Interesting. So you are musically conservative as well? Close on Yoko. She was probably a Communist agent sent to take out MI5's band.

The advertizing campaign of grunge slacker aesthetics in the '90s was probably to expand Ritalin use. Speaking as a conservative and one who has been studying the decline of Western civilization, I don't get the baggy pants. What's that all about?

Footnote: Some of the conservative student journalists I wrote with in the '70s and '80s smoked pot and [horrors!] listened to Rock music. Fortunately, we elected Reagan. TWICE!. In '84 it was done to the tune of Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" as I recall. Memories are a little fuzzy. Too many beermares ago.

Are 'The Beatles' now conservative? Hmmm . . . I also like a bunch of 80's music.

As for the baggy pants during the 90s, I went to a nerd high school in NYC, and I could never figure why they were in fashion. They just were.

Bruce Springsteen made a big deal about Reagan invoking "Born in the U.S.A." in 1984. Springsteen, is a Democrat, and was pretty upset. You see Springsteen is a "regular Joe," that's why he lives in a mansion in New Jersey.

Well the baggy pants are a better cut. I don't were the super-obnoxious-baggy pants that Fubu or whatever makes, but especially when you wear boxers, regular cut or even relax fit are uncomfortable.

LOL the 90s dress, yes in High School I was a freak with hair down to my shoulders with the whole baggy pants barily hanging on with my Kurt Cobain Death Certificate T-Shirt. Oh don't forget the fannel shirt either. Boy! have I grown up big time. :P

Modeled after institutional wear (ie. prison togs).
