Yall. I’ve been seing alts wearing these sillie pants for the past couple of blog weeks, and I’ve been wondering what to call them. Do u think they are significant threat to skinny jeans, or are boot cut jeans about to ‘come back’? Or are stepdad jeans/standup comedian jeans the future?
Even blipsters are wearing these altGenie pants, yall!

So what should we call them?
- genie pants
- altGenie Pants
- Poopy McPoop Pants
- SHIT HOLDERS
- Pants Where Ur P00P can chill in for a while
- “Oops I Crapped My” Pants
I think I prefer OOPS I CRAPPED MY pants because they already have a commercial.

What do yall think?
Will altBros really be willing to give this look a try?

I’m betting on bootcut. If my personal brand is doomed to be aligned with Ryan Adams, lets just go whole hog.

we should endorse clothing sensitive to the unfortunately amply thighed and assed alt

@Jordie, and just because “designers” are doing it, we should all blindly follow their lead without thinking about it, regardless of how ridiculous a concept might be? it’s what happened with electro. unoriginal music for unoriginal thinkers.

lol, i am wearing them right now! my altGrandma sent them from Seoul last year. i didn’t like them at first but they are supercomfy. but i haven’t worn them in public, not brave/alt enuff i guess, yall. (OR, cuz they’re patently stupid/poopy.) i did wear them once at home while i was living with my bf last year, and his reaction was funnie. he was an entry-level cool dad who thinks i have good style only because i don’t dress mainstream.

Is it a requisite to fill your pants up with poop, or can you just pretend, and if so can I borrow poop from friends since I only poop once every 2 weeks / can I use dog poop or cow poop

i dont know if its been said already but i actually think in some of those pics its guy that actually are wearing tops as their pants. a while ago or maybe its still taht way a bunch of the mannequins at uniqlo were wearing sweaters as pants and it looked just like that?
Reply
clearly, they’re designed with a purpose. you can stuff your crotch with a pair of skinnies to change into once you’ve been ridiculed long enough.
I wonder if you rub them long enough, an mc hammer genie will come out?
