" I do n’t understand the chunky foam shoes . Does anyone ? Because they are just manifestly ugly . "
As a Gen Z’er myself, I’ll admit it: there are a lot of rather confusing trends our generation buys into. Sometimes, we adapt a particular style choice that actually makes no sense to anyone older than us.
So recently, we asked theBuzzFeed Community, “WhatGen Z style trendcan you just not wrap your mind around?” and people responded with some VERY accurate results. So prepare to be humbled, because here they are:
1.“I’m all for you doing you, but I am BEGGING men to stop with the mullets.”
" Women can look jolly cunning — it ’s a fun piece of ass , aJoan Jettkind of affair . fop with them though , practiced God , what are you doing ? "

At The All - American Rejects this past Saturday , I was stun by the amount of phones , each one a barrier between me and the actual experience . It ’s like we ’re trading real memories for digital transcription , and I ca n’t facilitate but wonder what we ’re all missing . "
