Lol how can anyone fault it, I thought the looks were good and historically accurate.

 

[kickz]

Why are these historical accounts always of the perspective of the reer baadiyo people.

Like showing Australian history through Aborgines

The old days are gold.

Today Somalis are unrecognisable.

 

[Timo Jareer and proud]

Just watched it a couple hours ago it was a really good video.

But, the 2019 Xalimo triggered me hard even know it's true. 6 kg of makeup in every Instagram post man I can't even escape them on YouTube.



Abdi's also made a huge downgrade in the 21st century. The 1980's Abdi looked the best. Now, we look like either hood rats or soy boys.

Nice video.

[Gibiin-Udug]

I want to dress up like 1910

 

[EDsomali]

They nailed the SYL look.

Great video.

 

[4head]

Damn the 20's and 30's looked good. I really Halimos like this!
The 2019 is an instagram model, nothing "somali". Thanks to Globalism!
Anyway, i'm inspiring to be at least the 70's Somali man. Classy.

 

[Mr.Haggis]

lol nice one

The 1950-80s were my favourites as well as the 1910-30s

Nice video.

Have you seen the Somaliland one, Done last year in partnership with Hargeisa Cultural Central (HCC)

Nah, some of us were Sultans, traders, and
navy men who visited far away lands in Persia and India

Instead all that is reduced to hillbilly 1 and hillbilly 2

Nice video.

What a lovely video. I was a tad bit afraid that this video would end up demonizing the rise of Islamic cultural norms, as so many of these "100 years of ____" videos that go over the fashion history in Islamic countries often do (just look up the one the YouTube channel 'Cut' did for Iran and you'll know what I'm talking about---they added sad music and everything after the 1979 Islamic revolution). This video, while I felt could've had a bit more diverse clothing options in the early 1900s (and also the fact that they left out the freaking afro, which was definitely the most well-known staple trend of '70s Somalia) was still definitely beautiful and awesome to watch. Props to the creators

Loooool those videos are funny if you look at the comments niggas act like the women were enslaved or something. 'My heart broke when they made her wear the hijab' gtfo man

Lol, really liked this video except they basically glossed over the civil war which definitely altered Somali culture and as a result Somali fashions. Also, kind of felt the 2010s weren't that really accurate but overrall it's not as bad of a video as it could've been.
