Yeah, I'm not anywhere near as certain of the classism in #tightsarenotpants, I take much more issue with the more unambiguous #boganmovies. And either way there's nothing wrong with having a problem with tights as pants in principle, especially the sort of example you gave.
That said, I think this sort of situation can combine legitimate criticism with classism etc. You have to ask: why is this unfortunate fashion choice a popular source of ridicule? Why does making fun of it appeal to people so much that it's a popular meme? I mean, I don't know, maybe there are similar memes about clothing which is generally associated with well off people, I guess the hipster mocking kind of does that. But I think it's worth thinking about.
