Are the front curls really such a zoomer thing? I've been dealin' with'em for decades now because Arabic and Irish heritage means my hair is constantly in rebellion against british beauty standards
It's become a zoomer thing. Last Xmas my friend's little cousin of Polish and Polish heritage was rocking them instead of his usual arrow straight hair.
cousin of Polish and Polish heritage
Sure he doesn't also has some Polish in him? Maybe a bit of Polish too?
I imagine, with that heritage, every part of you is in constant rebellion against the British!
As well they should be.
Broccoli cut
I thought the Meet Me at McDonald's was just curly on top, shaved back and sides. Dubya in this pic looks like one of those goldfish with the big sticking-out brain.
Article doesn't explain why they felt the need to ban it?
With a name like Great Yarmouth Charter Academy, I'm guessing it's just a case of "posh old fashioned British school being posh and old fashioned fuddy-duddies when confronted with anything that departs from their narrow view of propriety" ๐คท

It's called the "meet me at McDonald's" haircut. No joke
It's actually typically called the "Broccoli cut."
At least that's the only way I've heard it.

โCapโ is a lie or exaggeration.
So โno capโ is โIโm not lying/Iโm being serious.โ
Do you by any chance know if this expression stems from twitch chat? I've heard the expression "No Kappa" pretty early there where kappa is the trollface of the platform often indicating something is meant ironically.
On the flip side "No Cap" could indicate the absence of irony and therefore something bering dead serious
If I remember correctly, itโs from a Travis Scott song. But I donโt typically listen to rap, so I wouldnโt know for sure.
popularized from the Young Thug and Future track of the same name:
My bitch can't sleep at my house
Make her sleep at a hotel now
And when you talk, man, you talking off cap
And your diamonds they looking like tap
I was always ducking from the paps
Keep an R&B bitch in my lap
Out in Beverly Hills, I adapt
But I still had to ride with that strap
Yellow diamonds like banana, that's cap
Put some dirty in Mello Yello, no cap
Rocking Maison Margiela's, that's cap
Red bitch, Cinderella, no cap

I see your rizz and raise you a skibidi. (probably b/c I like the way that word sounds in my head... sk-i-bi-di do dah day ๐ต ๐ถ )
Also, rizz means "the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner" so... now I have to think about GWB strutting his stuff, thanks for that:-P (that's surely what made me think of my own word... gotta flush it out somehow?)
Rizz is just short for "Charisma"
There is no z in charisma, obviously it's short for Rizzoli
I like this explanation the best: therefore this is now permanently etched into my brain! :-P
....and Isles??
I love my pasta rizzolini
Rizzolini sounds like an WW2 Italian dictator
From New Jersey.

I was watching the Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve from 1999 and immediately after the ball dropped they cut to a shot of the NYC skyline with the WTC intact.
My Zoomer kid was shocked. Every time they've seen the WTC it's been at the start of some 9/11 documentary.
It's in every "cut to a shot of NYC" scene pre-2001
So nothing they would have seen since they're still kids and were born well after 2001
I don't think the kids these days are watching a lot of "You've Got Mail"
LEARN YOUR HISTORY KIDS
Wasnโt that in Seattle?
No, it's set in Manhattan and features a number of filming locations in New York.
I think I was thinking of Sleepless in Seattle which I think is the same movie.
They might as well be
Well, every shot from 1973 to 2001 at least.
Still kinda weird for me to see the NYC skyline without them tbh. And I was 10 when 911 occurred.. and Iโm not even American
And movie trailer ...(like Spider-Man)
Why does zoomer Bush look like Tony Khan?
Why does Tony Khan look like zoomer Bush?
It's the brown-eyed cocaine stare.

This is going to be "too soon" until all of the millennials are dead.
Everyone outside the US are over it, especially considering the war to follow
Don't make me feel old. That's not nice! But yeah I know. It's just still such a gut punch.
George Carlin was first.
Joan Rivers got there just after.
We've been laughing at jokes about 911 for ages. Being edgy isn't new, even boomers do it
I remember Gilbert Gottfried at a Friar's Club roast. Can't remember what the actual joke was, but I remember he lost the whole audience, and then won them back with a spontaneous telling of "The Aristocrats"
Kudos for Carlin, who made fun of government propaganda. Maybe not so much for Joan Rivers for making fun of FDNY widows.
(I'm not a boomer, though. Or a millennial. Or really that edgy anymore, if I ever was....)
Oh I know. And there's some lessening of the emotions, I'm not enraged by the jokes this time. Just...sad.
Millennials in NY were cracking dark jokes about 9/11 in high school. โToo soonโ never existed for some of us.
That's coping humor. There's no stopping that.
Exactly. I was in class when we saw the crash on TV, we're allowed to joke about it.
Everyone took it so seriously. Lame as fuck. (Joke obviously)
I pray I don't live long enough for the zoomers to control the world.
At least in few years they will all be old enough that their hair will fall out.
What kinda boomer crap is this lmao. Millennials and xers like to act all high and mighty as if we didn't birth the evil that is 1337 (leetspeak). Don't forget our cringy "le so random" phase ๐คข

I can has cheezburger was peak humor for us at one point ffs. If we don't get over ourselves and stop dunking on gen z we're just as bad as the assholes that made all those braindead articles about avocado toast and how millennials are killing the diamond industry.
Besides, gen z is just us but raised with less false hope and American dream bullshit. The people you gotta worry about are gen alpha. Those are some feral mfers right there. They're being raised by the internet and it shows lol
I always thought I was pretty well put together and low-cringe, but every now and then I get a Facebook memory (I know, but I moved to another country and this is my lifeline to my friends and family) from ~2010 that really sheds some fucking light on exactly why I didn't have a girlfriend. These memories reveal to me that I was indeed very cringe, and very much a product of some of the lamest internet culture in recent memory. The frequent use of the cat face emoticon :3 when interacting with girls is enough to make me want to bury these things where they can never be seen again. Conversely, these memories serve as a reminder of not only just how far I've come as a man, but also as a husband, a father, and a member of society.
EDIT: It's worth mentioning that these mishaps are extremely prevalent in old exchanges between my wife and I as well, so at the very least her and I are able to cringe over them together.
I get it. The amount of times that I used xD is criminal lol. I'm right there with you on the Facebook because it's where I keep the family members that I don't want to deal with more than like once every few months and I definitely don't want them to have more reliable ways to contact me

All those people can get thrown in a lake too and I thought that at the time. Almost all your examples are stuff that was exclusively on the Internet and a subculture on the Internet at that
Least they didn't all have only one broccoli haircut.
Making fun of haircuts is really so old fashioned and petty dude. I hope you can learn to treat the younger people better. They're just younger people. :(
I was also making fun of them for being so conformist.
Which I actually think is a bigger issue with that generation.
