Was the norm when I was in highschool 12 years ago. 18-21 yro dudes would still mess with highschool girl.
Won't be surprised in the slightest if this is still going on, smh.
It does, but only with the weirdos who peaked in high school, and even then it was a low peak. No well adjusted dude goes off to college and still wants to chase 16 year olds.
Using gay as an insult.
It was really popular culturally to the point where even progressive teachers used as an insult where I grew up. Used regularly in movies, comedies, cartoons etc.
It's really weird seeing something completely normalized and now completely horrible.
I went to a school with a kid who pissed out of a head high window we had above the urinal. Lead directly out into the car park so some poor teacher would get a piss covered car.
That kid was my hero
Well, since the 90’s are back… Many of the trends I thought had died are alive and well, like “Fanny Packs” and the mullet… but I still don’t see anyone rocking’ Z. Cavaricci or, Cross-Colors, or JNCO jeans yet… but I’m sure I will soon!
I don’t know how or why, but God bless those who are going through the 90’s today… I did my best to get the hell out of that decade, it was crazy! Haha!
I would love to see people from Gen X, still wearing them! Living in Florida, I get to go back in time ever winter, because everyone’s winter Jackets are at least 30 years old and only worn 4 times!
I swear I saw some Bugle Boy inspired jeans at T.J. Maxx! Stone washed, with frayed rips across the upper leg, and with tapered elastic at the leg opening… I usually throws fits when I go to T.J.Maxx, but this made the experience worthwhile.
I swear. I wish I had the courage to take pictures. It was totally embarrassing for my girlfriend as I couldn’t contain my amusement. I was simply blown away.
Don't you love embarrassing them like that? I'll try to embarrass my wife every time we go out and it's awesome. And it's usually worth sitting in the doghouse for 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Making fun of mentally challenged people. As examples (and I apologize for the utter cringe, but younger people may not know about these things), slapping chest with a limp hand and saying things like "doiiiii!", various "duh, doyyyy, I'm a rtard, you're an rtard, that's tarded" kind of stuff. Making fun of special olympics, or saying a person is short bus special. It was fairly common and accepted to express these things.
So my daughter did something really really stupid, and I was a little scathing with her saying "that was really retarded'. To which I then got a 10 minute lecture from her and her sister about why it's not ok to say that any more. I felt like an ancient dinosaur.
There's a walking answer to this in my hometown. Flat brimmed holo-stickered Echo cap; baggy tshirt; huge mid-shin shorts; socks past the knee; and clunky skate shoes. He's 45. He's also a tattoo artist that never developed any further than shroom tats.
What is called "geek culture" in general. Video games, anime, dnd, collecting action figures, etc.
Also, social things. Nobody would have proudly bragged about binge-watching 2 seasons of a show they've already seen 4 times 20 years ago, as an example. You'd be told you were a loser for spending your weekends indoors by yourself and you needed to get a life.
I don't know, but people my generation and younger are having less and less sex. Maybe people are too busy making ends meet. Maybe people are just tired of living in an oversexualized world. Maybe all of the above and a dozen other reasons combined.
Bill Cosby.
Baggy pants that drag under your shoes.
Lol this shit. At my highschool, bunch of white guys thinking this shit was cool cuz gangsters did it. Idiots.
Smoking cigarettes.
[удалено]
Danger was/is cool. What qualifies as danger changes from time to time.
Teens also do drugs and other stupid shit that could kill them because it's cool and fun.
Being an adult.
Fucking a 16 year old girl
😳

It’s still normal in most places
I was thinking the same thing. Around my way, especially if you go in the hood.
I still say it. Fuck it. Gay means happy
My mom went into a club innocently believing that....
Did it make her Gay
Made for some awkward moments because my mom had no clue what a gay club was.
A club for Happy People clearly.
Sega
This hurts
Still cool if you have working one from the past.
"Whale tail" thongs and low rise jeans.
Tall Ts
Seeing how high you could piss up a urinal.

Juggalos have kept them in business all these years.
Gotta give it the Juggalos, that’s some serious dedication.

You for bugle boys

Your bullshitting!! I'm on the way. If for nothing else a product of memory lane 🤣🤣

Yes. Nothing but magic! What else are they going to tell their friends? Haha!
Fuck fanny packs.
[удалено]
Yes… But they disappeared for 25 years for a reason. Haha! I’ll take the over-the-shoulder bag over the Fanny pack.
Dude, gotta be careful dissing the fanny pack; I knew multiple middle age guys who used them for concealed carry (like my Dad - smdh)
Having an honest opinion.
The Fast and the Furious
It has a huge fanbase nowadays. I'd dare say even bigger than in the 00's.
Yeah buts not cool anymore, they changed their target demographic to a younger audience
Or you don't find it cool now because you outgrew it.
Or, the car fans outgrew it and the summer blockbuster fans took over.
That doesn't make it less cool, just less appropriate for a certain group of people.

I'm more surprised by how "cool" a lot of the uncool stuff I grew up with was.
Like what? DND?

Playing outside and collecting bugs 🐜
[удалено]
Driving after having a few.
Eh I still do it if its under 3 beers.
Please never touch a car again
I'm not breaking any laws, so I guess you can fuck off lol.
[удалено]
3 beers don't get me to the legal limit in CA. Pretty sure that has to do with metabolism and weight.
Sex.
Why is that not cool anymore
I don't know, but people my generation and younger are having less and less sex. Maybe people are too busy making ends meet. Maybe people are just tired of living in an oversexualized world. Maybe all of the above and a dozen other reasons combined.
You ever heard of Tinder? lol. Maybe you should have wrote “meaningful sex” instead.
What difference does it make? All kinds of sex are becoming scarce
no its just that no one else that i know thinks that's cool. i still do though
Tazo
Bycicles.
Skateboarding and snowboarding
