Do you remember when everyone had an infinity symbol tattoo? Or the dog filter era? Or the snow boots? Or the statement necklaces?
From the quirky to cringeworthy trends, millennials have gone through it all. Millennials have seen trends come and go at lightning speed, and yes, we admit that some of the decisions were not ideal, but you have to admit that some of the trends still seem pretty cool even today…
Time to revisit the millennial world and vote on which trends are outdated.

Millennial Tattoos
Poll Question
What about the tattoos that scream ‘millennial’? Harry Potter tattoos? Infinity symbol tattoos? Feather tattoos? Butterfly tattoos? Do you think they are outdated?
I am proud of my tattoos.
I thought about getting one of them.
You know you can get them removed, right?

Skinny Jeans
Poll Question
Let’s move on to once much-beloved item: skinny jeans. Skinny jeans were the ultimate staple of millennial fashion. The effect these jeans had on millennials is beyond question.
Still cool.
Cringe but I can’t throw them out.
No.

Someone once defined "fashion" as "something so awful that we have to change it every 6 months". Wear what's comfortable, suits you and appropriate for the occasion. Don't change just because someone you've heard of is wearing it.
#3
Statement Necklaces
Poll Question
One of the millennial giveaways is still wearing statement necklaces. What’s your take on them?
They complete the look!
I still wear some of them.
Cringe. Especially if they are colorful.
#4
Millenial Home Trends
Poll Question
What is your opinion on millennial home trends?
I’m guilty🤩
It wasn’t that bad.
Just no.
#5
Ugg Boots
Poll Question
This one might be controversial as it has made a comeback. UGG boots. Yay or nay?
Good thing I never threw them out!
Not my style but they’re OK.
Why did they make a comeback in the first place?
#6
Dreamcatchers
Poll Question
Whether hanging above beds or tattooed on people’s bodies, dreamcatchers have been more than a decorative item for millennials. Do you think they are still cool?
Why the past sense? I still have one.
Ngl I used to have one.
No thanks.
#7
The Pouf
Final score:
4points
Poll Question
Another hairstyle was ‘the pouf.’ Although the hairstyle was last seen in a graveyard somewhere, apparently it is making a comeback! Are you here for it?
I’ve been waiting so long!
I could do without it.
Oh, that’s a big no.
François Bouzigues 7 months ago
Do you know what a pouf is in French ? It can be wether : - an ottoman - a slur word for girl/woman lacking altogether class, manners, sense of fashion, likeability. Someone you don´t want to befriend / share space with. Probably the meanest thing a girl could say about another girl, cause saying it aloud to someone face would start a fight.
#8
Ankle Socks
Poll Question
There are many millennial giveaways apparently, and according to Gen Z, socks are one of them. Are you Team Ankle Socks?
I have always been on Team Ankle Socks.
Yeah they’re fine.
Why would you wear ankle socks?
Anna Losonczy 7 months ago
I only have ankle socks, and it won't change. Everyone should wear what's comfortable for them.
#9
The Side Part
Poll Question
There were a couple of hair trends that millennials swore by. The side part hairstyle was definitely one of them. Side part or middle part?
Side part for suure.
Both are good tbh.
What is a side part?

The way someone allows their hair to lie can become outdated?! Stfu, BP "writers".
#10
Headbands
Poll Question
Another hairstyling choice that is making a comeback is the headband! Do you think they are cute?
Yess, very cute.
They are not bad.
They were out of style for a reason.
#11
The Laugh-Cry Emoji
Poll Question
Do you think using the laugh-cry emoji is still cool?
What else would I use?
Why not?
Please don’t.
Becky Samuel 7 months ago
I refuse to care which stupid cartoons are 'trendy' to use. I can communicate just fine with words thanks, I don't need to add a string of silly pictures after every communication, let alone worry about whether their current popularity. The sooner emojis die out the better for me.
#12
Ipods
Poll Question
Let’s talk about iPods. They were cool and colorful, and some people think we need them back. What do you think?
I’ll be the first to buy one!
They were cool actually.
Why can’t you just move on?
#13
The Smokey Eye
Poll Question
Let’s consider the go-to makeup look for millennials: the smokey eye. Is it still a good option, or should we leave it in the past?
Still my go-to makeup look.
I still do it sometimes.
Please move on and let it go.
Ray Ceeya (RayCeeYa) 7 months ago
Every weekend, but I am a goth so I've been doing it for 30 years.
#14
The French Tuck
Poll Question
If there was one thing that elevated an outfit and added a touch of sophistication, it was the French tuck. With one touch, the tuck can take your outfit to a whole new level. Or can it?
YES!
Depends on the outfit.
Umm. No.
#15
Boomerangs
Poll Question
Gen Z says ‘Enough with the boomerangs,’ but some millennials still hold on to tradition. What’s your take on boomerangs?
They are fun!
To each their own.
Just keep it away from my feed, please.
#16
Vine vs. TikTok
Poll Question
Some people say ‘Vine walked so TikTok could run.’ I am some people. What do you think?
Bring it back pls!
Both are good tbh.
TikTok has changed the game.

What a terrible article. First, am sooo tired of defining EVERYTHING by generations. It's so dividing and abitrary. Second, WHAT is this list about anyway??? Many of those things have been around for a long time, so now they're trends? Says who? And third, do we really need to opinionate about ppl wearing headbands or whatever??? Sigh. OK I did not read all entries, maybe I missed something good.
Lou Cam 7 months ago
Also some of these were very much linked to different areas of the world. The terminology and trends differ in that place outside of the US...the rest of the world.
