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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Man what was 2020 graduation like?

[–] kluevo 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Sounds like a pain in the ass

[–] bigmanjezza 2 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.

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 1 year ago

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

[–] sagrotan 9 points 1 year ago

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

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 1 year 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 1 year 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] 7 points 1 year ago

Alcohol gives you cancer, gaming does not.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Gamers truly are the most oppressed ✊😪

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

[–] c0mbatbag3l 2 points 1 year ago

Me, dropping into DMZ with a single plate carrier, a throwing knife, my vape, and a DREAM.

I really don't care about party-goers.

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

How about internet party goers

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

And how about lan-party goers?

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

Drunken LAN parties. Ahh, those were the days

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Spoiler alert...

They both suck

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Bruh this meme is so stale could clobber someone to death with it

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

I'm part of the two, am I special? 🙊
