Hi drew, love the content
No
No way
"we were raised with MANNERS" bro literally anyone who has worked in customer service knows that old people are the rudest and coldest age group
For SURE the most impatient, rude and always demanding the most free crap while thinking they're entitled to being respected. Nobody believes "the customer is always right" like boomers do.
@@TM-vg9vu damn right
for real!! when i worked at mcdonalds it was always older people who would complain and yell and make the cashiers cry (i have cried more than once at work because of people like that) and it was always young people who were polite and patient... yet boomers seem to think that manners "dont exist anymore"... oh they absolutely do, its your generation that forgot them!! (sorry for the rant lol i hated that job)
"We were raised with MANNERS!"
"Too bad it didn't stick : ( "
Yessss
The best part is when they say they “were raised right.” That implies they raised us wrong, which is their fault.
Everyone knows Gen Z was grown in a vat, by the Evil Globalists!!!1
To be honest most older Gen Zs were raised by Gen X
@@Sam-vy8ye and most millennials and a chunk of Gen X were raised by boomers

"there were no CPS workers to come to your house". That's one way to make people aware about how horrible you are without even having to talk to you.
For real, because why are you bragging about that?
That one guy who said, “Switch whipping is NOT abuse!”
I don’t even know what that is, but it sounds like it would leave a mark.
@@TPRM1basically the parent would tell the child to go get a stick, or a “switch” from the yard and beat them with it. It was some fucked up mix of “pick your own punishment” and getting beat by your parents as ‘discipline’
@@karmajester6504 Jesus CHRIST. That is some fucked-up psychological torture.

“Kids these days have no respect.” - The people who raised them.
they seem to believe their children do as they say instead of copy the behavior their parents display
I don't have kids... but I do blame the parents.
Kids these days don’t have any respect or manners
-The same people who judge other people because they’re gay or not white
They're probably also the same people who yell at retail and restaurant workers over the tiniest of shit
@@someperson1727 haha I started working fast food and my coworkers get madder than the customers. Sometimes I feel like they get mad just because they want to be mad
The NERVE of boomers complaining that “people these days are offended by everything and it’s ruining cinema!” when THEY cancelled STAR TREK because they were offended by an interracial kiss
Those are the same people who complain about every marvel movie when it comes out cuz it has "magic" and it is corrupting the youth or something and then go watch a 50s sitcom with a fucking laughing track and "women belong in the kitchen" jokes.
oh and they tried to cancel french fries and “reinvent them as freedom fries” LMFAO
lmao right. I can't think of any good examples since I wasn't alive during that era (at least when it was at its worst) , but imagine just how many movies couldn't be shown or even sold because it had LGBT themes in it.
I'm also not sure its just a boomer thing but i remember the older generation really hating movies or games that had too much sexual tension or violence. Its interesting to read into but one time there was a president that had a part of a speech that went something like: "We well not be a Simpsons time country, our families will be like the Wilsons"
Wait, really? lol
Definitely hypocrites, but of course in their mind, their complaints are "serious" while ours are not. How convenient for them..
The “we used to be able to make jokes” thing is rich coming from people who get offended over the existence of
-gay people
-women having jobs
-single mothers
-interracial marriages
-people saying “okay boomer” and “Happy Holidays”
Also I love how the first part of the (real) meme talks about minding one’s business but they shame women for dressing a certain way and people for not beating their children.
Is it ok to group an entire generation over harmful stereotypes? Because these stereotypes directly insult your entire list of people…
@@bigmac92 Ya, ultra woke people are not too bright.
@@bigmac92 a majority of boomers are like this, so yes it is.
@@bigmac92 like Coffee Games said there is a common theme which inspired my comment but I also literally never said it was all of them 🤷🏼♀️ - just the ones that you know…actually make these comments
Also…have you heard the things they’ve said about millennials/Gen Z because…that can get even more ridiculous
I like to think that as a 15 year old who can write cursive, use a rotary phone, read a clock with hands, and says "excuse me", I am feared by boomers everywhere

put them in a room with no food, no water no means of escape.

