to be fair, i think the high school pack was designed in part to be explicitly cringe and a little over the top. like what you love and wear and decorate with as a teen is something that in 5 years everyone looks back and is like "why on earth did i wear that"
I think it’s just the current trends for teens. It was meant to appeal to the younger audience. When I was in HS it was all about minimalism, nike air forces, denim skirts, and doc martens. It’ll definitely age poorly just like every trend until it comes back in style lol
True, but I also feel like the high school pack had a SUPER specific style that probably doesn't accurately portray what most teens are wearing these days, or at least where i'm from. Truthfully, it gave me the same vibes as what they wear in the show Sex Education, rather than anything i've seen in real life. Mind you, maybe this is just what American teens wear and I'm not American so would have no idea. So I feel like because it wasn't actually that realistic and was super over the top it makes it age WORSE, even if that was a conscious decision by the sims team.
Tbh though i do think todays clothing and design trends for teens nowadays are cuter and more flattering. Early 2010s stuff are cringe just because they are ugly and were always ugly. Moustaches and pineapples on everything was never cute it was just considered a mindless trend. Trends nowadays follow fashion rules and are made to be more aesthetic
Idgaf if the pastel kit becomes cringe, this is the founding furniture of every teenage girl's bedroom I've made in the past year. It will never age to me, my little autistic brain thinks it's too lovely to let go! The color palette absolutely SLAYS.
As a former moustache girl turning 30 next year, I hope the mushrooms stay as they are more adorable, but also I agree that most of these things will soon go the way of the owl necklace..
How does this kind of thing even happen? Like I didn't even realise this was a thing at the time, but moustaches, owl necklaces, the brass octopus, the lot. I turned 30 in September 😂
I remember people calling things cringe and then wearing them again in 10 years. This is why older people stop giving a damn about being fashionable, we know it's temporary. I love wearing skater skirts, they look great on me, even if they were last fashionable in the 2010s
Definitely agree with you there! I’m 34 and I got to the ‘fuck it, I like it’ stage a few years ago. I have my own unique style and it changes with my mood but I will always wear what makes me happy over what’s in fashion. I can’t keep up with fashion 😂 that’s a young persons game imo
I’m old enough that I’ve seen some of these trends become popular a few times. 😂 I really wanted wicker furniture around 1990, because my aunt had this huge dish-like wicker chair. And it’s come back into style at least twice since then.
2012 tumblr style never went out for me, I genuinely have loved it ever since 😅 now I’m starting see pieces of it come back into style and all I can think is “I knew it” hahahaha
I was born not giving a damn. I will happily wear the exact same thing forever if it fits & is comfy. I found the Lyra dress by Lady V London and now the only thing that stops me looking like a cartoon character who wears the same thing all the time is that the keep bringing it out in different prints. They make up 95% of my wardrobe now. I would still be wearing my skater dresses if I hadn't gained enough weight they no longer fit me.
Coming from Hawaii, I think we'd never let wicker or rattan furniture go out of style! They're some of the most practical pieces for outdoor uses in a humid, tropical environment. I've seen so many brides use wicker and rattan chairs for photos too. It will definitely stick around IRL for us!
@@bunnyjeans. Hi! So, I did some research since I only knew the aesthetic purposes of both. Rattan appears to be a popular eco-friendly option for outdoor use since it's naturally water resistant and resistant to fading in the sun. While wicker is common in its modern make since they use polyethylene strips over natural materials that degrade over time. Both are easy to maintain and long lasting options, if well taken care of! Hope this answers your question.
I love that being a cringey teenager will never die. Some of this stuff we think is cool now but soon we’ll look back and think “what the hell” I can’t wait honestly!!
I don't even know what's "in" 😅 Pretty much all of this stuff I thought WASN'T in fashion and just assumed that we had decided to embrace cringeyness....
The only draw back to wearing what you love: it goes out of style and then no one carries it and you have to wait until they come back instyle to beable to get more.
@@kellysueballard7654yup!! i love high-rise wide leg jeans and even just this year there were significantly fewer than in 2020-2021. in fact i ended up buying straight leg bc there were so few high-rise jeans with the wide leg
Fun Fact! Maximalism and minimalism run on a cycle that used to be more closely related to generations growing up and wanting to be the exact opposite of their parents. But, with the growth of more niche fashion styles in the public eye this has both accelerated and disappeared depending on where you look. (ex. makeup/fashion vs interior design) As someone who looks best in a flared jean and hates all things skinny jeans (my calves are not made to be touched by denim!!) I'm hopeful that we'll see a bigger variety from here on out to accommodate everyone's favourites/body types. Edit to add: Portobellos and white mushrooms are the same fungus grown to different sizes. The middle size is called Crimini. Portobello was renamed in the 70s or 80s to try and hype up sales by making it seem fancy. And it worked.
I have to say, I love it when things age badly (not in THAT way ofc) because it can be such a time capsule. And I just, I adore that. It gives it Personality
there are clothes/items in the sims 4 which have NEVER been fashionable and look shit in all situations and make me wonder what parallel dimension of dag kitch the asset designer was channeling...
Like all the too short trousers tgat make it look like the poor sims have all had sudden growth spurts and couldn't afford new trousers that properly fitted past the ankle bone. That's never been fashionable, its always just been a sign of poverty. And yet it makes up the vast majority of trouser lengths in Sims 4. Perhaps it only bugs me because of how much I got bullied as a teen for not having long enough trousers when it was remarkably hard to find 34" inseams that fit my waist & hips (so couldn't wear men's fit which did come in that length). So many places making 32" their "long" and now I am seeing places say 30" is long when that used to be short. I'm not even that tall, I'm only 5 ft 6". But yeah, I can't let my sims ho through that so they all end up in the same 2 styles of trousers.
