Ally Rooker said she appreciates Gen Z students dressing much cozier, with baggy pants and simple tops. However, millennial viewers reflected fondly on their style, and some called Gen Z fashion "lazy." The clip has inspired other millennial viewers to reminisce on their mid-to-late 2000s fashion and argue over whether Gen Z fashion is innovative or uninspiring. AdvertisementWhile a few viewers thanked Gen Z for shattering nightlife attire conventions ("I'm soooo jealous of the gen z going out vibe," one user said), others denigrated the younger generation's style as "lazy" and "terrible." TikTok has been rife with clips comparing millennial and Gen Z fashion.

The homer by Rooker, his 29th of the season, was the sixth in his past nine games as Oakland broke an eight-game losing streak on Friday.

September 12 - Just because the schedule over the coming two weeks aligned perfectly for the Houston Astros doesn't mean there were guarantees for success. The Astros averaged 11 runs per game in their previous 10 wins, a surge that propelled them to the top of the American League West. If the Astros had designs on coasting against inferior opposition, those thoughts were quickly shelved. Verlander improved to 5-2 with a 3.43 ERA over seven starts with the Astros following his acquisition from the New York Mets.

☆ Former GOP congressman Will Hurd gets booed off stage for saying Trump 'is running to stay out of prison'

Former congressman Will Hurd was effectively booed off stage for criticizing Trump. The crowd made clear their displeasure with Hurd's claim that Trump 'is running to stay out of prison." "Donald Trump is not running for president to represent people that voted for him in 2016 and 2020," Hurd said. "Donald Trump is running to stay out of prison." Hurd is not expected to qualify for the first Republican presidential primary debate next month, which requires candidates to meet polling and donation thresholds.