Same here, and don’t forget doing math without a calculator!
“You young people are so rude.”
Then they call people racial slurs
Or my dad, as the girl is walking by “look at those tattoos! Don’t they look terrible? Tattoos are bad”. Ya I’m pretty sure he heard. So embarrassing
Is this comment stolen too?
@@Mama_Bear524 Glad my dad is not the only one always complaining about the looks of other people :)
@@Mama_Bear524 For some reasons my mum just loves to point out how tight girls' pants are while she is driving, maybe just stop looking at their ass and focus on the road? I remember once a couple of years ago we were at the mall she said "how could she walk around in that?" about a random girl and I said without even realizing mind your own business or something and she was really pissed for a while. just so rude for no reason.
Most boomers aren’t racist
My favourite thing about boomers praising themselves for being 'raised right' is them criticising younger generations for not being 'raised right' as if it wasnt them doing the raising
LOL. They seem not to be very good at self reflection
All of the lead in their paint and gasoline short circuited their cognitive reasoning
Right? Like everytime they complain about participation trophies, I'm just like "uh we didn't give those to ourselves"
@@4everbuffylover a lot of millienials are the children of boomers
@@4everbuffylover And a lot of gen z have boomer parents
I swear they are the most judgmental and horrible when it comes to kids with disabilities. I’ve had boomers scream at me about my autistic four year old . who mind u wasn’t even screaming but was just repeating a sound. I’ve gotten stares and rude comments from these supposedly polite old people for a disability my son cannot control.
the kind of people who yell at an autistic person having a meltdown. they're absolutely unhinged and it's kinda horrifying
My nana is really progressive but even she could not fathom how I could be proud of my mental disability. Back in the day, mentally disabled was the worst thing someone could be.
What are you talking aboooout your son is making it up and it's up to you to raise him out of it 😉 👍👍
@@aftonstan5494 Nobody should be "proud" of such trivial nonsense. Disabilities deserve recognition and acceptance, but pride is just... no. I'm not proud of the struggles I have to face on a daily basis; they do make my life worse, that is why they call it a "disability". I wouldn't expect able-bodied/neurotypical people to be proud of being able-bodied/neurotypical; sounds gross, right? Well, I think of it the same way as being proud of having a disability.
It is fine to be proud of yourself for finding peace with your disability, but being proud of the very disability itself? That's a gross romanticism of arrogance.
Be proud of the good work you do instead. Be proud of doing good things and being a good person. But never take pride in your identity, or it will always separate you from other people.
@@nomoretwitterhandles "nooo you have to hate your disability don't be proud of who you are!!!!"
I'm a boomer. When I was in my teens, my dad called us "The me generation." When older folks say that about younger folks, it's a passive-aggressive move.
This is so interesting, thank you for sharing! I never knew you guys were called that back in the day
History nerd here! Every old generation has something negative to say about newer generations! One of my favorite examples of this is that the myth of Victorians and tight corsets actually originated in the 30s from an article making fun of the old generation.
I thought you were gonna say a right of passage lol
I love how that's every single generation. Wasn't it Socrates that said that writing was gonna make the younger generation dumber and harm their memories?
I'd like to think that my generation could hopefully stop this train, but I'm also having a grumpy old man phase hating the things that Gen Alpha are into, and I'm only 18.

