Bade,

Prolly a boomer made this meme.

Faresh,

Isn’t the 2031 one a real thing already? I’m pretty sure I saw humans wearing something like that in the past.

Loulou,

Everywhere in the seventies.

Finest_Johnson,

These two were 30 years ahead of their time. From 2001: eonline.com/…/britney-spears-justin-timberlake-s-…

Awoo,

Haha women amirite?

TheFogan,

So 2 datapoints = the trend forever? I mean today I parked my car one space to the left of where I parked it yesterday. So I guess in a month it will be in the middle of the street.

Loulou,

2001??

1991???!!

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

430 bce?

sus,
Empricorn,

Damn, there really is always an XKCD for everything!

FiskFisk33,

the actual curve is a sine

Ddhuud,

They haven’t been paying attention for long enough to make such a prediction.

The waist height vs time function is approachable to a sinusoidal function with a period of about 20 years.

akilou,

This is the correct answer. It’s sinosoidal and the frequency has to stay low enough that the time between peaks and troughs will necessitate that people continuously buy jeans and can’t reuse the ones from the prior peak or trough.

PersnickityPenguin,

Right. Who else remembers when bell bottoms came back what, 18 years ago?

I noticed 90s high top jeans are back in fashion lately, lots of 20 year olds walking around looking like my mum haha, but eventually they’ll lower again, and then go up, down, up, etc, it’s just a cycle is all.

IamSparticles,

Yup. Lots of 90s fashion is in right now. My daughter is wearing flannel shirts. I told her I could have loaned her some of mine but I got rid of them all about 20 years ago.

taj,

Yeah. Most of the flannel we have left is only good for working in the barn…

Nah, this is objectively incorrect. We all know 2021 was the start of paying more for less. 2021 fashion was crop top, crop jeans, crop everything, even our crisp packets had less crisps in it. Over it all, you wore a jacket that used to be your Dad’s blazer that he used to wear for work (the super boxy one).

hare_ware,

The start?

Ah yes you didn’t like the meme so it must be sexist which demands sexism in return! Sorry they don’t make jeans in your size 😔

_I_,
@_I_@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not female. You’re still an old fat guy, discussing girl pants with a bunch of other old fat guys on the internet.

imPastaSyndrome,

Ah yes you didn’t like the response so you must be shitty in return

Lazylazycat,

I think their point is they’re out of touch. In 2023 kids are wearing baggy jeans again.

snaptastic,

How is this a meme?

stebo02,
@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

how is it not?

snaptastic,

It’s a comic.

stebo02,
@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

meme /miːm/ noun

an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.

This post is an image with text, humorous in nature and spread over the internet. Therefore it’s a meme.

Comics can be memes too, or would you like to argue that Loss is not a meme?

snaptastic,

You missed out the part about it being copied. This is an original work as far as I can tell, it would become a meme if for example it was reposted in many places with different text.

Comics can of course be memes, but I don’t think this one is. What’s the Loss that you’re referring to?

stebo02,
@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

This is an original work as far as I can tell

No it isn’t

What’s the Loss that you’re referring to?

Is this your first day on the internet? I’m sorry brother, if you don’t know Loss, you don’t have the right to dictate what is a meme and what is not.

snaptastic,

I meant original as in unmodified. You linked to the same comic.

Yes this is my first day on the internet.

In the interest of actually having a good faith discussion, I agree with the definition given here, for example:

If you draw a picture and call it a meme but nobody else recognizes it or wants to replicate it, it’s not a meme.

It would be interesting to discuss if you disagree with this definition.

stebo02,
@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

There’s nothing to discuss, I don’t care how you want to define memes. We’re all just here to laugh at funny images and that’s it.

snaptastic,

Ok but you kind of do care it seems… anyway, have a nice day.

stebo02,
@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

yea I was bothered by the fact that you were needlessly gatekeeping, if you don’t like the meme just downvote and move on, thx

snaptastic,

if you don’t know Loss, you don’t have the right to dictate what is a meme and what is not

Who’s gatekeeping?

stebo02,
@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

you, by saying this is not a meme

I’m just gatekeeping you from gatekeeping

RazorsLedge,

I think the high waisted stuff became fashionable as part of the marketing blitz to celebrate obesity. Shame, because healthy (thin) bodies in low rise jeans look fantastic.

boogetyboo,
@boogetyboo@aussie.zone avatar

I miss low rise jeans, but I’d be a tray of muffin tops these days. That being said, when I was in my teens and early 20s they may have fit me perfectly around the front with my flat stomach and narrow hips but my big kaboose (that was not in fashion back then) really struggled to stay in! Avoiding plumber’s crack was a daily struggle. They were made for a very specific body type.

Nastybutler,

I fail to see the problem there

Nastybutler,

High waisted jeans don’t do heavy people any favors, as it makes their fupa more pronounced if they have their shirt tucked in

Lev_Astov,
@Lev_Astov@lemmy.world avatar

And yet, I’m sure the pockets can’t fit a phone.

some_guy,

If a phone fits in a pocket, how will we sell women handbags?

ethd,

It’s not 2031 yet but I’d absolutely rock a jress

jasondj,

Lady, if you’ve got the same hips after 20 years, you’re either doing something really wrong, or something really right.

argv_minus_one,

Isn’t the shape of hips defined primarily by bones? 🤨

jasondj,

Fine, perhaps I should have said “waistline”.

kabobglance,

Which can change over time, especially when doing activities like bearing children

pastermil,

It’s a manequin

jasondj,

Looks like a womannequin to me.
