And Millennials are not taking the online mockery they are receiving from their younger counterparts very well. Some have even fired back with tweets that rebuke these changing trends. Gen Z just doesn t realize yet that what start out as regular jeans in your 20s often become skinny jeans in your 30s entirely on their own, joked comedy writer and children’s book author Jill Twiss on Valentine’s Day.
A more recent tweet from the editor-in-chief of Baltimore Magazine, Max Weiss, expressed resistance to the style change from a financial perspective. I’ve always been a fan of bellbottoms, so I resisted skinny jeans for a long time. Now I have a closet full of skinny jeans, Weiss playfully wrote on Monday. Not only do I like the way they look, they were a freaking investment. You’ll take my skinny jeans from my cold dead thighs, Gen Z!