“I refused to argue with anyone born after 1995”
Thank you for being so kind and sparing me my brain cells! I didn’t wanna hear anymore bullsh!t from you so that’s very kind
As a person born in 95, I wish the cutoff was earlier.
@@caidalee1994 can you please tell the older people to stop infantilizing those younger than them and acting like age is the only decider on whether or not you can be taken seriously? Thanks, they wont listen to me when I try to do it.
@@pokaay3163 sorry, man, they don’t listen to me either because “those darn millennials”. Then again, they just don’t seem to listen period, so I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
@@pokaay3163
Older people are so entitled and stuck in their less efficient and actively harmful ways that there is no convincing them. They’d prefer a phone that’s actively more difficult to use and women not dress however makes them comfortable, than a phone that’s actively easier to use and modern women feeling comfortable just because they can’t deal with change
It’s impossible. So if they refuse to talk to me because I’m born after 1995, I see this as an absolute win
I suddenly regret being born in 1994.
The problem is that people my age and older (40+) used to be able to make the world do whatever we wanted by just being agressive and blustery enough. We could demand whatever we wanted and it worked. Then it stopped working and its like whaaaaa? Some of us figured out it was wrong and stupid. Others haven't figured it out yet. Young people stand up for themselves now and I'm so proud of them. If I'm ever in a store and I see someone picking on a young worker I like to use my previously acquired skills on the other customer until they leave. I can't get fired.
You are an absolute gift and I hope someone like you shows up at your darkest moment
i hope you have a great day!
I like how they say that 70s-90s music is better than modern pop music, as if their parents didn't claim that rock music was invented by the devil.
I was literally about to comment this💀
There's a difference between criticism of pointless empty modern pop music, and calling it evil from hell.
As if the 70s-90s didn't have tons of shitty music. It's just nostalgia again. There are just as many good songs over the last two decades.
@@216trixie A lot of the songs from the 70's-80's we consider classics now didn't even make the top 100. Popular stuff could be just as vapid as it is now. It's just a lot easier for us to point it out and track it online
@@davidmaka6742 Yeah, the songs on classic rock stations are just the ones that were good enough to stick around. Even then I don’t like a decent amount of the 70’s/80’s songs that are still played.
"Our generation didn't get offended so easily!"
Your generation lynched people if they drank at the wrong water fountain.
THIS IS THE COMMENT.
Ahh I remember when American Bandstand got a lot of hate mail because Frankie Lymon, a black singer, danced with a white girl. SO NOSTALGIC
I LOVE THIS
That must be the biggest roast of all time.
Wokesters still do
“what happens at home stays at home” is a genuinely terrifying sentiment. I was told this a lot, and it always scared me, I felt like I couldn’t tell anyone anything, and when I did, it all blew up in my face and I got in a lot of trouble. It’s genuinely traumatizing.
You know the reason it seems like a lot of old music is better? It’s because we only kept the good music, no one is saving the old music they don’t like so it disappears
Survivor Ship Bias is a name for that concept
All these old people who talk about how they were "raised with manners" and are "so polite" are the same ones who bully and degrade customer service workers.
when i was a kid, at the dollar store my boomer mom once told me loudly that we were different from the other poor people and the service workers at the dollar store because "we have class." in that moment i knew it was bullshit and every time i see her or another boomer doing some similar bullshit i go back to that moment and feel lost in this lifelong mystery of "why do people of her age act like that"
Yes, the "I know your busy and it's dinner rush, but the world revolves around me and I'd like to talk to your manager because it's been ten minutes and my foods not up" 🙄😒
The moment everyone around 40 enters the store my heart rate goes up
A customer service worker here 👋🏼 most of the people who bully and degrade me are of all ages pretty equally.
Exactly!!!! The high schoolers and college kids that come into my coffee stand are way nicer than the weird boomers that snap their fingers to get my attention instead of just saying hi
And as a historian, I can assure you there never were the “good old days.” Just times that people romanticize and conveniently gloss over horrific aspects of.
I'm not sure who said it first, but the line "nostalgia is just heroin for old people" always stuck with me. :-)
I agree, but does that means there were no “bad present day” too? Just wondering
@@kitni I think I understand what you’re saying. If I do, then I agree. The present day is definitely not “great” or perfect, and I’m sure future generations will look back and criticize things. And rightly so! We’re always progressing, evolving, and hopefully trying to move forward. That requires a lot of work, and it’s definitely not easy or fun. I definitely hope our children will have a better world than we do, and if we can help them get there, then we should do that. If they make it happen, then I’ll be happy still. Progress is progress. :)
Good old days just kinda look back when people were young/younger. Was the world perfect when i was 10? No. But i didnt have any bils or a job and got to play outside all day.
as a history student, there's several plagues/pandemics every century going back millennia
The fact that half the boomers are flirting with extremely obvious bots is kind of ridiculous and also extremely creepy
That's exactly how they want women to talk. Like a thoughtless robot.

"They don't wear the same underwear as their mothers and grandmothers"
We do, Gladys. We just don't call them girdles anymore, they're shapewear.
Well I'd hope most people buy new underwear and not wear hand-me-downs from their mums and grandmas. 🙃
I'll never forget though when I was doing work experience in the lingerie department of a store and an elderly woman came up to me and whispered, "Excuse me, but do you sell any . . . panty girdles?" 14-year-old me was so confused and traumatised. 💀
@@tinyblueunicorn7807 LMAO they stopped putting me in lingerie department because I refused to be delicate with the subject. Customers would whisper about their desired "unmentionables" and I'd talk at a normal volume and pissed so many people off, especially old ladies.

