Yes, I lived in San Francisco then and knew many people whose arms were completely tattooed, and some who had facial tattoos and multiple facial piercings, as well as genital piercings. Not my thing, but to each his or her own.
The 90s fashions will never be as revolting to me as the 80s, with the big, permed hair, overalls, and high-waisted jeans.
I think people in general had a more optimistic "playful" spirit in the 80's/90's. Now everyone my age (Late 20's) is just depressed and has a bleak outlook on society. :/ Also if you watch tv shows (which seem to influence fashion) a lot of the actors/actresses dress the same. That or they dress very nice with clothes we would never wear on the street. Look back at "Friends" and they wore clothes that everyone could wear out.
Does anyone else remember the trend where skeggins were popular? At least for the crowd who was in elementary school in the 90s? Leggings sewn under a skirt, usually with a think elastic waistband. Perfect "gym" attire.
Back in the day, girl's jeans often had no back pockets; the smooth look always made a lady's posterior more attractive at any age.
Utterly untrue. The only thing that makes women's rear ends look wider than pants with too-small back pockets are pants with NO back pockets. Jeans with no back pockets are simply the worst (and basically impossible to find outside the geriatric, elastic waist chambray trouser-style jeans popular with elderly women seeking a casual look).

Oh, yuck. There's a reason that those jeans are sold in variety catalogs right along side the "personal massagers". I was flipping through one of those catalogs at my mother's house and I remarked to her that anyone who orders their wardrobe through these catalogs pretty much has to take matters into their own hands.
The rise, fit, and positioning of the pockets all have a lot to do with whether someone's backside looks like an apple or a coal shovel.
Anyhow, I remember the bicycle shorts under the boxers look. Vaguely remember the skeggings. I do remember the leggings under skirts or flared tunics and shirts with belled - out sleeves. And patterned stockings. Good god, I remember having a pair of lime-green stockings and wearing a pair of black fishnets over top.
And rayon or even see through button-down shirts with a spaghetti strap tank top underneath.
I just remembered the tee-shirt/body suit thingies that snapped together at the crotch! Oh my those were terrible. Made going to the restroom extra fun too.

The "sloppy" look you reference was related to the grunge movement. I'm one of those Gen Xers who never changed. I still wear flannels, plain t-shirts, and maintain an unkempt appearance (as much as I can with a real job now).
It's still convenient and cheap. That never goes out of style in my book.
I like some of the music and artists from that era, but the fashion just seems very bland and sloppy. Maybe it was some sort of rebellion following the 80's?
