Hello everyone,

As everyone already probably knows the 2010s (thus far) has been all about 90s nostalgia. Now I do agree that there is a lot of nostalgia for T.V. shows/movies, music, etc. However, a lot of people believe that fashion nowadays is "90s influenced". While I might have been too young to truly experience the 90s firsthand, based on what I've seen on movies/T.V. shows, as well as pictures from the decade, I honestly do not see how 2010s fashion is even remotely similar to 90s fashion. Sure there are some small things like high-waist jeans for women, and the revival of the high top fade. Other than that, clothing has been extremely hipster influenced.

Here are some examples (I'm mostly sticking to the "core" eras for each decade):

Fashion in the 90s was a lot looser, more laid back, and more individualistic (if I showed examples of all angles of 90s fashion, this post would be too big). The designs on the clothing were easier on the eyes as well. Fashion in the 2010s is a lot tighter, more uniformed, more artsy/quirky on some aspects (first two images), or overly polished in others (last image). While I do agree that 90s nostalgia is strong in many aspects right now, fashion is not one of them. What do you guys think?

Actually, I have seen it being compared that they are similar, but you're right. They're not. Honestly, most of the fashion from the 90s itself didn't make a comeback as people thought it would be. Even the fashion from the end of the decade is not the same as today.

Hipsters are basically taking over the fashion industry. That's all I have to say.

It has been compared, but in no way is it similar, and didn't make a comeback at all.

The real problem is we haven't moved away from the '90s enough in the first place, I mean people are STILL sagging their pants and wearing backwards baseball caps. We still have the same static music genres that we had 20 years ago(rap, dance, alternative/indie, ect), whereas by 1996 rave, hip-hop, and alternative rock were prominent modern genres that didn't even exist in 1976.

Back in the '90s I remember looking at photos of my parents yearbooks from the '70s and it looked like ancient history, I don't get that sense at all when I think about 1995 or 1996, it still looks kind of "modern". It's like things don't even get dated anymore because there's so much focus on retro crap, cultural time feels like it's flatlined since the late '90s. Hopefully this period of same old same old will be coming to an end.

I don't either honestly. Although in the last picture they did capture the 90s a little. I too have thought about this, and have found myself thinking "What are the similarities?" "Where?". Aw but they still look super cute in the last picture!

They're nothing alike. Both 2010s and 1990s fashions look ridiculous, but they don't look the same. Although due to being sick of all this nostalgia I'm happy the 2010s has its own set of fashion trends (whether I like them or not). 

I just went on a shopping spree last week and bought lots of new clothes to make me feel more like I'm from the late 90s and embrace the girl power craze of the time. My knit tops and light, simple colors can give 2010s a run for their money any day! :P

Now, if only I got some yoga or sweat pants...

I know what you mean. The '90s look old, but they merely look really dated. It's not like 1976 in 1996 or 1986 in 2006 where if you looked at videos and pictures from then, every little outfit would stand out in the present. When one looks at videos and pictures from 1996 in the present, the large amount of dated outfits stands out, but it's not as if every single outfit would look laughably out of place today.

The funny thing is, when it comes to other types of pop culture, a lot of people feel the same way when comparing 2006 to 1996 or 2016. You could call 1996 ancient by 2006, but when comparing 2016 to 2006 it seems more recent or modern. Heck, a lot of people say that the era that we're today hasn't changed much since 2008 or 2009 when Barack Obama was elected and inaugurated (although that could finally change after this year). However, when it was 2008 or 2009, most people agreed that 2000 & 2001 were already very dated without a question.

The 90s seem like another universe to me. 2016 is a world where compared to the 90s everything seems upside down.

The difference is that 1996 is 20 years old, while 2006 is only 10 years old, therefore, there are more changes in the 20 year period than there are in the 10 year period. That's because 20 years is a longer time than 10 years.

But even then, he's saying that 1996 was pretty old by 2006. Although, it might had to deal with 90s kids who grew up in the decade. Much like of how I find 2006 to be pretty dated, since there were a lot of differences that happened technologically, pop culturally, politically, and personally to me.

Uh duh... seriously you gotta be kidding me. You misread my comment. I said that AT THE TIME 2006 was happening 1996 already felt very old and extremely outdated, and I compared it to how currently in 2016 the year 2006 only feels a little bit dated but not as dated as 1996 already felt by 2006. I was saying this in response to Emman's previous comment.