@@AlexaFaie Cropped pants was in fashinon a few years ago. I remember people would roll them up to show more of the ankle with no socks. When the game was released in 2014 it was a trend.
TS4 is really a horrible mix of 2010s and 2020s fashion. Like, the stuff that trends, not the stuff people actually wear. Atleast TS2 and TS3 had clothes people actually wore, even if it was unique or niche
I don't think mushrooms are ever going to feel as bad as mustaches. It might be at the level of our former obsession with pineapples, but nothing could be as bad as the mustache craze.
Mushrooms have been used in decor for literal centuries. The mustache thing was so twee. Like it was more quirk than anything aesthetically appealing which is why it went and probably Wong be back. Mushrooms are nature and nature is timeless.
@@pinkdarkman they are but not as decore lol. Like if somebody said "yeah I redid my living room with an all natural theme" you'd flip if you went in and it was mustaches top to bottom 😂
I love how the hanging wicker chairs have around a 12 year cycle to come back in cause it was mid 60's then late 70's then early 90's then a bit of a lull and then back and then 12 ish years later back again. Really we hang onto anything we love long enough we'll re-fall in love with it again if it's good is what I'm learning. Love HSY for the BB content. so. dang. good!
Hopefully cottage core doesn’t go out of fashion, but becomes a less popular but still alive counterculture, like rockabilly or goth. Also as I’ve gotten older, I view trends as a menu of items to add to my personal style if I like them. And keep wearing them even when they are no longer trendy.
Who cares if it's in fashion or not? If you like cottage core ten years from now, but the rest of the world moves on, keep wearing it! Besides, cottage core will always look good. I've neen transitioning my wardrobe to vintage and cottage core because I think it's so much more elegant, classy, and body flattering than the bland, shapeless things we wear today. Forget the haters, wear what makes your heart happy!
@@daytonapeanuti agree but the issue is that unfortunately if cottagecore goes out of style then cottagecore style clothing will become incredibly difficult to find.
@@daytonapeanut I dont know which cottage core looks you are thinking but I always saw this style as a cosplay of a farm girl. A look designed to take photos and post on pinterest. I never saw someone wearing that kind of stuff irl.
I love this approach!!! I've always loved Dirndl-style dresses and peter pan collars and such, and cottage core basically makes it easier for me to find those things.
I love that you shared your experience of being unrecognised as autistic initially, so many (women and girls especially) will relate to this. My whole family is autistic and it's so true that it can make the differences less noticed! It can cause chaos when we have differences that clash, but at other times it's good being in a family that's gets you 😊
1:03 I love that you don’t have a cat cam, you just zoom in on the cat if it enters the frame. It’s what my eyes are gonna do anyway so I appreciate it
6:30 When I was studying abroad in the UK in 2006 the "Boho look" was all the rage. Women were paying hundreds for cowboy boots, and it was madness. I grew up riding, "Western". I had a few pairs of cowboy boots, but didnt wear them as fashion. Some people I knew did. They are timeless, for some. But you couldnt catch me in them, out and about. Not since I was 9yo. 😅
Would love to see a another video with a similar concept, but flipped. You look at items from pre 2020 sims packs that have stayed timeless and are still just as cute and useful today as they were when they got added.
We can talk about this, but i tried playing sims 2 again a couple years ago and couldnt stop dying over the dated early 00s fashion...needless to say im sure this will happen again in 15 years from now when i go back to sims 4 for nostalgia. But also, i grew up with those sears mushroom canisters and my parents were just obsessed with mushroom decorations so, i never see them going out. Wicker? I love it, im spiritually an old lady.
As someone with a fly agaric tattoo that I got this year, I think you are absolutely on the money with it being the early 2020s version of the moustache. I love the toadstool/cottage core aesthetic so much but it is 100% gonna be cringe come the end of the decade 😂
15:29 the Floaty Egg Chair 😭 I remember wanting one SO BAD as a child. I’d sit in the display one at Pier 21 every time my grandma brought me there, and that place closed years ago lmao. Oh to have a floaty egg chair
Im someone who doesn’t bother much with clothes, like I have five shirts and two pairs of jeans. But, I love watching things come in and out of fashion, I think it always reflects the state of the world to some extent. Like, during covid, baggy stuff and tracksuits seemed popular because they were comfy for everyone chilling at home. I remember in 2008, upcycling and cutting up things was popular because of the recession. It’s just always an interesting thing to look at.
I view pop pastel kit is absolutely going to age badly but will come back in 30 yrs. The reason for this is pop pastel is inspired by 80s post modernism nostalgic. If you were to look at a lot of '80s style Memphis interior you can see the influence. The difference is that the colors were brighter, not pastel. Also, liminal spaces help contribute to this aesthetic. And the 1980s were more inspired by some 1950s aesthetics so this is where I get the 30 years from. Of course, the internet age speeds time up it seems like there's always a seemingly new trend. So 30 years could be a much shorter span of time. So 30 years of internet type could be like 3 years. However, I see that it'll be a different carnation. It'll either be muted colors "muted pop" like millennial gray come back in fun patterns, or it will be a dark pop version , revived by goths. Honestly, I think that would be a really cool, a dark pop aesthetic. I can honestly really picture it.
There already has been one, there's the whole pastel goth aesthetic and you also see it in Elegant Gothic Lolita styles which sometimes use more of the pastel Lolita colour scheme just teamed with a neovictorian gothic lolita (for the latter look up the brand FanPlusFriend).
