Can grunge be stylish again? At least it was comfortable.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just be a lesbian, you can grunge all you like and it never goes out of style.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, but I just like cock too much.

The whole athleisure thing of the last 10-15 years has been great for dressing comfortably everywhere.

Grunge was never stylish. That was the point.

I just want Jnco’s that aren’t $300.

[–] SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Is that really what they cost now? When I was a teenager I was astonished that they cost...I want to say $60-$80. That was so expensive to me then. So I never owned a pair despite wanting to for years.

I had the luck to get a pair of 32” jncos in ‘97 I think, maybe ‘98, and I remember them costing over $100. The bigger you went the more expensive of course.

But yea, they still make them. Just checked their website and it looks like prices have come down. Last I checked, about a year and a half ago, they were starting at around $300, but I’m seeing them in the $130 range with the 32” starting at $180 and the 50” going to $260. This is great, I might buy a pair later this year.

I suddenly don't hate my frugal ass self for spending 100$ on a custom piece of 100% hemp clothing for the first time last week. No way could I ever see myself spending > 200$ on a single pair of jeans

[–] SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah I think I remember the $100+ ones too. Might have been some on sale on occasion for less but I definitely envied everyone else who got them!

When you were a teenager the dollar was most likely worth a lot more. 60-80$ 20 years ago is 300$ in todays money

[–] SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, maybe a good point
