What made Gen Z not follow the trend of low waisted skinny jeans?

As Gen Z began coming of age, one major fashion trend that changed was the decline of skinny jeans and low waisted pants in general.

When Millennials were coming off age in the early 2000s, skinny jeans were EVERYWHERE! They were the primary style of pants on the market and even the world’s most famous celebrities would wear it to major events and red carpets.

However starting around the early 2010s, the length of pants began increasing gradually and nowadays it seems like high waisted pants are the go to for Gen Z.

What factors might’ve caused Gen Z to fall out of love with low rise jeans? Did they view it as “old school” since it was a phenomenon from the last generation? Was it other social factors? Was it simply the nature of fashion trends?

What is the most dangerous city in your country in terms of per capita stats?

In the US, Memphis was rated as the city with the highest violent crime rate per 100k and is top 3 in homicide rates.

Cities like St. Louis, Baltimore and New Orleans tend to make appearances on this as well from a year to year basis. Places like Gary and Camden are also very sketchy but are often deemed as too small to be considered a "city."

Which city in your country is often rated as the most dangerous?

Which country in each continent are the most similar to the US?

I know US influence exists virtually everywhere in the world at this point but which country in each continent would you say are the most similar to the US?

Based on my own experience, I’d say:

North America - Canada (as much as this makes the Canooks seethe)

South America - Brazil (lots of parallels to the U.S.)

Europe - UK (as much as this also makes the Brits seethe)

Asia - South Korea (from personal travel experience)

Oceania - Australia (as much as this also makes the Aussies seethe)

Africa - probably South Africa (maybe Liberia?)

Curious to hear your thoughts on your own experiences

Why did football (soccer) not become the number one sport in Canada, Australia and NZ despite tons of immigration from the UK in the 20th century?

It’s understandable why soccer is not the main sport in the US as most Americans of British ancestry are several centuries removed from the UK and had officially cut ties with Britain during a time when sports like horse racing and cricket were still the number 1 sport in the UK - football didn’t become the most popular sports in the UK until the late 1800s (one whole century post-revolution).

However, in contrast, countries like Australia, Canada and NZ never cut ties with the UK and until 50 years ago, the majority of immigrants to all 3 countries were from the UK and Ireland, with numbers peaking in the decades following WWII, when football had already become massive in Britain. Despite that, the biggest sport in Australia, Canada and NZ are Aussie rules football, ice hockey and rugby, respectively, instead of football/soccer.

This phenomenon is especially odd when you consider that a lot of soccer fans and players in all 3 countries are recent first/second immigrants who are not of British stock, and brought their love of the game over from their “old country” and introduced it to their children.

Why did the millions of British immigrants who moved to Australia, Canada and NZ over the past 100 years not influence each nation to be just as football crazed as Britain is? What factors might explain this?

I think this image sums up Dubai and every city in the Gulf region as a whole, from Dubai to Doha to Abu-Dhabi to Kuwait City. They can all be broadly summarized as cities with a handful of new high rises, a bunch of giant highways, wide roads with limited sidewalks, and large shopping malls filled with American and other international chains.

Car centric lifestyles are essentially the norm in Dubai and much of the wealthier Petro states in the Middle East as well since owning a large car is widely seen as a sign of wealth and privilege (the extreme desert heat certainly doesn't help either), and their urban design reflects that.
