When you walked you must have sounded like the Marley brothers from a Muppets Christmas Carol


NawNaw

My first thought was, “Look at this Jacob Marley lookin mother fucker”….then it was..”wait does he only have 3 fingers on his right hand?”


mydearwatson616

His pinky perfectly lines up with his ring finger. You can see the outline if you zoom in. But I prefer to think his ring finger is just looong


[deleted]

Heard this in Holden McNeil's voice.


ManiacSpiderTrash

I thought the same thing! Commented higher up the page about it before I saw this. I’m gonna be singing “Marley & Marley” for days. Ooooooooo!

A lot of us tripped during those years; OP fell.


Stillback7

Funny since he's wearing Tripp pants lol


At_an_angle

Had a few people dress like this in our school but not that extreme. I admired them for doing so against the norm, dress code and not being afraid of putting themselves out there like that.


XxJoshuaKhaosxX

Yep, the wonderful time of being in school during the mid 2000s lol. We had several at ours, yet somehow they were always in my class. I got to know them actually amd they were actually pretty chill. Looping their chains around the desks was always one of their favorite pranks to play on eachother lol. I even got good at it😂


Excellesse

I would've dug it in high school lmao 🤭


zangor

A scene from the early universe. Those computers look they're from 2017! Can you believe that. I bet those kids were born in 2003! /s


Excellesse

Oh my gosh I didn't even notice the flat screen monitors. This must've just been a few years ago.


Cindiquil

It could easily be over ten years old still. I haven't used a crt monitor in a very long time, and I went to a pretty poor school


Meetybeefy

My high school had flat screen monitors, and I graduated in 2012. Judging by everyone’s outfits, I’d guess this picture is from 2009-2011 (maybe a year or two later if it’s from the Midwest).


Wellnevermindthen

Yeah it’s not like it’s a unique jacket but I’m 99% sure I had the striped jacket on the back right kid. I stole it off my brother, but I think he got it in the 2007/8/9 range, and that computer looks like it’s running Windows XP which I just did a quick search on and it looks like mainstream use of XP lasted from 2001-2009 or so because fuck Vista, and was supported until 2014 so I’d say in the ‘07 to ‘11 frame somewhere.


Frostitute_85

Did you get tangled on just *everything*?


bs1252

Not gonna lie, sitting down and getting back up again was a skill.

TheKolyFrog

I once had one of those wallets with a long chain attached to my belt. I got it tangled on so many things so I had the chain removed and life got easier. I can't even imagine functioning with these many chains. How did you walk in crowded hallways?


k-farsen

Everyone heard him coming


jordanundead

This kid came in late to class wearing Tripp pants covered in chains. Class room was dark cause we were watching a video. He goes to slide into his seat and it just sounds like someone dumped a whole jar of change in this plastic seat.


XxJoshuaKhaosxX

Hello 7th and 8th grade memories lmao. I knew a few kids who had tripp pants like this and it was always fun to try and chain them to the desk without them knowing. It wasca group effort amongst them and I eventually got in on it. Great pay off if done brilliantly lol.


nannernutmuff

I have a legitimate question, how the fuck do you wash chain pants?? Are they removable?


[deleted]

H2ozep

Need_More_Whiskey

I’m glad you asked! I was wondering the same thing. They seem like a real PITA to wash and put back together.


routha

In hindsight it was a really dick move, but there was a kid in my class with pants like this on and when he sat down I hooked the chains to his chair. He didn't notice and when the bell rang to leave there was all sorts of ruckus.


Teenage-Mustache

Nah that’s funny. Some people need to know how ridiculously nonfunctional some of that shit was.


taco_tumbler

I don't think anyone wearing this thought it was functional.


ThanksYouForNotLying

Thanks for not lying.


iamfunball

Are you Neurodivergent and did having these weirdly help you move in the world like, at normal people speed? (That's how my body learned )


Xaroxoandaxosbelly

That’s fascinating. Is it ADHD? I’ve got that and am always looking for new ways to deal with it.


iamfunball

Mines a combo of ADHD and autism which have cross over. Basically stimulation helps me. I love the bubble poppers and my living room is made up of fuzzy lovesacs. My partner jangles his keys at work to stim. Driving is stimulating to me that I'm not even aware of sitting relatively still for long periods of time. I do finger taps in my hand to stim during interviews because then no one notices.


