The length and kind of chain that the wallet was attached to was super important, and ultimately made the final decision on whether a person was actually hip, or just a poser. These are the three simple rules every teenager should (or should have) follow to make sure that their wallet chain is hip:
1. The longer the better
2. The spikier the better
3. Don't be caught dead without one
How could such a useful invention dwindle its way out of style? The answer is beyond me. With the 2000's appently came a decrease in pickpocketings because if you are wearing a wallet chain now you are either a biker, or dont watch t.v.
I've never been a fan of wallet chains but then again I don't have a wallet to carry around. Your post is exactly what the guys thought when the wallet chain was popular. I remember walking around high school seeing guys wearing them and comparing them, its true the bigger and spikier the better. This post made me think about why they were useful for guys it makes more sense to me now.
ReplyDeleteOK, I do not like wallet chains, but I like the concept of your blog. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of 90's related cool stuff you will post. Maybe something about Rocko's Modern Life or something from Nickelodeon. Speaking of Nick, have you seen their new line up? Their new late night programing is going to include a mix of 90's shows including ALL THAT.
ReplyDeleteI've never been a fan of wallet chains either. Just not my style I guess. I do like the concept of your page though and can definitely agree that numerous things should "still be cool."
ReplyDeleteYou are right. It's safe to have a wallet chain if you live in a big city. But I think the shorter the nicer. Maybe because it's our fad back home. Also, I feel like you chain yourself when you have a longer one.
