mid 90s to mid 2000s style was the peak I won’t hear otherwise
JNCO parachute pants, a Korn shirt, wallet chains, and ball-chain necklaces were the uniform of that time period. Gen-Z mushroom tops also have nothing on the all around close shave with long front bangs.
I unironically feel that that era had one of the most iconic youth styles in modern history
@TimeSquirrel @siipale @BudgieMania parachute pants need a comeback. They were the most roomy and comfortable jeans ever
The only correct dimensions for pants are the dimensions that allow you to steal a second pair of pants underneath them

The Zim shirt is baller
Could assemble this whole look at a Hot Topic. Throw in a Jack Skellington chain wallet for good measure.
Stop lying, you know you like it!
I was so attracted to those type of girls when I was in high school.
Unfortunately, they were never into me :(
I still am, but nobody dresses emo anymore. :(
I was so attracted to those type of girls when I was in high school.
In my early 30s. From what I’ve seen, they’ve kind of changed it a bit and ditched the clothes, but I’ve seen them getting into tattoos a lot more.
As a non-tatted guy, who looks totally different from them, they’re still not into me and I’m still into it hahaha

Scene*
The term “scene” came towards the tail end of that episode of pop culture.
Same thing.
Seek women of your own age instead of high school girls ;)
This shit is still cool! I’m not even going to act ashamed! Hell fucking yeah I dressed like that, and It was motherfucking “epic!”
Wear whatever you think is cool zoomers, and stop for NO ONE! The moment you start letting others dictate your coolness is when you stop being young.
Rawr XD
Rawwwrr XD*
I was lazy even in my teenage years lmao
Wait, go back

Elder millennial here. Personally I view this as the kind of good natured ribbing that comes from a healthy relationship between an older and younger sibling. I think our generation (and Gen X too) have an overall positive view of Gen Z, but you are out of your mind if you think we’re going to pass up an opportunity to give them some shit when it’s warranted!
Rainmanslim’s comment doesn’t strike me as mean-spirited at all. If anything it’s the opposite of condescending because it acknowledges that the cringiness of being a teenager knows no generational bounds. Embrace it and enjoy it, and then enjoy it again when you’re old enough to laugh at your younger self!

Mate, that is a whole lot of projection and assumptions in one post. You do you, but I hope someday you learn that being able laugh at yourself is a strength not a weakness.

Man, if you are in your 40s and still clinging to this idea that you’ve never done anything embarrassing in your life, have never teased a buddy for something stupid they have done, and feel the need to get all self-righteous on me for enjoying friendly banter between strangers then I don’t know what else there is to say here.

There is a reason “learn to laugh at yourself” is a recurring quote from many people.
This is all this is, to learn to laugh at your younger self. No one is saying your feelings or thoughts as a teenager are invalid but perspectives and priorities change when you get older and the things that make you feel and act that way will seem trivial and therefore silly.
There is a reason this is a recurring theme between generations. Sorry but your generation is no different. It is not bullying, it is learning to look back at your younger self and see that the difficulties you were facing were relatively trivial even if they didn’t feel that way at the time.
Also please remember your sentiment the next time you see one of these memes “attacking” millennials. Basically the way you’ve formed your argument here is that this meme in this OP is “bullying” millennials.

We were copying bands to be edgy. Now explain broccoli.
What did I do?!
There they are! Get them!
You made all young men shape their hair in your image.
They are trying. Cut 'em some slack, the age of a common generational culture is dead and they’re doing their own thing as best they can.
Our parents had woodstock/hippies/disco, we had nu-metal and gangsta rap, and they have…whatever they feel like having at the moment.
They’re digging into a fair share you cited too.
Side note: how in the ever loving fuck did the creators of Invader Zim convince the Nickelodeon execs that it was a “kids show” - and not just once, but for two seasons?
Are you talking about the same Nickelodeon that showed Ren and Stimpy and Rocko’s Modern Life?
It’s pretty crazy. Jhonen Vasquez’s most notable work previously was literally a comic about a guy who kidnapped people to murder in his basement, so it’s not like they didn’t know what they were in for.
Invader Zim has an episode where he is concerned that a school health inspection will out him as an alien so he begins systematically hunting down the other children and harvesting their organs to stuff inside his own body until he’s a bloated monstrosity.
Nickelodeon Execs: “This is fine.”
The funny thing is that it might have been on the air even longer if the show wasn’t costing so much money. They were recording voice lines for some characters while the actor was suspended from a sort of crane-mechanism. Weird stuff all around.

Nah nickelodeon had weird shows at the time, Zim was tamer than a few shows, what boggles my mind is that someone in nickelodeon even agreed to TALK to Vasquez given his portfolio, like, some exec in nickelodeon read a bit of JtHM and went “yeah, this guy got something the kids would like”
It was the other way around it seems. Nickelodeon wanted that shit
I’ve been playing the ratchet and clank pc port and one of the voice actors definitely vocied Zim. It’s so distinguishable.
Richard Horvitz is the man! He also did angry beavers, psychonauts, and alpha 5 on the power rangers
He’s also Moxie in Helluva Boss!
I’m currently playing Jedi Survivor, and there’s a character that was voiced by the same guy.
Invader Zim was the shit
The movie they made recently was damn good as well
That is an aesthetic I can get down with, though.
Give it 5-10 years and this will be fashionable again.
I mean… This looks exactly like the 90s.
If you’d told me I’d miss 2006 back in 2006 I’d have laughed.
Let the kids have their cringe phase
I’m so sad I never had a cringe phase :(
I was that age in 2006 and that style was strange to me back then as well
Same, was in high school '04-'08 and maybe 1% of the kids dressed like that. Most of us just wore jeans and t-shirts, and had short haircuts.
As an elder Millennial, I’m left wondering WTF I missed in 2006?!? All the girls in high school were wearing Doc Martins, turtle necks, and low-cut jeans while sporting streaky highlights in their hair, and all of the girls in college were wearing Uggs and puffy coats with faux-fur hoods. There was none of… Whatever this is.
This is the “scene kid” aesthetic that was popular in the mid aughts. They barely made the millennial cutoff as far as I’m concerned and they’re not very representative of our generation as a whole.
Hot topic goths evolved into emo lite
Yeah this wasn’t 2006 really and was more like 2009-2010 when the “scene” scene got “big”.
I have no idea why the millennial vs gen z debate is trending right now but I just love it
It’s just more divisive bullshit purposely turned into bad memes to catch people’s attention. As usual, it puts people in groups and then encourages disagreement between them. It keeps people from looking up. It’s so stupid.
Besides, Boxxxy is just an e-girl. Where are the differences

Millennials are old enough to be crotchety old farts now.
Source: am millennial; am crotchety old fart.
I don’t care what anyone says I still think this style is cool and I’m 27 years old. Maybe it’s an Enby/Agender thing though, I don’t know.
I use Plex and also think it’s cool