@@AlexaFaie pastel goth I remember that. Yes I'm aware of it but I wasn't that more clothing usually and it's not quite the same thing as what I imagine. The closest you would actually get to that is if you were to look at say Beetlejuice. In the Beetlejuice movie, they combined the contemporary era of the times of postmodernism. Pastel pop gets inspiration from postmodernism decor like Memphis style. But one these postmodernism I can't remember the architect's name. But there was also a kind of child-likeness, to have big chunky blocks brightly colored a lot of buildings in the 80s and '90s had that aesthetic, in North America. The kind of last remaining or what people remember of the dead malls. So think more like blocks like big blocks of Legos, playful but dark, liminal. But I can definitely see why you can connect to those thoughts. I almost thought about talking about pastel goth, Lolita because it tends to be more quiet like kawaii. * Also want to add I can see at your Victorian connection, Victorian style homes were considered very over the top, especially once they were no longer popular and more modern architecture and interior design became. And then it was seen as old fashioned. *An interestingly, enough if you look into say like the Addams family history, why did the Victorian home it was already seen as old fashioned, haunted. And thus, this one of inspiration a lot of goth culture.
I strongly recommend a CC Loading Screen and a CC Plumbob color for Sims 4 so you can mix and match to your heart's content. You can only have ONE of each in your Mods folder at any given time but you can get a bunch, keep them in a folder elsewhere, and cycle them out whenever you want between game sess ions. I've had the same one for over a year now but it's a really soothing night scene on a roof top and a black plumbob because the blue was a little bit too much. You can get custom holiday designs this way!
One last time! TheFeyQueenMini has Colorful Plumbobs and PRIDE Plumbobs (I spent at least two hours looking.) NC4T has one that makes the plumbob invisible, for when it blocks beautiful art, but I haven't tried it yet. UARGO4 and Goddess_Gamez have the LS BG over ride. There is a tutorial on how to create your own LS BG with S4S but I've never tried that.
honestly the time capsule vibes of the older sims games is why I love going back to play them so much. Sims 2 is such a nostalgic glimpse into the early 2000s for me. Im sure in time Sims 4 with be aa time capsule of now too.
considering the fact that some of the original basegame stuff has already come back into the trend cycle (cough extreme lowrise jeans cough) i think we can all agree nothing is sacred 💀
You’re so right about fashion getting boring again. I entered the office 2 years ago and when I first started finding my ~professional~ style, I was looking at all fun colors and patterns. Now, everything I’m looking at is black or solid neon
The 'best' part about most of fast fashion neons is that most of the colours bleed horribly, how are people supposed to wash it and not destroy earth more (tbh buying trendy pieces from fast fashion brands is already a bad idea environmentally, but I get that not everyone is rich enough to buy sustainable clothing, especially if you're paying 40 dollars for a trendy t-shirt that will look weird in a year) and to achieve this neon they have to mix poliester or make a garment entirely out of it. So the black part is boring but makes sense, I never understood neons, just why.
It hurts me with the mushrooms, bc the merry mushroom collection was big in kitchens in the 80’s / 90’s. My grandmother had the wallpaper and EVERYTHING. Then it went out of style, and now it’s back. People pay hundreds of dollars for those vintage dishes and pieces of the kitchen collections. So that’s probably what’s gonna happen again 🥲
Me personally, I don't think maximalism will ever age badly. Like it's such a timeless style that it'll always be present and pleasant in some aspect like people will always go I've always wanted a pink bedroom but wasn't allowed/ couldn't afford one but now I've got adult money and this is for the nostalgia. It's like how minimalism will always be a timeless aesthetic, so will maximalism
Maximalism is not a specific style more a combination of extravagant design and bold colors. Is hard to say how dated it look because there isnt a specif time period it was the main trend.
You highlight the layered goth top, and...that's been a style for *decades* - that one is timeless. I'm 35 and that's been a style since before I was born, and it remains a style that I like, and is a style I've seen my Gen Z cousins wear, too! It's far from cringe, and has never gone out of style! Who hates a nice tee over a long sleeved shirt? Now, wearing a crop top over a sweater is...undeniably cringe.
I dont really hate it but i never know how to decorate spaces with it, like there are so many other mirrors in the game that i think are way cuter so i naturally default to those onez
I feel like the neutral colour ways in the pastel pop kit really help it have more longevity. I always (ALWAYS) use the white version of the little couch.
The worst thing for me is that you still can't have properly working mixed race sims in the game. You still only can pick one UI for the occults and even then you have to pray game doesn't break on you.
i agree i feel like anything thats strongly tied to or emblematic of a particular style in time becomes "cringy" when it goes out of fashion but i think that makes it cool like i love when i look at a picture and can immediately tell the year its from bc of the aesthetics also trend cycles are going by quicker so everything will be cool again soon
😭Elder millennial here who still loves lattice pattern. Also when my husband and I first shacked up we were given some rattan furniture that I HATED. This was 2010ish and we just put it on the curb when we were done with it. PS, thank you Declan for the kitty close-ups
i love stuff like this, it makes the sims feel like a time capsule! ive only been playing sims 2 lately so seeing "outdated" stuff is so fun and makes me feel like im in the early 2000s lol
The mushroom stool reminds me of The Sims Makin' Magic. I miss the craziness of that pack. I especially miss the Rollercoaster stuff. The meat grinder wand charger cauldron. The travel Hole. I miss that so much, and that mushroom stool ALWAYS reminds me of it.
You said is the mushroom the moustache of our generation and I felt a chill run through me. I love mushrooms! But then... Did I also have a moustache t-shirt? And a moustache necklace? Of course.
