So the 90s are nostalgia now? Thanks Macy's.
I'm not even going to get into a rant about the sexualization of teenagers so obnoxiously obvious in this horrible ad. I'm too stuck on the fact that unless you squint and look quickly at the little pop-ups in the corner, you probably wouldn't even notice that this is even a commercial for back-to-school clothes and not a really, really horrible music video for an act you have no interest in seeing ever.
Oh, and the terms "Rad Fashion" and "Dope Denim." Rad? Dope? Oh right, this is supposed to be 90s throwback stuff. The "Me, Myself and I" lyrics should have cued me in. Holy crap, I was just getting used to the 80s nostalgia stuff- we've moved on to the 90s already? NOOOOOOO!! Not before Video Rental Stores make a comeback you don't!!!
Anyway, buy this stuff and your teens will be ready to go to school dressed like their parents were back in the 90s, I guess. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go back to feeling old now. Stupid Macy's.

Because everyone knows the one thing kids want more than anything else in the world is to wear the same fashions to school that their parents wore 20 years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhich, ironically, is something we were warned was not true just a bit more than 20 years ago.
"I said, 'This isn't Sha Na Na, come on Mom, I'm not Bowzer
Mom, please put back the bell-bottom Brady Bunch trousers
But if you don't want to I can live with that
But you gotta put back the double-knit reversible slacks'"
