Late Gen X, grew up in a very inner-city urban environment, went to HS and college in the 90s. NOBODY called it "bustin' a sag." Things from this list that were way more 80s than 90s: Jelly shoes, rolling up one pant leg, snap bracelets. "One-strapping" a backpack has absolutely nothing to do with fashion or trends and everything to do with it's just easier to drop your bag when you get to the classroom. And wearing a shirt tied around your waist has been done by everyone for decades. Jesus H Christ, do you ever have people who were actually THERE make these lists?
Hahaha the photo of the kids in black band tshirts, baggy jeans and wallet chains might as well have been lifted right out of my photo album. I rocked ALL of that including the gelled up spikey hair. Thank god there wasn't Facebook and digital cameras back in the late 90s....
7:31 My cousin's wife wore Doc Martens with her wedding dress! And now the oldest daughter (my 2nd cousin) carried on that tradition by wearing Doc Martens with her wedding dress!
The 90s was the best decade. No Internet. No social media. We were outside all the time. Parents used to think their children would turn out weird if they stayed inside all day. The music was amazing across all genres
I was there in the 90s, and in my region, we called it "kickin the droop." And yes, at the time, not made up later. Being that regional things are incredibly common, and diverse, I absolutely believe it was called "bustin a sag" somewhere.
No, they're about the reason for the trend. Not the reason why it was invented. Come on man. The punk scene sparked the trend. Motorcycle riders did it for practical reasons but never at any point in time did they start the trend in the 90s.
The wallet chain wasn’t spawned just from the mosh pit. As a skater, we also wore them so we wouldn’t lose our wallets. Pretty much every X sports kid did. It also applies to bikers so they don’t lose their wallets. Granted, bikers tend to not have a wallet, but more of a chained billfold.
Just so y'all know, that what ever it's called "saggin or bagging", it didn't pop up out of nowhere. It was started in jail. It was a sigh that other prisoners (men) that you are" available" and the simple ones that don't know that just kinda picked it up as " just hip-hop fashion" look it up it's not just me saying it.
2 of my favorite 90's trends were not hating each other based on political leanings and being able to have intelligent discourse on controversial topics
People still sag today and it's so gross. They just wake up , put their clothes on, look in the mirror & do a fit check and are like "........................... yeah, this looks good".
21 Jumpstreet portrayed the 2 strap/1 strap issue perfectly! Izzy rockin' that Sublime shirt! Yes! On another note, back in the early 90s, people even wore backwards over-alls, because of Kriss Kross lol I'm obsessed with the 90s & wish I had kept more of my stuff from those days. I used to wear the skater brand Caffeine & it was pretty wild! I even had JNCO shoes...they were soooo comfortable! I wore them until they disentigrated! Those Adidas sandles that everone had! As far as women's fashion...I 100% prefer 80s & 90s style over today!
For the Jelly shoes, in France back in the 90's (and before) we wore those to go to the beach. Since there are a lot of sharp shellfish, or you could get stung by some fish you had to wear those to protect your feet
I was waiting for the Kris Kross look to be on here lol. Also, it's no surprise that hip-hop culture influenced several of these. When I think of that overalls looks, I think of Bell Biv Devoe.
the jelly shoes in France were only meant to be worn at the beach to avoid hurting your feet on rocks or pebbles. They were not something you wear on everyday life (except for very young children ) and they were not considerd stylish..;We call them "méduses" , that means "Jellyfish"
Does anyone remember the trend post one-strapping, where you would two strap your backpack (had to be Eastpak) but it had to be as loose as possible so it was like you were wearing a WWII era parachute on your arse? No? Just me?
One of my Sociology professors told us that the sagging pants originated in prisons, when the men that were "available" would show it by sagging their pants (which makes sense, since they are almost offering up the behind). Not 100% sure if it is true, but it is still something I would want to be told to EVERY SINGLE GUY, maybe the ugly trend would disappear.
There are so many jails that would have their own reasons for this but according to my dad who was in/out of jail a lot in CA it was actually because they gave him more underwear per week than pants so it was better to sit and let the underwear get dirty vs the pants bc he could change them more frequently.
It's helps a LOT. My husband has one because we have a motorcycle and he works in a warehouse. It also keeps track of which pocket your wallet is in. 🤣Too many boxy things like phones and stuff in the pockets anymore.
The bowl cut is much older than the 1990s. It's where moms would cut their kids hair and literally use a bowl for reference. The one strap backpack has been around since kids using backpacks.
They're not saying here that bowl cuts and one strap backpack was invented in 90s. You know that right??? They are saying these are styles and trends in 90s which is 100% correct.
@@orlock20 Again they're not saying the trend originate in the 90s. Please tell me you're smart enough to understand this. This is not rocket science. Let me simplify it for you. All they are saying in this video is these are trends that happened in 90s. That's it. Now, could these trends be trends in previous decades?? Absolutely. No one is arguing that. They are just presenting trends that were popular in 90s. And bowl cuts and one strapping was absolutely popular in the 90s. They maybe popular in the 70s and 80s too. But that doesn't change the fact they were also popular in 90s, which is what this video is about. It's NOT ABOUT when the trend originated.
Doc Martens sadly aren't made nearly as well as they used to be. Used to have a lifetime warranty. Company got sold off in 2013, and the lifetime warranty stopped three years later. My last pair started to separate and peel apart after a couple years. The stitching is a joke now. RIP

