I love how everything is connected. I used to think fashion was just random, but after watching a lot of these video essays, there really are fashion cycles. Would love to see a video about the 2008ish emo/scene fashion scene!

It's so true. Everything is tied to something else, in a crazy cyclical web. Fashion is insane, and I love it. ❤

this was my childhood in the early 2000s. pop punk was everywhere specially in movies and video games. i loved dressing like this when i was 11~16 in school lmao

Right there with yaaa. My grade school uniform was a white collared top, flared jeans, converse or vans, a 99 cent store stripey tie, a ratty old leather Hot Topic stud bracelet from my brother, and a goth choker from one of his friends. I was over the moon about that damn outfit. 😆❤

do a video on skate fashion. Alot of skate fashion developed from practicality rather than aesthetic, the baggy clothes were easy to move in and the shoes were selected for "board-feel" and agility for tricks. Also derived from hip-hop culture. I think it would be cool to see that such a popular aesthetic came from a rebellious sport for the sake of practicality rather than specifically a message like punk or goth.

Not me realising I followed every damn aesthetic you've covered at one point or another 😂

I was a mix of Avril Lavigne style and the coconut girl in high school. I would wear studded belts, fat tongue skate shoes, and a black Roxy shirt with and long sleeve underneath. My high school sweetheart dressed exactly like Tom Delonge from Blink. Haha...this takes me back. I still wear Volcom and Billabong, but I think it's because I'm a snowboarder and live in Tahoe. Skate brands are still very prevalent if you are still skating, surfing, or snowboarding. I don't think these brands are as popular as they were in the early 2000's.

Avril Lavigne, Ashlee Simpson, Fifi Dobson, and Skye Ferrrera all had a chokehold on us in the mid 2000s with their sleek straight hair (usually in a bob) and dark black kajal eyeliner. Punks didn’t like kohl because kohl had a firmer texture resulting in less smudging unlike the super smudgy kajal eyeliner. Essence Kajal Eye Pencil in Black will give you that messy and smudgy look punks love all for $1.99! I was born and raised in SoCal and skate punks dominated this area. I grew up in OC where Huntington Beach is, which is where arguably skate punk style began. You couldn’t go anywhere in 2004 without seeing a white guy with spiky hair, long shorts, Etnies, high white socks, and Billabong shirt. Go to the Inland Empire (Riverside) and white trash galore in lifted trucks with Metal Mulisha decals were the rage.

essence kajal eye pencil is such an underrated product and for a cheap price love it sm for that smudged look, i use this for YEARS. but to seal it off like for a solifided look, sephora 12H Colorful Contour Eye Pencil Waterproof Eyeliner is a great one too!

Thanks for mentioning Fefe Dobson!

great video. just wanted to add that chicanas in california (mainly cholas) wore black jelly bracelets in the 70’s and 80’s as well. they wore them intricately interwoven around the fingers, hands and wrists. you can see references of the different styles in magazines like “teen angels.” the cloth-wear or canvas belts you mentioned were and continue to be extremely popular amongst chicanos/cholos in california too. often with old english initial(s) cut outs on the metal belt buckle itself. I wonder if those styles influenced the skate punk aesthetic since the two communities are often within extremely close physical proximity

OMGGGG I am so glad I found your channel! You’re my favourite now 😝💜

thank you sm

I would love to see your take on scene style/aesthetic

I love pop punk. It definitely defined the 2000s.

Loved your explanation of the mohawk. You got it exactly right and puts everything I had to research on my own in a single place

Avril and greenday have always held a special place in my heart 🖤 my gateway to all rock and alternative music subcultures. My emo little heart would have had nothing to latch onto if this aesthetic hadn't gotten so incredibly popular. The mcbling and preppy styles and music never did it for me, so I'm glad there was another option that I ended up falling in love with.

i love your videos please post more!

This is the true roots of modern day fashion

Mohawk style in Poland is called "irokez" (like "Iroquis"). I love that You used Polish movie as reference for Cossack hairstyle - It's "With fire and sword" and take place during times of Zaporozhian Sich.

Your videos are AMAZING! Thank you so much for all your hard work on them, it does not go unnoticed! 💖☺️

omg its here

Just want to state that your videos are well done, researched, while fascinating!!! Thank you!

Such a great video! Ot was my early youth😍please continue making your great content. I'd appreciate the video about grunge.

I mean, dickies shorts are just well made shorts. And T-shirts are comfy. And yes i wear sneakers for comfort too. What I'm saying is I still dress this way.

This was my aesthetic in middle/high school

As an indie girlina I haaaaated pop punk in its heyday but this was edifying!

a mini skirt over pants was my main aesthetic in junior high school (2003). Wide leg jeans and a plaid skirt. Maybe it was a way to hide the shape of my body and rebel against the sexualization of being in just a skirt alone. But then again, my favorite look was wearing purple fishnets on the left leg and purple and black striped stockings on the right leg with a short skirt. People often yelled "Avril" at me. I had a pop-punk/goth style. Definitely accessorized with ties, jelly bracelets, necklaces, etc.

love this

Fun Fact: Sxx Pistols was a casted Band to Promoter Vivienne Westwoods Designs.... It was all about Provokation. And I love it!

Thank you for the video! This helps with my research on the late '90s/early 2000s style. I love the interconnection of influences (and how one aesthetic is a reaction to another). It would be interesting in a future video to see a more in-depth video on punk from 1990-2000. There is a whole lot of potential in talking not just about the aesthetic of the time but the technology too. ___ "Yes that's right, punk is dead, It's just another cheap product for the consumers head. Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors, Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters. CBS promote the Clash, But it ain't for revolution, it's just for cash. Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be And it ain't got a thing to do with you or me."

Pop-punk forever ♾️

First of all, thanks for giving a nod to the DIY punks that are still kicking around. A few notes, tho. First of all, it's Mc-Lay-Ren. Also, cloth belts (and combat boots, military jackets, etc) weren't a 'punk subversion of authoritarian fashion'. Sorry, it wasn't that deep. In the 70s and 80s, besides places like Salvation Army, best place to find durable and cheap clothes was at military surplus stores.Much like zoot suits basically coming from oversized suits of older family members, the 'fashion' stemmed more from necessity than from any political ideal. Also, we didn't wear eye-liner and nail polish to 'rebel against gender expectations', we did it to piss people off...a subtle difference, I know, but it's a big difference. We weren't doing college level gender studies subversion tactics...we just knew it would piss people off, like the original Westwood punks with their swastikas which went by the wayside REAL quick, once we started taking sides.

Plz talk about scene

Punk = young people are angry. For all the right reasons. So let's Party. Like a german Band sang: "Dance to destroy what destroys you"

Etnies were also really popular

1:47 GREEN DAY SPOTTED! RAHHHH 🗣️🗣️

God every aesthetic in the 2000s was a cheesier version of a better aesthetic in the 70s or 80s

Good Charlotte, shrunken hoodies,Avril, and ironic tees from old navy. This was not a golden age. This was a tragic moment in punk history.
