idk I kind of feel like the ruthless demands of fast-fashion have kind of disrupted the trend of wild new fashions emerging. There's just not as much that can be done when everything has been leveraged so much. I've noticed it with goths - The look has gotten much more streamlined over the last couple of decades and my personal supposition is that it's because the fancy, sorta-elaborate old velvet and skirts and vests and stuff we used to get cheap from thrift stores in the 90s and 00s doesn't really exist anymore bc of changes in clothing manufacturing and marketing.
Like the fashion look for this summer was apparently "White guy with no taste".
It's not that they don't understand it, it's more that it was cool at one point in their lives and became very uncool that now that it's cool again there's still a cringe reaction.
My older siblings will never accept bucket hats or perms for men being cool. Especially not mullets and mustaches.
Canada is kinda different because hockey guys always have mullets because it's the only thing that isn't a buzz cut that looks the same after taking off a helmet, but the mullets were of a different form than current trendy mullets

Oh my god, so I was actually fashionable for once?
To be effortlessly fashionable is the very height of fashion!
And to be effortlessly unfashionable?
you mad men brought the mullet back ironically and somehow along the way ditched the irony
WHY
Cue hair product companies trying to bring frosted tips back "ironically" to pad their quarterlies
