A false dichotomy created by pop culture to divide teenagers into cliques.

Yeah, I mean I did plenty of both.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And have felt super cool and like a total loser doing both.

Imagine not cracking a beer while playing Vidya Games.

Is this divisive jock/preppy/nerd/skater/gangsta shit still going on 23 years after I left high school? I thought y'all zoomers were better than that.

hello, I'm a 2020 hs graduate, I'm probably in the zoomer category. from my experience, this does not exist outside of movies.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Man what was 2020 graduation like?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

fun /s

I mean, as a nerd with no interest in prom, it wasn't all bad. My hs has us still do graduation almost as normal (masks and spacing, ofc), with the only major difference being that it was split across multiple days so we could fit everyone on the front lawn.

The fact that they had to do the speeches six times was the only reason I was slightly glad to have missed out on being valedictorian/salutorian

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Sounds like a pain in the ass

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

pretty boring tbh. most of it was the same, just with masks on, and classes online. thankfully, mu part of australia was mostly unaffected by covid, so final WACE exams were basically the same. the big send off was already done before hand

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago

Actually not. You can be a massive nerd these days and still go get fucked up and party.

There will always be popular extroverts and unpopular introverts.

I was actually both . I was in the robotics club and programming/ gaming on my free time. Then on the weekends I was out drinking and hanging with a completely different set of friends.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

The double loser? Gaming and having friends must have been painful to live through.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Gamers truly are the most oppressed ✊😪

In the 90s it wasn't a problem to do both, so I became a double loser.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was the Internet/Gamer kid raised by television who got drunk at 17 and fell off a roof. Why was I drunk on a roof? Fuckin' 2001.

Not sure which category I fall under.

Alcohol gives you cancer, gaming does not.

I really don't care about party-goers.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How about internet party goers

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And how about lan-party goers?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Drunken LAN parties. Ahh, those were the days

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

If you’re not born rich, you’re a loser. There.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Oh no, I was in the first group (for 3/4 of high school) and I definitely thought that I was a loser.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I was both of these as a teen and basically still am. I'm also a confirmed loser so this meme checks out!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Same except for the still am part.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Spoiler alert...

They both suck

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Bruh this meme is so stale could clobber someone to death with it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm part of the two, am I special? 🙊
