>His waist straight up looks feminine with how narrow it looks in those
Because he is thin. And your waist is supposed to be narrow. Your torso isn't meant to be built like a fridge, like the kind of look men try to create these days with low rise pants. That red line in pic is where his waist actually is, not at the belt sagging at his crotch. It's a bit clearer on the shirtless guy.

>and grandpa wore higher quality, natural materials than the normie does today.
Yeah, a lot of these zoomer pants are full on 100% polyester in a pretty thin fabric, like their sweatpants. So they are pretty floppy and never hold their shape.
>you actually see this a lot more than you would expect in mid century photos.
They didn't sag them as low as guys do today. It was mostly at the mid rise level.
