List some BAD fashion statements that you remember while growing up.
1. The backwards clothing fashion.
Gangersters and suburban hoodies used this to clothing statement to show their lack of direction. I was in junior high when everyone was doing this. I
always felt like they must be really uncomfortable sitting in class with their pants backwards.
2. Z CAVARICHI(spelling) Al the wiggas loved this shit. It was the expensive pants and sweaters that made people steal for the money to buy it.
3. Starter jackets- I remember people getting shot for them.
4. Fat shoe laces- I even had some. The ones that would have 2 tone colors in them. I used to relace my shoes depending on what color shirt I wore.
5. Air Jordans- My family could never get them for me so this makes me sad, and it was around 1986 or 87 that I got into skating and bmx-ing. So I had
no need for them.
6. Ska- I remember in the late 80's and early 90's everyone wanted to be into ska. I never understood it but as I have gotten older I now listen to of
some of it. I guess I missed the boat. The ska guys always had the hot chicks. If I would not have been an idiot I could have gotten laid more.
7. the REAL old school stoner- Circa mid to late eighties. Not the stoner of today that likes every type of music under the sun. I'm talkin about the
real IRON MAIDEN or OZZY OSBORNE fan that was mad at ANTHRAX for wearing visionstreetwear clothing. The real stoner that sometimes had an allegance
with the skaters in school because they sometimes needed backup from all the football player jocks in school. Back then you had to watch out when you
skated because you would get jumped by the football team and be eating some fist.
The REAL stoner who would actually fight the teacher that kicked them out of the bathroom for smoking.
Shit most of todays stoners don't even smoke. I go tmore but RESCUE ME is on. POST SOME MORE IF YOU GOT SOME FUNNY MEMORIES.

I remember a few kids doing the backwards clothes thing when I was in middle school. Kriss Kross was big then, and it was the two black kids in my
school that dressed that way a few times.
Middle school was when fashion mattered to everyone, and I remember that if you didnt have Champion stuff or B.U.M. Equipment stuff then you werent
anybody. Or Nike shoes. That was about the time when cuffing your jeans was cool too. I did that for a little bit.... trying to conform a bit, but
still have a bit of my own identity.
That's all I can think of.

hahaha when I lived in troy I had a roommate with one. The kid grew up like 30 minutes from me in orange county, when I played against him in football
and wrestling and my first semester at hvcc I just use to scream rattail.
My third semester he ended being my roommate real nice guy.
His rattail is probably down to his butt now for all I know

I remember seeing horrible perms and teased hair in the early 90's.
Have you ever noticed how crayons are a lot like M&M's? All the colors tend to taste the same.

SKIDZ from MERRY GO ROND store. Shit I had a friend who's parents bought him everything and he collected all the colors. They were like karate pants
made from flannel. I had I think only 1 pair but never wore them outside. I couldn't do it.

I had a rat tail, and also has a mullet but I was only 10 or so. I guess that lets me off the hook for that. Ya know, new fashion trends are just as
bad as the 80's. Look at all of these white belts and gay haircuts. It's no different.

I remember back in high school all the black people were wearing Malcom X shit and Africa everything. Shirts, hats, pendants, everything with a
picture of Africa and the african colors. This was also mixed with a fake accent that was some wierd mix of Canadian, Jamaican, and something else.
It was pretty funny when some guy you had known for 10 years all of a sudden had an accent that wasn't there the week before.

the worst haircut I probably ever had was the "bowl cut". That was in middle school, so the early 90s.
