lmao, what a blast from the past. When I was in school in the 2000s all the cool kids were constantly talking about bling and wearing tacky gangsta jewelry

I guess this quote from the TV Tropes page for GTA IV explains why I stopped hearing about bling somewhere around the first Obama administration:

The game really takes aim at the "bling" culture in America, something that died hard and quickly among the 2008 economic collapse, an event that was beginning to unfold when Grand Theft Auto IV was released

bling didn't die, it just changed its name. ice, glam, finery, drip. it's all the same shit.

the only thing that changes is how many levels of irony different cohorts claim to be on when they wear 3 months rent as accessories.
