There are still days that I really want a Kevorkian scarf.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

That phrase lives rent free in my head to this day

[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I feel like there should be a picture of Gir in between the hair dye and the Pick of Destiny.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's definitely missing Gir and the Blink-182 Self Titled album logo.

Actually if we wanted to be pedantic, (and why else are we here?) we could argue this is too wide a spread and encompasses multiple mini-generations. For example I loved MSI and Foamy and Tenacious D, but I was already in high school when Pick of Destiny came out and likewise I hated Happy Tree Friends as I felt it was both awful and mostly for younger kids (who shouldn't have been watching it, but it beats rotten.com and some of the other early Internet stuff they missed the boat on, but I digress...) This covers a wide spread of the early and mid to late 2000s and that doesn't seem like much from an outside perspective but this was back when years felt a proper length.

MSI... there's a name I've not heard in forever (beyond my laptop, that is). That was a fun group for a time. And Neurotically Yours I had all of.

Hey you leave Bawlz out of this, I still enjoy Blue Bawlz till this very day.

[–] Doublenut@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I'd like to guess solely on the specific images in the meme that you are exactly 31.

[–] Hasherm0n@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

I'm 41 and this speaks to me on a fundamental level.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A 31 didn't become a teenager until the late 00s

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Suburbs 31. Back then it took a few years for the culture to permeate into the breeding grid

IF YOU’RE SO SMART, EXPLAIN THIS CLARISSA! POW!

I do love me some MSI.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm something of a man of culture myself.

I'm having a hard time finding a good picture, but I had a whole wall of Frankenstein Girls lyrics written in silver sharpie.

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think that bottom picture gets the message across juuuust fine.

Me too. This was their best album, IMO. I genuinely love half the tracks, and listen to many of them regularly.

It was eligibly the most expensive and ridiculously produced album of all time. It’s their best album because nobody ever trusted them with their wallet like that again, lol.

Don't be dissing on Foamie

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

Hmmm, I feel like an Mp3 player should be part of this collage.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I have that image of Foamy as a tattoo

[–] Arachnidbrilliant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Is that the cartoon squirrel? I remember the squirrel from back in the day but I can’t remember the name of the show… or the squirrel..

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Yep. The rude little squirrel

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh dang. I had forgotten all about that flash cartoon. What was it called again?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh yeah. Neurotically Yours. Looks like they're still making videos.

Wish I could find some Bawls today.

They have it at Micro Center if you live near one.

yessss, JTHM! That shit was so cool to me

Also I introduced my friend group to Donnie Darko and American History X and it gave me remarkable street cred lol All of a sudden I was "the movie guy"

[–] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That Happy Tree Friends episode where the elk had to amputate it's leg with a spoon, only to realize he did the wrong one when he was finished, still follows me :D

I'll give you Bawls and Pixie Sticks as for wannabe edgy kids, but DDR was mostly otaku and otaku adjacent.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

I got really good at the DDR knockoff where you waved your hands over sensors so I could play it on my break at the mall and not get sweaty.

I thought I looked so cool tryharding that techno hand-jive.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's time for you to wake up, and take me, to the baggle shop, for a baggle with cream cheese, that creamy creamy cheese, OR FACE MY SQUIRRELY RATH!

I do have squirrely wrath you know. It's one of those, hidden nature things.

i was a different person on the DDR machine. i was great. now i have morton’s neroma, and fear having to put titanium arches in the ball’s of my feet, or getting nerve scrapings to be able to walk without feeling like that exposed nerve meme. i miss the dancing though

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Where are those belts with the fake spikes on them?

[–] lunchbox2287@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I haven't been in a while, but a couple years ago, you could still find Bawls at Microcenter of all places.

Oh sure, you all had Happy Tree Friends, but some of us were on next-level shit with R-slur Animal Babies
