Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I think you'll have to provide some examples -- ideally as photos -- of streetwear fashion. Without any prior research, I only know the term to mean "comfy clothes" that would fall below the typical bar for "casual" dress code.
A quick web search shows examples ranging from perfectly reasonable outfits consisting of normally-proportioned shorts, jackets, pants, and shoes. To some outlandish outfits that are prominently displaying designer brands.
And perhaps that's the crux of the matter: what shows up on the fashion runway or "haute couture" magazines is never descriptive but prescriptive: a designer brand has a vested interest in getting the masses to believe that something is fashion so that they can move product.
Taken to the logical extreme, there is an idea that designer clothes are intentionally outlandish, precisely so that said clothes would never be worn by "normies" in day-to-day activities, and thus can always (and persistently) be projected as high-end.
Commercialized fashion is not a democratic experiment to see what most people want to wear. It is to move product every "fashion season". "Designer streetwear" is a poor approximation for what normal people wear when they just want to grab a sandwich from the bodega and then return to watch another episode from Season 2 of The Rehearsal. Maybe this should be called "real streetwear" to distinguish it from so-called designer goods.
Example
This is a runway shot… those pieces are loud and the outfit is meant to be provocative. The sweater would be easy to style with jeans for example which would create a more reasonable everyday outfit
Example of an everyday person
This looks like a pretty normal outfit… I would say streetwear is not a joke and is just a term for casual dressing
Like are you saying you would have to lose a bet to wear this outfit?
I guess it isn't an "I lost a bet outfit". But leopard print jacket + jorts is like combining two different kinds of trashy that clash synergistically. And this wasn't an outfit that was just thrown together to buy milk. Guy intentionally put together the outfit, took a picture, posted it on the internet, and listed the articles of clothing he is wearing so others could replicate the look.
It's not my style but it doesn't stand out to me. Also, to each their own. So I'd say the answer to your question is the last one you suggested - you're one of the olds now. Please, try to stay benevolent and empathetic to the younger or just different ones.
He listed the items because that's the rules of the sub.
I don't see anything wrong, or even odd about what he's wearing. It's just a jacket and some shorts. If I passed him in the street, I doubt I'd even register his clothes tbh.
What? Who cares?
That looks normal and stylish
That looks sick. Def not my thing but it's definitely eye-catching.
