Around here, the High School has spirit weeks with dress-up themes, and the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s are popular. Having lived through the 80’s as a teen, I recognize the dress (jelly shoes, “Madonna Look”, parachute pants, etc.) as 80’s parody (if not 80’s reality where I lived.
It got me thinking. What do you predict future generations will use to parody/portray our days? The only thing I can think of immediately is that they will carry an Ipad.
Your thoughts?
IPhone + white earbuds.
Saggy pants.
Rectangular glasses.
A bluetooth earpiece is a must.
Bieber hair
Bandz
I think that the feature of this era that will look oddest to those in the future will be the fact that all portraits seem to be self-portraits with the sitter’s arm that’s holding the camera going out of the frame.
Snooki lips.
Emo skinny jeans.
Vampire stuff.
Wear a Lady Gaga meat dress.

Are we looking at this as 2000-2010 or as 2010 being the start of 2010-2020? That will affect what parts of the era you are pulling from.
I am going with Sparkly psudo-vampire emo.
Vuvuzela.
I miss my jelly shoes! =)
Current stereotypable trends? Skinny jeans. At least 3 thin layers on top and a hoodie over that. Livestrong-esque wristbands. Those ENORMOUS sunglasses that make people look like grasshoppers.
Emulate some piercings and tattoos.
If you’re a guy, wear a shirt/top that goes WAY WAY down, then saggy pants that pick up where the shirt left off, so it looks like your hip zone is at your knees
If you’re a gal, wear ridiculously high heels. 8 inch spike heels if you can find them.
…with no lenses (or non-prescription lenses).
Man, this year has been terrible.
My walker…
It’s impossible to tell what would be mainstream in the year 2045, and what would be worthy of parody. In the future, maybe everyone will be wearing meat dresses.
We can only hope!

You mean they had to use their hands? Their cameras were like a baby’s toy!
Ed Hardy tshirts and crocs. And have the nanites create a fake orange hue on your skin.
Hoodies, fer sher.
North Face logoed anything.
Stilleto heeled boots.
The women’s ankle boots that are everywhere and being worn with short dresses.
Those over-the-top stiletto heels with the weirdly placed cutouts that look almost like bondage wear.
Snuggies.
Jeggings