It’s really scary when people like this say “I was hit as a kid and I turned out fine, so I can’t wait to hit MY kid.” Like… I don’t think you turned out fine
I was never hit growing up, and everyone asked my parents on how they disciplined me so well. My mom would always tell them that she just “reasons with me” and they would say something along the lines of “my kid is too stupid to reason with”
No dude, I think you’re too incompetent and violent to be able to reason with anyone!
honestly.. I was spanked by my grandparents and I remember each and every time they burst into my room to hit me. It was 100% a fear tactic and I can't imagine inflicting that on my kids.
Yeah that's definitely someone who should not have kids
I cant speak for every child, but what my mom has done with me and my 6 sisters was just speaking in a very relaxed and happy for 24/7, and when one of us would act up she would get down on our level and drop her voice. It stopped literally everyone in their tracks hearing it. No punishment needed other than that lmao
Having that attiudite towards disciplining your kids is not good.
'We called it being a little brat' like bruh developmental psychology has advanced so much, it took till the 60s for people to realize babies have emotional needs and now we have research coming out that may prove time-out is disruptive to the development of healthy emotional regulation. Also thier talking about a time when autism, adhd, and bipolar disorder were considered schizophrenia, the DSM was 200 pages, and it included being gay. Clearly we have advanced beyond that and who knows what parenting techniques that are perfectly acceptable now will be proven to hurt a childs development in 50 years?
Familiar name
These boomers have inspired me to not only not wear pantyhose, but i will no longer be wearing underwear. or pants. or clothes in general.
In my day we didn't have fancy clothes or expensive make-up, we rubbed our faces with natural dirt and wore leaves and nettles we found in the Garden of Eden as our Lord intended.
Remember when we all collectively got together to yell death threats and slurs at a 6 year old black girl for attending the same school as our white kids in 1960s ? 😍✨ Those were the days! ✨🇺🇸

@@Z64sports bro, your parents arent the only two boomers in existence
@@Z64sports "Half", you just pulled this statistic from the 2 boomers you know lmao. It's a lot more than just half
one of the most frustrating things is when they talk about how well-mannered they are and then proceed to go on social media and say the rudest shit. i have an aunt who will use the same copy pasta like every two months about how ridiculous it is that walmart makes you do self check out and if she does it, she won't let the person check their receipt because "if you make me check myself out, you have to trust i'm not stealing." and it's just??? the worker checking the receipts doesn't know if you used self-check out or not 😭 please just let them do their fucking job because it takes like 10 seconds. but then after they treat workers like that, they proceed to say "nobody wants to work these days!" and it's like.... yeah bc people like you make working retail hell. the jobs where there's low contact with customers are barely open because people want those jobs so they're treated like humans.
They were a generation raised by parents that gave them whatever they wanted, they never had to work hard for anything.
I'm 33 and grew up with a single parent father. He never hit me to discipline me. I grew up quite quiet and wasn't "out of control" he did an amazing job on his own and I have good emotional skills because of him. I'm able to talk through my problems and try and evaluate them. I will never understand these parents who are actually proud of smacking their kids around because it is so unnecessary in order to get your kids to listen, to respect you or to "follow" rules.
I love old people who are all "i was raised to be polite!" The majority of rude people I encounter in public ARE OLD PEOPLE.
these people think politeness is just saying excuse me after you sneeze though you gotta remember that
The same type of people that tell you it's rude to stare until they see POC or people with dyed hair
Rules for thee but not for me
Humans are natural hypocrites
@@cheruwu9659 POC with dyed hair: 😰😰
Some old people are assholes, but others are just picky, as someone working in food service. If you make polite conversation with them though, they’re the most likely to tip you, because they actually remember to, whereas younger people just don’t ever tip.
TBH, I’ll take one old lady making me take something back to the kitchen over some “influencer” that speaks down to you and doesn’t even tip
also another hot take: you don’t gain respect just from being older. you gain respect if you respect others. a lot of elderly people are rude as hell and expect you to treat them like gods
Yes. "respect your elders" is such a farce
@@imzabatch people expecting you to simply respect anyone without reason is a farce. I always tell people that they don't have to respect anybody if they don't give it back. "Elders," your parents, siblings, whatever, if they don't respect you, don't waste energy respecting them.
I completely agree with this
You shouldn't shame an old person for having to work still either. My grandparents busted their asses their whole lives and had to work until my granddad got dementia and my gram got cancer. They were proud of their careers and loved their jobs, but they would have loved to retire before illness forced them to. The fact that we don't just guarentee the necessities to *simply live* is disgusting
Friendly reminder that respect has two meanings: treating someone as an authority, and treating someone as a human. Everyone is deserving of the latter. But yeah no you don’t automatically deserve to be respected as an authority just because you’ve lived longer. It’s what you’ve done with that time that matters.
I wanna make an outlandish ig account that only kids from the early 1800s can relate to
lmaoo you should
When I was a kid, we didn't have "workers' rights" or "child labour laws", we never sat around freeloading off of our parents, and we certainly didn't expect handouts. Kids today are so ungrateful. A few weeks in a coal mine might do them some good!
As someone with a history degree, I would watch that.
A thing to note is that this happens every generation. Douglas Adams puts it best: "I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things."
Bragging about lead paint is such an insane thing.
"Hey, me and my generation were exposed to chemicals that are proven to impair our cognitive development, and we are PROUD of it!"
"Hello yes I'm man, I got Lead Poisoning and IT WAS FECKING AWESOME!! WOOOOH"
That would be like the people in Flint, Michigan bragging about their water full of lead lmao
One of the first effects of lead poisoning is it makes you not care that you're being poisoned.
I think that's the cognitive stunting kicking in, I know this because when I was younger I got high off of marker fumes, and snuck into a church where they were repairing a lead painting and now I have one brain cell working overtime at all times.
That would explain _why_ they're proud of it

