The funny thing is that in his idiocy/trying too hard, he missed the whole "this trend is low key making fun of white people' angle.

That's ripe for the boomer-cringe content he seems keen to make

Ill never complain about anyone's attire.

I am a white dude that likes Jordan lows and watches NBA basketball. I am as white as white can be, love mayo, but also don't mind a nice pair of sneakers.

I’ve worn quarter zip pullovers for 30 years or longer. I have 4-5 in my closet right now. Just ordered one last week from Land’s End on a Black Friday promo.

Apparently African American men now think that they invented the trend of wearing short zip sweaters


No they don't

Nevermind the fact that white men have been wearing them for decades with very notable figures like Peyton Manning. It's really hilarious.


You and the guy in the video I guess don't realize what a trend is. They aren't claiming they invented the look, they are just sporting a typical white guy look.... which is what made the trend popular.

If you watch the video, the black guy never says they invented wearing quarter zips.

The cringe guy just runs with it b/c he's trying too hard to make boomer content.

Now, is there a recent trend of black guys wearing quarter zips? Yes. Saying that is not anywhere the same as saying they "invented" it.


Yea, it's not that hard to understand.

That statement is a bit ambiguous. Are you saying that wearing quarter zips only became a trend because black guys started wearing them?

I mean surely you're familiar with social media trends right?

Last year bell bottoms became a trend. Were ex hippies pissed off because people started wearing bell bottoms?

Black dudes all over are starting to wear quarter zips because of a social media trend.. But for some reason people are mad that black guys are dressing nice I guess. No one is out there saying that they were the first people to wear quarter zips, it's just a random trend that took off this year.

I’m not mad about black people dressing nicely. I’ve been wearing quarter zips for years, and I was not aware of any social media trend. I have noticed that they are much more readily available now.

Is someone butthurt because black kids are dressing nice. So they can dress nice, but it just can't be in a style that white people wear?

Agreed.
