Agree with you. Back in the 80s boxers were associated with grandpa's or nerds' underwear, especially white or light-colored boxers. Cool guys use to wear white briefs, colored briefs, or bikini briefs. They were the "hip and cool" underwear at the time. If you watch any 80s teen or college movies, you're gonna see that the jocks are always wearing briefs. Then in the '90s plaid boxers became trendy and gradually white briefs became the uncool underwear. Now it's all about boxer-briefs and trunks. I guess, that in one or two decades when this generation of young guys become dads, their kids would find boxer briefs uncool and some other style of underwear will replace them to become the new hip and cool one. And that's the circle of life, or fashion I must say.