Snap bands were more 80s in the PacNW. 90s grunge/BDSM/hippie/stoner culture and their clashing brought in/brought back everything from tie-dye and bellbottoms (which led to JNCO) to chokers to pleather and latex clothing as daywear to DIY braided friendship bracelets, and people wore dozens of them at the same time, or weave them into their hair. it was a weird time, but also a lot of fun. Oh, there were also a trend of plain cropped tees with contrasting trims. meanwhile for guys, mechanic shirts/work shirts weren't popular up north until after Green Day's first album Dookie. Also, one section of women's summerwear are extremely short hot pants that have to show the bottom of butt cheeks, and also long skinny jeans with micro tube tops, but otherwise, bellybuttons must always be showing. It also started in the 80s but by around 92 it was all over the place.
the snap bracelets were fun, but they rusted so fast. And the fabric on top would get cut from the inside due to the spring inside being slightly sharp, so they didn't last long.
2:05 "When were you born?"
"2008"
"*sob"😰That sob is hilarious! 'Love her.
I feel her
Izzy's reaction when Juliana said she was born in 2008. I feel ya girl. I feel OLD watching some of these kids on here.
Yeah, on one of the Teens React videos there was a kid who said he was born in 2011 😳
I love how React is slowly turning into a gotcha game of "Can You Recognize Young Joe Bereta?"
Izzy's reaction to Juliana's birth year had me rolling.
I'm gen X and was a teen through the 90s and never once heard anyone ever say "bustin' a sag" until today. We said "saggin' n baggin'".
GEN X rulezzz
Same, we never used "bustin a sag" that's just weird. It was just saggin.
We would say it ironically to make fun of the kids who wore pants like that
remember the JNCO's and long tee shirts
Saggin'...that's it.
Izzy’s shiver when Juliana said she was born in 2008 so relatable 🤣 girl I was in 9th grade then 😭
Nobody called it “busting a sag.”
i dont even thing we had a name for it
It was just called sagging lol

Pull up the pants!!!!

I am with you 100% on the backpack, I did it in high school and I still (at 43) do it today. So much easier to slide off.
No one ever said “bustin a sag” in the 90’s. “He’s saggin” “The kids out there saggin and baggin”.
Right. If you said bustin' a sag, well honestly chances are you got called a cancellable word that rhymes with 'sag'. Just saying.
Juliana understanding why Izzy I can't wear slip dress was priceless.
The way that Jules kept making Izzy feel old was hilarious to me 😂😂😂
You finally got Izzy to stop cussing by pairing her with Juliana 😂😂
I thought the same thing. Good on Izzy.
I think she didn't wanna be a bad example for Juliana...
Izzy's uncomfortable laugh/sigh/whatever at hearing Juliana being born in 2008 🤣
Let's go Izzy! Team Comfort Fashion!
I nearly choked on my pizza when Juliana yelled out, "I'm fifteen!" 🤣🤣🤣
Also, as a guy who grew up during the 90s, I agree with her sentiment!
The Sag started as a prison thing. It was to "advertise" that the wearer was "open for business".
We called them babydoll dresses in the 90’s. Y’all need to get older millennial producers. “Busting a sag” was also wildly inaccurate.
I was a teen in the 90s and I've never in my life heard "busting a sag"! 😂 WTF! Who's been lying to you all?
Same
These are all LA people. They live in an exclusive bubble. Even got the time for jelly shoes wrong. I knew people in the 80s that used them.
Not once in my forty years of life have I ever heard anyone refer to sagging your pants as "Busting a sag".
I heard it all the time growing up in SoCal.
Nor have I.

