Oh, the 90's. That shit was weird.
Particularly the styles of clothing. I used a picture of the Spice
Girls because they were very stylish for the time and also because
Scary Spice is hot as fuck. My little sister loved that group and
while I hated their music I loved looking at a couple of them.
I decided to look at some of the styles
from back when I was a teenager and also issue a warning to society:
don't bring this shit back! There has already been a flood of fashion
from back then that has been making a comeback and it is horrifying
to see what was bad then creeping into the present. Its 2014. Where
are my metal pants?! I mean, I like some of the styles my parents wore
but I'm not gonna be wearing bell-bottoms.
Black Simpsons. This was a real thing
that existed. If you were going down Crenshaw Blvd. or at the local
Swap Meet (Slauson or Western take your pick) and you would see
bootleg shirts all over the place. You would see the Simpson's with
brown skin playing basketball, smoking weed, and even Bart with
dreads.
The shit was weird and I'd be lying if I didn't say I got
caught up in it. I wore these cheap ass shirts with pride because
everyone else had them. Yes, kids. There was a time when wearing
bootleg shirts that everyone knew were bootleg was perfectly fine.
But not, like, fake Cross Colors like that one girl wore. Jesus. Over
20 years later and I still remember her. You couldn't pull this shit today. These would be yanked off the shelf within one week by a gaggle of angry lawyers. They would be sued by Nike, The Simpsons, and maybe even N.W.A.
