About two months ago I saw a pair of ~15 year old girls wearing OG styled bell bottoms. Not some.new twist, these things were in their full original hideousness.
As a fifty one year old I keep wondering how many more times my eyes will have to endure this fashion trend.
Yeah, I was gonna say, aside from the camera quality, I would have believed this to be a recent picture. Wide, baggy clothes seems to be the current trend among many teen groups.
JNCO jeans, a chain wallet, hair spiked with gel, t-shirt that hung down to your knees, and heelies (or soap shoes depending on the date) was what I remember of late 90's/early 2000's fashion in school.
You ever take a pair of torn JNCOs and turn them into cutoff shorts? They were like knee length bell bottoms and they were awesome. You could wear your JNCOs in 90°+ weather too!
I recommend wearing underwear then. Most people actually do tend to wear underwear even when it isn't specifically only preventing a view of your testicles. A good pair of underwear can increase your comfort even when completely hidden under your clothes.
In that case I specifically recommend boxer briefs, they have the room you need to keep them healthy, but the tight legs necessary to keep them to yourself.
Which ones had the kangaroo with the boxing gloves hanging out of the pocket?
I wanted them so bad. My mom just couldn’t afford the good stuff. I’d get hand me downs from my rich cousin from time to time though.
One time my mom found us some awesome looking jeans in the right style. They were called Plugg jeans and they had a big P on the pocket. My brother and I were so excited to finally have big pipe pants and fit in. We got to school and what did the other kids say? “Huht huht! The pants even got a P for poor! Huht huht huht!”
I’ve always pronounced it, and heard it pronounced by every single person ever— “JINKO.” Like, pronouncing it exactly the way it’s written. J’n-KŌ
Were you all alive in the 90s? I mean, like, old enough to be around the age this person in the post was? Or is “JEAN-co” the modern way the kids are saying it?
Well, I was in middle school in the late 90s when these were popular, so I suppose I'm in the demographic. I dunno, the difference between "jean" and "gin" is somewhat subtle when you say it quickly, and I never gave it much thought.
I was in 10th grade in '97 but I can confirm that people called them "jinkos" However, in different accents that would be close to "jeancos," though I think anyone who called them that would have been called a poser.
They must have died out just before I became self aware and started wearing non baby clothes. I've heard the name but never seen them or anyone wearibn them.
Man that kid looks so fucking cool
I wish I had that much style at his age
Damn, money for a photoshoot and JNCO jeans in 1998?
This kid must've held all the hands.
I dunno, man. I'd say they're still cool.
Bell bottoms happen every 30 years. It is known.

It's like When can I reuse this calendar, but for clothes.
Oh man that's fuckin weird
Because in 1912 and 1940 a bunch of people joined the navy for the wars and also put on bell bottoms...
It is known.
Guess you're not ready for that mom, but the Fediverse is gonna love it
My son is 15 and loves these jeans so they must be timeless.
These and bell bottoms are making a comeback and I’m too dad-bodied to fit in mine 😭
Pour one out for my KikWear
2nd pose says it all
That's some professional modeling work right there.
We had to put duct tape on the bottom after having them for a while, because they’d get all torn up getting caught on skateboard trucks.
Badass. Just keep a cycle of slim and relaxed fit pictures and you'll never be out of style.
Looking at what young people wear now (at last in Poland) those pants are coming back.
i'm not even young people, and i have been fully rocking super wide-leg jeans this last year. i love them all over again!
Yeah, I was gonna say, aside from the camera quality, I would have believed this to be a recent picture. Wide, baggy clothes seems to be the current trend among many teen groups.
Coming back? It's all kids wear, the looser the better.
Back in my day we wore phat pants
Pretty Hot And Tempting
slaps pants
I can fit so much ecstacy in these bad boys.
Mom: You look so stupid!
Also mom when she was younger:
Mom's looking tight.
Come on, dude…

Heelys are timeless. I'm my 30s and I use them to grocery shop faster.
You are a genius!
Wow, soap shoes. I heard so much tell of them in 2005 but I'm still to see them in the flesh.
The dream is still available!: https://jnco.com/
Not too bad tbh, but this one is wild... https://jnco.com/collections/mens/products/crime-scene-50-dark-stone
I can't believe I gave in to wearing these. I didn't even like them, I just didn't want to be the only one in my friend group wearing normal jeans.
I loved having "elephant feet" but I only had one pair of pants that i would cycle in so it was always fun.
Sometimes, parents resent their kids for having what they wanted for themselves. In this case, the spirit to say “I am awesome.”

To be fair, JNCO made shorts too
I think if you go with their method your nether region would be exposed while sitting down, causing "hanging brain".
Dunno the female equivalent, maybe "slippin the flaps"?
I recommend wearing underwear then. Most people actually do tend to wear underwear even when it isn't specifically only preventing a view of your testicles. A good pair of underwear can increase your comfort even when completely hidden under your clothes.
Even the best boxers can slip a nut out. As you get older those things get floppy.
In that case I specifically recommend boxer briefs, they have the room you need to keep them healthy, but the tight legs necessary to keep them to yourself.
Lip slip?
Perfect.
I never wore JNCOs, but I still wear carpenter-style jeans, and I will do so until I die.
This belongs on the antique meme roadshow sub
Motherfucker needs a matching pair of Airwalk Carrots...
An entire wall of mine was dedicated to their ads from skating and rock magazines
They still make UFOs too

Kids are vicious, man.
Is that Nike Airs & maybe a Casio watch... NICE!
I've never known how to pronounce "JNCO". Is it an acronym or an initialism?
J-N-C-O? Joonko? Janko? Jinso?
I always heard it pronounced as "Jean Co."
…WHAT.
I’ve always pronounced it, and heard it pronounced by every single person ever— “JINKO.” Like, pronouncing it exactly the way it’s written. J’n-KŌ

Yeah you are more correct to how the average 7th grader said it in 1997.
I was in 10th grade in '97 but I can confirm that people called them "jinkos" However, in different accents that would be close to "jeancos," though I think anyone who called them that would have been called a poser.
Jean-co
In New England we said gin-ko. Never saw an ad for them though, so have no idea if we were right!
Is that G as in gif or gif?
I see what you did there, and I love it. That said, I also grew up in New England... and everyone I knew pronounced it jin-ko.
Splendiferous!

She is dumbass...
