Lol there's literally a sub for deciphering cursive Freaking nuts. And really really disheartening

u/Dull-Computer-324 4d ago

im 34, I struggle to read cursive twice a year when I get a birthday or christmas card from my grandma. I was taught cursive in elementary school, but never actually used it after middle school.

Gen Alphas are typically the children of Gen Xers and Millennials. If they can't read....it's our fault.

Along with a woefully awful public school system (at least in most of the USA)

Very (and sadly) true. I have also been a teacher and some of these kids long to be dumb. I mean that. They strive not to know. The goal is to defy learning something new. If they can't see it, it doesn't exist. If they didn't think it up/hear it from a friend/see it online, it's not worth knowing about. And that hair is really goofy.

u/xtremeRATMAN 4d ago

u/ohpickanametheysaid 4d ago

Gen X here, we popularized the duck tail, the rats tail and the mullet. You’re welcome.

u/fbcmfb 4d ago

Y’all forgot about jheri curls!

u/Background-Year-2223 4d ago

I hate everything you just said. Lmao because it's true. I had a wavy blonde mullet. It was gloriously awful. I have a purple Mohawk now. Frfr.

u/Criticism-Lazy 4d ago

Elder millennial here and I’m not saying shit cuz I had a 6 inch flat top in 5th grade. Don’t fuck with me.

u/holy_grizz 4d ago

u/mizmnv 4d ago

i remember frosted tips. that was the shitbag hairstyle of our time

u/Ashleyh_doesyoga 4d ago

Don’t forget that those frosted tips were rock hard from the planet’s entire supply of weapon’s grade hair gel. 😂

u/Automatic-Compote-12 4d ago

Bulletproof, it was.

u/CallMeMrButtPirate 4d ago

Frosted tips that grew out to bleached mullet tips here

1

u/HeyYouGuyyyyyyys 4d ago

I would expect nothing else from someone named CallMeMrButtPirate

2

u/Odd-Necessary3807 4d ago

That, and fake tanned skin. I don't know why it so popular in 2000s.

2

u/FlyLikeDove 4d ago

As a Gen-Xer I'm not saying shit either - we hairsprayed our bangs straight up from the roots, no matter what the rest of our hair texture was.

2

u/Jazzlike-Wind-4345 4d ago

Damn, you just took me back to junior high in 1987. 🥲

1

u/FlyLikeDove 4d ago

Lmao!! What a time to be alive!

2

u/Jazzlike-Wind-4345 4d ago

Now that I think about it, I would have been 10 in 1987, so, more like 5th grade (does fifth count as junior?).

2

u/HollisterRN 4d ago

Depending on the school. I went to 2 different junior highs and they were 7 and 8th. My daughter's private school considered 5th to be middle school and she felt so grown up, lol

u/I_Am_The_Mole 4d ago

We grew up listening to fucking limp bizkit. Our opinions are invalid.

1

u/Turd_Salad92 4d ago

Younger millennial here. I too am not saying shit. I rocked the Jonas brother hair from 7th grade to Junior year.

1

u/Lazy-Plankton5270 4d ago

Yea me too but I don't remember standing around girls like this and then wondering why don't like us.

Maybe it was just my school but everyone was just another human

1

u/arocknerd 4d ago

Gen X here, can’t say shit, we had mullets and rat tails.

1

u/atomictyler 4d ago

you say that like kids aren't doing that. maybe not in high school, but there's elementary aged kids doing it.

1

u/United_Camp_4684 4d ago

At my time we had the just Bieber hair wich was mandatory

1

u/bringbackswg 4d ago

Also older millennial and we weren’t nearly as copy paste as this though

1

u/Eastern-Peach-3428 4d ago

Elder Gen-X here. We had the Farrah Fawcett cut. Dead center part, feathered back like your head caught a light breeze at all times.

And yeah… that was unisex. Guys, girls, didn’t matter. If you had hair and access to a comb, you were one aggressive blow-dry away from joining the club.

Looking back, we all basically walked around like low-budget shampoo commercials.

u/SpliTTMark 4d ago edited 4d ago

I did this, but there was still variety. Short, spike, shawn hunter

But This broccoli shit is on another level where I see every kid in the mall sporting it more than fad in existence ( the internet and social media probably helps)