What made 1996 truly ancient by 2006 was stuff like social media, more internet accessibility, ect but there was a similar enough sense of fashion, music styles, ect. Stuff like crunk, snap rap, and emo seem like incremental modifications of popular '90s styles.

I sense a change from ten years ago mostly in politics and the economy.

2009 was when "EDM" broke into the mainstream in the US but EDM just seems like the final melange of disparate dance styles from the past 35-40 years, anywhere from disco to synth-pop to house to trance.

Stuff from '00, '01 that could be considered dated by '09 was things like nu metal and teen pop, nu metal in particular was heavily influenced by grunge but so was a lot of mainstream rock in '09(if not that then pop punk).

There were people on here ten years ago complaining about how little apparently changed from the '90s. There may have been mild hints of 1999 in 2006, but they were in no way predominant.

Well if we're talking about ten year old posts on this site, where early 90s nostalgia was pretty rampant, I could see why.

Now, I could tell a lot of differences between the 90's and the 00's.

Yeah, the 2010's are pretty much their own thing. Back when I was in school, you'd get called a dork if you're pants and shirts were anything smaller than XXXL.

Also, along with the 90's, of course, even certain 80's styles look pretty modern to me. Both decades were decades of casual, relaxed teen wear.

The flowery dress in the first picture would be considered trendy again today.

Remember that change is gradual. People tend to not notice the change unless they look in hindsight after 10 or so years have gone by.

Yeah, there are a few tiny 90s revival things, here and there, but nothing that significant. The hipster trend is what's really dictating fashion of this decade, much to my dismay.

When do you think the hipsters will lose their influence over fashion. I hope it's not too much longer.  :-[

Flannel has had a huge revival, but you're right, 2010's fashion is distinct from '90s fashion.

It is different from the 1990s. 2010s fashion is just like 2000s fashion only a bit tighter and more bright colours.

That's not even really a 90's or a distinct Grunge thing though. I don't get some of these kids who think people magically started wearing flannel in the fall of 1991. It was also a really  big thing in the 70's, 80's and even before that!

Look at all the kids here:

Tons of flannel and other styles that survived well into the 90's.

The reason it made a comeback is because people were trying to emulate the 90s though.

2010s fashion is mostly distinct, but vintage fashion stores popped up in a lot of places in the early '10s and Mad Men started airing, so we're seeing a lot of 1950s/1960s/1990s styles make a comeback, but they all have a 2010s spin to them. Anyway, not every piece of clothing is revivalist.

Still isn't a 90's thing and it's ignorant of previous decade fashion to think it is.

I don't think we've reached the peak of 90s nostalgia yet. I think it's too early for early 2000s nostalgia, I think 90s nostalgia will be huge and in its peak in the 10s. Then 2000s nostalgia can start in the 20s. Usually it's a 20 year cycle. I'm sure some 90s clothes will make a come back in a couple more years.

TV shows from the '00s are already being called classics in this era (2014-present).

Yeah by children of the 00s like me, which doesn't count. I say things from the mid to late 00s are already classic. It doesn't mean the world accepts 2000s nostalgia yet, especially not in the capital market. As soon as the 00s look retro, get movies that resemble the 00s (we don't even have that for the 90s yet), 00s parties, 00s nostalgic merchandise, then the 00s will be in nostalgia/comeback phase. Won't happen for a while imo. People miss the early 2000s, but it''s not retro yet.

I think that mostly came from 2000s kids, who mostly grew up with cartoons and kiddy live-action shows. Although, most people would think that shows from 2000-2004 are really dated, not 2005-2009. Although, I do agree that most 2000s shows are dated, whether it's from 2000-2009.

Lot of people are talking about how they miss shows like Sheep in the Big City, Time Squad, Chalkzone, Invader Zim, Kim Possible, Samurai Jack and more. Can't believe it's been over 10 years since these shows first aired.

To me, it feels like a long time watching those shows.

No kidding. These shows all premiered 12-16 years ago. Everything from technology, music, games, fashion and everything else relating to pop culture were different. It's just crazy to think that at one point in time those shows were popular and airing on TV on a daily basis. Now they're the shows from an old age of cartoon network or Nick.

Yeah they are very dated indeed. Not quite at the retro phase yet though. However the 90s are retro now.

Anything from 1999-2006 just feels ancient to me whenever it comes to old TV shows. They just had a really old feeling I have, before I heard about YouTube in 2007.

