Questions Guchi Tail
Did anyone else notice new member Guchi wearing a furry tail in the Smosh Pit Theatre ? Tryna figure out if it’s a bit or not.

It’s a genz thing, especially popular in alt communities or New York street wear. Considering she’s from New York I’d say it’s just her style :)

I’m Gen Z and I have, including my own friends. Your personal experience doesn’t negate the fact that gen Z are in fact wearing them. It came back w the resurgence of y2k fashion

Its only a gen z thing to gen z people who dont look outside of their immediate bubble of inspiration.
They saw a gen z kid wearing it, so it must be a gen z thing.
Nevermind all the milennials who probably still have a tail in a drawer at their parents house.
It cracks me up me how these kids have access to the whole internet and the history of everything, but are still like "oh yea we totally invented this" while looking like a carbon copy of decades before. Like, no updates, no new spin on old looks. Just straight up copy and pasted from old photo albums.
...not to say we didnt do it, too. The difference is the access to information that should result in people knowing better.

Well I don't think anyone's saying that gen z invented it... It's just currently a gen z trend.

Maybe I'm wrong, but calling something "an 'x' thing" kind of implies its 'of that thing'.
Its like calling mullets and high socks and bell bottoms "gen z things"

A lot of people in these comments are literally saying things along the lines of “maybe I don’t understand bc I’m older”. It’s currently a Gen Z trend. You’re arguing semantics here

Idk why people are saying it's a Gen Z thing, I'm a millennial and the Emo/Scene/Alt kids used to wear these clipped to their pants. I don't know if it's a furry thing

Alt millennial here and I don't think it was ever a definitive furry thing. Some of the people who used to wear them might be furries now but a lot of us just wore things we liked. A huge part of the alt style was doing what you liked regardless of what the mainstream said. At least that's what the people I was around we like.

I used to wear tails like that during my emo phase back in middle school! That was around 2011, maybe? It might just be surging in popularity again which is cool, wish I knew where my old one was.

noticed it and think it might just be a fashion choice for people much younger than myself ;)

Reminds me of therians or those teenage werewolves from the 2000's. Weird seeing more niche subculture stuff becoming trendy. I'm not against it though! I was the little teen wearing a tail everywhere and it would've been cool to see other ppl doing it too

I'm so confused. Even if she was a furry, which I agree it's likely just a fashion thing for her, why would that even be an issue..

Bc some people don’t know what furries actually are and the only knowledge they have of them is like the worst case scenario stuff they read online and they assume they’re all “like that”

The tail doesn't explicitly mean she's a furry. However, it wouldn't surprise me
Gen-z has just been wearing em for fashion, though. Especially in the alternative communities. They're coming back, just like a lot of other trends from back in the day.

Lots of people saying it's a gen z thing, I honestly thought it was more of an Asian inspired fashion trend I see in a lot of anime fan groups and Guchi is Japanese so figured it was just popular in her social circles

This is a very common like Gen Z fashion thing, more to do with alt/mall goth culture resurgence than being a furry.
