10. Teens React To '80s Fashion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdOYTisTsw8 Eighties fashion has become such a standard pop culture whipping post, it's sometimes easy to overlook how peculiar it really was. Among a plethora of bizarre trends, rock stars suddenly started wearing their hair like they'd had it blown out and styled for the prom. It wasn't just a weird time, it was an incredibly weird time. In this episode the teens are asked to try on a bunch of clothing items that were immensely popular during the '80s. This includes womans shirts with built in shoulder pads, neon colored leg warmers and of course, Zubaz (if you aren't familiar with Zubaz then consider yourself lucky). Also, let's not forget the greatest/worst trend of all time, the almighty fanny pack. Overall, the fashion of this decade can be summed up in one sentence that was said in this video, "It looks like a bunch of highlighters threw up." Or as another teen puts it, "'80s fashion is what hipsters are wearing today." Indeed!
