North Korea 'Bans Skinny Jeans, Piercings' in 'War on Capitalistic Lifestyle'

North Korea and Generation Z seem to have one common opinion: skinny jeans have got to go.

The secretive Asian nation has reportedly instituted a ban on Western fashion trends including mullets, certain body piercings, and skinny jeans in a self-proclaimed "war on capitalism."

According to the South Korean outlet Yonhap News Agency, a North Korean outlet published an appeal to citizens to do away with capitalistic culture.

"History teaches us a crucial lesson that a country can become vulnerable and eventually collapse like a damp wall regardless of its economic and defense power if we do not hold on to our own lifestyle," Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the North's ruling Worker's Party, reportedly wrote on May 13.

Kim Jong-Un is just jealous he can't wear them.

A lab coat with humongous khakis and penny loafers? He'd probably look a lot better in skinny jeans. And does his hair always have that super high strand? lol
