nelly - headbands, band-aids

nirvana - flannel

abc and kris kross - backwards and inside out clothing (hehehehehe)

Bros - strategically ripped too-blue jeans, biker jackets, Grolsch bottle tops on shoes.

Pulp/Suede/Saint Etienne - triple-handedly revived the noble art of charity shop/op-shop/thrist store shopping.

Orbital - those stupid fucking glasses with the lights on.

thrist=thrift, duh.

Ibiza compilations with wide-faced women sporting those stupid fucking frameless tint sunglasses on the cover.

Can anybody make a case for why on Earth fat laces haven't come back yet?

but has there ever been another song about a specific garment that was as influential as "My Adidas"? wu-wear doesn't cut it.

My Addidas came out in '86

i was in highschool in 90-94. everyone was wearing shell toes and fat laces. the resurgance probably had something to do with the beastie boys rocking them

...hooold up! unless I'm being a twit, I was always under the impression that Run DMC wore NO LACES AT ALL in their Adidas!

Help!

― Charlie (Charlie), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 02:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Fat laces are still around. They're on Vans, now, and the Sum 41/Linkin Park fanbase wears them to school.

but has there ever been another song about a specific garment that was as influential as "My Adidas"? wu-wear doesn't cut it.

What about 'I like girls who wear abercrombie and fitch?'
Ugggh.

Charlie, RUN-DMC were so influential that they automatically 0wnZor any mention of sneaker fashion at all! Top that, [insert name of artist here]!!

"but has there ever been another song about a specific garment that was as influential as "My Adidas"? wu-wear doesn't cut it."

-influential in that it influenced people to embrace a certain style or influential musically?

remember the big dance song about daisy dukes?

har.

the cut-off jean shorts? what was the song??

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Winger, Warrant, The Crue, Poison = Mullets, big hair, acid wash.

I will also say Madonna during her plastic bracelets and head band years, all the girls wanted to be like her.

Sigh.. if only "The Thong Song" had become such an anthem....

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 18:11 (twenty-three years ago)

But Sterling! How well can you wear a thong?

"the cut-off jean shorts? what was the song??"

-i believe the song was actually called daisy dukes except it employed some silly incomprehensible spelling.

this was in the early 90's, maybe?

― jq higgins, Wednesday, 13 November 2002 19:28 (twenty-three years ago)

They outlawed daisy dukes at my high school. You couldn't wear dolphins or show your "bare midriff" either. Shorts on boys had to be BELOW the knee (not on girls though, huh).

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 20:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Listen to Charlie, fools, it was all about the "jail shoes".
