Never heard the term busting a sag in 40 years, but the sagging pants originated in prison when the inmates wanted to advertise their desire for a ‘boyfriend’
I am a 35 year old alt goth who grew up in the 90's, I still rock the chain wallet and if you go to small venue local punk and metal shows here in Seattle, you will see the chain wallets on all ages people along with the band shirts, the doc martens, the vans, the spiked hair, the black nail polish! The alt. scene still uses a lot of the practical wear for shows but back rhen, we didn't buy it, we made all of our accessories.
Jellies didn't come to the US until the nineties? Is this video trying to gaslight me? Other girls in my kindergarten class were obsessed with jellies, and that was in the early eighties. They might have been a slightly different version of them, though, because they looked a little different.
Thank you. I knew I wasn’t imagining things. Definitely wore these in the 80s. They either need to do better research or hire someone old enough to to be in the know😆
@@peepinstreil1 I'm almost 46 and I find it hard to believe that the host of this show is so much younger than me that she would make a mistake like this--God, I feel old! But I guess that even if she was as much as five years younger than me, that would be enough to make a difference in whether she recognized that a fad had started as early as the early-mid eighties. Even more so if she doesn't have as clear of a memory of her childhood as I do of mine.
I had jellies!! ever summer day would come in from playing outside day and take them off and have the outline of the darn shoes in dirt then eventually by end of summer I would have the tan lines ... lmao
The backwards hat was also a thing in the farming community, they wore it backwards to keep the sun off the back of their necks while bent over working in the fields.
Backwards caps go back to baseball catchers in the 1800's. Kids would wear it like that in the 50's to emulate their favorite catcher, it was a thing as fashion in the 80s first.
Air walks were 80s skate shoes - DR Martens were 80s punk rock shoes that surged in popularity in the 90s , live VANS - we all skated in those in the 80s and now our kids wear them
We wore two straps in both middle and high school, but we’d loosen the straps as much as possible and hang them as low as they could go. One strap in elementary school though
90s are so back, I was watching Beastie Boys videos from 92-93 (Pass the Mic, So What 'Cha Want) and they look like they could have been shot yesterday for the most part!
The chain wallet was originally created by old motorcycle gangs, not punk rockers. My grandfather used to roll with biker gangs back in the 50s and 60s. He used to tell us how they used them to carry your wallet and as an easily available to grab weapon.
As a 2001 baby I still rock the one shoulder bag and the chocker thing and yes I remember snap bracelets from elementary school and god knows about the sagging pants era was still a thing in the early 200s
Brian i get you with the rolling backpack, i got one of those in high school after carrying around my heavy backpack all through middle school and part of high school and my back hurting. I got laughed at to but i didn't care...my back wasn't hurting any more
As an 80s baby/90s kid, im getting such a walk down memory lane. I hated jellies, lol. And i got my first Docs after a growth spurt when I was 11. They lasted me a few years until i grew out of them and then got handed down to the first of my siblings. Now I've got nine or ten pairs. The oldest pair have been with me gor nearly 20 years and this is probably going to be the last year before they need to be retired. Going to have to send this to my dad because he does the wallet chain _PRESENTLY_ - but its a functionality thing. Both his wallet and keys are on the chain. He has severe epilepsy and he has whats known as partial or absent seizures not just the grand mal sort, and he used to lose his wallet and keys all the time. So when the wallet chains became a thing he jumped on it as someone with no fashion sense, and hasn't looked back.
