I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE

TightBlack

MAYBE I'M OLD or something, but 'What is with these kids these days and their tight black jeans?' I mean seriously? It is not a good look. And here is why: Tight pants only look good on REALLY skinny people. I'm talking really-skinny-no-ass people. Otherwise because they're tight down to your ankles they make your butt look big. Seriously. Your butt DOES look fat in those jeans. Even if you are a tight-bodied young hipster.

Ok. So maybe I'm an old man who is out of touch with the world and am just realising it now. BUT seriously they make your butt look big. I think they're cool though and I wish I could wear them, but no, big-buttedness stops me!

On the other hand we're presented with another 2 problems.

Problem 1. Guys wear them too. And that's fine I guess. I'm all for androgenous fashion! All for it! But the problem of MALE CAMEL-TOE is not something that should be ignored! Or can be ignored for that matter. Ok fine, they may be cylists but the effect is much the same.

Cyclists

Problem 2. A quote from Tanner: "Chicks look great in those tight pants. Guys however, also look great." Hmm. Repressed sexuality issues aside the fact that guys have thinner hips and are more suited to tighter pants is somewhat disturbing. Showing off your body is fine, but I don't want to walk to Hungry Jacks in the Mayer Centre and be bombarded by denim covered asses. Guy or girls!

The rant makes no sense, and is entirely invalid. But yeah. It's been bugging me.

hahaha...i guess even guys talk about those skinny black jeans. I don't understand them either, maybe its because im not cool enough, or fashionable enough to. I've always wondered how you would even get into them in the first place, they look like they'd involve a bit of sucking in of the gut if you ask me. As for guys looking good in them...hmmmm, i dont know about that, i've seen guys wearing them and to be honest it makes some of them look like chicks. :)

They look hot and you are prob just going on like this becuase you tried them on and they don't suit you so now you are having a winge about it.

PS. Blah; if they really do look hot, I challenge you to PROVE IT! Send a photo of you or whoever you reckon looks hot in those jeans and the readers can vote on it.

This whole skinny black jean thing started just past the 60's, you will find them looking fashionable on old school bands such as; The Cars and The Ramones (which is where the trend actually caught on hardcore. They can get away with it. However, these days there are bands that are somewhat inspired by The Ramones ect. bands being new age garage music such as; The Strokes, Kings of Leon. You will find these bands and their fans are the ones who in my opinion get away with it because: 1) They don't wear skinny black jeans whilst having jet black fake hear, 2) A combover that covers their entire face. 3) Excessive amounts of black eye liner/ red make up. 4) They don't have emo bands printed on their shirts such as; Thursday, I killed the prom queen, Amittyville, The Used or My Chemical Romance, 4) They don't have fucking disgusting mullets that we see the young girls have. 5) No studded belt. Maybe the thing you don't understand is the "all of a sudden" trend to be emo! I mean it is apparently so hot right now to slit your wrists and dwell on how fucked up your life is by knitting a sweater. Most of the people today that are wearing skinny black jeans are skegs, ex supre skanks and loser kids who don't have a mind of their own. From these characteristics you can definately tell a poser from a person who wears them cause they actually just like old school black jeans.
Just think....that is all.

Ahh Benji, once again you are a source of great wisdom when it comes to emo-ness. That's for the rant. Sums it all up perfectly, while neatly sidestepping my main complaint about big butts. Nicely done.

those girl mullets are totally gross by the way. totally. not attractive at all. pony-tails! or soft curls. i cut my own hair and it looks utter crap, a hot girl who pays lots of money to look like she cut her own hair is not right. so hot. and yet the hotness goes to waste with a girl mullet.

Also you will find the people that look like they have big butts in them have probably bought them two sizes too small. Alot of people think that just because they are "Skinny black jeans" that they have to be below a size 12 when in reality they come in ALL sizes. If you don't want your butt to look fat in them wear the right size, it's simple.
