'90s–'00s Trends Millennials Wish Would Make A Comeback
I'm fascinated by the idea of changing fashion trends (and really, just trends in general). Like, it's truly so much fun looking back on the things we all once loved, but have since joined a long list of "what were we thinking"s. And it's even COOLER reminiscing on the trends that we'd all really love to make a comeback!
So recently, millennials on Reddit have been answering the question: "What are trends you thought would have made a comeback by now but haven't?" and it unlocked some serious memories from the '90s–'00s that I wasn't ready for. So without further ado, here's what people said:
"Jeffrey Campbell LITA boots. I was hoping with 'indie sleaze' and the Chloe Paddington and Balenciaga City bags making a comeback we'd see LITAs again, too."
Four fashion colorful high heel shoes on a white background
"For the girls, they've been saying for years that the super low-riding jeans would be coming back, and I've seen them pop up, but not nearly as much as the wide-legged jeans that are high-waisted. The key word with Gen Z'ers and the emerging Gen Alpha kids is 'comfort,' and yeah, it makes sense why the super low-riders haven't made a huge comeback."
"I keep expecting a counter-culture/AI backlash to occur where people go back to mid-2000s internet practices, or at least aesthetics. That might include MySpace, blogging, or social sites with strictly no AI. They've done it with cameras already for the past couple of years — I was speaking to a Gen Z couple at a bar the other week and the guy whips out a 2004 Casio digital camera he'd just bought at a charity shop. I simultaneously felt very excited and very old."
"The colored polo shirts and low-rise jeans were styles that the preppy or popular kids wore when we were in high school. When I first noticed the 2000s/Y2K styles coming back with younger generations, it threw me off because it seemed like they were dressing like the unpopular kids or kids who were bullied when we were in school. It's surprising, because you would expect that it would be the cool kids' style making a resurgence."
"Some sort, any sort of big hair — volumized hair or styled up. It's been the longest stretch in ages of pretty simple, flat, low or even zero-volume hair now for decades. Earlier '90s, '80s, late '70s, earliest '60s, '50s, '40s, '30s — they all had some volume and style. Late '60s to mid-'70s had none, but now it's been decades of none, not just a few stray years."
"Gaucho pants. Haven't seen them in Vogue since like '04, and I'm patiently waiting."
"Argyle sweater vests. Think Seth Cohen on The O.C. I loved them. I suppose we just might not be deep enough into the '00s resurgence for them to be back. Bring back 'emo' before 'emo' became 'scene'!"
"I sort of expected corduroys to be back, because it's a type of fabric. Probably not the thick, heavy ones, but the thinner, lightweight ones that were soft. Didn't expect mood toe rings to be in stores, that's for sure. (I saw that in the wild in November at the mall)."
"The whale tail, AKA thongs showing above your jeans."
"I predicted a huge resurgence of body glitter by 2020, but it never really happened."
"Beanie Babies."
"Some of the hairstyles that were popular mid '90s-onward, like the Rachel cut and layered styles."
"Torn cuffs on jeans and pants."
"Rock music of sorts. Like Paris Texas — a mix of hip hop and rock, at least. I really expected this sound to become 'radio music,' but it went R&B country instead."
"Tie dye coloured tees."
"Juicy track suits."
And here's my choice: denim on denim. People should really start rocking the Canadian tuxedo again, and no, I'm not just saying that because I'm Canadian. I guess ever since Britney and Justin wore it, we all realized none of us can ever top them.
Now it's your turn! What's one trend from the '90s–'00s that you wish would come back already? Tell me in this anonymous form, or leave your answer in the comments below!

