I never understood “fads”.

tattoos, piercings, bleached/dyed hair.

I have no problem if young people want to have armpit hair, dyed purple, red, green, blue hair. Body piercings, tattoos, or horns growing out of their heads. However, I am sick of their Social Justice, PC, Woke VIRTUE SIGNALING at ever opportunity about:
Man Made climate change
White Privilege
LGBTxyz everything!
Womens inequality
Socialism
Yet MORE gun control laws
And many more causes they embrace! Go effing start a war to protest and leave me alone!

Apparently none of you recall your parents looks of horror at your attire and grooming.

I was raised in a home and taught the importance of attire and grooming. I didn't and wouldn't do anything to discredit my parents. I respected them.

Clothes were so precious, and money so scarce, in my home growing up that I can’t imagine why any teenager would dishonor themselves that way.

Accentuating your armpits is a special kind of disgusting. A whole different level than long hair (on the head) and bell bottoms that shocked our parents. It’s not that the women grow the armpit hair, that’s natural and nothing wrong with it if you don’t like shaving. It’s decorating it with colors and showing it off online I find really distasteful.

you know absolutely nothing about my attire and grooming.

I remember it well. If I pushed the edges of taste, my parents set me straight. And I was a teenager in the '60s. Where are these kids parents?
That question (where are the parents, and what are they teaching their kids) is my only complaint about young people today. They are merely acting as they are taught, or allowed.

Well, healthy kids like to push boundaries. It’s how they learn and differentiate themselves from their parents. Their biggest concern is how NOT TO BE YOU.
They may not be totally aware of it, but their second biggest concern is learning how to be an independent adult. That gets stymied a lot by stupid parents who do what the kids ought to be doing, with the result that the kid doesn’t learn and, worse, expects the world to keep doing things for him.
I know young people who had tattoos removed and tried to minimize the appearance of piercings when it became apparent those weren’t flying in the job market they were trying to enter.
Life has a way of softening out the desire to appear shocking and weird. But it is a problem these days when identity politics gives shocking and weird behavior legitimization or even a free pass extending to behavior.

I was a teenager in the mid to late 70's. The only thing I had was slightly longish hair. It was barely over my ears and my Dad would be asking me at the dinner table when I was going to get a hair cut. lol.

High school in the 70s. I raged against the machine in the SF Bay Area by being in ROTC.

According to my 11 year old cousin, grunge is starting to come back into style. I hated grunge and I was in middle and high school when grunge was at its peak.

Don’t you understand? We have to protect these young people’s self esteem. They have never been told “no” even once in their life, so there’s no way mom or dad is going to start now.

One of my fraternity brothers got his left ear pierced (circa 1978-1980 range). He went home for Thanksgiving. His parents said nothing. Pretended not to notice.
However his dad was a Chicago Police Detective. Every Friday was poker night for him and his police buddies. That night everyone showed up at his house wearing their wives’ gaudiest, biggest clip-on earrings while playing poker. None of the cops said a single word about it; they just drank, smoked, and played poker.
Master-level parenting.
Mark let his pierced ear grow closed.

That is frickin hilarious!
Although if I recall my code signals from that timeframe, a left pierced ear meant you were gay. A right piercing meant you were... no wait, I have that backwards....

Never had an earring, and never will, unless I become a pirate and sail with Blackbeard or similar. But the saying was, Left is Right, and Right is WRONG. LOL!
Gay = Wrong. Back when the world was normal. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :)

Yea, I think you had that backwards. Otherwise he would have had double the ridicule.
