Also The Cool Dad in '23 Starter Pack. Right? Right guys? I’m still cool right? The Discman still works!
Anti-skip?
Buddy, you better believe it. I could do jumping jacks and Avril Lavigne’s Skater Boi will still be coming through these headphones loud and clear so long as I don’t knock the cable loose from the aux port.
Lol wut? In 96 you’d be listening to return of the mack. In skaterboi era you’d had a studded belt and a trucker hat
My clothing style stopped updating in 96. My music tastes stopped updating in the mid 2000’s alt rock era.
Ah, so you’re a Nickel back fan. Got it.
It is my deepest shame that Nickelback was one of about 6 cds I owned in middle school. I listened to it so much that I began to hate it. “Photograph” is now like an ice pick to my ear drums. So while I did eventually get to the righteous place of not being able to stand their music, I did so in the least acceptable way possible. I’m so sorry for my vile sins.
Everyone’s young at some point, I also bought some absolute rubbish with no musical merit back in the day
We still think you’re hot because you were hot in 1996.
I use a CD player at my desk at work. Am also a dad. I don’t think I’m cool. :'(
That hairstyle! I remember many boybands just like Backstreet Boys and many celebrities having that hairstyle. Wallet chains never really go out of style, I have a bigger and longer one than the one in that picture.
wallet chains
style
Heh.
At least it was really hard to lose your wallet
What ever happened to Airwalks?
Nothing happened to them. They are still around.
Nice! I might have to get a pair for old-time’s sake
Thanks, I was thinking the same thing
Can’t even look at the shoes in Europe, how dare I…
Did you click “Shop in Europe” or “Shop in USA”? Europe worked for me (shock)
Ain’t no shoes for sale in Europe
Can’t have shit in Europe
Ye gods, the Surge. I can still taste it.
Still sold in Norway, just called Urge there.
I have no idea who’s making it, but I still come across random pallets of the stuff in Walmart and the like about twice a year. Always either 12-pack cans or 6-count bottles. Never individual bottles.
Every time I’m tempted to buy some, just to see if this random store in Alabama is offloading product from 2006.
If ur in the U.S. some burger kings have it on tap.
It’s getting cold outside, don’t forget your Starter jacket!
I can hear the swooshing
Starter jacket? This is a finisher jacket!
I hated that kid! He wasn’t cool at all!
Yeah he was an asshole if I remember correctly
Replace that album with Less Than Jake’s “Anthem” and you’re basically me (not that I don’t love Rage, I just like ska more)
Fuuuuuu… That’s me at that time 😐
Brother
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
Cool kids in 2023:
I saw a kid with frosted tip. So I pointed him out to a friend and quietly snickered. Then we saw two more, and now I feel old.
The teenage mullet craze the last couple years has driven me crazy. Dont know if that’s just a thing around here in the Midwest or not, but it’s as ugly and stupid looking now as it was in the 80s. And all the jock teenagers are wearing crocs with tall black socks and matching solid color sweatpants and sweatshirts looking like homeless power rangers. My foster son also wears Ugg slippers like 70% of the time even though he owns like 9 pairs of shoes. Sometimes he steals my house slippers to wear to school too. I don’t get it. A couple months ago he looked at some perfectly normal looking plaid button up shirt that I would totally wear and said with disdain “that looks like something you would wear”. I gave him the old, “listen here, you little shit…”. I think I’m officially too old for modern “fashion”.
Pretty sure I have that yomega at home in my yoyo drawer.
Chicks dig yoyos or that’s what I tell myself when I take them out.
Any who don’t aren’t worth your time.
I’ll always remember being mid 20s and the look this girl gave me when I showed up looking like a hip hop punk with a yoyo spinning on dundas and university in Toronto. Needless to say we didn’t have another date lol
This is EXACTLY when I learned I was gay.
What, when you looked at that meme?
LOL
Twilight Town resident starter pack.
Those shoes are to small to fit a TT resident. Same pattern, but you gotta get that toe cap about 10 times bigger.
The only thing I don’t recognize is the Evil Empire compact disc jewel case in the middle.
It’s apparent a Rage Against the Machine album.

That was cool in 96?
96’ I was 12 and yes. This was like 80% of the kids in school. Also, I feel called out.
To a first grader like me? Super cool.
