Bell Bottoms seem to go in and out of style periodically. Wikipedia thinks there was a revival in the late 90s, and another in fashion circles in the early 2020s.

It is weirdly hard to find a vintage photo of bell bottoms that isn't AI generated. I rejected about 5 in a row which failed an online AI tester. I think the one below is legit.

I wish it was at least labeled!

There was a whole fake Atari ad which I nearly posted as real, until I found a Snopes page debunking it. A bunch of semi-reputable web sites spoke of it as if it was real.

I try to research the stuff I post, which takes time and effort, and it's still inevitable to mistake some of them, especially when there's a real history along side a fake ad and it all ends up conflated.
