Sigh! yet another trend that won't last long.

Heard of it? I hadn't until I caught an item on Woman's Hour this morning. Apparently it's a unisex fashion trend, not quite grunge but about undistinguished clothes. It's said to be 'a reaction to a fashion oversaturation resulting from ever faster-changing fashion trends.' The speaker mentioned jeans, hoodies, sweatshirts, sneakers... Then I looked at what I was wearing: cropped denims, denim sneakers and a turquoise tee-shirt. And until that moment I hadn't realised that I was 'on trend'.

Where are people going to buy vinyl records from, petra, apart from e-bay? 
I must be very normcore, not being on FB or Twitter, and never having downloaded any music. It's certainly a trend I'll be sticking to!
( roses, I think quite a few GNetters may have DHs and/or DSs with those names...
)
I like that!
Normcore must have been invented by people who can't remember the 1950s.
It does sound rather grim. I know we all have sensible functional days for clothing, but with everything else as well - a bit dreary! It smacks of all those strange American cults that force women, and men, into Victorian dress and lifestyles.
