Kids in my primary school where talking about this, it's not exclusive to the 90's

[-] Badgernomics@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

There was a documentary I watched years ago on Netflix that said it dates back to the 70's, possibly as far backs pre 1900, but in pop culture the 70's for sure.

Probably still carved on the desk.

That's the meme inside of the meme

What is this symbol? The letter S? The number 8? Zero or O twisted in the middle?

The answer: Yes.

Interesting Lemmino video about the S https://piped.video/watch?v=RQdxHi4_Pvc

[-] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 11 months ago

1890s right?

[-] Cstrrider@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Its amazing how international this S is and nobody knows where it came from. Its one of the most crucial social mysteries of the the late 20th century.

[-] trouser_mouse@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

This has been kicking around for so long, I wonder where it originally came from!

I just listened to the Denim and Leather album a few days ago.

PS. Not just the 90s. We were drawing that in the 80s also .

Cool S gang represent

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

My mind was blown when I learned this was never actually associated with Stussy.

[-] Jamixthedestroyer@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

All hail the S

[-] planish@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

My namesake. 😍

[-] B3_CHAD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

I still don't know if this is an "8" or a "S".

[-] TheRealLinga@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Is there a name for this symbol? Definitely brings me back

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago
