Notes -
There’s this relatively well-known (I guess) online trope that goes something like this:
Girlfriend who is breaking up with you just now: “You’ll never find another girl like me!”
You (in your head): but.. you literally look exactly like every other girl (recalling a scene you’ve just seen on the street the other day, where a bunch of college girls looking exactly the same were hanging around the street corner)
The joke here is mainly that the college girls featured in this trope are all wearing these gigantic, baggy, light-colored jeans and also completely similar tops. Can anyone explain where this style originates? What’s the story on this? I’m aware of the usual answers: women are like a dumb herd, fashion does not need to make any sense, it’s just a fad etc.
I can only assume that the modern average middle-class single woman, acculturated in 3rd wave feminism, is reluctant to wear either skirts or those tight-fitting low-rider jeans from the turn of the millennium because she assumes it’d draw the attention of shithead patriarchal dudebros.
