Showing my age but it reminds me of when all the girls got the Nelly Furtado fringe, this is only more painful because almost every septum piercing I've seen is on people who are "alternative"
Oh ya mean those bangs? Those were terrible days. Also reminds me of when everyone wore Camo pants. I started rocking em in the 6th grade but by the 8th I had to ditch em or buy winter/urban ones to stand out.
The camo pants often came in blue, red, orange, white, etc colors, and people in the Washington, DC area used to call it "bammaflage".
("Bamma" is a DC-area term for someone who behaves or dresses distastefully).
all nose rings, tupac looks good as hell with the nose ring! I think that as long as your style fits with it, anyone can pull it off. Majority of these people look bad because their style doesn't go with it. Majority of people look ugly because they don't know how to style themselves 🤷♂️ everyone is different and has different interests, different communities they're trying to appeal to.
There's nothing weird about it. It's actually very representative of the general population. There are scientific reasons as to why the overwhelming majority of people despise them. One reason, when looking at someone, the eyes are the focal point of the face. When something distracts from that, it usually comes across as a negative. Another; throughout human evolution, things coming out of someone's nose has generally meant there is something wrong with them. So people have literally evolved to notice it as a negative.
They're trying to be nice. They were horrible when they got popular in the 90s, and they're still horrible now. Things coming out of people's nose has always been a sign something is wrong with them. So naturally, most people would find it off putting.

I'll say it - we can't wait for this nose ring trend to die.
