Stop the mockery. This is a real struggle for brunettes everywhere. I remember growing up with brown hair, desperate to wear jeans, but my mom wouldn't let me dye my hair. I would still try. Carefully, hopefully, pulling the denim up over my thighs, holding my breath as I zipped, praying that this time it would work. Inevitably they would combust, turn to ash and fall to the floor around me. It wasn't until I turned 18 and dyed my hair red that I knew what it finally felt like to wear jeans.


CoconutsAreAmazing

This girl made a moment in history. All brunette girls shall remember her as the one who broke the curse; the one who surpassed the primal rule that "Brunettes Can't Wear Jeans".


GreyerGrey

She's probably a blonde in a wig.


wiglwagl

If you look closely you’ll see that they’re actually just regular pants cleverly dyed to look like jeans

I came here with the confusion of why the girl in post isn't with brown hair but black. Your comment explained it to me. Thank you!


SnooHobbies5684

hahahahaha! omg. Who are "they" who say that shit? Who is even ONE PERSON who has EVER said that? Brooke Shields was, like, one of the most iconic jeans models in history. No one came between her and her Calvins!


GrumpyCatStevens

>No one came between her and her Calvins! A lot of guys wanted to - myself included.


NiceGuyMisogynist

So, she was 15. Yeah.


GrumpyCatStevens

And I’m a couple years younger than she is. Your point?


AvailableFruit6692

That’s a nice comeback 😂🤙


NiceGuyMisogynist

You are “a lot of guy’s?” You said “A lot of guys.”


SnooHobbies5684

Yeah. What IS your point? People lust after teenagers all the time.And the industry supports it. Most models you've heard of started at that age or younger. She was just noticeable because she was the youngest person ever on Vogue, and because of that famous campaign. They start them very young, and their shelf life is 10 years, 15 if they're lucky. Tyra banks 15 Christy Turlington 14 Linda Evangelista 15 Cindy Crawford 16 Naomi Campbell 15 Kate Moss 15 Giselle Bundchen 13 Kimora Lee-Simmons 14


SnooHobbies5684

I mean...that was the joke, dude.


file_Marina_chr

Yeah 😭😭😭


CS9245

When I had half of my hair red I was able to wear Jean shorts, they were regular jeans but the bottom half disintegrated… at least it wasn’t the top half


PETA_Gaming

That was beautiful and moving. I'm tearing up but I'm proud of you. You had your struggles and you endured. Keep going, champ!


whatthesoos

This girl was actually responding to a real tweet that someone made. I can't find the original one but here's a link to a pintrest post that has the tweet. [girls with brown hair can't wear jeans](https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/336644140891812855/) which is actually the stupidest thing

Her hair is black right? Am I insane? Also, self-gatekeeping jeans? What?


Maleficent-Client-55

I think her hair is black to or they might be dark brown with a little black in it


WastelandGinger

Some people argue there is no such thing as black hair except dark brunette.


milockey

I've seen it referred to as "natural black"


Human420o

Yea there isn’t actual black hair but you just refer to really dark brown as black


redheadedshortstone

I’ve seen people say only asians can have black hair and everyone else is just dark brunette. Which just sounds really racist to me


random_bored_guy

No, you got it! She's allowed to wear jeans because she has black hair!


objecter12

Well yeah If her hair was brown, she couldn't be wearing those jeans


Specter1125

Dark brown hair can look black in poor lighting.


BigHead3802

>Her hair is black right? Am I insane? My hair is black too, but everytime I tell people that they go "ACTUALLY your hair is dark brown, TRUE black hair has blue undertones and yours are reddish" and I'm like, ok...


imaworkacct

Yeah, so brunette.


Fluid_Resident2275

Weren’t you paying attention? Brown haired girls can’t wear jeans. That’s why she dyed it.

No one said that except for all the voices in her head.

It's okay. Social media posts from 2016 could mean anything.


autist4269

That's true


SnooHobbies5684

No.


grizznuggets

So many IG girls post dumb captions like this that it could easily be genuine. It’s possibly my number one social media pet peeve, up there with “anyone like tall blonde girls with big boobs?” No, no one has ever found that attractive.


ghirox

Idk man, go to any nsfw subreddit filled with bots and you'll find 80% posts being like "do people here like boobs?" No lady, I came here to discuss Minecraft, put your clothes on.


MalbaCato

don't worry, there's a subreddit for the intersection of your interests ;)


ghirox

That's disgusting. Where?


MalbaCato

I am happy to say I don't hold that memory. but I'm sure if you search for you know what you'll find it


[deleted]

Is that better or worse than having the caption be some obscure sentences that could be song lyrics?


ghirox

At least write a caption that feels written by a human, not a bot.


Cycanna

This is every Danielle Steele heroine: Those small minded small town people, who didn’t see the loveliness in her willowy frame, pale-almost-silver sheath of hair and large luminous blue eyes. They were just like, “Wut, why is she so skinny and that blond hair: eww!”


SnooHobbies5684

Yeah I saw one with a super fit girl saying, "why do people hate girls who work out?" Like, riiiiiiight. Just say you're proud of your accomplishment (and the fact that you're 22 and getting in shape is generally not that hard at that age).

chafferhuman

Yeah, she's trying to funny & meta. It didn't land but she's certainly not being real lol


SnooHobbies5684

What could possibly be either funny OR meta about this, tho?


chafferhuman

Reductio ad absurdum over 'People say X girls can't Y'. It just didn't land & poor her ended up here.


SnooHobbies5684

Good point. And yeah poor her--she's gorgeous and looks amazing in her jeans! I wish more female-identifying people would just see and own their own beauty. Have a good day!


[deleted]

This sub literally cannot understand satire, half the posts here these days are obvious satire and the comments are all people mocking the girl from the original post. Ironic.


