Hey there, fellow Gen X moms! Have you just squeezed into your favorite pair of skinny jeans and checked your side part in the mirror? Well, brace yourself, because the TikTok crowd thinks our style is totally outdated. Yes, that’s right! The very generation whose smartphones and internet bills we cover is calling us out for rocking our flattering jeans and perfectly styled hair. As if I’d take fashion tips from the kids who only wear scrunchies as accessories!
I’m officially considered “old” on TikTok. As someone in my late 30s, I feel like a grandma in a sea of teens born after the year 2000 — the same year I graduated high school. It’s a bit disheartening, honestly. I’ve gotten used to feeling ancient on this platform, but now they’re critiquing my adorable skinny jeans and chic side part? Who do they think they are? We raised them, after all!
It’s tough to hear this criticism from the very people we financially support through their oversized jeans, clunky sneakers, and questionable hairstyles. Regardless of their judgment, I’m standing by my style choices. This is our signature look, and we wear it with pride as proud members of OldTok.
Just the other day, I took my daughter to the store to pick up some clothes, and guess what caught her eye? High-waisted, acid-wash mom jeans— the ones that can accentuate or create a FUPA. She thought she was rocking it with her center part, but let’s be real: I come from the era that perfected skinny jeans back in 1998. Sure, she doesn’t have to deal with the realities of a post-pregnancy body yet, but one day, she’ll understand the appeal of a good fit.
There are other telltale signs of being “old,” like taking selfies from an upward angle (hey, it hides my double chin!) and using the LOL-cry emoji, which I refuse to give up. Enjoy your trendy moments, youth, but never forget who paved the way for you — and who’s paying for your unlimited data plans.
