I'm pretty sure the Jansport was standard issue, cool or not.

I was poor and had the knock off No Fear…No Rules

No cool kid ever wore those giant ass pants. They wore super baggy ones.

JNCOS were wildly popular…

Ah shit, I remember to yoyo craze, some of them were insanely priced for the time!

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I had a nice yoyo back in middle school. And I knew even then it wasn't cool. Fun? Yes. Neat? Maybe. But cool? Nope

Yeh, I feel like the bleach blonde "curtains" hair cut doesn't really fit in with the rest of the things in this image either. At least not where I'm from, they are from opposing "cliques".

As a millennial, this is such a comfort community. Thanks for getting this going!😁

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 3 points 1 week ago

We can use all the comfort we can find these days.

as someone who had every single thing in this picture, youre welcome <3

edit: actually, i ripped some waynes world holes in my jnco's, so i was a bit cooler than the one sporting these.

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

I ripped the outside of the legs and held them together with safety pins, which I thought would make me look cool as fuck, but then I got bullied for being "poor".

Hey cool - now that I can afford a No Fear shirt and a Discman I have no desire for them.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Holy shit that was me

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Think I have done it all here.. fml. RATM on vinyl🤙

My childhood Pussy vs. Chicken No Fear t-shirt is probably my most prized possession…

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure this is more, "what uncool kids thought made you cool in '96."

I did all of this and definitely was not cool

[–] SwampYankee@feddit.online 1 points 1 week ago

Oof, only 3/10.

[–] dejpivo@lemmings.world 1 points 1 week ago

Time to get a wig, I guess...

Bullshit I was 16 in 1996 and a cool kid and had none of that except the portable cd player.