Parents Are Sharing The Most Embarrassing Things Their Kids Have Ever Said Or Done, And Honestly I'm Laughing My Butt Off
Recently, Reddit user FarmhouseRules posted to the popular ask subreddit to ask people, "What's the most embarrassing thing your kids have ever said or done?" She shared her own story first, writing, "Once I was shopping at the grocery with my 5-year-old son in the cart. As we were going down the aisle we passed a woman going the other way. Right after we passed her, my son said, 'Mom that's the ugliest man I've ever seen.' I was mortified." NBC Other people shared some pretty legendarily embarrassing stories, too, and I was honestly cackling. Here are some of the absolute best: 1."I was at checkout in K-Mart with my then 5-year-old daughter. I was buying her purple marshmallow Peeps. She told the cashier that purple was her favorite color. I said she had a new favorite color every week. This embarrassed my daughter, who said loudly, 'Mom, you have a new favorite boyfriend every week!'" "I was mortified and tried to assure everyone in line that I'd been with my boyfriend for three years." —u/tlk2mch 2."'MY MOM LOVES COCK PORN.' (He meant popcorn.)" ABC —u/milkandsalsa 3."My wife, my son, and I were at Disneyland. My son was 3 at this point. He had finished potty training just a few weeks prior to this. During potty training, we would use positive reinforcement, elling him that he was doing a good job, etc. etc. One of the things I told him was that he was pooping Iike a man now." "So anyway, my wife and I both had to poop at the same time. And we both really had to go. There was no waiting happening here. We couldn't leave my son alone, so I took him with me. I picked the big stall so we would both have some room. So I started to do my business, and my son loudly says, 'Ewww Daddy, that's a man poop daddy. That's a man poop.' I'm trying to get him to be quiet, but he just keeps going: 'Good job on the poop, Daddy. But Daddy, it smells. That sure is a man poop, Daddy.' Everyone in the bathroom was snickering, and I was sitting there mortified. It's hilarious now, but not so much at the time." —u/rodimus147 4."My 2-year-old son and I were in line at Kohl's and the woman behind me had vitiligo (a condition that causes the pigment in your skin to discolor, completely resulting in very blotchy skin). My son looked at her and gasped and said, 'Oh wow, I LOVE your polka dots!'" "Fortunately, she laughed and was so kind and said, 'Why THANK YOU!' She was so gracious and what could have been embarrassing became such a sweet moment. Hilarious though." —u/Donut_Interesting 5."We were at the zoo when my son was probably 5 or 6. He had run ahead to look at the zebras. He turned around and screamed, 'Mom, you won't believe how big this zebra's dick is!' I deeply considered walking past him with no acknowledgment." —u/raven_darkseid 6."Took my 3-year-old in to work with me on a Saturday when the office was closed. My coworker was there. I introduced him to my daughter. She recognized his name from me always complaining about him, looked him in the eye, and asked him, 'Are you the one who doesn't know what he is doing?'" "So embarrassing! He wouldn't talk to me for weeks." —u/CatsRock25 7."We were on a trail in the Smoky Mountains and a park ranger with an eye patch was talking to us about bears. Right when we finished the conversation and started walking away, my son said, 'Mommy, we just talked to a pirate!'" —u/sweetpea813 8."Not my kid, but it was said to me. I was riding the elevator up to the OB/GYN floor with a very pregnant woman and her about 3-year-old son. He looked at my belly and excitedly asked if I was going to have a baby, too. His mother was 14 shades of red with nowhere to hide! I told him no, I was just fat. He gave me a sad face and said, 'Well, next year.'" —u/PhoneboothLynn 9."When my oldest was about a year and a half old in the grocery store, he pointed to a baby and said 'ugly baby' clear as day and very loud." —u/Slag_Queen_Tsunade 10."My son told my daughter that her penis fell off and that's why he was a boy and she was a girl. She was upset for weeks." —u/Big-Kaleidoscope-192 11."When my son was little, we took him to mass with us. When the priest was consecrating the communion wafer, my son loudly and clearly said, 'Hey, I want one of those potato chips!'" Quim Llenas / Cover/Getty Images, Fox / Via —u/grannygogo 12."My son, bless his heart, waited until everyone had bowed their heads to pray but before the priest started the prayer, and in that moment of blessed silence, piped up 'I gotta poop!' as loud as he could." AMC —u/Imcbmc 13."I was waiting in the crowd for my number to be called at the deli counter with my 5-year-old. It was National Dairy Month, and the grocery store had a huge inflatable cow suspended from the ceiling above us. My daughter looked up and announced at the top of her lungs, 'Look, Mom, that cow has four penises!' The crowd roared." —u/VicePrincipalNero 14."My daughter announced to her whole class that girls get brains and boys get a penis. That was a whole parent/teacher conference." —u/SatanicWhoreofHell 15."I was the mortifying kid: in the middle of a Catholic mass, during one of the silent parts, I looked up at a man next to us. I looked back at my mom and loudly said, 'Mom, why does his forehead go back so far?'" HBO / Via "I'm sure I was a blast to raise. 