Week 8: Skinny Jeans

definition:  largely popular style of jeans worn mostly by the junior high, high school, and college age groups. they fit snugly around the waist and are tight around the thighs and calves, tapering down to the ankle. for guys they are a little looser in the crotch area. they were originally worn only by emos, skaters, punks, etc, but now 99% of the population owns at least one pair. however, they really only look good on about 3% of the population. short people, for instance, generally look even shorter when wearing skinny jeans. if you are tall and want to look shorter, wearing skinny jeans will not usually work. they're kind of complicated in that way.

short person: I wish I could wear skinny jeans, but they make me look even shorter than I already am!

(Skinny Jeans on guys)

I can't feel my legs! Skinny jeans are seen throughout our society as a popular jean option. I wish they would just go away. Seeing people wearing jeans that allow you to see the complete shape of their leg is not something I want, especially if it is a guy. I understand if you're a skater, or something of that nature, but other than that. I do not understand. Why you would want something that tight, especially as a guy is beyond me, I mean how about some breathing room?

(Skinny jeans rap)

They even have new rap songs coming out defending the skinny jeans movement. It's crazy. I guess it's something I will never understand fully.
