The classics never go out of style. When Grunge came along, everybody got excited about jeans, t shirts, flannel shirts, and Chucks, but that's what we wore to school every day in the 60s and 70s. Young people just didn't know about it during the New Wave 80s, although it actually continued in most places with the kids who didn't buy into the New Wave styles. But since Grunge, it's just gone back to being the standard male teen slacker style.
