    The current female waistline fashion is 1980s throwback

      Does that mean 90s fashion is going to make a return soon? I am all for that to be honest.

      Yup. Late post to this, but went shopping with our kids the other day and our daughter picked out several of the high waisted jeans that are popular now. I just chuckled looking at them and pointed out to my wife that she used to wear the exact same thing in high school - late 80s.

    And there are people that make more money in a year than you’ll make in your life, whose “job” it is to decide to raise that seam a half inch up from last year for fashion, to acolades and red carpet galas praising their unparalleled genius for doing it.

    Then the ones that actually make the jeans that people actually wear make less in their lives than we make in a year.

    Humans are soooo weird, cruel, and cruel in genuinely weird ways.

      They didn’t “decide it”. If you get fat as many nowadays do, you’ll just spill over your jeans. The only way to avoid that is by raising them up high. This is one disingenuous picture because of that.

      I’d we were suddenly as soon as we were in 2011, we would wear the clothes the way we did in 2011 .

        Not only is this not true, but like others in the thread have said, the current jeans fashion is actually a callback to the 1980s.

          Yeah, it’s been here a while and is already moving on to the 90’s, I’m seeing huge wide jeans out there. As a slim jeans wearer who doesn’t care much for fashion I am stocking up now because they are going to be like gold dust soon, I’m not making that mistake a second time.

        It was pretty great going to high school when the interesting fashion trends were low rise jeans and thongs. I mean, the rest of high school was awful, but at least there were whale tails.

      Well you’re in luck because this meme is completely wrong. Low rise jeans are in style and have been starting to go on trend for a couple years, they’re everywhere now.

      It should be:

      Late 90’s to 2000’s low rise jeans

      2010’s high waisted jeans

      2020’s low rise jeans

      2030’s Best Jeanist?

      Whoever made this is a full decade out of touch with fashion.

    They haven’t been paying attention for long enough to make such a prediction.

    The waist height vs time function is approachable to a sinusoidal function with a period of about 20 years.

      This is the correct answer. It’s sinosoidal and the frequency has to stay low enough that the time between peaks and troughs will necessitate that people continuously buy jeans and can’t reuse the ones from the prior peak or trough.

    If you did this comparison from the 70s to the 2030s you’d have pants around the ankles.

        It’s a comic.

            You missed out the part about it being copied. This is an original work as far as I can tell, it would become a meme if for example it was reposted in many places with different text.

            Comics can of course be memes, but I don’t think this one is. What’s the Loss that you’re referring to?

                I meant original as in unmodified. You linked to the same comic.

                Yes this is my first day on the internet.

                In the interest of actually having a good faith discussion, I agree with the definition given here, for example:

                If you draw a picture and call it a meme but nobody else recognizes it or wants to replicate it, it’s not a meme.

                It would be interesting to discuss if you disagree with this definition.
