Name a weird teen fad

[disneydragon]

I'll go first -- My grandmother told me that when she was about 16 years old, the fad was for girls to wear their sweaters inside out. (Oooooh, the rebels!)

 

[CBRorBust]

P.J.'s to school!

 

[MosMom]

Plaid boxers with thermal long johns underneath

 

[campingcorgi]

Pulling the loop off the back of a boy's oxford shirt.

 

[CyranoJones]

We kind of thought that pantyhose was going to be a fad. Guess we were wrong!!

 

[Disney Doll]

Baggy pants where the crotch is at your knees.

 

[Beastlover]

Two words:

LEG WARMERS!!!

 

[Disfan1]

I've always thought Baby Bottle POP candy was kind of strange. A few years ago, the hot thing around here was for teens to use pacifiers!

 

[Growin'upDisney]

"Pegging" your pant legs.

Jelly shoes.

China Flats.

friendship bracelets

ohh I could go on and on. Problem is I was a victim of these fads. Can you tell I was a kid in the 80's and early 90's??

 

[Dan Murphy]

Metal cleats on shoe heels, strictly verboten at my school.

 

[Cindy B]

Flashdance look..

Big headbands

roach clip feather hair clips

the headbands with springs on them, and on the top of the springs a glittery ball or star... (can't remember what those are called)

Can you say early 80s?


Late 80's

Combat boots

Decorated Chucks

the black leggins under a skirt

mens suit (David Byrne look)

 

[bcvgal]

parachute pants

 

[Feralpeg]

If you were going steady, your boyfriend would give you his school ring to wear. Since it would be to big, you wrapped mohair yarn around the back and sides. Then you brushed it until it fuzzed up! This was a late 60's thing.

 

[dadof3disneyholics]

the wearing of Camouflage Pants

driving around with those Crowns on the dashboard of cars

the audacity of fake gold "capped" teeth

 

[Kermit]

I've never understood why girls have words on their butts. If you've got something important to say, you should put it just about anywhere else.

 

[Trish5768]

Big hair - Another 80's thing.

 

[joshsmom]

Goth look

Mall Hair (our poor Ozone layer!!!!)

Cowboy hats at the skating rink--Urban Cowboy era

Ribbon Barettes

 

[Stepharoonie!]

Those horrible slap bracelets!!

 

[Stepharoonie!]

...and while I'm thinking of it, I think the fad now is for girls to wear shortsor skirts SO TINY AND SHORT that their butt cheeks are **almost** hanging out. I saw a LOT of those girls at DTD tonight, all in the 16-20 range. Sheesh!

 

[Serena]

What about these young and not so young men with their pants hanging around their knees??? I just don't get it.
