I call the “post y2k” era the “Chris Angelcore” movement…inspired by reality tv and commercial hip hop culture…all the t shirts had 3D “Texas stars” and lions wearing crowns, skulls, eagles with huge talons, roses etc, and it looked like they hired a drunk bunch of hooligans to “recreate banksy” with 10 dollar art kit from the hobby section at Walmart and the clearance section at JC Penney

I saw an early 20s chick going crazy over Ed Hardy (even though she admitted the clothes and bags wouldn’t match anything she owned) on YouTube. I told her that brand has always been ass, and just because it’s making a comeback doesn’t mean we need to get involved.

The woman was a great grandma by her mid 50s.

She looked mid-to-late 40s. She had her daughter at 16, daughter had granddaughter at 16, granddaughter had great granddaughter at 19.

That's the Express Rampant Lion, so "doúche light". Not quite as full blown as Affliction, Ed Hardy, Tap Out.

[-]

Which_way_witcher@reddit

I.... kind of like it.... (don't hurt me 😳)

[-]

iRveritas@reddit

Express had/has nice business casual dress shirts and such, I was a fan for my work clothes. The Slim Fit 1X I think I had all the colors or most of them.

Probably also came with a My Chemical Romance CD and that stupid pinstriped fedora… Yes, you know exactly the one.

Is your grandmother‘s boyfriend‘s last name Federline by any chance?

I remember wearing a blazer just like this with a Tshirt and a backwards hat.

I have a blazer like that.

In my closet. Right now.

It's from when I was in college 😞

I swear we sold that at Hot Topic.

[-]

lifeat24fps@reddit

We 100% sold that at Hot Topic. I wish I could see the label because I'm sure this is one of the many short lived "lines" that some band member put out.

[-]

Intelligent_Pass2540@reddit (OP)

YES! It was very Papa Roach pop punk and they had several men's shirts and hats too. I hated it as a life long goth girly and I remember thinking "this is so Hollister." I have to laugh at how hard core and rigid I was at 16 about people staying in their groups or lanes 😂 💀 😅

[-]

Intelligent_Pass2540@reddit (OP)

Oh god I worked at Hot Topic jr and sr year of high-school. It WAS A TIME!

[-]

sleigh_all_day@reddit

I managed a store in PA then transferred to the home office in CA. I was with the company for seven years. I wish I could remember the label. Ugh!

I bought one of these in a thrift store in Miami a few years ago to be worn out bar hopping with the theme being $5 suit night.

Why do so many kids now say "the 2000s" like it's the past? What year is it? Two thousand twenty-six. It's still the 2000s.

Omg my husband had this exact one. Yes I bought it.

Liroy_16@reddit

I wore my derby hat on an elementary campus the other day and was told that I "look like a grandpa from 1986" and it took me out for a second...

The messed up part is the little dude was only 3 to 4 years off from having an accurate timeline if I had my first at or before 18... I'm not old, yet, right? Right?!

[-]

Funkopedia@reddit

No, I don't believe it. Nobody says 'from the 2000s' like it was olden times unless maybe maybe if it's before they were born yet, which would make them under 16 at maximum and too young to be wearing this quite yet.
