Thong jeans exist now and wasn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse?

Puts all the denim trends of 2017 to shame.

Sisqo didn't ask for this when he made his hit song the "Thong Song."

Japanese designer Thibaut presented his collection at the Amazon Fashion Week in Tokyo this week. But, there was one denim look in particular that caught everyone's attention and we apologize in an advance for what you're about to see.

The model can be seen walking down the runway in what's being labeled as 'thong jeans.'

As if 2017 hasn't been bad enough.

The highly distressed pair isn't out yet, but if you want to make your own there's a pretty simple hack. Just take a pair of scissors and close your eyes as you hack away at them. The less fabric, the better. You'll have your own pair of 'thong jeans' in no time and be the envy of absolutely no one.

While the fashion world is trying to make sense of the denim trend, people have reacted accordingly to the "creative" direction.

Denim has gone through zippered back seams and double jeans, so it shouldn't be surprising to see 95 percent of this pair missing.

It goes to show ripped jeans just can't cut it anymore, or aren't being cut enough.
