You may think that older generations favour flats more than youngsters do, but this viral video (and the reactions to it) prove that’s not quite the case. The clip, which now has 6.3 million likes on TikTok, shows the entire venue (which appears to be some sort of club) in a combo of jeans, a nice top or T-shirt and.

Captioned ‘POV it’s a Friday night at your local in 2024’, user @amandaleefarinaa seems to be making light of the fact that fashion trends have changed quite a bit in the last decade or so.

The best part of going out was getting all dolled up!’ While Mae Leslie added: ‘Bring back Paris Hilton club fashion.’ Serena Marie also touched on the strict dress codes of yesteryear, saying: ‘I remember when we couldn’t enter if we had jeans on 😑.

If you don’t like it then don’t dress like them’, keen to advocate for people to dress however they please – whichever generation they are a part of. And, well, it’s not like Millennials didn’t ever wear flats to the club. Lest we forget tactically stuffing our clutch bags with ballet pumps to wear on the walk home or the savvy sellers who’d peddle flip flops outside of clubs, knowing that as soon as last orders were called, we’d all be kicking off the heels to give our poor soles a rest.
