“Whale Tail”: 40 Millennial Trends People Still Cringe At To This Day

ADVERTISEMENT

Following a new, hot-of-the-press trend can be extremely enticing. Our need to fit in and belong is perhaps the main reason why. And let’s face it, making a fun little video to a viral song or updating your wardrobe with the latest fashion craze can give us the dash of serotonin we desperately need to get through the day.

But fads come and go, leaving us cringing at our old photos sporting frosted tips or grinning in a room decked out with Beanie Babies. Recently, millennials have been posting about the weird trends they've been a part of that don’t look as ‘dope’ today as they did back then.

Fancy a nostalgic throwback? Then all you have to do is scroll down!

“Whale Tail”: 40 Millennial Trends People Still Cringe At To This Day I know the young kids have hated on millennials for their skinny jeans but mf you should have SEEN how baggy the pants were in the late 90s/early 2000s.

What often drives us to adopt popular behaviors is the desire to fit in and be accepted by our peers. Humans are social creatures, and the need for approval is deeply ingrained in our nature. Following trends and keeping up with them fosters a sense of community among people who have similar interests and preferences and can provide a sense of comfort.

ADVERTISEMENT

There’s also the fear of missing out (FOMO). In a fast-paced and advanced society, individuals may feel pressured to jump on the latest fad to avoid being left out or disconnected from current events. Social media magnifies this by constantly pushing new trends that people would want to imitate and experience.

However, this comes at a cost. And no, we’re not talking about you cringing at your photos sporting chunky highlights, but rather about the negative consequences it has on society and the environment.

ADVERTISEMENT

With so many trends coming and going, the number of times an item of clothing is worn has gone down by around 36% in the last 15 years. It was found that the average American consumer throws out 81.5 lbs. of clothes each year, of which 66% end up in landfills, taking decades to decompose. Such wastefulness is not only a big problem for the environment but also causes rising amounts of textile waste.

The need to be “in vogue” can additionally be harmful to our emotional state, leaving us dissatisfied every time we struggle to keep up with the latest fad. People may start feeling insecure when the fashion craze changes and we no longer get validation from imitating others.

It also limits personal growth and independent critical thinking, as people miss opportunities to improve and uncover their unique abilities when they concentrate on copying others.

Weird pointless asymmetry being the only cool way to wear anything. Wearing your backpack on one shoulder only instead of both because that's for nerds (my poor back!). Wearing your belt with the buckle waaay off to the side. Side bangs. Side ponytails. Baseball cap backwards and off-center.

Skater aesthetic despite not being able to skateboard whatsoever 😂 I was obsessed with Blink-182 and pop punk and wore mostly brands like Hurley, Vans, Quicksilver and wanted my mom to buy my clothes from Pac Sun and Hot Topic. The “t-shirt over a long-sleeve shirt,” puka shell necklaces, and studded and seatbelt belts were frequent parts of my wardrobe. What I really wanted was a “skater” boyfriend. I lived in fear of being called a “poser.”.

So we were already very familiar with Lance Armstrong and supporting him(remember this was before s**t came out) so I was like the first person I knew to have a livestrong bracelet and I wore it for many, many years. Lowkey I wish I still had it for nostalgia sake.

Probably the dumbest fad I engages in was taking edgy MySpace photos lmao. I would go to like, some abandoned construction site or an old building or something “grungy” looking and stand around taking pics at that sky-high MySpace angle lmaooo.

I don’t know if this happened everywhere, but around the early teen years (for me, a younger millennial) my area had a big wave of teen nightclubs. Basically adult night clubs would open just to teens (12-17) on usually a Friday night once or twice a month. There’s were enough of them you could go to one just about every Friday night. The issue was that since the majority of the demographic didn’t have IDs yet, they just didn’t ID anyone, so there were plenty of teenagers, but also a lot of early 20s folks who happened to look a bit younger, and other then the person letting people in there was literally no adult supervision, looking back it was super unsafe.

Started out by going to restaurants in the uk that magically transformed into nightclubs at 10pm they somehow managed to avoid getting closed down for many years as it is/was legal to serve alcohol to ‘kids’ with a meal, that was at 15 years old and by 16 we were going to the proper nightclubs, we might have been barred entry to one or two on any night but just went to the next one. Coming home at 2 in the morning was pretty normal for a 16 year old (where I grew up at least) in 1999 now my kids ar e lucky if I let them stay out past 10

Torn designer jeans in high school. I guess people still like those, but I think they're kind of ridiculous now. Also, guess and express tshirts with all the patterns and shiny prints on them + gel in my hair.

Another fad I got caught up in later was the barbell piercing.

I was a console fanboy for a few years. I still love Nintendo, and I think a lot of my fandom was warranted because the gamecube has some of the sickest games of all time and they were criminally underrated at the time. However, it was like identity politics for me, and I took it too far. I was unironically going to get a nintendo tattoo when I turned 18. I'm glad I snapped out of it. S**t, I totally need a nintendo tattoo though.

Rolling up one pant leg for BMX biking. Mostly done while actively biking, but one might keep it rolled up longer than necessary as a middle/high schooler that wanted to look cool. Not sure if it's something that was very widespread, but definitely was a thing in my school district.

I've always been mostly anti-fad. Not entirely sure why, but this has been consistent for much of my life. Was always a bit of a contrarian, but I don't think I've ever really been a d**k about it. My wife always talks s**t (jokingly) about it when I do it nowadays, like when I was losing my mind during the Stanley cup phase recently. Fads always felt weird and circle jerky to me, even as a kid. Makes me think of those chimps that started putting grass in their ears. Couldn't really afford to buy new s**t often until I was probably mid 20s, so that likely played a big part.

Definitely missed out on some things I'd have otherwise enjoyed, but I don't mind. I like my interests/style/etc to be slightly niche.
