The fast glasses are the it-piece of the summer and they raise a lot of questions: What is that anyway, what do ugly fathers and a Dresden rap crew have to do with it?
“Ugly Dad” is the name of the style that more and more young people are wearing. It is an ironic homage to the stylistic missteps of the late 90s and early 2000s: baggy jeans, flared trousers, bucket hats or platform sneakers are just a few of them. Wearing them is a deliberate break in style and therefore a fashionable hug for everyone who takes life easy and doesn’t take themselves too seriously. This summer, the collection of “cringeworthy” pieces (i.e. items of clothing that tend to be ashamed of others) has been enriched by a new trend: fast glasses.
Fast glasses are worn by people in their mid-forties on a racing bike or by 20-year-olds at a rave. There is no crystal-clear definition of what fast glasses are. The design is – yes, fast. Sporty, dynamic, like mirrored, bright colors or futuristic and a bit embarrassed, that’s how a middle-aged person would describe the glasses. The definition of Tiktoker Julius Kunz somehow fits better: “With fast glasses, you’re never over- or underdressed, you’re just fast,” as Glamor quotes the young man as saying. He’s right and 18,000 followers see it the same way.
Fast glasses from 01099
So the new cool is fast and cool is cringe, but cringe is now in any case if worn “confident”. However, the young online charmer from Tiktok is not responsible for the trend. This service to society works 01099 return. Zero, ten what? This is a rap crew consisting of Dani, Gustav, Paul and Zachi, who took the postal code of Dresden-Neustadt as their name in 2018. That’s where the boys come and celebrate. And because that’s the case, the four rascals from Dresden recorded a song called “Schnelle Brille”. The accompanying video now has more than 300,000 clicks on YouTube. “Fast glasses and we’re in mode, people dance and I give turbo,” they sing in their song, which screams with youthful melancholy soaked in vodka club mate. But listen for yourself:

The Ossis again, thinks the inclined Wessi now, but let’s be honest: the Eastern Bloc romanticism was (in the West) like the fast glasses long as styleless. And that has changed. Both have in common that showing off their self-confidence is firstly a lot of fun, secondly it looks really “cringe” and thirdly it’s a hearty middle finger for all those who just shake their heads staidly out of their own insecurity in their social conformity. Fast glasses are not suitable for the latter. It goes neither with a quilted jacket nor with a cashmere sweater casually slung over the shoulder.
Fast glasses around 20 to 30 euros
Ideally, young people steal their fast glasses from their parents’ mothballs. In most cases, they won’t miss their snazzy piece of jewelry from their youth anyway. Children of the above-mentioned philistines have it more difficult. You need to get quick glasses yourself. But that’s not a problem, because the glasses are available from retailers on the Internet for less than 20 euros.
