What were some of the dumbass fads people did when you were in HS?

[HabitualChiller]

But you're wearing an Aeropostale shirt now so we don't even need to talk shyt

You think I wear that outside the house?

I went this whole thread and everything is relatable

I only graduated HS a couple years ago but I remember seeing all this growing up

I'm surprised nobody in this thread mentioned fila's with the strap out

I never wore these but i remember these was hot for a while and all of a sudden nobody rocked filas anymore. nikkad use to clown you for still rocking these.

I remember when dudes use to wear Nike headbands and armbands to school

Thought we was fresh as fukk

Two tone du rags.
Headband, wristband, oversize fitted, girbauds...
I thought we looked pretty cool, tbh.

So many trends from 2003-07

Way oversized shirts that went down to your knees

Wearing oversized hats that were at an angle so they'd nearly fall off your head

The rap ringtones era

Every song having a dance to go with it when none of them needed one

Everyone wanting to be in a gang someone started a thread on MySpace called "who crip in school?"

The typing with numbers in place of letters

Dudes growing their hair long but buzzing it about an inch back all around

Went to a mostly white HS, 2004-2008.

99% of the student body wore:

1) Chuck Taylors
2) Vans slip-ons
3) Fat-tongue skate shoes ()

Lots of other shyt too. Studded belts. Velour sweat-suits. Trucker hats. Crocs. Uggs. Ballet flats on girls. Aviator sunglasses. Skinny jeans.

Also, I feel like that was the era that HS girls first started wearing thongs. You never saw that shyt in 90s movies.

Can't believe I forgot Livestrong bracelets. Holy fukk those things were everywhere.

And although it's not technically fashion, iPods. This was around the time that the iPod mini became huge and everybody had one.

Spoiler

I did that shyt too

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Spoiler

I did that shyt too

The funniest thing is I saw it in every demographic. White guys with long hair? Check. Butch dykes? Check. Black guys with braids? Check. Black and white and Samoan guys respectively who had dreadlocks? Check. Who thinks of these trends ?

 

[Crayola Coyote]

I know my early 2000's brehs remember this

Everyone in Florida still wear these

 

[50CentStan]

This thread makes me miss those super hot summer days right before school about to start up. Those were the GOAT days. Enjoying being out of school but missing the homies. The excitement to see everyone 1st day of class and also not wanting to go because school work. Man those were the days. When I see kids now in that age range I tell them enjoy it while you can because no experience will ever match that. Not college not real life. Nothing.

Oh and velour suits.

Back in 95-96 we used to rock ski goggles

That same summer we rocked Nautica and Tommy Hill swimming trunks. Some nikkas even copped the matching swim shoes

I don't think people did this in other cities but we used to rock sweat pants underneath jean shorts

y'all nikkas wasn't burning up?!