I agree with everything you mentioned (a lot of them especially the pastel wavy stuff I’m already super over it) however the wicker chair in my experience is one of those things that’s always nice even if not trendy, like you said it’s about where it is in the house and not a lot have a conservatory but when they do… and when it’s got one of those chairs… it’s always nice lol
I have so much money invested into sims 4 I may never switch to sims 5 which means I can just wait for all the styles to circle back as they always do 😂
i hate rattan. i love wicker with the weave in it. in america rattan is made of plastic and bought at walmart and everyone has them in their back yard and i hate them
Mushrooms are such an obsession the department store I work at has had no less than 3 different types of decorative mushrooms in the Christmas merch. And yes one of them was a white fuzzy top like faux snow. Super cute but agreed we’re in a mushroom epidemic
Loving your early morning energy 😊 yes, fly agaric grow under beech trees in UK, best found Sept/Oct. Alice in Wonderlands mushroom from the caterpillar may be these as they are considered hallucinagenic (also toxic)
I feel like this might be the weirdest comment to leave ever but i've gotta recommend "chicken of the woods" mushrooms to anyone who likes mushrooms like portabellos but is kinda mushroom picky. I wasn't a mushroom fan until i had these, coated and fried. Also... no idea what a conservatory is except from clue XD
i love 1950s-1980s style but not the modern adaptation of it 😅 like i love flared jeans with /without pattern, love the corduroy, love the weird denim tops with pattern, love the dresses and the boots... but the modern adaptation something about it just doesnt seem right because of the conflicting styles (but this is just what i have seen around in the past 2 years) also i hate the layering of shirts for 90% of people
idk if you have adhd plumbella, but my adhd ass relates extremely hard to your... everything. i LOVE waking up at the crack of dawn. thanks for the video mother hen x
"i think mesh is on the way out" broke my heart a little bc im transmasc and ive always wanted to wear mesh but never had the confidence or lack of tits to do so honestly i couldve just stopped it at "im transmasc" but-
I also think we now, have more eclectic styles across the globe. People wear things from so many different decades and combine styles. So many people wear what they want now and I love that.
I mean, let’s be real: a lot of the OG base game items have already passed that milestone. That strapless dress with the spikes under the bust? SO 2014.
I love the way new ASD diagnoses lead to digging stuff up back in the family tree. My sister was the first person in our family diagnosed, and it was only after that that BOTH of my grandparents got themselves diagnosed when they realized, Hey, I'm also kinda like that.
I do agree with a lot of these, but I also think we've definitely entered an era of "Like what you like and own it" like, with clothes and decoration styles. It's like the whole "kill not the part of you that's cringe, kill the part that cringes" mentality. So I agree that a lot of these things may not be as trendy, but I don't think there'll ever be quite as aggressive a feeling of things being out of style
portobello, white button, and cremini (the brown buttons) are the exact same mushroom! they are just different sizes and colours bc they were harvested at different times. also the red mushrooms with white spots are poisonous!
Owl necklaces, peace symbol earrings, smiley faces and ying yang keychains. Mood rings. Chunky plastic rings. Neon belts, socks, jewellery. Mustache stickers in galaxy print. Infinity symbol bracelets. Tumblr was the breeding ground for all of it.
@@psychedelic.dreamer I never said they were new. Of course all of those were around waaaayyyy before tumblr lol. Before you or I were alive. However those symbols all together and in conjunction with what I said such as neon colors, chunky plastic and galaxy print, are often associated with 2005-2013. At least for myself it is and for many people I know. (Anecdotal evidence of course, I have nothing else to back up my claims other than my own findings.) but anyway it’s honestly not as deep as I’m making it out to be right now lol.
One of the best things about things no longer being 'trendy' irl is you can buy them at a steep discount and enjoy them if you honestly love them afterwards. I've seen so many things go in and out of fashion and I've had the same likes my entire life, aesthetically.
it’s exciting too! playing the sims 2 and seeing low rise jeans and multi layer tees is so cute! seeing all the clothes and items i was obsessed with as a kid, that i wouldn’t look twice at without the nostalgia 🥹
I love mushrooms so much... but yeah.... the classic red spotted mushroom (or if you're a fungi nerd, Amanita Muscaria) is DEFINITELY going to be like the cacti / succulent + owl necklaces in like 3 years for sure
to be fair, i think the high school pack was designed in part to be explicitly cringe and a little over the top. like what you love and wear and decorate with as a teen is something that in 5 years everyone looks back and is like "why on earth did i wear that"
I think it’s just the current trends for teens. It was meant to appeal to the younger audience. When I was in HS it was all about minimalism, nike air forces, denim skirts, and doc martens. It’ll definitely age poorly just like every trend until it comes back in style lol
I love the hsy outfits
This exactly. Things aimed at teens are going to be super trendy and heightened aspects of any style so of course they'll fall out of fashion quickly.
True, but I also feel like the high school pack had a SUPER specific style that probably doesn't accurately portray what most teens are wearing these days, or at least where i'm from.

No hate but as a teen girl i think it’s already cringe
It goes so good in tiny living!
thinking anything is "cringe" is "cringe" in and of itself. it's great that you have enough individuality to just like what you like.
Same! I LOVE pastels and I can’t get enough.
As a former moustache girl turning 30 next year, I hope the mushrooms stay as they are more adorable, but also I agree that most of these things will soon go the way of the owl necklace..

NOT the owl necklace 💀
Omg I always hated the mustache and owl ones x_x I was SO happy when those items LEFT THE BUILDING!!
I still have some owl necklaces. I got rid of the chain but the pendants are in my makeup drawer for a little boost of happiness when I open them.

