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!
This made my eyes water
You truely were random as dice. ;)
The sacred texts, they’re so bright I almost need to avert my eyes.

Is it bad that I can still read these shitposts in the correct tone?
Holy shit what a throwback to the past
Has there ever been a study from like an anthropologist/evolutionary biologist or something about why the
:)smiley won out over the=)smiley? I used to be a =) guy back in the day, but over time felt pressured to switch to :) because everyone else was using it. Now, whenever I see someone use =) I just assume they’re a boomer or something.I’ve never thought about that. Could it be because :) became the shortcut for emoji?
It came before emojis/a shortcut for them. I would think it’s from T9 keyboards. If you wanted any of those types of characters, it was a cycle of a single button and : comes before =, so doing : ) was a lot less button presses than = )
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.
The manbun will go down in history as one of the worst hairstyles of all time
Broccoli haircut is much much worse than anything
I think you’ve misspelt mullet
Oh please. It’s at least gonna have to get in line behind the alt-right undercut.
Gen X: Haha, those millenials sure looked stupid as kids!
Also Gen X:
Boomers: Haha, Gen X sure looked stupid as kids!

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.
But everyone was so much thinner back then. The average person was so much hotter.
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…
I think back then you could do “gay” things without being seen as gay so it was okay.
It was okay to dress like that if everyone knew you were out smashing loads of chicks.
But not people are going to think you’re gay so it’s really different.
Gonna be honest, I really like the aesthetic even to this day.
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!
The Millenials laughing at Gen Z are the same Millenials who mocked emo/scene kids back then.
This was like, 5% of millennials. Trust me, I was one of them. We got our asses kicked for dressing this way. Most everyone else either did “gangsta” style with low-hanging pants and Timberland boots/Jordans, or “preppy” style with a boring-ass polo shirt and khakis.
Psh, I saw this and immediately thought " I would have wanted to date that girl back in the day". Now I think… “If I met a girl who was my age rocking that style… I would want to talk to them for sure”

Yeah the emo look definitely worked for me… We didn’t have a lot of them in my country though, the alt style was more punk/dirty techno, or metalheads but the girls didn’t look like that. Shame…
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
That was peak aesthetics.
Was?
You too stray far from the light.
