The textbook definition of clout is to have the ability to influence others with ease. When a person has clout their opinion carries weight, people care what they have to say – they have the sauce. Such can be said for any individual who possesses a pair of these beauties:

Designed by Christian Roth and popularized by Kurt Cobain in the 90s, these vintage Series 6558 shades have been plucked from obscurity and are back with a vengeance. For people who are familiar with the glasses, they were more than likely introduced to them by music artists like Kali Uchis, Migos, Lil Yatchy, Tyler, The Creator, etc. But according to Know Your Meme, the person who’s actually responsible for the resurgence of Roth’s eyewear is Denzel Curry.

In a YouTube video that he uploaded on June 1st, Curry, while wearing a pair of glasses similar to the Series 6558s, tells an anecdote that establishes them as “clout goggles”:

In the video, Curry lets the young woman that confused his clout goggles for mere mortal lenses and the rest of the world know what’s up. By coining a phrase that has resulted in a $500 pair of glasses being simply known as clout goggles, Curry further legitimizes that he indeed does have clout.