I have to say, I love it when things age badly (not in THAT way ofc) because it can be such a time capsule. And I just, I adore that. It gives it Personality
I never thought about it like that
People said that with a lot of the clothing in sims 2 and 3 and now the clothing is super on trend
there are clothes/items in the sims 4 which have NEVER been fashionable and look shit in all situations and make me wonder what parallel dimension of dag kitch the asset designer was channeling...
Like all the too short trousers tgat make it look like the poor sims have all had sudden growth spurts and couldn't afford new trousers that properly fitted past the ankle bone. That's never been fashionable, its always just been a sign of poverty. And yet it makes up the vast majority of trouser lengths in Sims 4. Perhaps it only bugs me because of how much I got bullied as a teen for not having long enough trousers when it was remarkably hard to find 34" inseams that fit my waist & hips (so couldn't wear men's fit which did come in that length). So many places making 32" their "long" and now I am seeing places say 30" is long when that used to be short. I'm not even that tall, I'm only 5 ft 6". But yeah, I can't let my sims ho through that so they all end up in the same 2 styles of trousers.
@@AlexaFaie Cropped pants was in fashinon a few years ago. I remember people would roll them up to show more of the ankle with no socks. When the game was released in 2014 it was a trend.
like that stupid base game cardigan with a belt
@@AlexaFaiecropped pants are in fashion right now that whole rant just feels a little like a you experience
TS4 is really a horrible mix of 2010s and 2020s fashion. Like, the stuff that trends, not the stuff people actually wear. Atleast TS2 and TS3 had clothes people actually wore, even if it was unique or niche
I don't think mushrooms are ever going to feel as bad as mustaches. It might be at the level of our former obsession with pineapples, but nothing could be as bad as the mustache craze.
can't believe i forgot about the pineapples as a former pineapple girly
Mushrooms have been used in decor for literal centuries. The mustache thing was so twee. Like it was more quirk than anything aesthetically appealing which is why it went and probably Wong be back.
Mushrooms are nature and nature is timeless.
@@strayiggytv Are you implying that mustaches aren't natural? 😂
@@pinkdarkman they are but not as decore lol. Like if somebody said "yeah I redid my living room with an all natural theme" you'd flip if you went in and it was mustaches top to bottom 😂
the worst thing in the sims that will age like milk was the released game in 2014 having babies age into CHILREN 💔
Maannn that feels like yesterday. Toddlers still feel new
Age terribly? It was terrible at release lmao. Everyone was pissed about it
@@nephritedreams yeah..i know? but people will look back and be like how did we support a game that was released like that.
@@RosyKitteh ik!! i remember rushing home from school to update my game and being so shocked
@@AmyMcDonalddi think there’s confusion bc people already feel that way, like it already HAS aged like milk, not that it WILL
No because the way I have CURTAINS with that exact lattice pattern from like 2017 really proves the chokehold that pattern had on us
MY MOM HAS THEM IN HER ROOM AND THE DINING ROOM TO THIS DAY - IN THAT SAME CURSED TEAL
@@LucyLouuuuu NO MINE ARE IN TEAL TOO😭😭😭
Cringey? No. You're being yourself. I love your channel. You're one of the RUclipsrs that inspired me to jump into this.
cringey and "being yourself" is just a synonym it seems (but then again, i myself am cringe so maybe im biased 😂)
I love how the hanging wicker chairs have around a 12 year cycle to come back in cause it was mid 60's then late 70's then early 90's then a bit of a lull and then back and then 12 ish years later back again. Really we hang onto anything we love long enough we'll re-fall in love with it again if it's good is what I'm learning. Love HSY for the BB content. so. dang. good!
Hopefully cottage core doesn’t go out of fashion, but becomes a less popular but still alive counterculture, like rockabilly or goth.
Also as I’ve gotten older, I view trends as a menu of items to add to my personal style if I like them. And keep wearing them even when they are no longer trendy.
Who cares if it's in fashion or not? If you like cottage core ten years from now, but the rest of the world moves on, keep wearing it! Besides, cottage core will always look good. I've neen transitioning my wardrobe to vintage and cottage core because I think it's so much more elegant, classy, and body flattering than the bland, shapeless things we wear today. Forget the haters, wear what makes your heart happy!
@@daytonapeanuti agree but the issue is that unfortunately if cottagecore goes out of style then cottagecore style clothing will become incredibly difficult to find.
@@daytonapeanut I dont know which cottage core looks you are thinking but I always saw this style as a cosplay of a farm girl. A look designed to take photos and post on pinterest. I never saw someone wearing that kind of stuff irl.
I love this approach!!! I've always loved Dirndl-style dresses and peter pan collars and such, and cottage core basically makes it easier for me to find those things.
I love that you shared your experience of being unrecognised as autistic initially, so many (women and girls especially)
will relate to this. My whole family is autistic and it's so true that it can make the differences less noticed! It can cause chaos when we have differences that clash, but at other times it's good being in a family that's gets you 😊
I think wicker furniture is timeless in some sections of America. For patios, porches, green houses, and yards.
all of my families wicker are hand-me-downs or second hand from like the 70s and 80s. wicker is not going anywhere.
The absolute S I L E N C E before the mushroom had me cackling.
1:03 I love that you don’t have a cat cam, you just zoom in on the cat if it enters the frame. It’s what my eyes are gonna do anyway so I appreciate it
6:30 When I was studying abroad in the UK in 2006 the "Boho look" was all the rage. Women were paying hundreds for cowboy boots, and it was madness. I grew up riding, "Western". I had a few pairs of cowboy boots, but didnt wear them as fashion. Some people I knew did. They are timeless, for some. But you couldnt catch me in them, out and about. Not since I was 9yo. 😅
Would love to see a another video with a similar concept, but flipped. You look at items from pre 2020 sims packs that have stayed timeless and are still just as cute and useful today as they were when they got added.
