Back to the Future day: It sucks we're not dressing like futuristic 2015 Hill Valley
Actual 2015 looks dreary in comparison

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Forget hoverboards, the real tragedy of the actual 21 October, 2015 as opposed to the one depicted in Back To The Future Pt. II, is the fact that people are wearing sensible chinos and beanies and not pearlescent breast plates and half-functional half-decorative shin pads.
Panderer to corporate culture that he is, Marty McFly was far too engrossed in Pepsi Perfect, Jaws 19 and robotic Texaco gas stations to notice that absolutely everyone was dressed delightfully bonkers and not getting sh*t for being a "hipster".
Here's your alternate universe 21 October, 2015 lookbook:
Marty McFly's mesh dusty red and grey trim jacket with reflective neon baseball cap
Henchman in metallic grey suit with 3D glasses for no apparent reason
Generally all of the antagonists looking like they've emerged from an apocalyptic Las Vegas
The girl in the diner's sea punk skater dress crop top combo
Griff's gang (where to begin): R - L: Gold and black ribbed jacket, mesh undershirt, spiked helmet, ammo belt. Industrial bolero and plastic trilby. Geometric top with bullet casing choker, blood drip eye make-up and icicle bangs. Some sort of cyborg cosplay
Special shout-out to the guy on the right with the oriental-print balloon pants
Doc's shirts. Where does one buy futuristic train with unicorns-print material?
Generally being upside down should have been huge for 2015
As should clashing about 18 different patterns at once
This extra rocking a shark grin jacket like it ain't no thang
And his outfit even having the same design on the back in case you missed it the first time
Now for contrast, the sadness of this actual 2015 ASOS model:
"Your kids Marty, it's your kids! They're dressing like utilitarian potato sacks!"
