The 3 on the left look like the same person, just in different poses
we are a tribal species and want to "fit in" with our peers
Or….short pants and no socks is a successful piece of clothing for warmer weather.
i have a lot of short pants and no-sock suitable shoes, and exactly none of them are one of the 3 colors represented in this picture of kids who clearly made their clothing decisions based on "what's everyone else doing?"
Srsly I’ve seen dudes walk up to the first sale rack in Walmart and grab something. Looks like a group of them just did that. They are probably all gathered talking about how cheap their pants were in that picture.
Ooof…I can smell the sweat and cig stained leather from here.
i was born late in the decade but am willing to bet that's just what the 70s smelled like
They look stupid. And contagious.
Yes, I know who this is (and isn't).
Here we are now, your tried to entertain us.
While in the european metric it would be: dress for the 40's
What band is this?
Alice in Chains
Thanks!
I’m the maaaaaan in the box
What? The 90s are equivalent to hot years? Or wasn't there any winter fashion for the 90s? I don't understand I don't get it me dumb
fahrenheit temperatures in the 90s are hot temperatures
Thought so
That was typical-ish summer wear.
For winter, it was closer to this
Sure but that doesn't explain the joke to me
"Dress for the 90s" as in temperature. 90F I guess. Because dressing for 90C would be like.. Spacesuits.
Omg it's a pun... I get it now. I'm not used to fahrenheit temps
Instead of going by boiling water, we go by 0=cold AF outside and 100=hot AF outside
(This is a joke and I'm not saying its superior to celsius)
That is the genuine argument I see people use to defend farehnheit so this checks out.
oops
Be careful too much radical.
Celsius is so old fashioned.
The third guy looks cold, someone should give him some heroin to warm up.
He should ask the guy on the left. I hear he does it a lot.