We can talk about this, but i tried playing sims 2 again a couple years ago and couldnt stop dying over the dated early 00s fashion...needless to say im sure this will happen again in 15 years from now when i go back to sims 4 for nostalgia.
But also, i grew up with those sears mushroom canisters and my parents were just obsessed with mushroom decorations so, i never see them going out.
Wicker? I love it, im spiritually an old lady.
Can't wait for her reaction to this video 5 years from now
This needs to happen
This basically applies to all the base game CAS items
Technically not because those were never IN style 😂
As someone with a fly agaric tattoo that I got this year, I think you are absolutely on the money with it being the early 2020s version of the moustache. I love the toadstool/cottage core aesthetic so much but it is 100% gonna be cringe come the end of the decade 😂
Why? Doesn't have to be cringy if you enjoy it.
High school years was made to be SOO gen Z. So I would not be surprised it ages poorly.
15:29 the Floaty Egg Chair 😭 I remember wanting one SO BAD as a child. I’d sit in the display one at Pier 21 every time my grandma brought me there, and that place closed years ago lmao. Oh to have a floaty egg chair
Im someone who doesn’t bother much with clothes, like I have five shirts and two pairs of jeans. But, I love watching things come in and out of fashion, I think it always reflects the state of the world to some extent. Like, during covid, baggy stuff and tracksuits seemed popular because they were comfy for everyone chilling at home. I remember in 2008, upcycling and cutting up things was popular because of the recession. It’s just always an interesting thing to look at.
I view pop pastel kit is absolutely going to age badly but will come back in 30 yrs.
The reason for this is pop pastel is inspired by 80s post modernism nostalgic. If you were to look at a lot of '80s style Memphis interior you can see the influence. The difference is that the colors were brighter, not pastel. Also, liminal spaces help contribute to this aesthetic.
And the 1980s were more inspired by some 1950s aesthetics so this is where I get the 30 years from.
Of course, the internet age speeds time up it seems like there's always a seemingly new trend.
So 30 years could be a much shorter span of time. So 30 years of internet type could be like 3 years.
However, I see that it'll be a different carnation. It'll either be muted colors "muted pop" like millennial gray come back in fun patterns, or it will be a dark pop version , revived by goths.
Honestly, I think that would be a really cool, a dark pop aesthetic. I can honestly really picture it.
There already has been one, there's the whole pastel goth aesthetic and you also see it in Elegant Gothic Lolita styles which sometimes use more of the pastel Lolita colour scheme just teamed with a neovictorian gothic lolita (for the latter look up the brand FanPlusFriend).
@@AlexaFaie pastel goth I remember that. Yes I'm aware of it but I wasn't that more clothing usually and it's not quite the same thing as what I imagine.
The closest you would actually get to that is if you were to look at say Beetlejuice.
In the Beetlejuice movie, they combined the contemporary era of the times of postmodernism.
Pastel pop gets inspiration from postmodernism decor like Memphis style. But one these postmodernism I can't remember the architect's name. But there was also a kind of child-likeness, to have big chunky blocks brightly colored a lot of buildings in the 80s and '90s had that aesthetic, in North America. The kind of last remaining or what people remember of the dead malls.
So think more like blocks like big blocks of Legos, playful but dark, liminal. But I can definitely see why you can connect to those thoughts. I almost thought about talking about pastel goth, Lolita because it tends to be more quiet like kawaii.
* Also want to add I can see at your Victorian connection, Victorian style homes were considered very over the top, especially once they were no longer popular and more modern architecture and interior design became. And then it was seen as old fashioned.
*An interestingly, enough if you look into say like the Addams family history, why did the Victorian home it was already seen as old fashioned, haunted. And thus, this one of inspiration a lot of goth culture.
I strongly recommend a CC Loading Screen and a CC Plumbob color for Sims 4 so you can mix and match to your heart's content. You can only have ONE of each in your Mods folder at any given time but you can get a bunch, keep them in a folder elsewhere, and cycle them out whenever you want between game sess ions. I've had the same one for over a year now but it's a really soothing night scene on a roof top and a black plumbob because the blue was a little bit too much. You can get custom holiday designs this way!
Omg that’s such a good tip I’d like to have pink plum bobs and calming sunny countryside load screen
One last time! TheFeyQueenMini has Colorful Plumbobs and PRIDE Plumbobs (I spent at least two hours looking.) NC4T has one that makes the plumbob invisible, for when it blocks beautiful art, but I haven't tried it yet. UARGO4 and Goddess_Gamez have the LS BG over ride. There is a tutorial on how to create your own LS BG with S4S but I've never tried that.
honestly the time capsule vibes of the older sims games is why I love going back to play them so much. Sims 2 is such a nostalgic glimpse into the early 2000s for me. Im sure in time Sims 4 with be aa time capsule of now too.
i always play sims 4 like it’s set in the 2000s, i just don’t like the new aesthetics
considering the fact that some of the original basegame stuff has already come back into the trend cycle (cough extreme lowrise jeans cough) i think we can all agree nothing is sacred 💀
You’re so right about fashion getting boring again. I entered the office 2 years ago and when I first started finding my ~professional~ style, I was looking at all fun colors and patterns. Now, everything I’m looking at is black or solid neon
The 'best' part about most of fast fashion neons is that most of the colours bleed horribly, how are people supposed to wash it and not destroy earth more (tbh buying trendy pieces from fast fashion brands is already a bad idea environmentally, but I get that not everyone is rich enough to buy sustainable clothing, especially if you're paying 40 dollars for a trendy t-shirt that will look weird in a year) and to achieve this neon they have to mix poliester or make a garment entirely out of it. So the black part is boring but makes sense, I never understood neons, just why.