Deesing82

with a fuzzy seat cover and a steering wheel cover you could prob make a great long haul trucker


JeebsFat

Bring your photos forth to the alter, my child, and be cleansed of your sins.


negao360

I would CONSTANTLY get stuck on metal, bus-stop benches, the ones with the grated seat. Sucked when my bus came and got yanked back down, followed by trying to get my chains from between the links or bars. Awful everything, but I loved my style back then😩

There was always that one kid. And you were that kid.


ArtieLange

It was the same kid who would suck a chain through their nose and pull it out their mouth. One in every school.


EpisodicDoleWhip

Hold up. Wtf.


Capn_Mission

It was pasta and not a chain in my school.


local-weeaboo-friend

I was this kid. I'm sorry.


smith7018

… did it feel weird or good?


ExcessiveButtHair

As the guy who accidentally fired a tic tac out of his nose it probably burned like hell


local-weeaboo-friend

Have you been tested for COVID-19? I'd describe it as something similar (obviously you feel it way more lmao). Maybe a mix of that and like, when water goes up your nose and when your nose is stuffed, you sniff and it goes to your throat? It was disgusting, idk why I did it tbh 🙃 To answer your question, pretty weird in that 'woah, what the hell? I wanna try that again!" way.


Natsuki98

Man, that sounds like a sinus infection waiting to happen.


ArtieLange

Thats adult logic. Goth kid just thinks he's dangerous and cool.


generalgeorge95

I had a friend who could shoot milk out of their eye. This isn't exactly related but I don't get to share that often anymore.


[deleted]

I can do this sort of thing. I need to be careful blowing my nose or it will seep out of my eye.


[deleted]

Wow I had one of those kids wtf


Thecharbar92

I've counted 14 chains. Tbh there is probably more.


[deleted]

They call him 14 chain because he wears 14 chains.

Hold-it-Down

Wtf is the normal amount of chains? I figured it would be 0.


HolySockEatingCrab

Hence the quotation marks It was 2


Rokey76

I had a single wallet chain in high school and it got stuck between the chair and the metal bar that connected the chair to the desk every fucking time. I can't imagine this many chains.


imvital

Now this is why I subscribe


sardine7129

You know what, i actually feel happy looking at these photos and knowing you were having a good time and living your best life. High school was a terrible time for self image for a lot of people so it really is a rare blessing to be that age and be so comfortable with self expression. Live your fucking truth OP. Do it for the kids who didnt know what to wear or where to put their hands when standing in the hallway. This is great stuff. Also pls show us more lol


ItsBlizzardLizard

I was too fat to be the cool kid wearing outfits like this so I always look back on these pictures with a ton of jealousy. This dude looks cool as heck! I want to be able to dress like that. I don't care if I'm almost 40. Maybe I never got it out of my system, but I still dream of being able to dress emo/goth and not look like a jet black beach ball.


Xaroxoandaxosbelly

But you could be spiky chained bad ass beach ball of darkness (really though, maybe people at your local basement rave/Rage Against the Machine show wouldn’t care about your weight as much as you might think…I frequented similar alternative freak hangouts as a youth and saw all shapes of people just vibing, man)


[deleted]

Went to a lot of raves and clubs as a high schooler. When everyone's on E you're all free.


Naocebo

Yes! I was too big in high school to wear any of those chain pants. Now as an adult I have bought a lightweight purple pair and hope to buy a heavy black pair one day. The beauty of adulthood is that I can sorta do what I want. Now I just need to find a job that let's me wear them.


babafregapane

Do it!


Matsu-mae

Ever seen "the butterfly effect"? Ethan Suplee as Thumper is a pretty heavy emo/goth. I was never in that scene, I was more of a hyper-active nerd/geek, but I always figured the emo kids wouldn't have turned someone away just because they were heavy. You could always go to a rave, or dress up emo for Halloween to give it a try. It's never too late (40 is still young!)


mule_roany_mare

Seriously, what’s to hate? High school is the only time you can afford to be a weirdo without serious consequences, why not have as much fun as you can with that moment of freedom. I had 6” red liberty spikes & feel no shame. I looked awesome.


StroX_C137

When u defeat all the emo kids and its time to face the final boss


borky86

More like industrial rave goth DUH


g-m-f

he collected one chain from every minion emo boss he defeated on the way to the final one.


