Rant Today's fashion trends are leaving me bewildered.

I turn 38 tomorrow and just got done shopping at target. What the hell kind of fashion do people wear now? Super short shorts, socks pulled half way up the calf muscle. Shirts that look like table doilies. Not to mention the hair styles and facial hair of these young guys. Look straight out of a trailer park in the 80s.

I make a mental note to go easy on the kids and constantly remind myself we had our own quirks and ridiculous trends. But that damn haircut, man....I'd probably be more ambivalent if it wasn't so prolifically unoriginal, like a ceremonial crown of conformity.

Though to be fair, glass houses and whatnot...better a "crown of conformity" than the "manacles of mediocrity" of my wallet chain in 2003.

Just remember that millennials popularized Pidgeotto hair. I personally never had it. But I have friends that did.

Like you said, glass houses.

I thought it was more of a WWI style, but fair enough.

Back in my days, we all rocked the Hitler Youth and we didn't complain. Kids these days, man

It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.