It hurts me with the mushrooms, bc the merry mushroom collection was big in kitchens in the 80’s / 90’s. My grandmother had the wallpaper and EVERYTHING. Then it went out of style, and now it’s back. People pay hundreds of dollars for those vintage dishes and pieces of the kitchen collections. So that’s probably what’s gonna happen again 🥲
Me personally, I don't think maximalism will ever age badly. Like it's such a timeless style that it'll always be present and pleasant in some aspect like people will always go I've always wanted a pink bedroom but wasn't allowed/ couldn't afford one but now I've got adult money and this is for the nostalgia. It's like how minimalism will always be a timeless aesthetic, so will maximalism
Maximalism is not a specific style more a combination of extravagant design and bold colors. Is hard to say how dated it look because there isnt a specif time period it was the main trend.
"There is no right or wrong way to do makeup. But it certainly does have a theory" - Robert Welsh
And that's why I like vintage. My outfit isn't going out of style because it's not in style
You highlight the layered goth top, and...that's been a style for *decades* - that one is timeless. I'm 35 and that's been a style since before I was born, and it remains a style that I like, and is a style I've seen my Gen Z cousins wear, too! It's far from cringe, and has never gone out of style! Who hates a nice tee over a long sleeved shirt? Now, wearing a crop top over a sweater is...undeniably cringe.
I feel you on the mushrooms. I appreciate them, they’re a cute aesthetic and make me smile, but they are EVERYWHERE.
I feel like I'm the only person that actually hates that mirror; it's so bulky and ugly
I dont really hate it but i never know how to decorate spaces with it, like there are so many other mirrors in the game that i think are way cuter so i naturally default to those onez
It looks great in a corner lol
nah i agree with you, first time seeing it and just. ew? it kind of looks like 4 different sized mirrors stacked on top of each other. no thank you
I feel seen -- the teal colored rug you describe was 100% in my dorm.
I feel like the neutral colour ways in the pastel pop kit really help it have more longevity. I always (ALWAYS) use the white version of the little couch.
The wicker stuff was very popular late 70s and early 80s, my mom had a big wicker egg chair when I was growing up!
“cowboy boots may come back” THEY DID, THEY CAME BACK
The worst thing for me is that you still can't have properly working mixed race sims in the game. You still only can pick one UI for the occults and even then you have to pray game doesn't break on you.
Also I’m scared for paisleys to return
i agree i feel like anything thats strongly tied to or emblematic of a particular style in time becomes "cringy" when it goes out of fashion but i think that makes it cool like i love when i look at a picture and can immediately tell the year its from bc of the aesthetics also trend cycles are going by quicker so everything will be cool again soon
😭Elder millennial here who still loves lattice pattern. Also when my husband and I first shacked up we were given some rattan furniture that I HATED. This was 2010ish and we just put it on the curb when we were done with it. PS, thank you Declan for the kitty close-ups
I absolutely love u Jess
The sims 4 low rise jeans are wayyyyy worse
@bluedabadee8997 ts3 ones are a centimeter from the cooch 😭 like i said i dont play the sims 4 much but if theyre that bad ill keep staying away lmao
i love stuff like this, it makes the sims feel like a time capsule! ive only been playing sims 2 lately so seeing "outdated" stuff is so fun and makes me feel like im in the early 2000s lol
The mushroom stool reminds me of The Sims Makin' Magic. I miss the craziness of that pack. I especially miss the Rollercoaster stuff. The meat grinder wand charger cauldron. The travel Hole.
I miss that so much, and that mushroom stool ALWAYS reminds me of it.
I actually like how cringe the highschool pack is. I love giving my teenager sims weird looks as part of a cringe phase.
SAME!!! I'll do like the MAC makeup cause I can imagine a young sim trying to get that perfect look and over doing it lol😆

You said is the mushroom the moustache of our generation and I felt a chill run through me. I love mushrooms! But then... Did I also have a moustache t-shirt? And a moustache necklace? Of course.
the first shirt never flew with me, i was like wrf is this
I agree with everything you mentioned (a lot of them especially the pastel wavy stuff I’m already super over it) however the wicker chair in my experience is one of those things that’s always nice even if not trendy, like you said it’s about where it is in the house and not a lot have a conservatory but when they do… and when it’s got one of those chairs… it’s always nice lol
lol i told myself i was never gonna buy kits but you sold me on the pastel pop kit... love it
The cat content was peak 😂😂😂😂
I have so much money invested into sims 4 I may never switch to sims 5 which means I can just wait for all the styles to circle back as they always do 😂
I've always been a Mushroom girlie, so it'll never go out of a style for me, but the rest of the world maybe but for me, it'll always be in style.
i bought the pastel pop kit exclusively for the himilayan salt lamp that came in it
I hate that ugly, bulbous mirror.
Never diss a red spotted fairytale mushroom.
The flowerpot is a goddess.
I love the Dance Moms references so much! Plumbella *gets* me.
i hate rattan. i love wicker with the weave in it. in america rattan is made of plastic and bought at walmart and everyone has them in their back yard and i hate them
...so what you hate is _cheap, faux_ rattan that is definitely not just found in America.
