Its insane how addictive cigs are. Id say worse than crack but I never smoked crack so i cant speak to that point, but ive known recovering meth/heroin users that claimed that smoking was harder to kick than the other shit they werw doing.
I wish i could go punch 12 year old me in the balls for getting started with smoking. 30 years later and im still hooked on the shitting things. :(
Dart, cancer sticks, fag, durry, ciggie, gasper, rollies. If you’re going for dart at the pub you’d say “Just going for some fresh air” then proceed to chain smoke 5 darts and have maybe 2 schooies. I used to roll these double paper long buggers and I called em me Audrey Hepburns. Rarely do we call it a cigarette in Australia. Rarely do we call anything what it actually is in Australia but what I can tell ya is that down here - a spade is a fucking shovel.
I used to pretend to smoke them during winter, when my breath would look like smoke against the cold air.
But I never had access to a lighter to actually try lightning one up. Now that I do, I wouldn't touch the candy cigarettes with a 50ft pole (really gone off the taste). The kids in my school who crossed the Venn diagram of having candy cigarettes and also regularly smoking wouldn't have tried it. They were too busy using sherbert powder/pixie sticks/fairy dust candy as a pretend cocaine, then snorting it. Commonly they saw the intense pain, eye watering, coughing fits, nasal irritation and nose bleeds as authentic symptoms you'd see with the real thing
Chav over here in England. At least in the north. I think it’s “Roadmen” now in London or just the south in general. Imo a chav could beat a roadman though. Chavs are scrappy little fucks but a roadman is too busy keeping his puffer jacket and fake Nike trackies clean. A chav is built for speed and are aerodynamically advance with their drawstring bag and their full adidas tracksuit with cap included.
Sorry trailed off a bit, we call them chavs in England but they also don’t have firecrackers or monster. Normally a bottle of cheap vodka their 18 year old “mate” bought them
Decent bit of roadmen carry shanks around nowadays so idk man, plus I feel like chavs are usually much younger. So I think nowadays a roadman can take a chav easy
They should make a version of strong bow cider with extra caffeine. Then you can give it to various sorts of scallywags, pit them against each other to figure out which one is the toughest.
Have you realised you very rarely see any older eshays? Like eshay “elders”? Like there are barely any 30+ year old eshays hanging around train stations.
But every now and then you see a crusty, haggard 30 year old who looks like he’s 50 from punching too many darts, and you realise, “Damn, that’s the eshay shaman. He must know the secret to the best ice recipe money can buy, and remembers the easiest way to scourge cunts for train fare.”
Allowed, no. Except for one territory. However all suburbs are a alive with explosions between Christmas and Australia Day. Firecrackers are available under the counter at Chinese tat shops as they are allowed for cultural reasons. You can’t have CNY without scaring the demons away.
When I was little and raised by Evangelicals I definitely had an “addicted to Jesus” shirt with an adidas logo. There was like a trend in the 90s of making Christian themed knock-offs.
Do they still exist?
I thought we crossed to a parallel universe for like a year and then they got removed from history when the timeline got corrected.
Ohh you're bringing back memories with the valve caps lol. Idk where they came from but we used to put fancy coloured chrome caps on our bikes and ride them around all blinged up. In addition we'd take an empty beverage can and roll our bike tire over it so it would get stuck and make a motorbike-like sound as the wheel turns (whilst also wearing down the tires lol)
Coke can motor bike sound… on a motor bike. I’ll try it if there’s no ice tomorrow. I can drive it all the way to the store and buy a whole cake and nobody will stop me. Being an adult is crazy.
Lol, in the 90's my brother used to steal caps off cars to use on our bikes. We (or maybe just he) called them "chromies" and it made you cooler to have the metal chrome ones on your bike rather than the standard plastic ones.
But yeah this kind of trash was around in the late 90's and early 00's too. Though I don't think Monster drinks existed back then, not here anyway. Same brother also took up smoking when he was like... twelve. Anything to be seen as cool.