Dude I love your content I’m so glad I found this
If meme accounts had existed in the ‘50s, there would absolutely have been accounts full of old folks raised in the Victorian era griping about how young women wearing knee-length skirts didn’t “respect themselves”
“When women had self-respect” HOW ABOUT MEN HAVING RESPECT FOR WOMEN??? 😭😭😭
“kids these days don’t say ‘excuse me’ or ‘pardon me’ anymore”
yes we do, you’re just too old to hear us now 💀
it's all fun and games until the old person can't read their menu right and complains to the manager, but they are just too old and blind.
There’s actually some reasoning behind this in a convoluted way, as younger generations tend to say things like “no problem” instead of “you’re welcome” because they see helping someone as something that is required of them to do, as opposed to older generations who more often see help as a gift you are giving to someone.
As someone who has worked in retail, it’s usually boomers who are the most impolite assholes while young people are largely the most polite and respectful people in the store.
Yess 😂😂 I say that even when I don’t need to 😂
Dead, lol!
I love the defence of "I was beat as a child and I turned out fine" as If the fact that you're now advocating for child abuse isn't proof that you did not turn out fine.
I literally always say this haha
when you were beat as a child and then think it's okay to beat YOUR kids, that means you're in the cycle of abuse.
No boomer get raised well. It's a fact.

They never ask themselves how much better they might have turned out if they weren't beaten as a child.
"Y'all can't even change to HDMI2" has killed me, I am a ghost that used to work IT and have had a thousand people call in to complain about being on the wrong hdmi

@@zonk4881 and you know damn well these are from people that are already very secure in their own income to say shit like that.
like when boomers demand from the young workers and the worker say that it's against the rules or they're not allowed and the boomers throw a hissy fit and tell the worker they're bad at their job, when they literally were just trying to be a good worker and follow the rules, like it's out of the workers control you can't fault them for that
I feel like the people who say everyone gets offended don’t have friends. When you have real friends you can make fun of each other in a lighthearted way and it’ll be funny I do it with my friends, so I’m pretty sure these people are just really lonely.
Also back in those days people didn't have Facebook or Twitter to see whether people were sensitive or not, people probably were (as Drew pointed out, Boomers are offended by certain things, they're just not the same things that younger people/liberals are offended by) but there was no venue for them to air their frustration out
I'm middle eastern and I see how conservative muslims get super offended by anything that doesn't meet their super conservative standards (that make western conservatives look like liberals in comparison) so conservatives in the past definitely got a offended as liberals do these days
It's hilarious how they go on such a spiel about them having respect and how no one else does. That they were taught to respect their parents, their elders, etc. and yet they can't respect anyone younger than them. It's truly disgusting. Respect goes both ways. Children and people who are younger than you deserve just as much respect as your parents and elders.
That's definitely a specific cultural mindset. Not everyone would agree that young people deserve as much respect as older people. That kind of makes me wonder about how American society has changed over the years. I'm assuming you're in the US. In some cultures in the world it's accepted and expected for an elder to treat a younger person as significantly lower or less than them. But those cultures tend to hold conservative values like US society did before like the 1970s. Boomers in the states were likely raised being disrespected and grew up with the expectation that it would be acceptable for them to do the same thing to the youngsters when they got older.