Well early-mid 00's culture is pretty distant from mid 10's culture. To think that I now consider shows such as Avatar Last Airbender as old classics is amazing. Can't believe it's been 11 years since it first aired. I guess things changed once Youtube had gotten popular. And also Netflix/Hulu and other streaming sites. Gone are the times where people had to wait for their favorite shows to come on. Now we just binge watch 20+ episodes of our favorite show at any time and anywhere through streaming.

I remember before I used to go on YouTube in 2007, I would usually watch TV all the time for my favorite shows and movies at the time. The only times I would go on the Internet were when I wanted to go on various kids websites. After 2007, I pretty much searched up anything that I wanted to see on YouTube. Even though it wasn't that necessary until I stopped watching TV regularly in 2013.

It's more like the 90s didn't die until 2006.

From a lot of old 2006 posts around the internet too a lot of people 1999 felt recent. Heck even today I'd argue that the 2000s started in 1999 (culturally of course). 1999 is pretty far removed from the typical 1990s year in terms of culture.

The only people who think 1999-2003 are part of the 90s were those who didn't truly experience the 90s.

I see the shots are being fired.  ;) But yeah I to me 1999 has more in common with 2000's years than 1990's years. And even by 2003 things from 1999 were still pretty relevant. At least in terms of pop culture.

I really don't know why people think 1999 was like the quintessential year of the 90s to them. Sure, there were VCRs, dial-up Internet, Y2K craze, NSYNC, Spice Girls, and other stuff. But they were all relevant during the early 2000s. So, I don't know why people think the late 90s, especially 1999, were like the true 90s. It just sucks since 90s nostalgia nowadays are focusing on 1996-1999, when 1996 and 1997 were like the only true 90s years to Internet veterans.

All of those things were also in 2000-2002 as well. Heck if it existed in 1999 then chances are it also existed in 2002/2003. Only thing that died was the Y2K craze which ended by 2000. But VCRs, Dial up, NSYNC, Spice Girls etc were all still there until 2002/2003.

Yeah I hate when people define the 90s by the late 90s only. I think people do that because they want to feel like a 90s kid. Maybe not anymore, because those kids grew up and they are smarter now. But I remember how annoying it was in the early 2010s when kids born in 1999 called themselves 90s kids. The early and mid 90s were much more definitive 90s years than the late 90s, which were more 2000s.

What's even weirder is that none of them give a sh*t about the differences between the actual 90s and the 90s that keep being plastered since 2013. As someone who knows what nostalgia culture was since 2008, it just seems very weird. Not to mention that those born in 1995-1999 are still saying they're 90s kids, but in reality, they aren't. When the hell does being a toddler in the late 90s make you a 90s kid? Hell, I was born in 1999, and I think the only things I experienced during the 90s was being born in Manhattan and moving to a house in another borough of NYC. The first TV memory I had was probably from late 2002, where I watched something with Elmo. It's not the same as what actual 90s kids did during their childhood.

Hell, I was born in 1999, and I think the only things I experienced during the 90s was being born in Manhattan and moving to a house in another borough of NYC. The first TV memory I had was probably from late 2002, where I watched something with Elmo. It's not the same as what actual 90s kids did during their childhood.


Most my friends still think they're 90s kids lol. At least they don't post the memes anymore.

That's what I'm sssooooo happy about. Those damn "90s kid" memes are just downright annoying. I like the early 2010s due to how upbeat the culture was, but I hated rise in "90s kid" movement. And it's not just the memes, but also the stupid youtube videos, online articles (seriously why makes an article about something was dumb as this?!?!), and social groups. And to top it all off I couldn't stand how superior people felt just because they were "90s kids". 

I like the 1990s was much as the next guy (meh...okay maybe not), but I can't stand the annoying 1990s nostalgia pandering along with the stuff I just mentioned above. Pretty much ruined the decade for me.  >:(

Now if you'll excuse me I need to prepare myself as I'm sure I'll soon hate the 2000s when the nostalgia for the decade hits in the 2020s.  >:(

That's why really pissed me off about the Internet ever since the 90s became intensely nostalgic. Every single thing about the 90s (most notably the late 90s) are praised towards these people and they don't give a sh*t about how they shouldn't think of it as a fact. What's worse is that these people brainwash 2000s kids (mostly 1995-1999 babies) to think that their decade sucks, and the only positive thing about it is that they were born in the 90s.

I actually wish 90s nostalgia was more accurate instead of just pandering it towards Buzzfeed regulars, Tumblr idiots, and whiny millennials. It's up to the point where I just wish we were at the 2020s now, so 2000s nostalgia could start.

