Millennials scream as trend ‘everyone born in the 90s' remembers makes a comeback & ‘gives them PTSD'
YOU couldn't wear a skirt in the 90s without one of these dangling from your hips.
And millennials all hoped it would be the last we'd see of the disk belts, but Gen-Z seems to have other plans.

The giant belts which would often ping off at the most awkward of times have made a comeback in high street stores.
The likes of New Look, Primark, PLT and Boohoo are all stocking it.
And one mum was horrified when her teen daughter picked up to buy.
Taking to TikTok, Nina, wife of the famous SpudBros founder, shared her daughter's reaction to the 90s accessory.
She told her mum she wanted to buy it for her summer holiday as Nina looked on mortified.
"You do realise that when I was about 14 that is what we used to wear," she said.
"We thought we were really cool and then we bullied them ever since.
"Now they've made this comeback and you're saying it's nice?!"
"They were not lying when they said fashions come back around. I need to find a photo of me in one of these," Nina captioned the post.
While Nina and her daughter's opinion on the belt differed, many agreed with Nina in the comments.

Many were horrified to see it make its way back into stores.
One person wrote: "I had one in every colour. I used to wear them with long rara skirts in the early 2000s."
Another commented: "My mum used to say fashion repeats itself and it's true."
Fashion editor reveals the 90s trends that should stay in the past
NINETIES and noughties trends especially have become a hit with Gen Z - most likely because they didn't wear them the first time round. Here, Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale gives the rundown of some of the trends that have made a comeback that we wish did not.
Disc belts
"A hit with celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Blake Lively, the belt itself did nothing that a belt should actually do - it was a mere fashion statement, not a piece to actually hold anything up.
"And it seems it's not just me who is enraged by its return, with many taking to TikTok to give their views, saying: 'Oh no not the disc belt! I don't think I have the energy for it a 2nd time around' - I feel you."
Jelly shoes
"After not being seen on shelves for decades, they've made a reappearance and this time they're not just for kids.
"Coming in a range of colourful patterns, you can get them all over the high street in either flat or heeled versions.
"Not only will you look very childish wearing such shoes, but people will also need to learn that they aren't the comfiest - blister plasters will come in handy."
Pedal pushers
"The cropped knee-grazing trouser were all the rage in the 1990s and 2000s, but this time the model fash pack are all over them - with both Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski wearing them out recently.
"The original IT girls, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot helped make the trousers - also called Capri pants - look effortlessly cool and glam.
"Somehow this time round they don't seem to be having that same effect."
"The trauma from the disk belt," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "The late 90s and 00s has entered the chat!!"
