I mean, alcohol is bad at its taste : memes

A false dichotomy created by pop culture to divide teenagers into cliques.

Is this divisive jock/preppy/nerd/skater/gangsta shit still going on 23 years after I left high school? I thought y'all zoomers were better than that.

hello, I'm a 2020 hs graduate, I'm probably in the zoomer category. from my experience, this does not exist outside of movies.

fun /s

I mean, as a nerd with no interest in prom, it wasn't all bad. My hs has us still do graduation almost as normal (masks and spacing, ofc), with the only major difference being that it was split across multiple days so we could fit everyone on the front lawn.

The fact that they had to do the speeches six times was the only reason I was slightly glad to have missed out on being valedictorian/salutorian

[–] bigmanjezza 2 points 2 years ago

pretty boring tbh. most of it was the same, just with masks on, and classes online. thankfully, mu part of australia was mostly unaffected by covid, so final WACE exams were basically the same. the big send off was already done before hand

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 years ago

Actually not. You can be a massive nerd these days and still go get fucked up and party.

There will always be popular extroverts and unpopular introverts.

This would have been maybe edgy or interesting 20 years ago

Having been a teenager approximately 20 years ago, no this wouldn't. We partied and went out, and played video games and surfed the net back then too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Eh. I grew up in a football town. There was definitely a dichotomy between the popular kids and the "nerds" back when the term was only used as an insult. I think people have to remember their local experiences are only indicative of their locale, not the world at large. The same likely applies here. Won't be true for everyone, so the post is at least wrong in that regard, but the person who made it probably just didn't consider their experience is the same as everyone else's either.

Based on just browsing social media, this would be more accurate if it were stated as a spectrum and the two extremes hate each other. That would explain the posts in the recent past of people complaining about "normies" (unironically) joining Lemmy.

I was actually both . I was in the robotics club and programming/ gaming on my free time. Then on the weekends I was out drinking and hanging with a completely different set of friends.

[–] nexguy 10 points 2 years ago

The double loser? Gaming and having friends must have been painful to live through.

[–] sagrotan 9 points 2 years ago

In the 90s it wasn't a problem to do both, so I became a double loser.

Alcohol gives you cancer, gaming does not.

I was the Internet/Gamer kid raised by television who got drunk at 17 and fell off a roof. Why was I drunk on a roof? Fuckin' 2001.

Not sure which category I fall under.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I lived in terraced housing and I used to walk across the steep rooftop of my house down to the neighbors. At the time I thought I was being cool, like my hero, Daredevil. Looking back on it now, it was ridiculously dangerous.

I lament the loss of quite a few of my parallel selves.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah lol. I was an internet troll through and through, and somehow found my way into a pretty diverse group in uni.

I don't even want to start on the drunk shenanigans we got up to.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Gamers truly are the most oppressed ✊😪

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Oh no, I was in the first group (for 3/4 of high school) and I definitely thought that I was a loser.

[–] Haha 6 points 2 years ago

If you’re not born rich, you’re a loser. There.

I'm about to blaze up and jump into this Tarkov wipe with the boys. The fuck is this.

I really don't care about party-goers.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How about internet party goers

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And how about lan-party goers?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Drunken LAN parties. Ahh, those were the days

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Spoiler alert...

They both suck
