Modernica recently blogged “Criss Cross Revived!”, comparing “Kris Kross” the 90′s hip hop group, with the latest reissued Criss Cross Bubble Lamps.

Both are iconic and unique.  Those kids were electric and their hit was one of catchiest songs at dance clubs at that time.  They also created a crazy fashion trend.  Kids wore their jeans backwards and were jumping to the song.  Maybe the two Chris’ or ” mack daddies” of Kris Kross will make their own comeback someday soon and we’ll  see kids wearing their jeans backwards and bringing jiggedy back.