Cyclist roll up their RIGHT pants' leg, never the left, because the drivetrain (the side with the chain) is located on the RIGHT side of the bike. Rolling up the left side is just for "fashion" and serves no other purpose.
I loved Jelly shoes growing up oh my goodness and I used to wear them to school discos and think I was the coolest person but in reality my feet were so sore!! also I still wear jackets or shirts around my waist the fact kids don’t do that now I felt that too Izzy I’m with you there mortified 😂
I have ptsd from those damn jelly shoes!!!! The horrendously painful blisters those things left on my damn heels and feet!!!! Yet I STILL wore them of course bc everyone knows beauty is pain lmmfao
Loved the '90s fashion some of the trends are lowkey coming back to us. Sagging, yes, that shit is still here till this down, especially if you go to any like city or hood, they have them. One strap overalls fire fashion trend I use this fashion statement to this day so many ways you can style it!. One strapping backpack, tbh, which was the known thing to do in school, had both straps it means you love school, wanna be here, and can't wait for the work like hell no, not me, lol. Slap bracelets are fire I had a ton of those, so much miss them, and yes, the bookstore sold them all the time, lol.
I did enjoy a slap bracelet until they got to the point where you slept too hard on wrist and it hurt. I was a dancer and because My feet were kids size for shoes. I did wear the jelly shoes that I like them no, but it was the one thing that was not kiddish shoes. I am so glad that they are in the '90s. Those don't need to come back
I like the wallet chain. Been times my wallet would slip out of my back pocket and I would search a few minutes before I found it. As a young boy in the 60s I wore bib overalls. I have a pair of insulated overalls for cold weather. Seeing the bowl cut reminded me of Moe Howard from the Three Stooges
I hear you, Izzy, about the slip dresses - same girl! My sisters both did the slip dresses but I could.never get away with those - I needed waaaaay more support, if you get my drift..
Over The Top starring Sly Stalone. He played a trucker who was competing in an arm wrestling competition. He would turn his hat backwards before each match because, "it turns my engine on," or similar nonsense.
Can we get some dates added to videos? I feel like with so many channel changes and name swaps I'm accidentally stumbling onto videos from the past showing as newer.
The Jelly shoes were invented as feet protection for kids for walking at the beach and preventing to get seriously hurt when accidently walking on a washed up jelly fish. That was the only use for them, And that's why you will still find them mostly in shops around beaches in France, Belgium, ... I don't know who made them a fashion statement...
This channel's lack of research never fails to amaze me. Wallet chains were born and bred in biker culture. They came into prominence in the '50s as a practical means to make sure bikers didn't lose their wallets while riding.
That is not the only thing they have gotten wrong in this episode. Over half of the 90's trends were just recycled from previous generations. Just like the teens react channel.
My dad always wore a chain wallet. But he was what ppl call a bluecollar worker. Can't lose your waller into a deep dark hole in the ground if it's chained to you.
Nobody ever said "bustin' a sag" or "two-strapping."
So many people chewed on Polly Pockets, they had a very distinct 'chew feel'. Lol
0:29 I lived through every day of the 90s…NEVER heard anyone say “busting a sag”!
Never heard the term busting a sag in 40 years, but the sagging pants originated in prison when the inmates wanted to advertise their desire for a ‘boyfriend’
Busting a sag? No one, ever, called it that.
Izzy reaction to the girl being born in 2008,same girl 😂
2:10 Sierra, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! I honestly don’t know anyone who DIDN’T chew on their Polly Pocket clothes. 😂

