Millennials hit back after Gen Z decide wearing specific shoes on night out makes you ‘old’

There's yet another clothing debate between the two generations

There's yet another major divide that's seemingly surfaced between Gen Z and their predecessors, Millennials.

Now, we already know all about the skinny jean controversy, the downfall of crop-tops - and don't even get me started on the ankle/crew sock debate.

But the latest disparity between the two generations has left many of those born between 1981 and 1996 beyond baffled.

Clearly feeling a tad called out, Millennials have since hit back after Gen Z decided that wearing specific shoes on night out apparently makes you 'old'.

From the drink prices and the music to the hairstyles and pre-drinking rituals, it seems like clubbing in 2024 is miles apart from clubbing back in the golden Y2K era.

It seems like those born between 1997 and 2012 have done away with the blisters, aching ankles and bunions brought on by six-inch heels on a Friday night and have opted for a far more comfy alternative.

A clip from one nightlife hotspot has since gone viral on TikTok after showing all the gals dressed in an extremely similar dress code - baggy jeans, a nice top and trainers.

And 90s babies have since rushed to the comments in their masses claiming they 'wouldn't be seen dead' in such shoes on a night out and instead reminisced over the nostalgia of getting all 'dolled up'.

One comment which received dozens of dozens of likes read: "OMG I would have hated this when I was in my 20s.

"The best part of going out was getting all dolled up."

A second wrote: "I remember when we couldn’t enter a nightclub if we had jeans on."

"When I was clubbing you couldn't enter wearing jeans or sneakers," recalled a third.

A fourth Millennial moaned: "Omg like whyyyyyyy???? The funnest thing was getting all dressed up in dresses and heels!!!"

"So happy I had my club days in the 2000s and 2010s," penned a fifth, while another Millennial added: "Fashion has definitely changed, I’m 35 and when we used to go out clubbing it was mini dresses and the tallest heels going even when it was snowing outside."

Others, however, were totally embracing on the comfier footwear when hitting the town with one writing: "As a ‘91 girl who HATED wearing heels in the 00s, I salute these young girls and I mimic them with every fibre of my being.

"Just let me enjoy my night in comfort. Thank you."

"They look so comfy and still cute," praised a second. "I don’t miss my feet aching after the club."

And a final TikTok user echoed: "And all of them look cute, confident and comfortable!"

Times sure have changed - eh?