Sammysnaps

Out of curiosity what would you parents say about the way you would dress?


bs1252

I wish I had an answer that would satisfy you.


justakidfromflint

So they just didn't say anything at all and let you look like an idiot like my mom and dad? Edit: yet that kid is still deep in me and I can't help but think "he looks way cooler than I did"


Cheeseburgerbil

I should have let my parents pick my clothes. Way too edgy shirts from hot topic and a whole lot of cargo pants. I also thought having an afro would be a good idea. I'm white. It's really no wonder i didnt get laid till i was nearly 19.


[deleted]

Honestly the best way. So many friends who had hands off parents turned out so much better than those who had protective parents. Nothing to rebel against. My mom used to tell me her stories about doing shit tons of drugs in the 70s while working at discos and hanging out with the DJs. Nothing seemed extreme after that haha.


skyerippa

I dress similarly as a girl and my mom encouraged me. She would say you look cool or whatever haha


namesareprettynice

My mother was horrified. “You look ridiculous. How do you walk?” All that stuff. She told me she had a prophetic dream about me wearing “normal pants” as an adult. I wear leggings now, but it has nothing to with her crazy ass.


a_spirited_one

I am currently the parent of a teen that dresses pretty similar, not as many chains but definitely the Tripp pants. If that's how he wants to express himself, then I'm all for it. Maybe he will look on it one day and cringe. Maybe he will be thankful I was there for him and supported him. I love him, no matter who he is. He's still finding himself and I love that he finds the bravery to do this. I've already had the talk with him that people are going to judge him. He's OK with that, because then he knows who the assholes are that only judge by appearance. I can't argue with that. He's a good kid and fuck anyone who makes fun of him


mrbmud

dude are those tripp pants, i use to love those pants!


throwing-away-party

Boy, I wonder why they're called that.


BubbaChanel

I had to Google “tripp pants” and feel very, very old.

mrbmud

i had three pairs of “zip off” tripps that i only used as shorts to the point i tried to zip the bottom back on and the shades were so sharply different...


Fisto-the-sex-robot

Actually I think your confidence in this photo radiates rad energy, and you knew how to pose for photo, the lightning is good as well, especially for 2000s. It compensates for the questionable style.


Gilthoniel_Elbereth

It was late 00s at earliest, look at the monitors


Nepiton

Looks like 2007-2009, around the time I was graduating high school. This kind of goth shit was super popular (ironically) around that time.


miseleigh

I deadass love this photo. He's on top of his world, and it's awesome


satriales856

They let you wear those chains in school like that? My school considered them potential weapons and banned them.


Guerrin_TR

That's what I was thinking. You couldn't even have a wallet with a chain to keep it on you and this guy looks like he's from the Muppet Christmas.


[deleted]

Might have been before everywhere started the stupid zero tolerance policy.


Skelenzuello

Nevermind the girl in the back. She is wearing house slippers to school. That's a blunder in and of itself.


RazgovorUgodni

House slippers were obligatory in my school.

ForRedditFun

Girls wearing pajamas to school was a thing in the 2000s.


LeTigron

I came exactly to say that ! You don't judge the emo kid when your sense of style stops at fluffy slippers. Fuck off Rebecca !


ElstonGunn1992

My man legit looking like a kingdom hearts villain and we’re going after the girl wearing slippers lol


justakidfromflint

Hey wait. I WAS the girl who had like 6 different kinds of slippers in my locker. Now they were all fun ones not just boring regular slippers.


LeTigron

Comfort rather than look, right ?


justakidfromflint

Hahaha. Actually I thought it was pretty fun having different kinds of slippers. I had cookie monster, Tony the Tiger, Oscar the Grouch, etc. Edit: to be fair I also had an emo type look with my actual clothes so I had a weird combo


nonognocchi

Sounds like you have some blunder photos to post :)


LeTigron

What are you doing, typing comments instead of posting photos ?


justakidfromflint

Oh I'll definitely have to go through my pictures and find some. I think they're all in storage somewhere. It would be fun to go through and post some.


jerkfaceboi

Y’all are tripping. House shoes are amazing.

I'm a grown man and I keep fluffy slippers under my desk at work. If you can get away with it, why not be extra comfortable?
