There’s a war being waged on TikTok. Gen Z — a.k.a., anyone born between 1997 and 2012 — thinks millennials are uncool, and their love of ugly side parts, skinny jeans, and other passé trends proves it. This isn’t the first time millennials — the generation born between 1981 and 1996, have been on the receiving end of a rough time. So do you think these trends are outdated? Side parts Fans of the middle part say it’s better for overall facial symmetry-and that’s accurate, if you have a round or oblong-shaped face. This style also has a reputation for looking youthful, and who doesn’t love that? But on the flip side, middle-parts can be severe and hard to pull off if your hair doesn’t already go that way, or if you have curly hair. There are still ways to make a side part work without seeming dated, especially if you’re someone with a square, diamond- or heart-shaped face, as swoopy side-parts may help to soften and frame the more angular features of your visage. Skinny jeans If you came of age in the era of low-rise jeans, you’d know that skinny jeans — and in particular, high-waisted ones — aren’t just a fashion trend, they’re a rebellion. They’re a way of saying to the world, I deserve to be comfortable and look great in denim, even if I’ve got curves. They make your butt look good and your legs seem even longer, which helps draw the eye away from the belly area and give the illusion of a slimmer silhouette. Loose-fitting denim, especially the wide-leg and flared jeans that are huge right now, don’t do that. Another benefit to skinny jeans is that they cover your ankles and are easy to tuck into a pair of killer boots. Selfies Of all the things to mock millennial culture over, selfies are definitely the easiest target. But it’s not like they’re going away anytime soon. Besides, there’s a solution for everyone involved-just buy a selfie stick. While it might seem goofy, the stick works and can help you capture your best angle from any pose. Avocado toast Gen Z hasn’t really come for this one yet, it’s more of a Boomer gripe. For the uninitiated, avocado toast is an absolutely delicious treat wherein you smear freshly mashed avocado onto the bread of your choosing. Sprinkle on a little salt and you’re good to go, although you can get fancy with it and add everything from leafy herbs to fried eggs, zesty jalapenos, and more. Words to Learn 相关词汇 【过时的】guòshí de passé behind the times, outdated 【没经验的】méi jīngyàn de uninitiated lacking knowledge of or experience with something 有人在TikTok上掀起了一场战争。 Z世代，也就是1997到2012年间出生的人觉得千禧一代老土，因为他们喜欢偏分发型、紧身牛仔裤和其他过时的潮流都证明了这一点。这也不是千禧一代（1981到2012年间出生的人）第一回被怼了。你觉得这些潮流过时吗？ 偏分 喜欢中分的人说中分让面容更显对称。如果你是圆脸或者椭圆脸，这当然没错。中分还让人显得年轻，谁不喜欢呢？不过，问题的另一面是，如果你的头发长得不是那样或者你是卷发，中分发型就很难弄。 还是有办法让偏分看起来不过时，特别是如果你是方形、钻石形或者心形脸，自然的偏分可以修饰脸部线条，让面容显得更柔和。 紧身牛仔裤 如果你成长于低腰牛仔裤流行的年代，你就知道紧身牛仔裤，尤其是高腰的，不仅是一种新潮，而是一场反叛。它们向世人宣称：即使我很丰满也有权穿舒服漂亮的牛仔裤。紧身牛仔裤让臀部显得好看，双腿显得修长，将人们的视线从腹部引开，让身形显得苗条。 宽松的牛仔裤，特别是当下流行的阔腿或者喇叭牛仔裤，就做不到这一点。紧身牛仔裤还有个优点就是他们盖住脚踝，可以轻松塞进时髦的靴子里。 自拍 嘲笑千禧一代的文化，自拍往往首当其冲。不过自拍现在还很流行。而且，只要买一根自拍杆，就能把大家都拍进来。虽然看起来有点可笑，自拍杆能帮你拍出各种姿势和角度的美照。 牛油果土司 Z时代的人倒没说什么，牛油果土司常被婴儿潮一代吐槽。科普一下，牛油果土司就是把新鲜捣碎的牛油果抹在你喜欢的面包上，非常美味。撒点盐就可以吃啦，当然也可以再讲究点，加上植物叶子，煎鸡蛋，墨西哥辣椒和其它东西。(www.msn.com) |
