Celebrities Are Trying To Bring Fanny Packs Back And Twitter Doesn't Know How To Feel

Fanny packs have earned a bad reputation, and there a lot of reasons why this is unfair.
For example, athletes find them exceedingly useful.

And UFC commentator, comedian, and martial artist Joe Rogan doesn't understand why fanny packs get such a bad rap.

As functional as they are, and even though fanny pack proponents like Rogan make some really great points about their use, it's still difficult to get people to embrace them.
It's hard to disassociate them from their reputation of embodying everything lame.
I mean, even The Rock couldn't make them look cool.
Despite their notorious uncoolness, it seems like celebrities are doing their hardest to make them popular again.

Others weren't so sure even the mighty Kendall could convince the world the hip-bags were awesome.
I wish her luck. I still have all of mine from the 1990's and would love to wear them again without being mocked! https://t.co/mbZNCfrzqm

Some of the fashion industry's top luxury brands seem to disagree, however.

On trend or not - fanny packs ARE quite sensible. So.
