Don’t Fall for the Skinny Jeans Side Part Drama
Millennials and Gen Z are on the same side
You’ve probably heard the news. Millennials’ skinny jeans and side parts and love of the cry-laugh emoji are out.
Not only out, they’re old.
If you have a side part and skinny jeans, you probably also have a grandchild, memories of ’90s Taco Bell interiors, and maybe a 401(k).
So say the Gen Z teens on TikTok, provoking a rash of memes and tweets from their millennial counterparts responding “This means war!” and back-and-forth mockery of styles, hobbies, and whatever else we can get our hands on.
Pump the brakes.
I think, first of all, we all need to acknowledge that jeans suck.
And on a serious note, I want to remind you that millennials and Gen Z are on the same side.
Discourse about our aesthetics only serves to distract us and create a rift between our generations. We cannot afford that rift.
We need to stick together, because the revolution does not care about your style or your side part.
Combining numbers, millennials and Gen Z outnumber Baby Boomers. (Actually, we outnumber Gen X + Baby Boomers + older generations all put together).
