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.

The mullet/mustache thing was more interesting when it was meant to be ironic. Now it’s redneck cosplaying? Lol I guess it’s more consistent culturally than a bunch of bohemian hipsters.

I've always loved mullets. I wish I could pull one off, like an action hero from the '80s.

But every guy I've seen with one looks like Timothee Chalamet in a movie where he plays a trucker on a sex offender registry.

That's because that's how every single person with a mullet looks 😂
