What was trendy during highschool for you?

[BetrayedOf52]

During highschool, everyone of different ages experiences different trends/fads and die out very quickly, what do you remember being big when you went? Me and few friends are curious to what others had to deal with when they went.

Year ( if you feel comfortable ) - 2006
Country ( same as above) Canada
Fashion - "scene clothes" / "emo", band shirts and black
Music - Metal / Pop punk bands such as fall out boy
Lingo - I remember you mad bro starting at the end of my highschool years... a lot of you mad bro?


Ill use these for what I remember considering it's the biggest changes through the years..

What do you remember? I know rap / electronic music is big right now as my little brother is now going.

Country - Scotland

Year - I went to Grammar School. I'm not entirely sure what school years a High School covers, presumably similar to Secondary School, if so then late 80s.

Country - England.

Fashion - School blazer, school tie, dark trousers, dark socks, black shoes, sensible haircut. We were at the cutting edge of cool.

Music - "Consule cunctis" was our school song. I think I can still remember the first verse. I can certainly recall the school chant.

Lingo - English and Latin.

Moon Boots! I'm glad that i considered them hidious even then. This was late 1980's and early 90's. You saw these monsters everywhere!

My first year of highchool was dominated by emo/gothic kids. My 2nd year and onward was mostly "Refy"(derogatory term for Cubans who refuse to adapt)
Year 2006-2010
Country US( Miami, Florida)
Fashion- Guys: BIG belt buckles, overuse of hair gel on stupid looking spikes, falling pants despite the belt, big shoes to imply they were packing more... Girls: REALLY TIGHT pants, hoop earrings almost half the size of their faces, dyed hair.
Music- Idk it was mostly Reggaeton in Spanish that bothered my ears ( I dont listen to music in general, but I dislike this genre in particular.)
Lingo- badly butchered Spanish with some English words mixed in.

School uniform so nothing >.< You were cool if you walked around with just the polo shirt and possible a button or two undone >.<

Year: 95-99

2007
Canada

Business and formal wear was trendy among the men. It started in junior year with the football team wearing dress shirts+ties (often in pink, for some reason) on game days. Then it spread to the other sports teams, then the student body as a whole, with everyone dressing up on game days for any sport. Then the football team got onto a winning streak in senior year and the team started wearing them every day. Then they escalated to 2 and 3 piece suits. It peaked during the city championship when the team captain started showing up in a tux.

Lol that sounds ridiculous.

Yes, but sharp-looking ridiculous. Was a lot better than many other fashion trends noted above.

Best band ever, can't believe they didn't get the votes for Rock and roll hall of fame.

[Immitis]

skinny jeans and hipster hair

[Blufossa]

Eh, I never cared for fads at all. Even during high school in 06-07 I was still wearing t-shirts, jeans, hoodies, drawing and listening to dance music.

I still do the same stuff now in 2014.

[Hyve]

Year: ~2006
Country: United Kingdom, England, Southern Coast
Fashion: Emo / Scene / Punk & Tracksuits / Jogging Bottoms / Hoodies
Music: Emo / Metal / Punk / Rock (My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Lost Prophets)
Lingo: Innit / Bring it / Braap Braap / Bulakasha!

I had my own little Emo phase, dyed hair, darker clothes and such, but some people during my school years took it way to far, and have continued into their adult lives with that sense of fashion, which to me seems rather odd. The alternative really was being a Chav, so the choices you had were really awesome. Look like an idiot, or ... Look like an idiot.

I couldn't really say myself. Since I was in my own tightknit group of friends that didn't really follow any Fads, we just enjoyed what we enjoyed at the time and changed when we got bored.

Don't really remember what other people did :/

Most trendy thing in my group was probably Video Games and Newgrounds.com
