My time! And gel in my hair! Finished highschool in 94 and this is pretty accurate


towerfella

I don’t miss the greasy, shiny foreheads.


PsychologicalRace739

It gets to 104 out here and I was wearing 3 flowers hair grease , my head was burning 🥵


AKA_Squanchy

Class of 94 unite!


Sasquatch-fu

Yep def has that mid 90s vibe lol

ULTRAVIOLENT_RAZE

I can smell this comment


AKA_Squanchy

Immediately.


AKA_Squanchy

DAX man myself.


saw-it

Look at these kids with their cameras. Why can’t they just live in the moment?


The_Oaxacan_Dead

Those are the Yearbook students filming for memories. And here you go.

Same reason they don’t today. Vanity.

Ghostiestboi

I saw that exact image on a t shirt at a Spencer's lmao


IndividualDish7004

SAME


epirot

they look like 20 somethings


nipplequeefs

I could say the same about teenagers today. Every generation has teens mimicking adult fashion. That’s going to make them look older. Not much has really changed, tbh. Other than clothes and technology, you could easily still see a video like this with teens today lol


SirRabbott

Really?? I mean, yes, to the insta hoes who use makeup like they're in vogue. But otherwise, it seems like every time I drive by high schoolers now, I swear they get younger and smaller


ChewsOnRocks

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The generations before me always looked older at the same age in photos, and kids today look even younger than we looked at the same age. Seems like newer generations age slower and you can literally see it when you compare high schoolers over time.


Life-LOL

Insta hos might have something to do with it 🤔


SirRabbott

People are so soft here. I was replying to a person who's name is nipple queefs but people get their knickers in a twist of the word hoe


malhans

Just to play devils advocate I think the issue isn’t even entirely with the specific word as much as it’s you calling teenagers insta hoes. Calling teenagers of today instahoes is probably the issue. Edit: sorry just to be clear, I get what you mean on both ends. I think people tend to not react well to calling teenagers those names lol


tewnsbytheled

That's just you getting old


SirRabbott

I prefer the term aged 🍷 But yes lol


Dorkmaster79

Not to pile on, but I’m pretty sure that person is right. I’m a professor and I swear even my college students look like children.


hahaha_rarara

I think just the opposite. Steroids and hormones in the our food/cattle is making them all mature faster than before.


SirRabbott

You're saying that as if 90% of them aren't dairy free/gluten free/vegan


Lordthom

Vsauce made a video about this!


towerfella

We watched a lot of saved by the bell..


illstate

I used to spend summers at my grandparents. Almost all old people in the neighborhood. Spent so much time watching saved by the bell.


AdShot409

Aside from that one dude that did the crank face, I'd heavily disagree. These all look like late teens or young adults. No one looks even 20, and with that one exception no one looks over 18.


Stinker_Cat

High fructose corn syrup and crappy diets make current students look dysgenic. They were fed differently back then.


BearsOwlsFrogs

No we weren’t. We lived off pop tarts and processed cheese


cluelessdetectiv3

Idk why your being down voted I didn't see one overweight kid


epirot

its probably the contrary. the diet today is much better, less toxic. kids eat better, sleep better and have better access to healthcare. and using dysgenic as a word is absolutely outdated.


Old-Alfalfa-6915

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not.


epirot

what is your issue


Unmentionables123

newborns born today have microplastics in them and youre going to say our diet is less toxic?


Old-Alfalfa-6915

You’re my issue. You’re completely wrong and don’t seem to know it.


epirot

rentfree


Old-Alfalfa-6915

Thanks for clearing that up. I wasn’t sure if you’re a troll or a moron. Now I know it’s both.


XL365

Back then none of us would have ever believed how completely different the world would be in the next 20 years. I remember thinking I was hot shit because I got one of the Sony discman with cassette adapter for my 81 Blazer and we spent hours driving back and forth across the railroad tracks proving to dozens of friends that it wouldn’t skip and it actually worked. I only worked at food lion part time in high school and it seemed like I had so much money back then 😭😭😭


Papadapalopolous

Well, if it helps, it’s actually been 30 years


willalt319

Looks like some thriving 90's kids. I miss my childhood.

