Everything old becomes new again.

Retro fashion.

Maybe they’re wearing them ironically.

And then the younger orcas won’t get why it’s ironic and will think it’s actually cool and wear them sincerely, and it will slowly become unfashionable again. Until another 30-40 years pass.

Maybe they're celebrating the damage humans are doing to themselves and are excited about a time where they're once again the biggest brained, smartest mammal on earth.

Maybe.

I saw a girl wearing parachute pants on Tuesday. Looks like orcas follow the same fashion cycle.
