Roots is a Canadian chain store. How do I describe it? It's such a weird phenomenon that I mostly identify with Jewish girls in the suburbs. When I was growing up, they sold sweatpants and sweatshirts with beavers on them that were more expensive than regular sweatpants and sweatshirts. Said suburban Jewish girls wore them to school (I have a strong opinion about wearing sweatpants out of the house unless one is headed for some form of exercise).

In more recent years, they have branched out into more acceptable outerwear that I kind of like, although it is still very Canadian and outdoorsy looking. I liked Coupland's line enough that I actually tried on one of his dresses, but the fabric was quite shit for what they were charging.

Hardly anyone would consider these clothes cool and trendy.

Generationally, I identify with curmudgeonly geezers, people roughly my age who act like curmudgeonly geezers, and teenagers. Pretty much everyone else can go fuck themselves.