Mushrooms are such an obsession the department store I work at has had no less than 3 different types of decorative mushrooms in the Christmas merch. And yes one of them was a white fuzzy top like faux snow. Super cute but agreed we’re in a mushroom epidemic
Loving your early morning energy 😊 yes, fly agaric grow under beech trees in UK, best found Sept/Oct. Alice in Wonderlands mushroom from the caterpillar may be these as they are considered hallucinagenic (also toxic)
me, watching this video while I have NO idea, what is trendy or stylish, EVER (never had and probably never will)
You so casually called out the owl necklace, biiiiiitch I didn't even realize those weren't in fashion anymore 😂
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO EXPOSE ME LIKE THAT !!!! I AM NATURAL BRONZE I HAVE NEVER FAKE TANNED IN MY LIFE !!!!!!!!!
I feel like this might be the weirdest comment to leave ever but i've gotta recommend "chicken of the woods" mushrooms to anyone who likes mushrooms like portabellos but is kinda mushroom picky. I wasn't a mushroom fan until i had these, coated and fried.
Also... no idea what a conservatory is except from clue XD
most of the time i don’t care what the content of the video is, i just find it so comforting to watch you :)
In 5 years it will be cringe, in 10 it will be interesting, in 15 it will be retro, in 20 it will be vintage...thats how trends work
i love 1950s-1980s style but not the modern adaptation of it 😅 like i love flared jeans with /without pattern, love the corduroy, love the weird denim tops with pattern, love the dresses and the boots... but the modern adaptation something about it just doesnt seem right because of the conflicting styles (but this is just what i have seen around in the past 2 years) also i hate the layering of shirts for 90% of people
I appreciate the cat zoom near the beginning
I saw a tiktok that compared 2010s to 2020s and how each pattern or item was switched. I honestly still love both from each generation.
idk if you have adhd plumbella, but my adhd ass relates extremely hard to your... everything. i LOVE waking up at the crack of dawn. thanks for the video mother hen x
You know whats gonna be really unpopular in five years TikTok. I would bet money on it.
I think it won't even survive 5 years, or the clips would have to be 1 second long to keep people 😂
We can only hope..
Yeah just like RUclips went out of fashion haha
This video made me realise that I pay almost 0 attention to what is “in” and just use items that I like 😂
"i think mesh is on the way out" broke my heart a little bc im transmasc and ive always wanted to wear mesh but never had the confidence or lack of tits to do so
honestly i couldve just stopped it at "im transmasc" but-
Wear the mesh! Everyone looks hot in mesh
I also think we now, have more eclectic styles across the globe. People wear things from so many different decades and combine styles. So many people wear what they want now and I love that.
Some of this stuff already aged horribly 😭😭
IF THESE ITEMS HAVE ZERO FANS IT MEANS IM D.E.A.D.
I mean, let’s be real: a lot of the OG base game items have already passed that milestone. That strapless dress with the spikes under the bust? SO 2014.
Love you so much from SA you absolutely changed my life for the better Jesse thank you so much for bringing back my happiness ❤❤
The way most of these irl equivalents are already dead is hilarious lol
I love the way new ASD diagnoses lead to digging stuff up back in the family tree. My sister was the first person in our family diagnosed, and it was only after that that BOTH of my grandparents got themselves diagnosed when they realized, Hey, I'm also kinda like that.
Me : damn Jesse is pausing for a really long time
Jesse : *shows mushroom chair*
Me : GASPS SO LOUD MY CAT GETS SPOOKED
I do agree with a lot of these, but I also think we've definitely entered an era of "Like what you like and own it" like, with clothes and decoration styles. It's like the whole "kill not the part of you that's cringe, kill the part that cringes" mentality.
So I agree that a lot of these things may not be as trendy, but I don't think there'll ever be quite as aggressive a feeling of things being out of style
portobello, white button, and cremini (the brown buttons) are the exact same mushroom! they are just different sizes and colours bc they were harvested at different times. also the red mushrooms with white spots are poisonous!
Owl necklaces, peace symbol earrings, smiley faces and ying yang keychains. Mood rings. Chunky plastic rings. Neon belts, socks, jewellery. Mustache stickers in galaxy print. Infinity symbol bracelets. Tumblr was the breeding ground for all of it.
Peace signs, yin yang, smiley faces, and mood rings were all popular decades ago and will always be around. They weren't new with tumblr.
@@psychedelic.dreamer I never said they were new. Of course all of those were around waaaayyyy before tumblr lol. Before you or I were alive. However those symbols all together and in conjunction with what I said such as neon colors, chunky plastic and galaxy print, are often associated with 2005-2013. At least for myself it is and for many people I know. (Anecdotal evidence of course, I have nothing else to back up my claims other than my own findings.) but anyway it’s honestly not as deep as I’m making it out to be right now lol.
One of the best things about things no longer being 'trendy' irl is you can buy them at a steep discount and enjoy them if you honestly love them afterwards. I've seen so many things go in and out of fashion and I've had the same likes my entire life, aesthetically.
Whatever goes out of style comes back in style eventually. Like blue eyeshadow, I feel like it’s about to make a comeback and I’m so ready for it.
I love that the video now imitates my ADHD, tries to listen… *ohhh a cat* wait what’s the video about 😂😂😂
15:13 that's what happens when you live in an industrial city 😂 I saw my first toadstool last autumn, love from Antwerp, Belgium.
it’s exciting too! playing the sims 2 and seeing low rise jeans and multi layer tees is so cute! seeing all the clothes and items i was obsessed with as a kid, that i wouldn’t look twice at without the nostalgia 🥹
im lucky enough to live in an area where cowboy boots have always been in style, and always will be lmao
I love mushrooms so much... but yeah.... the classic red spotted mushroom (or if you're a fungi nerd, Amanita Muscaria) is DEFINITELY going to be like the cacti / succulent + owl necklaces in like 3 years for sure
omfgg the cacti/succulent one is the PERFECT comparison, god they used to be everywhere
