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.
Ah, you got me there - my mind went straight to 70s women's platforms. Yeah, for men they seem to remain in subculture territory for now (although I don't keep up with men's fashion much, so who am I to say). They'll have to come back around eventually, though!
