The 'Extreme Cut Out Jeans' meme gained viral notoriety in 2018 following the release of the 'Extreme Cut Out Pant' by Los Angeles-based brand Carmar Denim. Priced at $168 despite consisting of little more than seams and pockets, the garment was widely mocked on social media as the ultimate example of 'paying more for less.' The meme template typically features the product shot of the jeans, often paired with captions about the absurdity of high fashion, financial irresponsibility, or the irony of clothing that provides zero coverage. It remains a staple for commenting on the ridiculous nature of modern streetwear and the perceived gullibility of trend-seekers.