💀" —u/Gold_Bug_4055 16."We were at my grandfather's funeral with my then 3-year-old son. We had told him that great-grandpa was really old and that's why he died. We met my grandparents' neighbor, who I knew growing up, and she is about 90. When she walked away, my son said, 'She's really nice. It's too bad she'll be dead soon.'" Disney Channel / Via —u/Historical-Stop5083 17."When my son was 3, we lived in a pretty rough neighborhood. His favorite thing was just riding his tricycle up and down the sidewalk, completely safe. One day I heard him greeting people in the manner that people greeted him when they walked by. He said, 'Hey, motherfucker!'" Warner Bros. —u/miseeker 18."Around Thanksgiving, we walked past a very old woman and the 5-year-old stopped to ask her about conditions on the Mayflower." NBC —u/Samiru27 19."This is about me at 5 years old in 1975. My mom used to tell this story. My dad at that time liked to listen to Deanna Durbin records on the living room stereo. Her picture was on the fronts of the albums, and he liked to tell me he was listening to his 'girlfriend' singing." "My mom took me shopping at a department store. We were in the elevator when a lady came in. I looked at her and said, 'You look just like my dad's girlfriend!' My mom said she was really embarrassed. The lady gave her a funny look." —u/Alman54 20."My kid was 5-ish and had started calling hot dogs weiners. At the grocery store, she said, very loudly, 'Mommy likes wieners!'" BBC —u/tallant13 21."Our oldest was about 3, my wife was pregnant with our second, and we were at dinner with friends who had a toddler in a high chair. Said toddler had food everywhere!" "My child looked at me and asked if our baby was going to be like that baby because 'this one makes me gag.' There is no way out of that awkwardness!" —u/st_nick5 22."About 20 years ago when our son was 2, we were having a small dinner party with friends at our home, and he went into our bedroom closet and found one of my wife's (adult) toys. He came running into the living room and started banging it against the coffee table." NBC / Via —u/Proper_Actuary8980 23."My kid, at 4, could burp like a truck driver. Sitting in a restaurant, she let out this massive burp, dove under the table to hide, and 25 strangers turned around to stare at me with mild disgust." Bon Appétit —u/Witty_Jello_8470 finally, "My lovely 3-year-old likes to yell 'HELP ME!!!' at the top of her lungs when she doesn't get her way, and she tends to not get her way and yell that in grocery stores and other public places." —u/CrockyCroc Okay, IDK about you, but I'm laughing my ass off at some of these.

Woman Says Husband Is Being 'Gaslit' by His ‘Extremely Nosy' Mom, Who Is Constantly Crossing Boundaries on Her Visits
A woman who recently gave birth says her mother-in-law is gaslighting her husband and being "extremely nosy" In an anonymous Reddit post, she writes that her mother-in-law was insensitive during her hospital stay — and then tried to stay with the couple once she went home Now, she's thinking about going no-contact with her in-lawsA woman says her husband is being "gaslit" by his "extremely nosy" mother — and she's had enough. In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous woman writes that her mother-in-law "doesn't care two hoots about respecting boundaries," and often eats food off her son's plate, lies down in bed with him with their legs touching, and keeps her toothbrush in the couple's toothbrush holder when she comes to visit. The mother-in-law also criticizes the Reddit user's cooking skills and decorating choices — only to start "crying" when the poster "very politely" asks her to stop. "I had come to terms with the fact that she's a manipulative and stubborn gaslighter," she writes. But things changed after the woman's recent pregnancy, which was "complicated" by a rough delivery. "I developed paralytic ileus after delivery. My mother, my (pregnant) sister were there for me throughout the pregnancy and the hospital stay and my brother was there on phone throughout to uplift my morale," she writes, noting that they helped her deal with doctors and postpartum "blues." While her family provided her with "support, love, and endless care" throughout the process, her mother-in-law and husband only complained. is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! "She and her son would only talk of food and how the hospital restaurant doesn't have good tasting food," she writes, "and she would prepare food at home and get it daily for [my husband] and they would gorge on food while I would be lying in bed witn an RT tube down my nose and multiple IV lines." "She would talk to her relatives on phone shouting at top voice about how I have 'gas' due to poor eating habits and unnecessarily being kept there," she continues. "Also, she was extremely uncouth and rough with [my baby], shaking him so much while soothing him. I was sooooo scared everytime she lifted him." After she got home from the hospital, the mother-in-law asked to stay with the couple. The poster turned down the offer, only to be inundated with calls and texts asking to see the baby. The mother-in-law also told her son "not to bother about baby duties," because "he has to go to [the] office and needs rest." "Basically she wanted me to break down so that she would swoop in," the woman writes. On top of that, the poster's mother-in-law and sister-in-laws have been guilt-tripping her about her breastfeeding choices. Now, she wants to go no-contact with her in-laws, but is "apprehensive" that her husband is "not thinking straight." Reddit commenters weighed in on the situation, with many telling the woman she needs to distance herself from her husband's family — and maybe even him. "This is where you tell hubby he needs therapy or a divorce lawyer. His choice," one commenter wrote. "Girl you need to stand up for yourself. Firm, calm, firm. This is YOUR baby," another added.
