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. :(
Scene*
The term “scene” came towards the tail end of that episode of pop culture.
Seek women of your own age instead of high school girls ;)
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
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 :(

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!

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.

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.

That is an aesthetic I can get down with, though.
Give it 5-10 years and this will be fashionable again.
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.
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?
Invader Zim was the shit
I have no idea why the millennial vs gen z debate is trending right now but I just love it
Millennials are old enough to be crotchety old farts now.
Source: am millennial; am crotchety old fart.
I was that age in 2006 and that style was strange to me back then as well
Those times were so much better, no Karens or women with blue hair and shaved heads.
There were plenty of people with blue hair lmao what are you on
Or are you using blue hair as an alt right dogwhistle?
