These people went on to develop a pornographic dragon quest parody game called knobster quest. It's a game about a lobster made of dick skin who's quest is to defeat the giant clam that holds the secret of the ocean(the secret is that the ocean is a big pool of cum in my dog walkers back yard). Great game but the fleshlight controller you need for it is pretty expensive and also useless if you have severe erectile dysfunction. I tried returning it but I guess you can't return used fleshlights to Giant Tiger because they don't sell them there. Oh well, there's 377 bucks down the drain. Maybe I'll get some boner pills so I can play their knobstronaut game when it comes out, I've heard you play as a normal human astronaut but your spacesuit is made entirely of foreskin.
They aren't just still out there, they're now being made again. Not by the same company(I assume), but the same width is popular now with gen A I think. Since skinny jeans where officially labeled as "out" in 2016 and I've been waiting for wider jeans to get to jnco level and they did. It's glorious and even funnier the second time around.
iirc the new company was re-established by one of the original owners. I think Tripp NYC is still around and having a comeback too. (neither one was ever my thing tho...)
1992 I was a teenager when it happened and I saw it in my high school. They tried to be in style but were never really in style. A few kids with wealthy parents bought them and wore them maybe once or twice, but they were actually embarrassed to wear these.

You know, honestly I'm not mad. This is still better that every other post being a guerilla marketing ploy. Makes me long for the internet of 2006.

That explains my sudden urge to share my résumé online with the entire world and dress badly.

No no, I voluntarily moved on to skinny jeans around 2005 (Don't worry, I eventually voluntarily moved on from those too).

Everyone eventually just ends up at jorts.

Not very different...

I no shit had a pair that were bigger in each pant leg than the waist size. Ridiculous day and age.
infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 191d
They were so expensive at their peak and I'm convinced it was due almost as much to raw amount of material as it was their popularity.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 191d
My high school had a 50/50 mix of wealthy/normal kids, I vaguely recall one wealthy popular boy wearing these senior year.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 191d
How heavy were they? Did it feel like trying to walk through a swimming pool?
Lioffproxy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 188d
It felt like wearing a closet
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 188d
Did you feel embarrassed wearing those? Or were you feeling super stylish and everyone thought you were super hot?
Lioffproxy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 188d
The amount of shame is tied to the time between wearing them.

Fuck I miss my JNCO’s…
Sergio@piefed.social · 11 pts · 191d
They're still out there. I double dog dare ya to wear em to your next job interview.
Soulphite@reddthat.com · 6 pts · 191d
I triple dog dare them to wear them and also proceed to announce "Sup! I'm here to fuck shit up!"
HikingVet@lemmy.ca · 11 pts · 191d
If you work in demolitions, that might be viewed as a go getter attitude.

This looks like magazine crossover art for 4 different early 2000s video games

Two of these people are a couple now, but it's not the two you think.
Grass@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 191d
when even was this? I occasionally hear about jnco jeans but I have no recollection of ever actually seeing people dress like this
modus@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 191d
Probably 1997 or 98.

I generally don’t participate in fashion trends so I never have cause to look back on my past self and cringe.
With one obnoxiously baggy exception.

This is how some boys gradually started wearing dresses.
daggermoon@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 191d
Why they cost so much?
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 191d
Ton of heavy fabric and they're made well with high quality stitching & details & the company hopefully pays their employees dignified living wages.
daggermoon@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 190d
Might be worth it then. I have been considering it. They look really cool.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 190d
They were never cool. Don't waste your money buying these, and don't embarrass yourself trying to wear these 🤣
daggermoon@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 190d
The things I wear, it wouldn't be these that are embarrassing. Besides, it would be rad at metal shows. It wouldn't even stand out.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 190d
Okay enjoy then. I suppose they could be useful for smuggling in a lot of extra contraband to events and for shoplifting haha
Fedizen@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 190d
They're really cool until they snag something.

"Hey! That guy's wearing a big dress on each leg!"
Fedizen@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 190d
Pretty sure you can make a full size skirt out of each leg and still have a pair of jorts leftover.
