You know what they say, "Business in the front, party in the back!" As we get ready to celebrate a 90's Throwback Weekend, I thought it'd be fun to reminisce at some of the WORST trends in country in the 1990's.
It's when the Midnight Rodeo and the Riverside Cowboy where THE places to tush push and slap some leather (that's line-dance-speak by the way), and if you'd rather ride a mechanical bull at a heritage club, you took your Chevy Blazer to the Brandin Iron in San Berdoo. Ah good times.
So here are a few of my picks for the worst trends of the 90's. Discuss:
1) Shoulder pads in womens' shirts. Why did we ever want to look like a linebacker?
2) Big hair. No wonder the ozone layer has a hole in it. And I'm still, 100% guilty of this trend, to. this. day. (No shame.)
3) Tucking your jeans in your boots. Guys and gals did it. We ALL did it.
4) Big belt buckles. The bigger the belt buckle on guys, it seemed the bigger the attitude. The only reason this was a trend at that time is because everyone wanted to be a bull-rider thanks to the movie "8-Second Ride". Amiright?
5) Cigarette wallets. Back in the 90's, you could still smoke in clubs. Ladies would carry their Marlboro Light 100's in these pouch-like cigarette wallets. Just no.
6) Wrangler patch tattoos on your butt. You think anyone today is regretting that decision?
7) Infertility-causing-ultra-tight jeans. The guys looked good in them at the time, however, I wonder if anyone was ever able to conceive children after donning those jeans?
8) Starched creases - a couple of cans of starch and an iron, and you could create jean-creases so legit, that they could cut someone walking next to you.
9) THE. MULLET.
End of story.
