I could've sworn we wore longer shorts in 2001.

Nah, pre-9/11 was still the 90s

The 90s were totally known for long shorts. Aka, the Fab 5 and Michael Jordan. The 80s were short shorts on men.

Yeah, but he was the butt of many jokes because of it. On the playground court we'd pull our shorts way up and yell Stockton like you might yell Kobe

The Fab 5 and Michael Jordan were what started making them popular. It would take years to catch on and become the norm.

Depending on age. I can accept I wore longer shorts whereas Bush and the older generation would dare wear short shorts.

I still don't feel comfortable wearing shorts above the knee. Just doesn't feel right.

I distinctly remember everyone telling me in the late 90s that it wasn't the real 90s any more.

We did, we just made fun of “old dudes” who still wore shorts like that. Now, those shorts are back in style and we’re the old dudes because our shorts are all long and lame. The wheel of karma never stops turning

“These kids look like IDIOTS,” I say, staring out the window of my mom’s house wearing a fresh set of JNCOs, an Atari t-shirt from Gadzooks, and a ball chain necklace. It had been raining earlier and my Jinks are soaked up to my nuts area.

We did, those are just high cut jogging shorts they are extra short so they do not interfere with your leg movement. It's a preference. You can still buy the same kind of short leg length today from big brands too.

I’d guess the 3 guys following Bush are all ex-military and were used to wearing short shorts

Thanks. I knew something was off when swore/wore were rhyming, but I couldn't put my finger on it!
