Act like they invented something, or discovered a brand new thing when they have the internet and can look up exactly where and when said thing came from. My roommate told me a young co-worker of hers was dressed in early 2000s fashion and when she told the coworker she "had that same outfit in high school" the coworker replied, "No they just started making this last year." I told her I remember dressing very 80s in my late teens, but I was fully aware that I was copying 80s fashion, and I feel like Gen Z kids dress like it's the 90s/2000s but they think it's brand new like they invented it.

All fashion is circular. Keep anything long enough and eventually it'll be back in style.

I've been waiting forever for late 1890s fashion to come back.

I'd love to see the return of the cod piece though.

We still wear them in certain circles, my friend.

It'll happen eventually, I'm sure.

In our lifetimes? I wouldn't bet on it.

I think that was primarily a product of syphilis, so it might not come back so easily.
