I feel like maybe around 2012 the whole concept of eras died.

Like I can clearly visualize items/people/media from the 60s/70s/80s/90s/00's, but everything is homogenized now and there's really no "style of the time" either. I think everything from 2013+ will just be remembered as a malaise era, if anything. Maybe the style of the 2050's will be post cyberpunk apocalyptic? I have no idea.

In the late 1970's bell bottoms went out of style.

In the 1990's a different style of bell-bottoms became fashionable again for women in particular.

In the 1990's a popular look was the giant baggy jeans like JNCOs, which were technically a type of "bell-bottom."

In the 2020's, big giant baggy jeans like JNCOs are back in style again.

Further, did everyone forget the entire scene kid/emo kid styles of the early 2000's because that style was very unique and I don't see anyone who looks like this these days.

Haircuts like this were the thing in the early 2000's for women and men until about 2010ish when everyone put their three wolf t-shirts up in the closet and cringed at why they thought being ironic cringe was so great.

Both the 1980's and early 2000's were "skinny jeans" eras.

Just like how the broccoli headed boys are a thing for the 2020's.

And even the broccoli head boys are a natural re-occurence of the permed haircuts in the 1980's

I can think of plenty more examples but these are just a few.

Scene girls were my favorite.

Just had to keep them away from razor blades.

Oh emo's gonna come back someday. And along with it, I fully expect these to comeback to.

Very astute and the whale tails themselves were a consequence of the low rise jeans era for women where now we are in a high waist jeans era for women.

Low rise jeans are making a comeback, I bought a couple pair recently because I prefer the low vs high rise, I hate high rise so much. They are definitely not the ultra low rise of my youth, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this style also comes back eventually.