This is the exact reason why other countries call the US a bunch of hypocrites. These boomers can't die off fast enough.
My favorite on the"wholesome vs edgy" boomer tv thing is...All in the Family (Archie Bunker's picture is the one in that meme about melting brains after 1 episode) was...also weirdly progressive. The joke of the show was how *out of touch Archie was* and also breezily featured a multi episode arc about Archie and Edith making friends with a drag performer (Beverly LaSalle!) and then having to grapple with learning their queen friend was murdered in a random act of violence. Also the show featured the *first two explicitly gay* characters on US TV...in a totally different episode. Twin Peaks, beloved committed weirdo TV featured a Transfeminine character whose boss at the FBI cut her coworker off at the knees with the simple dictum of "change your hearts or die" regarding Denise's identity.
So...what about that Boomers?
Its probably like the modern sigma male shit where they just choose to ignore the actual points of things because they believe a certain way and so they'll twist it to be that way.
EXACTLYYY! They fail to realize how their shows were very progressive and I think it’s pop culture’s fault too for misconstruing so many of the lessons these shows taught. Another old show that I really love rn is Miami Vice, a show that has been so HORRIBLY warped by pop culture it makes it seem like the show was only about fast vehicles, hot women, and the cool dudes who bag them, BUT ITS SO MUCH MORE! It shows how the government/cop system is so terribly corrupt that even if there are good cops they end up corrupted, dead, or left in a bad mental state. They even have an episode, “Evan”, about how one of Sonny’s gay friends khs because of the discrimination against him in the workplace. There’s so much more to it then it being “flashy MTV cops”, and I’m disappointed to see old tv shows being used as examples of “non-woke” media, because that’s exactly what they WEREN’T… *sigh*… that got long. I could talk forever abt it tho…

Exactly!! And yet my aunt and grandma and all these people try to use it to prove that everyone's ''too sensitive'' now or ''we could never get away with stuff like that anymore.'' Like, if you actually agree with what they're saying and think it's funny, then you're the people the show's making fun of. @@carliekween
i wish more people understood that discipline =/= abuse. to be clear, spanking kids and sending them to bed without supper is awful regardless of what they've done, and yelling at them never helps. but it feels like a lot of parents my age heard that and their brains translated it as "okay! no punishment, ever"
having empathy for your child is important, and you have to remember they're all still learning how to be a human--that's why you have to show them how. letting your children do whatever they want with no repercussions is only going to hurt them, and others, in the long run.
Figure out what abuse is before you open your mouth. Don’t beat people.

Wait. I may be a stupid millennial, but I'm pretty sure the "wearing a slip" thing has almost nothing to do with modesty. The main practical reason to wear a slip is so that your dress "slips" over your tights/pantyhose instead of hanging up or getting stuck (often because of static electricity). It's just an extra thin layer to essentially make sure your dress hangs correctly on you and moves with you. If you don't wear long skirts with pantyhose then no, you probably don't wear slips because...you don't need to? Why is this such a tragedy??
That's what I was thinking!! Also if you need that extra layer for a dress now, most of the time it's built into the dress? Like why would anyone need a whole separate thing
yeah i have a lot of vintage dresses and a couple of old slips and i didn’t really understand what the fuss was either... also “what do they wear under their dresses NOW” really killed me bc even if your dress fell below your knees and you had a slip on i sure hope everyone in the 50s was also wearing, yknow, underpants
The material of the dress rides the pantyhose. Slips are a silky layer in between to prevent that. We don’t use pantyhose now and also fabrics are made to be less bunchy.
This is what I remember from 80s/90s getting ready for church. I don’t think we wore slips just to have more fabric for modesty. It’s not about modesty.
Yeah that's what I said! The slip is just to keep your dress from bunching up, it has nothing to do with shielding your underwear from view. They also still SELL slips, I had one a few years ago for when I wore leggings a lot.
