Maybe fashion is just...unicyclical.
(I'll see myself out, but I'm also here all week).

mfs think jeans and a tshirt was just invented
-
Maybe it's the teens from 2006 who dressed like those in 1973?

Oh, how the turns have tabled!

Jeans and a plain t-shirt must be the preferred outfit for time travelers—you could fit in during any period in the last 90 years.

Read the Time Travel stories of Fritz Leiber.
One of the things he talks about is how theaters would be the best place to put a time machine. No one would think it strange that someone in Elizabethan clothing is chatting with an astronaut.

Levi Strauss and Jacob W. Davis started marketing their riveted jeans to Gold Rush miners in 1873, so.... And your t-shirt would pass as underwear, though you'd want to add a flannel work shirt or something for more decency. Add work boots and a wrench and you could probably get in anywhere, even a much more formal place than those clothes indicate, if you mutter something about the drains...

We dressed like this in the 80s and 90s, too, and still do. Despite all the various fashion movements over time, my experience is that most people dress like this most of the time. The fashion of simple comfortable clothing changes very slowly.

did you live in a different 2006 than i did? i was 16 and kids dressed like this:
-
Yeah, more like the 90’s

No. The teens from 2006 were dressed like the ones from 1973. Order of incidence.
-
Isn't 2006 a bit oddly specific? How were they dressed in 2005 and 2007?
-
Well in 2005 I don't know about teens, but I do know that douchy 20 year olds had frosted tips and popped collars. Thats how you knew someone was an entitled dick.

I think you mean kids from 2006 dressed like the kids on this book
-
There was kind of a retro thing at the time; bell bottoms came back for girls, carpenter jeans were in for boys...his shoes and her socks would have been out of style in '06 but other than that yeah.

I've been seeing guys wearing their pants below the butt since the 1990s.
