The 90s was jeans-tastic. Hell, back then even people who weren’t Jay Leno would sometimes wear denim button down shirts!

The baggy kind at that. Can't believe I did it too.

Jnco jeans. Pockets big enough to fit a CD Walkman and a few CDs.

I kinda miss the pocket space.

Our jeans really did look ridiculous. Damnit.

Jncos had pockets so deep the cops couldn't find your weed.

BadgerHooker t1_j546al9 wrote

You could easily fit a 40 in those pockets. Also, I had a pair that had a secret Velcro pocket between the knee and crotch area for hiding stuff.

Is how I read that initially.

My police record strongly disagrees with this statement.

pseudocultist t1_j55mav9 wrote

I spent 2 hours in a police station before being released. It was only midway through that I reached deep down in my right pocket and felt the 8th the officers had missed during several patdowns and reach-ins. Got real nervous after that. But they let me go and I smoked that 8th.

It's funny because the first time that I saw skinny jeans, I laughed and laughed. These are so much worse.

PeterNippelstein t1_j54ip6c wrote

Oversized ones like this are bad, but the baggy look today is much more reasonable and appealing

Pihkal1987 t1_j53y6ee wrote

Yea honestly I think we peaked a few years back. The big flapping jeans are slightly ridiculous. But maybe that’s because I was there for the first time I’m not sure lol

mrhuggables t1_j57fwya wrote

when I look back at jeans throughout history, from the 60s 70s 80s and most of the 90s, it's like yeah you can tell what decade theyre from but vast majority of them don't look ridiculous... but the super baggy for men and super low rise for women trends that came in the 00s is just still so awful

Pihkal1987 t1_j5830vg wrote

Yea it was a very confusing time for everyone lol. High school years for me

Yung_Corneliois t1_j54bqjj wrote

It’s not just that the JNCOs are so large but also that their shirts are so tight. It’s just so bottom heavy.

CharlySB t1_j566h2x wrote

Yeah that contrast really bothers me. If shirts were equally as baggy it wouldn’t be as bad.

Zmb7elwa t1_j55ff51 wrote

And they were extra stupid if you lived anywhere that snows and rains a bit. So uncomfortable but you didn’t care as long as you looked like a clown like everyone else. 😂 Good times.

Anyone know where I left my velvet baby t?

Which one?

Thanks, Emilio Estevez

No problem Justin Timberlake after he was bitten by a vampire bat.

I thought Justin Timberlake was the cutest guy on the planet in the 90s. Let’s just say that I did not remember him looking like that. Nor did I remember the whole band looking so odd. 😂