It was Bikers that started wearing Wallet Chains. They wore them to prevent loosing their wallet while riding they're bikes.
I was coming here to say this same thing. As well as a few more.
And it is from the 1950’s
Never have i ever heard "busting a sag" 😂
My husband who is 53 still uses a chain wallet. It is so practical for him and he likes the style.
The bowl cut is an immortal hair style that will never die long there are Asian and straight haired kids with too "fiscally responsible" moms. Truth!
Brian’s shirt! I used to love Aaahh!!! Real Monsters
"busting a sag" ????? That was never a thing 😂 wtf.
Busting a sag??!!!! Ain’t no one calling it that. Sagging was what we called it in Texas.
Jellies didn't come to the US until the nineties? Is this video trying to gaslight me? Other girls in my kindergarten class were obsessed with jellies, and that was in the early eighties. They might have been a slightly different version of them, though, because they looked a little different.
I remember jellies from the 80s aswell.
Most of this stuff comes and goes.
@@suzawilo Thank you for letting me know I'm not crazy.
Thank you. I knew I wasn’t imagining things. Definitely wore these in the 80s. They either need to do better research or hire someone old enough to to be in the know😆

She is definitely not the only one who chewed on her Polly Pocket’s clothes…
Alright, I was a teenager in the '90s and I never heard "Bustin' a sag" until this video.
So was I and I never heard that either
So was I and I have never heard that either
No one has ever said “bust a sag”. We did say “bust a mov” though.
How old are you?
Most Millennials were 90's kids.💯
I had jellies!! ever summer day would come in from playing outside day and take them off and have the outline of the darn shoes in dirt then eventually by end of summer I would have the tan lines ... lmao
The backwards hat was also a thing in the farming community, they wore it backwards to keep the sun off the back of their necks while bent over working in the fields.
2:07 The "damn, I'm getting old" face 😬😬
I feel you Izzy, being born 1986 🥹🥹🥹
I find it funny they discussed where most of these trends came from. I noticed there was no discussion in where sagging came from.. 😅
We did have Jelly's in the 80's btw.
Backwards caps go back to baseball catchers in the 1800's. Kids would wear it like that in the 50's to emulate their favorite catcher, it was a thing as fashion in the 80s first.
If anyone knows where "sagging" your pants originated you would never do it!
Prison
Lol right 😂 I can't help but laugh every time.
Nobody called it busting a sag and Nobody sagged their pants and tucked their shirt in
Was never called “busting a sage” wtf haha
Girl. Never in my life 😂. I was like wtf. Um, no. Lol
The bowl cut was around way before the '90's . I had a bowl cut back in 1973 in Grade 1 .
Air walks were 80s skate shoes - DR Martens were 80s punk rock shoes that surged in popularity in the 90s , live VANS - we all skated in those in the 80s and now our kids wear them
Went through high school in the 90s. I've never heard "busting a sag." I saw it a lot, but never heard that.
and those do not look like jellies.
I’m pictured in Jellies on Easter 1987, I was nearly 3yrs old.😂 So yeah definitely popular in 80s too!!😂
Bowl cuts even back in the day were mocked. You just knew a parent/caregiver had inflicted that
We wore two straps in both middle and high school, but we’d loosen the straps as much as possible and hang them as low as they could go. One strap in elementary school though

Don't let them gaslight you, Sierra! I used to drive my mom crazy by chewing the hands of my Barbies/water babies.
Yep, same. I chewed on my Barbies and some of my doll's hands.
The 80’s had a different version of jelly shoes. More like a ballet flat
That's what I remember too!
Izzy’s reaction was relatable. 2008 like wtf! 🤣
I wear my hats backwards so I can see where I'm going in my wheelchair if I had my hair too long in the face
I def chewed on my Polly pocket stuff too lmaoo

I was born 05 and worn my jelly shoes like crazy lmaooo

Who wears both backpack straps unless they are hiking? We wore book bags the same way in the 70s-80s.
Well I did but I did not care about looking cool
Grand Puba, Black Moon....90s hip hop
6:26 The overalls were shorts, not pants.
Brian i get you with the rolling backpack, i got one of those in high school after carrying around my heavy backpack all through middle school and part of high school and my back hurting. I got laughed at to but i didn't care...my back wasn't hurting any more
We need chain phones. I wanna go out and not worry about my phone getting stolen. lol
Can we all stop and remember camo cargo shorts? Usually with a Walmart black t shirt and frosted tips? I'm guilty
In the Doc Martin segment.. I think the girl there showing wearing them is Cameron Diaz..
Why not bring in at least one straight guy to critique the fashion? They didn't mention Jnco pants.