I would have liked for them to have mentioned the Scrunchie. Whether it was holding up a girl’s pony tail or being stored on her wrist - CUTE!
"I don't need to see your butts. I'M FIFTEEN!!" Girllll, I FELT that 😂
I’m a xennial. I was a teen for half of the 90’s. No one ever called it “busting a sag”. Gen Z please stop.
I love how disappointed Brian is about the saggy pants still being a thing...
7:31 My cousin's wife wore Doc Martens with her wedding dress! And now the oldest daughter (my 2nd cousin) carried on that tradition by wearing Doc Martens with her wedding dress!
I'm 46. My style was slip dresses, Docs, and a flannel tied around the waist. I'd still wear it today if i was thinner.
The 90s was the best decade. No Internet. No social media. We were outside all the time. Parents used to think their children would turn out weird if they stayed inside all day. The music was amazing across all genres
Or we were at the mall.
I guarantee you nobody in the 90s called it "busting a sag." People made this shit up in the late 2000's. It's a myth.

Man the 90s were so much fun
The punk scene was not the reason for a chain wallet. It’s motorcycle riders so they don’t lose it while they’re riding.
No, they're about the reason for the trend. Not the reason why it was invented. Come on man. The punk scene sparked the trend. Motorcycle riders did it for practical reasons but never at any point in time did they start the trend in the 90s.
The wallet chain wasn’t spawned just from the mosh pit. As a skater, we also wore them so we wouldn’t lose our wallets. Pretty much every X sports kid did. It also applies to bikers so they don’t lose their wallets. Granted, bikers tend to not have a wallet, but more of a chained billfold.

"In 1945 Doctor Klaus Martens was a soldier..." I think there's a bit more to this that's not being mentioned.
I was a kid in the 90s this brings me back
Bowlcut: Lucas: "Hell NO!"
*sideeye from Brian, because Lucas HAS a bowlcut, only curly*
I didn't think about that, but you're completely right about Lucas' hair! 🤣
Bowl cut was my nightmare and still is
Chain wallets were not started in punk, they were started by outlaw bikers in the 50s and are still worn today.
I literally wore a flannel around my waist yesterday and I just bought my first pair of docs a month ago.
same here still wear a wallet chain, still wear Docs, still got the flannel
one strap backpack, teen, adults, still do this, i see it everyday
I live in the PNW and the flannel around the waist has never gone out of style. We still rep the grunge era around here. 😺
If you don't own a flannel or wear shorts and a sweater/sweatshirt. Are you even from here? 🤣🤣

Lol good edit with Brian calling girls a freak with chokers and then all the girls love them 😂

Would you wear one now?
Izzy: No...
Juliana: Yeah.

Bustin a sag? Two strapping? I’m a 90’s chick and I’ve never heard these terms until today and I was deeply involved in fashion and pop culture.

The slap bracelet and jelly shoes were from the 80’s
The chokers are cute on girls and the flannel around the waist is both practical and aesthetic.

omg Joe! I can't believe that was you!! I also was a wallet chain girl, I thought I was sooooooOOOOOoo PUNK lol
Nobody called it busting a sag, especially in Canada.
Let’s be real, nobody called it that anywhere
Something very Caucasian about the term "bustin a sag" lmao
The thing with trends back then, they were regional as there was no internet. Most trends were adapted from teen magazines or music videos
I just noticed Brian's hat is of the Mighty Ducks. Hell! Yes! When I was a kid in the 90s, I had a T-shirt of the Mighty Ducks.

Bowl cuts weren't really a fashionable trend. A lot of the time it was just the simplest hair cut parents could give their kids.
EXACTLY !!!!
Those jelly shoes have existed way longer the 90s. I was born in 1972 (in Belgium) and when I was a kid jelly shoes were a thing for kids to protect their feet from the warm sand, or if you went swimming in rivers or lakes you wore jelly shoes so you wouldn't hurt your feet on rocks.
Snap bands were more 80s in the PacNW. 90s grunge/BDSM/hippie/stoner culture and their clashing brought in/brought back everything from tie-dye and bellbottoms (which led to JNCO) to chokers to pleather and latex clothing as daywear to DIY braided friendship bracelets, and people wore dozens of them at the same time, or weave them into their hair. it was a weird time, but also a lot of fun. Oh, there were also a trend of plain cropped tees with contrasting trims. meanwhile for guys, mechanic shirts/work shirts weren't popular up north until after Green Day's first album Dookie.
Also, one section of women's summerwear are extremely short hot pants that have to show the bottom of butt cheeks, and also long skinny jeans with micro tube tops, but otherwise, bellybuttons must always be showing. It also started in the 80s but by around 92 it was all over the place.
