That is not a bum bag though.
That is more like one of those holsters for putting your passport/money etc in when travelling.

Why has it taken you 20+ years to notice this and pretend to give a shit?
Is that at me? 20 years ago people weren’t wearing them like this I’m sure. I’m just wondering since when this became a thing is all.
Why do I give a shit? Because I’m a dedicated follower of fashion (Oh yes I am).

You can still get mono strap backpacks. I used to have one. This looks like a less useful appropriation tbh.

Bumbags are currently huge in street fashion and in the blingier, more Kardashian end of high fashion.
And often worn at the waist, full-on 90s style, especially as an accessory for jumpsuits.

I disagree. They were and it's nothing new. There has been a ohso-retro-revival in this fashon more recently and the bags themselves have gone super BLING but...nah...nothing new.

I’ll take your word for it, but I never noticed this massive trend for the things being worn like little knapsacks until now.
BTW I wasn’t “pretending” to give a shit either. It was a genuine post.

Merry Xmas!
I first noticed tourists wearing them in front, back when I first visited London back in the 80s. I even wore one myself, for a few days, until a mate said I looked like an American asking to be robbed...
fashion coming round again, who knew?! I dont have any memories of people wearing bumbags over their shoulder until now, maybe one time someone wore one like that for a bet and everyone laughed and clapped, but I didnt see it and it never went mainstream.
it'd be good if this claim could be backed up by some images from times past.