Mistersinister1

When your feed was what other people wrote on the bathroom wall about that whore Amanda and a DM was passing a note in class. You lil fuckers don't realize that you didn't need social media for news to pass through school fast as fuck. Memorizing phone numbers and having to pass information to Bill through friends that you'll be at the park later. Everything worked out without the need of tiktok or text messages. We had the Internet we just didn't care, people could find you based on your behavior. If I couldn't find a friend, I'd just visit the places I knew they'd probably be and eventually find them. Finding weed could take hours sometimes and that's what we'd do for an afternoon and it'd always be shit but we'd get it. Then we would have to find that one guy in our group that could roll a blunt and he'd always be happy as long as he was in the cipher. Then, we'd hit up the Getty for a slushie and play basketball. You think being connected all the time is convenient and almost required but having to use your wits to get in touch with friends and everyone meeting up by chance or through habit, you'd go out of your to find the people that weren't there and you'd make sure you'd find them. Living through a time with and without Internet and social media for 20 years on both sides, I prefer the years without it. Sure I can reach millions with this stupid phone and I'll probably never meet 99.9999999% of you, I'd always choose hanging out in arcades and smoking shit weed with friends.


Kamimitsu

>Finding weed Aw man... y'all didn't have a dude named Red that hung out in the empty lot about two blocks from the ABC (liquor store)? I thought EVERY city had one.


herrdietr

Nope we had Petey the crackhead, flipping weed for rocks.

Back to your safe space zoomer.


Mistersinister1

Easy, they might report you to the mods as being suicidal and you'll get that special message that someone is worried about you and provide you a safe space of your own.


ThanksObjective915

You're right... I'm trembling in fear!


Mistersinister1

In what year do think boomers were born? I'll give you a hint, we didn't peak with bottle flipping and eating tide pods.


Gym-RatBoy

70’s


OrdrSxtySx

Baby boomers, often shortened to boomers, are the generation of people born between 1946 and 1964.

I am so grateful I got to live through high school without cell phones and social media

Legoboy514

The last point in history where kids were (relatively) well socialized with one another. Now, they can speak to the whole world.. but struggle to order food at a restaurant. (For context, I am Gen Z and i lack any real social skills)


OrdrSxtySx

I was talking with a friend about this a few days ago. My oldest son just graduated high school. My friend and I were discussing how when we were younger, people moved, etc. and you fell apart as you grew older. For my son, most of his social circle is online. He has a close circle of 5-6 friends from school, but a large network he interacts with daily online. The moving away, and losing contact won't exist for him, because they'll be as distant as they have always been. I'm really curious to see how his generation and those after develop socially with that dynamic. It is vastly different than when I graduated in 98.


AustinJG

Millennial here. I feel awkward ordering food sometimes, too. We're all human my guy.


differentworld80

Watching this and wondering, did anything actually improve with the invent of internet and cellphones? These were, unarguably much simpler times.

Silver___Chariot

Yeah mate I’ll just mozy down here and enjoy the comments. Shit.


towerfella

I was that kid who wore the boonie hat, purple unbranded tee-shirt, baggy camo cargo pants, and some sort of hiking-style/mil style boot. I tried too hard to get attention and then pretended like I wasn’t trying to get attention, told too many jokes - most at the wrong time, talked a lot of smack and was really nice to the teachers so they let me get away with stuff. I also installed unreal tournament and the og GTA on the school server so it was accessible in any classroom. And Netscape existed.

A time when we were all dorks! Happy dorks, living in bliss. What a time.


jerander85

Watch the movies that came out of that time period to see what it was actually like. # Kids, Ken Park, American History X, and Bully


BrisketWrench

and if you didn’t go to school because you lived in “that part” of the country… then Gummo.

Kids is fair but Am His X is highly stylized. Not sure about the others.

Racism, gangs and school shooting.


