I recently came across a blogpost explaining something I was researching, and the comments beneath were exactly like this. Then I looked up from when it was: May 2006.
The internet is a time machine.
The internet is a time machine.
Man, it really is and it’s so cool to see. It brings back memories you forgot you had!
Is it bad that I can still read these shitposts in the correct tone?
holds up spork
Oh fuck! This caused my brain to reboot after a cascading failure of memories tripping fuses right the way back to 2001.
Did your brain then play the windows XP boot up sound?
You truely were random as dice. ;)
Holy shit what a throwback to the past
Honestly, I kind of understand why the older generation was afraid of using the internet, they saw this lingo while trying to fix a leaky pipe on a Yahoo Answers thread and said “not my worldwideweb!”
I didn’t talk this incredibly stupid and “unique” on chats during AOL and MSN days but by the time I got to highschool I realized I needed to stop with all the emojis and emphasis in text form because nobody knows how nor cares to decypher what you’re saying anyway.
I miss MySpace.
The sacred texts, they’re so bright I almost need to avert my eyes.

Gen X: Haha, those millenials sure looked stupid as kids!
Also Gen X:
Boomers: Haha, Gen X sure looked stupid as kids!
Also Boomers:
The boomer’s had everything better. That fashion works for me.
But everyone was so much thinner back then. The average person was so much hotter.
The only thing that’s really improved is people’s teeth.

Because they inherited an economy with actual food and replaced it with “food” filled with industrial inventions like corn syrup
And these are the ones scared of gender/LGBTQ politics… We know why now…
Give them a break, they had no other accepted way to explore their sexuality
/s but also not /s
It’s sad they got so much hate back the days. Their style was so awesome and different. I always admired that, but didn’t have the courage to go full emo and draw everybodys hate on me.
Millennial fashion was pretty bad imho. From the emo look all the way down to the lumberjack look. All quite contrived and corny, but that’s just my opinion.
In that case, please enlighten us on what acceptable fashion is. I’m dying to hear about what you think everyone should look like.
No such thing buddy, it’s called subjectivity. If you wipe the shit out of your eyes and the avo off your screen you might see the abbreviation ‘imho’ in my comment.

Emo/Skater outfit makes everyone over 9000% more attractive.
I’m a millennial, and I still dress all emo even in my 30’s. My 20 year old coworker even complimented my black skinny jeans with zippers in random places the other day. No reason to stop loving your late teen/early 20’s aesthetic! Don’t let the world crush your creativity, do you and to hell with everyone’s opinions!
Hell yeha, as long as you’re not harming anyone, just do whatever the hell you want without thinking twice.
Same. I stopped dying my hair black but otherwise my style has stayed very similar
Kids these days trying to take away our skinny jeans! Never I say!
We’ll see who is laughing when it snows and their ankles are frozen. Suppose they all have to learn somehow
Can we just get a happy medium between JNCO and skinny jeans, please? 😭
Alt Teenagers dress weird regardless of when they were born.
alt adults also do
The Millenials laughing at Gen Z are the same Millenials who mocked emo/scene kids back then.
I’ll paraphrase a twitter comment: man I did not give a single fuck about gen x as a millenial, these posts are so weird. Maybe we’re just more exposed to each other now because of social media
I’m convinced that news outlets and big tech intentionally push ageism / generational-warfare to substitute for class warfare, and divert criticism away from capitalists.
Like who decided to mark off these year ranges and put labels on them anyway, it’s completely arbitrary and meaningless.
Allow me to offer a different perspective from the previous reply: holy frickin shit, I honestly never noticed this before. Tbh I’m not sure about the intentionality behind it though.
I mean, who exactly is intentionally doing this? Intent is important here; if it’s not individually-assignable, and say emerges from a complex series of interactions between various other policies, or instances of individual decision-making - for example - then it seems hard to reasonably place “blame” like that.
This doesn’t preclude taking action against the companies which will be salient for them (e.g. puts financial viability in question, rather than BS fines that amount to parking tickets)… I mean corporations are people too, now, right? Just a thought on how to argue/clarify the premise.
Because otherwise… Yeah, wtf. A lot of dividing lines, a lot of material insecurity, and so on, and nobody has the time - let alone the resources AND perspective simultaneously - to challenge the real dynamic. One which arguably IS being perpetrated with individual intent at multiple scales, and with cancerous impacts (figuratively and literally) on the societies which enable and tolerate them.
I see an Invader Zim T-shirt!
I’m gonna sing the doom song now! Doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom…
The Tallest: You made it worse!
Invader Zim: Or beeetteeeerrr!
Sometimes I think that since I still really love goth chicks I haven’t changed that much since the 00s
But then I remember that over that time frame goth chicks went from edgy rebellious teenagers in a ton of makeup to moms in their 30s with a wicked sense of humor that wear a lot of black. They still deal weed and hate authorities though.
This is every generation with the generation before them.
Those complaining ones are boomer converts. I see more of them in retro game groups.
Yeah I don’t get it. Do they not see the irony?
Just let the next generation be the next generation.
Im an emo kid
Nonconforming as can be
You’d be nonconforming too if you looked just like me
Edit: revisiting these lyrics, this song is an important time capsule
Oh man, that brings back memories
Genz aesthetic I swear is just depression meets delirium, and honestly, I can’t blame them lol
That’s pretty much what emo/scene was back in the mid 2000s. The more things change, the more things stay the same.
Depression Meets Delirium is a fantastic psych rock band name
