Well part of it is that a lot of us are wearing the clothes we were not allowed to wear during our literal teenage years, but also: a lot of the things that we think of as age markers in fashion are more accurately signifiers of social status and stability. A lot of us are just dressing like people without much to lose.

I know for me it's just the sheer inexperience that does it.
I'm just starting to present as feminine, which means I'm just starting to choose a whole new wardrobe on my own with no idea what looks good together or not. It kinda feels like I'm a teenager again and just grabbing a bunch of clothes that I like individually but with no idea of any standard outfit rules/concepts or how they should go together.
I've been wearing women's clothing for a long time now and sometimes I like to deliberately dress as if it's my first time ever wearing a skirt. I call it hatchcore because it comes right after eggcore.
Hatchcore is an amazing word for it. I guess I'm describing Advanced Hatchcore then. Just a little bit past my first skirt.
At a previous job, I heard an executive assistant say that about me.
