on the stupid shit and do it often! Life’s short and looking kinda silly on purpose sometimes is fun. My most recent foray into such was a mustache large enough to be mocked by my daughter’s soccer teammates, first practice, basically on sight hahaha. Causing her to cry (and me to shave it, lol, but it was fun while it lasted, and I don’t intend to further traumatize her with sartorial silliness).
I’d work on letting her know that friends who bully you because your dad has ridiculous hair aren’t friends, they’re cunts you shouldn’t be listening to
Maybe I’m just too high, but I’m a bit annoyed that her soccer teammates are such mean girls. Like, I know teenage girls are stupid mean, but that’s gotta be pretty tough for her to have such judgemental “friends”.
It all worked out, but I appreciate your defensiveness! It was a mixed group, 'twas the lads cracking jokes, and not even to her - she’s a sensitive one (which I love). The funniest part is the coach wore a silly (admittedly less silly) mustache the whole season, his son was one of the goobers cracking jokes, and everyone actually really got along great over the season.
On the other hand, the kinda stuff you’re describing does happen, and my kiddo has already had to extract herself from a friend group that was heading solidly in that direction. No bueno! Bad parenting by crappy people usually, in my experience.
I’d be wearing long white tube socks with my shorts.
This is actually a trend now. Gen Z is about it, and judges the old heads for ankle sock
Whatever will they all think when I avoid both trends and wear no socks at all?
Probably that my feet stink, I guess.
Flip flop gang! I wear actual shoes maybe 10% of days
“No show” socks have been a thing for quite some time, so…?

I remember thinking “these fucking mulletted hicks” when we moved to missouri and I was a little kid, like 6… but had never seen a full on mullet IRL, then was suddenly surrounded by them all ages and not just the boys either.
