Going through highschool in 80's I kinda liked the look. Some girls could really pull it off, Guess jeans with no back pockets on a highschool girl was HOT.

I must win every thread in GBS. I don't care how much banal semantic quibbling and shitty posts it takes.
If anything, people are less attractive now since a higher percentage are fatties. Fashion is what you're really wondering about. A beautiful person will be beautiful regardless of what they're wearing.

80s had perms, shoulder pads, and everyone dressing like middle aged women. Even today's poo poo tattoos and gaping ear holes can't compare to that horror.

Any style or fashion is gonna look fine when everyone is wearing it, so basically you have to base it on the body types rather than clothes. As we've been consistently getting fatter you could conclude that the most recent decade is always the ugliest.

theory

if acid washed jeans are present in any great percentage in a given period of time, it is also very likely an ugly period of time in terms of everything else

Yeah, this is truth. If you have a different opinion it's probably because you are a literal child and have no frame of reference.

Put the checkboxes up to 99 because lotsa girls still had jungle bush back then which is bad.

The late to mid 80's were the peak of ugly. Every article of clothing was designed to be unflattering and dull. Even heart throb women were expected to have sharp man-like features and no asses. For men, the mullet and mustache were the in thing, perhaps the least attractive thing a man can don. Anyone that says today is the ugliest has no loving clue. Today, even fatty women can wear things that give the illusion of being attractive and hot women are really loving hot.

Though, as my little pet idea, I surmise that common fashion hasn't changed drastically since about 1998 except for some outlier stuff. Hell, even saggy pants are in style still.

This, I have no loving idea what they were thinking with the music, fashion, cars, etc. I mean if you go back and look at those things in the 20s or 50s or any other decade you can at least understand the appeal. I cannot understand the appeal of Rick Astley, feathered hair, and lovely box-shaped cars.

That's pretty true for most normal people. However around 2005 things did get kinda dumb. Women wore clothes that were too big and men wore clothes that were too small. There was the Depression-chic that hipsters co-opted for a while and that was pretty bad. They eventually moved on to late 80s early 90s neon poo poo, but the damage was done. As for your theory on the 80s being peak ugly, well you're wrong. It wasn't great, but it wasn't the worst.

yeah it's interesting how the 60s, 70s, 80s, and even 90s are pretty well defined decade to decade but what is the difference between 2002 and 2008 and now really? not much. refinements of previous things and ironic wearing of things but otherwise...

2002 seemed to be the time that the skinny jeans/ugg boot look really took off. Shopping vintage became very big around that time, especially the 80s revival, and there were short lived trends such as nu-rave. There are certain looks I'd definitely place in the 00s.
