I got some parachute pants when I was around 11 or 12 because I thought they were cool, and were the only fad I actually got excited about. Those were some comfy pants!

In high school grunge got popular, which worked out for since I was already wearing worn out jeans, tshirts, and flannel shirts due to living in a rural area. Not sure if trends catching up with me counts as being part of the fad, but I did like the music.

I wear parachute pants when I can, although I usually just wear a sarong, as those are even more comfortable than pants.

Remember that nirvana came from a rural area.