Skitzophranikcow

You forgot, "But I'm a cheerleader." "SLC punk." "Fight club." "Empire records."


Opposite_Ad542

A homemade movie in real life could never capture real life. See films made in Hollywood by adults with scripts that took months and multiple takes and camera setups

I watched Ken Park at a festival when I was a naive 16 years old. I was in shock, lol! I still think about it sometimes...

They're happy because those kids could expect to get a job that wouldn't bankrupt them. EDIT: I want to say it seems unlikely that this has anything to do with social media.

Graduated high school in 92. Was a great time to go through school in a lot of ways and not so great in others. I look back on these days with a lot of fond memories.

What does social media have to do with it? Kids are still mugging for the camera and doing weird dances in the hallways for attention. Only difference is the tech they are using to record themselves.

Those were the good ol days


eyehate

The good ole days. Simpler times Got my bike stolen. Expensive skateboard stolen. Threatened by gang members across the street. Nearly got my ass beat for being in the wrong clique. Stole water from neighbor's hose so I could flush the toilets because mom forgot to quit wasting money and pay the bills. Such a great time to be alive.


MilesFassst

In the 90s we didn’t have competition from all over the interweb so you hardly ever saw anything cool. So when you did it was really a big deal!


Lidriane

That looks exactly like my high school but mine obviously didn't had 90' aesthetic. I truly don't understand y'all and I finished high school 3 years ago, not long ago and we all had cellphones and social media. Y'all are just fueled with nostalgia.


Friggin_Heinous

Wait, people had personalities back then?


Unusual-Afternoon837

I will never stop being thankful of growing up without social media or cameras in every pocket.

colhaxxy

I went to high school from 94-98. This brought back some memories.


Extreme_Mulberry_997

So good, before woke retards.


willregan

That's not what it was like, lol. I lived in the 90s, in an affluent school. Nobody ever brought a big ass camcorder to school, or cameras, etc. If anything, people bought disposable cameras, but that was it. Those huge cameras are likely for school projects, etc. Something the school pays for, like yearbooks, but maybe an end of the year movie, or something, to give a film class a thing to edit, etc. Not something people just carried around as a way to be social... that's insane.


BouncyKnights

The camera lens sent me into orbit xD


9sac1king6

I’m glad I lived those years when we actually had to approach females. Talk on the phone at home with land lines. Meeting up at the mall buying cd’s and dvds on Tuesday’s. Is 80’s and 90 folks are just a different breed compared to these new pansies

What has it to do with social media?


ineptorganicmatter

Because old people are salty about progress


NetflixFanatic22

Social media is not “progress”. It’s different, but it’s not progress lol.


ineptorganicmatter

Progress in technology and communication but detrimental in other fields. But nothing is perfect. And this is coming from someone who is very limited in social media presence.


SeriesUsual

We're honestly not salty. Or at least I'm not. I feel bad that kids are being exposed to social media. We allow mega-corporations to manipulate and harm children because it's profitable. I hope it turns into a passing fad that younger generations look down on.


NetflixFanatic22

Fair enough


NewlyOld31

Wait are you saying social media is progress as in a good thing that has made things better? Lol


ineptorganicmatter

Progress in technology and communication but detrimental in other fields. But nothing is perfect. And this is coming from someone who is very limited in social media presence.


ThanksObjective915

Because ageist dumb brats think they have the world by the balls because they're young.


ineptorganicmatter

This kind of reasoning is why younger generations are so depressed. Because they think they can’t change anything because they’re “dumb brats”. Kids are the future.


ThanksObjective915

Then they better figure out how the world really works while getting over their entitlement and ageist superiority complex.


ineptorganicmatter

That’s how it’s been throughout history. The younger generation is called dumb and doesn’t understand anything about the real world. Then as they get older they have the knowledge and the drive to make a difference. You should teach the younger generation what you learned and give advice, but also trust that they know how to make a positive change in the world for the future.


Feisty_Bee9175

Today's schools wouldn't allow most of the clothing worn in this video...lol
