What was trendy during highschool for you?

[Tucci]

Year: 2001-2005
Country: US
Fashion: Trench coats, Wide bottomed black pants (usually with straps), wallet chains, metal band t-shirts. Don't think any of those were "hip", but that's what the crowed I hung out with wore (me being the one in a trench coat).
Music: Linkin Park, Godsmack, Lacuna Coil, System of a Down, Rage against the Machine, and Dream Theater.

Don't think there was anything particularly special about the lingo, except the usual Massachusetts: Wicked awesome, and "sick" being cool.

Don't forget about "kid". I guess not a lot of people from other places say that, people didn't know why I was always calling them kid in vent when I first started playing WoW, lol. "Sup kid" "Night kid" "wtf, kid". I still say them all the time but I've cut down xD

I have no idea what was supposed to be popular, I don't think anything was really... People wore whatever clothes they wanted and listened to whatever music they wanted. I don't remember anyone ever caring about any of it.

I think that mostly had to do with our school system in The Netherlands. After primary school children can go on to 3 "levels" of schools based largely on test scores. I did the highest level. As a result we had no dominant groups, no popular kids to tell us what we were supposed to wear and no jocks beating us up in gym. Also the worst insult we used in class was calling people "farmers". I had an especially pleasant class, and I don't remember anyone actually caring what other people wore (well, except the girl who showed up in a top that was so small you could look in from above and below, that was much discussed)

Holland.

Jumpstyle

Ralph Lauren, G-sus, G-star, Replay, Levi's, Tommy Hilfiger, basicly any clothing piece costing more than 50 bucks a pop.

Oh, Björn Börg boxers. Especially in the summer, with wearing the bjorn borg logo above your swimmingpants.

:/ I went to fill it out. Then I realised I didn't give a shit about that crap then so never remembered what people dressed/acted like because I didn't pay them any attention. Was in the early 2000s. Either that or I just have a terrible memory.

I have never understood what is the point in dressing up outside of jeans and a shirt or a suit. Everything else seems rather pointless.

From The Netherlands:
Marbles, rollerskates, pokemon cards (and throwing them as close to the wall as possible, as a 'duel', and whoever got closest won the other card), football, street hockey, baseball, and lots of other silly things. Like Scoubidou ropes.

[Monoxyde]

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

no shit!? that's mind blowing. they're so good and have influenced a lot of people.

Fashion - oh god dont laugh =P but I was fairly fashionable here.. reebox or LA gear shoes, folded or pinned pant legs and 1-3 pairs of these big colorful socks but mind you this was working outside clothes so not the best representation.

No idea, don't think anything was. Maybe pokemon cards, or some other fad.

Basicly toys. When WoW released I lost all sence off belonging inn my 1st school, and just stayed with a few friends, who luckly got me into wow and we still play together - Atleast they play Diablo now. Before then I was playing Pokemon, or Diablo2 or other PC games.

Nerd all the way, and still a nerd...gaming nerd ehm...

Funnily enough, that fashion evolved to Phats. Very popular with ravers/Melbourne Shufflers.

Good god, the cyber kids. I think it might be the worst type of trend that ever existed. Raves has always been good fun though.

Music: Boy/Girl band crap, nu-metal & pop punk
Lingo: for some strange reason everyone was referred to as "betty" & other than that just standard west coast of Scotland stuff!

Yep, I may be old, but I got out before schoolies started properly dressing as prostitutes!
