When I look back at pics of people in the 80s, I can only wonder what the hell they were thinking. Who do you think had the worst fashion sense?

My generation. Okay, you're wearing a thong, but does everyone really need to see it?

Yes, yes we do...



I'm kidding, actually. In practice it always looks kinda stupid. Well, not always...but enough.

Come on now, are you really saying that this (http://www.keylimecafe.com/images/GAL_NEPHC_2002/purple%20thong.jpg) looks sillier than this (http://www.hartfordadvocate.com/binary/62236-273-2/guide-2564.jpeg), or this (http://www.alternatiefkostuum.nl/images/80s/eighties_12.jpg)?

(to be fair, the last photo is from an 80s party, not people seriously in the 80s goin' "Yeah, I won't feel stupid about this in a few years...")

I'd say the present day.

People pay extra money nowadays for women's pants, wrinkled up stuff and garbage with holes in it.

Ridiculous.

I think what passes for fashion nowadays is quite atrocious. Oh, H&M, how I loathe you...

The 70s was by far the worst decade for fashion. Bellbottoms, polyester pantsuits and plaid skirts for women, pimpdaddy afros, platform shoes, polyester leisure suits for men, plaids plaids and plaids!!! UGH

Indeed, the 70s is a close second in my book, all the more reason I can't stand whenever people start wearing bellbottoms and other clothes that deserve to remain dead.