Bowl cuts have been around for centuries, and they’ve never been a good idea.
One rolled pant leg let you know the dude dealt drugs.
My favorite '90s trend was having a SNES/N64 (and eventually a PlayStation - thank you FF7).
Cyclist roll up their RIGHT pants' leg, never the left, because the drivetrain (the side with the chain) is located on the RIGHT side of the bike. Rolling up the left side is just for "fashion" and serves no other purpose.
it didn't last long but anyone remember doing the backwards clothes ala Kriss Kross
I want Brian’s Aah! Real Monsters shirt!!!
So is teens react a rerun channel now? This keeps happening 😂
Those look far too sturdy to be 90s jellies. I can still feel the blisters 😬
I loved Jelly shoes growing up oh my goodness and I used to wear them to school discos and think I was the coolest person but in reality my feet were so sore!!
also I still wear jackets or shirts around my waist the fact kids don’t do that now I felt that too Izzy I’m with you there mortified 😂
I dont get the title of this video... OFC millennials know iconic 90's fashion, we grew up in the 90's, experienced it 1st hand.
I’m French and from the 90’ and the jellies were mant to be wearing in the water not with socks 😂
Same, I'm Italian and I was born in '91.😂
Omg, Izzy watching you die from feeling old.... welcome to my world so many times in discord lol
Anytime I wore overalls, I’d be like Steve Urkel with his suspenders.
When I was in elemetary school (until 8th grade) we wore it one strap, but in high school, we often wore both straps, up high, and basically empty.
When I saw the first one it reminded me of the time when I was in 4th grade and my teacher zip tied a guys pants up if she saw them sagging!😂😂
Checking in here for Sierra about chewing on Polly Pocket clothes bc ABSOLUTELY did. That purple jacket 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
Melissa's!!!!!!!! Those were everything
Izzy just embrace the cha-chas
The jelly shoes remind me of Anabel from A simple wish portrayed by Mara Wilson and she wore those shoes OMG 🤩😱
I have ptsd from those damn jelly shoes!!!! The horrendously painful blisters those things left on my damn heels and feet!!!! Yet I STILL wore them of course bc everyone knows beauty is pain lmmfao

My mom had a pocket wallet just cuz she always loses her wallet 😂😂
they now make scented jelly sandals. youre welcome
it’s the walk lucas for me 😹😹☠️

Sierra looks a little like Punky Brewster
This makes me feel old
I chewed on my polly pocket clothes and my barbies feet. My posh spice barbie only had one foot
Wait is this a repeat video?
I hear you, Izzy, about the slip dresses - same girl! My sisters both did the slip dresses but I could.never get away with those - I needed waaaaay more support, if you get my drift..
90s hip hop culture was two straps on the backpack
The baseball explaination makes sense, also you remember when every time Ash threw his Pokeball, he first spinned his cap/hat backwards?⚾
Over The Top starring Sly Stalone. He played a trucker who was competing in an arm wrestling competition. He would turn his hat backwards before each match because, "it turns my engine on," or similar nonsense.
jellies were in in the 80s also cause I had a pair growing up GenX here just saying
Really curious about where you found this research that claims anyone ever said "busting a sag".
I totally remember people calling it that.
Dani is dressed like the 3rd bash brother
Getting your pant leg caught in the chain, so many times 😲. Sucks... 😂
I had the slip on kind of jelly shoes, and they gave me such bad blisters.
I’m less than two minutes in. Jellies were popular in the mid-eighties. I had them was early as 1985.
They messed up hard on AirWalks , DR Martens , and wallet chains too 😂😂 but you have millennials teach gen Z so yeah
3:46 lol perfect edit, no notes!
Sierra out here with that good good fashion history!!!!!!!!!
Trend #12 instantly makes me think of Snow from Final Fantasy 13😍😍😍😍😍
Still remember when only place you could get Docs was NYC, at least in my area

I bought a wallet with a chain once...
and PROMPTLY took the chain off and threw it out!