Meh. 2000s nostalgia wouldn't be that bad, since most people dislikes it and they wouldn't even bother.

This right here. What I hate about the brainwashing of the 2000s kids is that it's making them pretty much hate over 50% of their own lives. I mean if you're a 2000s kid and the 1990s nostalgia wave made you hate the 2000s then you pretty much just made yourself hate over 50% of your own life experiences. From childhood to teenhood. What gets to me is that before the nostalgia wave hit none of the 2000s kids hated the 2000s at all. They were all happy with what they had and didn't go thinking "UGH! Why can't things be like how they were in the 90s. Now because of the 1990s wave all of these stupid buzzfeed articles, dumb tumblr posts, cringy youtube vids, annoying memes, and idiotic "90s kids" along with the constant obsession with the 1990s the 2000s kids somehow ended up getting brainwashed into hating the 2000s. The fact that this happened makes me sick.  >:(

I suppose you're right, but then again you must remember the decade cycle. If the decade is current then people hate it. It's why I used to jokingly give the quote "It it's modern then it sucks" as it's the flawed mentality that everyone seems to have. If the decade started 10 years ago then people hate it, but soon start to warm up to it (current example? The 2000s). And if he decade started 20 years ago then people love it because.........I don't know probably because of their flawed mentality.

Back in the 1990s - 2000s there was A LOT of people who didn't like the 1990s. They thought the 1980s was the best decade to ever exist (this was when the 1980s nostalgia wave was at its peak and the people who were influencing pop culture in the 2000s were 80s kids). The 1990s is looked at with rose tinted nostalgia goggles, but about a decade or so ago people criticized the 1990s. The nostalgia cycle happens for EVERY decade.  All them brainwashed 2000s kids will soon come to their senses and discover their "hidden" love and joy for the 2000s in the 2020s.  It happened many times before and it'll happen again.

I don't get why tons of 2000s kids love the 90s so much, even though most of them weren't even born yet throughout most of the 90s. It's just really sad and those 90s kids could've realize that they can't have the same childhood as them. If I were a 90s kid, I would've think that this 90s craze has gotten way out of hand and people need to stop with glorifying the decade.

It was fun at first but it got abused and went overboard.

Not looking forward to 2000s nostalgia though. From my peers that is, the kids can have their fun, but if someone my age starts taking about Soulja Boy imma flip.

Even as a 90s kid I understood that not everyone will enjoy what I had. And that not everyone had the same childhood. I learned this back in the 2000s when a bunch of 80s kids were telling me how they had the best cartoons or grew up during the golden age of Micheal Jackson. I learned that not everyone grew up in the 1990s. And just because I happen to grow up in that decade doesn't make me special or better than the younger people. Heck as you've all seen I like things from all decades. I like 40's Jazz, 80's pop, 30's/40's/90's/00's/10's cartoons, late 90's/early 00's Y2K culture and Xtreme trend, 10's Disney Revival  Era, 30s-40s Comics etc etc. I find enjoyment from many different periods. I'm don't like how "90's kids" say that the 1990s was the best for everything relating to music, cartoons, comics (1990s comics sucked), fashion and everything else within pop culture. But then again this is just my own opinion of course. Obviously most others would disagree with me. It wasn't a bad decade, but it wasn't the utopia that most "90's kids" think it is. Especially seeing how things like crime & murder in the 1990s was at a crazy high rate. One could say it was borderline unsafe.

There are those of you on this forum that're younger than I am, but I never try to use that against any of you. Using your own age to make yourself seem more dominant than someone else is basically ageism. Something that I hate with a burning passion (along with sexism, racism, and LGBT Homophobia). Plus I really don't understand most arguments from "90's kids". Like when they say things like "Man, I feel sorry for kids these days. They didn't grow up with classic cartoons like Hey Arnold or Dark Wing Duck" as if the type of cartoons you watch makes you better or puts you in a position where you can "pity" other people.

Great! Now this discussion has put me in a bad mood.  >:( Need to go listen to some good ol' Jazz Fusion music to calm my nerves. Or just watch Big Hero 6 for the 72nd time. Also I think we've derailed from the topic quite a bit. Sorry about that.  :-

Pretty much. I can understand having a bit of nostalgia for an older time (obviously you all seen me have nostalgia for older periods multiple times), but when it got overboard that's when things started to get annoying. Also if I see any Soulja Boy nostalgia revivals I'm gonna cry.  :(
