For some reason, fanny packs have made some sort of comeback in the past couple of years. Why these terrible things have gained popularity among people who aren’t moms at Disney World is completely over my head, but they’re out there and people are wearing them.

Having established that I don’t enjoy seeing people wearing these waist wallets, I will admit that the many styles that fanny packs come in always provide some laughs. Click through for some, um, entertainment.

Alright, so…..first was the return of the fanny pack. So unfortunate.But now, it’s SHOULDER PADS???

I thought these pointed, puffy creatures were dead for good. Guess not, cause runways everywhere are showing them, i.e. Style.com’s slide show revealing Shoulder Pad Fashion from top designers such as Dior and Gucci. Come on guys, really?

Thanks to Styledash.com, we can all be aware that American Apparel stores are now selling fanny packs as part of its collection of ’80′s accessories and clothing items.

With the re-emergence of ’80′s gear popularity, such as leg warmers, spandex leggings, Converse shoes and off-the-shoulder t-shirts, it’s inevitable that fanny packs would pop up. I guess I’ve just been in denial.

For those of you who are interested in buying one (although I hope it would be for an ’80′s-themed party, and, since your dad threw out his old fanny pack before he could lend it to you for such an occasion, you are scrambling to find one) these nylon F Packs are selling for $14 and come in six different colors.

I think we should all come together as a generation and put a stop to the fanny pack madness at once, if only for the benefit of our children. To help the cause, check out some rocking fanny packs here, here and here.

I thought we were past this. Shame on you, American Apparel. Shame on you.