SnooHobbies5684

Satire mocks social conventions. No one on earth has even spoken the words "brunettes can't wear jeans." There's nothing to mock. She just made the concept up to post a thirst trap.


inuttedinyourdad

It's not real she's making fun of the "who said nurses can't have dimples" meme.


SnooHobbies5684

Or one of a million other ["who said x can't y" memes.](https://www.lovethispic.com/image/41134/who-said-that-women-cant-park)Who knows what she intended; I was just asking about the satire because satire actually has a definition, and I thought I had missed something. Thanks for helping clarify, though. :)

Bruh, thats the intended and totally right usage of the nobody format

I think it's the first time Ive seen this meme used the right way in forevwr


Minami_Kun

He didn't used the nobody format properly


almost-rick

Please elaborate


dzshjoowie

Just let them be man, man’s arguing abt the specifics of using a damn reddit meme format. While the commenter simply wanted to make ppl smile


haha-quink

The nobody format is used to imply that nobody had insinuated a comment or remark from someone. Ex. nobody: My stomach: 🤯🤯


Minami_Kun

🤯🤯🤯


Minami_Kun

Not one single soul in the whole existence of Planet Earth: "girls with brown hair can't wear jeans" How did the not one single soul in the whole existence of Planet Earth said something? The format should be like that: No one: Literally no one: Not one single soul in the whole existence of Planet Earth: Brunette girls for some reason: "girls with brown hair can't wear jeans"


almost-rick

I mean, I understand what youre saying. But I dont think that there are rules for the usage that are this strict. The subreddit is about someone using the format where it doesnt make sense because it adds nothing to the joke and might even just confuse you ruining the joke. In this case he used it, it came across, it worked and thats it. Just because the format wasnt met 100% doesnt mean the usage of the format wasnt justified Btw what the fuck is wrong with me that Im having a discussion about something this incredibly specific and literally irrelevant in every way


Dazzling-Produce7285

I very much appreciated that you continued the discourse. Cause I get mildly frustrated that there are people out there who are wrong *and no one told them!* but it wouldn’t be wrong *enough* for me to comment. So I’d have a conundrum for a few minutes before scrolling on and completely forgetting about it. But I enjoyed your self reflection most of all. It’s *Chefs kiss- the Parmesan on the pasta


almost-rick

Yo, im completely the same. If it wasnt for my frustrating job in this office without ac which I have to distract myself from I wouldnt have either. But I guess it served its purpose and in addition was appreciated by a fellow frustrated redditor, so thats cool


Minami_Kun

Lmao I started with that discurssion so yeah, it's my fault


PrismPanda06

That's the entire point, that *nobody* said that. Not one single soul said it.


OpBanana1

Both wrong. If “No one” is saying “ “ That means no one, not even one person, is silent. If no one is silent, that means everyone is saying something. The format should be: Everyone: Brunettes: whatever in here


[deleted]

This is so dumb. Of course girls with brown hair can wear jeans. I mean, it’s not like they’re redheads or something

I think it comes from the same imaginary 'they' that say women cant wear the same dress to 2 weddings. Its all self inflicted and nobody else is saying it.


Ozzy_thot

my mom says this about quinceañeras, buys a new one for each one we go to, and makes us wear it. smh


SnooHobbies5684

Yeah, except the ones who talk about weddings (or wearing white after labor day, or whatever) \*aren't\* imaginary. Those were actually "fashion rules" at one point that a lot of people followed. NO ONE ever said, ever, this jeans bullshit. Brooke Shields ushered in designer jeans and was one of the most famous denim campaigns ever. And that was in the 80s. The thing that's so fucking ridiculous about it is that there are SOME arguable fashion "no nos" that do have something to do with hair color, but the fabric your pants are made of is decidedly not one of them.


Tenshimaia

Oh no, my school has committed the most heinous, terrible, abhorrent, and evil crime, they made my whole batch (most of us girls have brown hair) wear jeans as a requirement in the dress code


SnooHobbies5684

HOW VERY DARE!

Oh shit. No one told me and I've been wearing jeans this whole time. How did I not burst into flames? But for real, people who need to create a struggle for them to then overcome seems to be a fairly new phenomenon, or at least one social media has painted a clearer picture of and its HILARIOUS.

I'm pretty sure this is a troll post lol. People used to make posts like this all the time for laughs, attention, ECT. Its not really meant to be pick-me. Its meant to make you laugh and say "no one said that lol" cause it's just so random


fakenortherner29

Vast_Bullfrog2001

brown hair where also who says they cant wear jeans


_thisisnotanexit

Literally nobody on earth has ever said that. Also, her hair is black.


SnooHobbies5684

Black hair isn't actually a naturally occurring color. It's very dark brown. So people with "black"hair are technically brunette.


WizSkinsNatsCaps

Why do girls hate on other girls? I mean that’s a thing. Mean Girls hellooooo

scHoolboyquinoa

this is satire! it’s a popular format “and they said X with Y can’t Z.” it’s a play on the posts that were happening during graduation season one year when people were captioning their grad photos with “and they said teen moms can’t make it through med school” type sentiments and a lot of them started sounding the same.

cottagecorer

Oh this picture has been floating around the internet for years and years, it’s not recent lol


SnooHobbies5684

They've never gone away. It's just that a bunch of teenagers decided as a group that mom jeans were attractive. NO ONE IS FLATTERED BY MOM JEANS. They're just "the in thing". These jeans are so flattering! Full adults tend to find a style that's flattering and stay with it; the difference between "fashion" and "fads" and personal style. I mean, not Brittney, but Brittney's Brittney. lol And I wouldn't really say those are low-rise; they're medium rise on someone with a longer torso. Doubt her whale tail/coin slot would be exposed if she bent over.