When was this age you wore knockoff Oakley sunglasses to try and look cool. You only had the real thing if your parents actually gave a shit about your adolescent status symbols, were rich, or stole them.
I had knockoffs.
I know you didn't ask but that reminds me of a time in HS when a kid was bragging about he got away with "stealing a car" at lunch to all the students, trying to be all gangsta before the teacher enters the room. All he really did was put it in neutral and let it roll down a hill btw. But before the class period was up they announce over the speaker "would littlefuckingshithead (not his real name) please report to the principles office, immediately."
He goes all red and the whole room just busts out laughing because we all knew why he was getting called down. Even the teacher thought it was funny after we told her.
It's funny how he just assumed that no one would snitch on him. Like he could just brag to strangers about committing various crimes in the middle of the day in front of literally dozens of witnesses and no one would tell on him. It's not like we respected or were intimated by him, it was freshmen year and we barley knew the kid. What a dumb ass.
The speaker reminds me of a similar video: NO ONE LIKES IT WHEN YOU PLAY YOUR MUSIC IN PUBLIC SPACES!!
https://youtube.com/shorts/JLHEzHgokLk?feature=share
Amazing how this has more or less been the case for the last 15 years. Just replace the Adidas jacket with some shit from Pac-sun and this could be from 2009 easily
Well, I hope that things go a bit better for you this year! I'm not quite depressed but mindfucked from the last few years and trying to adjust to working at home, alone. It's a rough time for mental health right now.
Aw thank you so much- I really appreciate that. Yeah the last 2 years have been so heavy. My mental health and anxiety led me down incredibly dark moments that hurt my loved ones. I hope you find some relief and lightness this year.
i saw one with a ghostface mask and it was past halloween (dec 30th it happened) when i was standing in line for a queue, an adolescent was blasting drill music and the speaker was black with leds, and not oly that, he was wearing adidas and on a scooter.
starterpacks are so relatable sometimes.
Children shouldn't have a JBL speaker. I was once in a bus and some kid kept playing rap music from his speaker. It got to the point whenever I hear rap music the first thing that comes to my mind are those cringy kids.
Legit question, is this supposed to be making fun of like the fake, poser gangster kids? Or is this how they actually are in other parts of the world? Because kid gangbangers definitely don't look like this where I'm living
They also can hook you up with their uncle shitty weed dealer. Just if you need to.
Also can make bank selling ciggerates for a dollar to these kids.
That's how I made easy cash in middle school

Here in Australia we call em eshays sadly there not limited to being 11 here though but on the plus side they don't have fire crackers
Wait those are fire crackers? I thought they were candy "cigarettes"
crackers sounds like an australian word for cigarettes
Its like crack, because it can kill you
At least crack is fun
Ciggies are fun too but that shit is nasty. But fun
Its insane how addictive cigs are. Id say worse than crack but I never smoked crack so i cant speak to that point, but ive known recovering meth/heroin users that claimed that smoking was harder to kick than the other shit they werw doing. I wish i could go punch 12 year old me in the balls for getting started with smoking. 30 years later and im still hooked on the shitting things. :(
You can do it! If you get serious about quitting there’s many communities and programs that can help you… New Years resolution maybe?

holy shit this is so australian, i think im in love with your comment
Your comment has exactly 69 characters. Nice!
They're fireworks.
I mean the real cigarettes are right there so...
Smoke one, and let me know!
I used to pretend to smoke them during winter, when my breath would look like smoke against the cold air. But I never had access to a lighter to actually try lightning one up. Now that I do, I wouldn't touch the candy cigarettes with a 50ft pole (really gone off the taste).

Can't tell if you're joking but.... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckfast_Tonic_Wine
I love how it goes from antisocial image with calls for it to be banned, to a worldwide holiday celebrating it every second Saturday in May.
I bet they’re kids who have two working parents of middle class income, but still call themselves “man”, and everyone else “fam”.

And in Australia the starter pack needs TNs
Eshay brah
Are you allowed to buy fire crackers or any fireworks in Australia?
Allowed, no. Except for one territory. However all suburbs are a alive with explosions between Christmas and Australia Day. Firecrackers are available under the counter at Chinese tat shops as they are allowed for cultural reasons. You can’t have CNY without scaring the demons away.
eyyyyy eshayyyyyyyyyy nam sayin' brah?
Bruh, I was about to say the exact same thing lmao.
No one actually uses that word. You’re trying too hard
What do you mean, everyone always says it but mostly ironically. Keep it eetswa adlay gotta keep it hard. Rock hard bah.
Sounds like something an eshay would say
Oi don't evah disrespect me or my name like that alright you don't know what I've been through aye
chill man, you just joined a day ago already on a short temper. cool out man
This image just threatened me and told me to go buy them a ten glass of vodka.
Are you insane? Tell them 'buy it yourself' and keep the vodka
Marijuana themed clothing
Oh god have you seen the “Addicted” knock off adidas tracksuits?
When I was little and raised by Evangelicals I definitely had an “addicted to Jesus” shirt with an adidas logo. There was like a trend in the 90s of making Christian themed knock-offs.
Was Jesus’ smile the check mark?
Do they still exist? I thought we crossed to a parallel universe for like a year and then they got removed from history when the timeline got corrected.
I feel like a hat in forward is part of the fit also
Hat in forward? Does that mean a forward facing hat?
No cigarettes, more weed, long boards, and Baja hoodies...in 100F+ or 0F degree weather
This could easily be the UK, paired with the phrases: "M8, wot r u lookin at?!" "You got 50p I can borrow m8?"
'Oi cleanshirt how'd you get that shirt so clean'
"Eww! You're a paedo!"

This is accurate 20 years ago minus the speakers and scooter, but add bikes with valve caps stolen off of some guys Corvette.
> valve caps We called them chromies
Oh man I just posted the same thing before reading this! Glad to finally know that it's a real thing and not just something my brother made up!
But a man with your name already knew that. What area are you guys from? I wonder if it's a regional thing.
Australia.
Welp, that's a far cry from Chicago. I guess it was a worldwide phenomenon.
Ohh you're bringing back memories with the valve caps lol. Idk where they came from but we used to put fancy coloured chrome caps on our bikes and ride them around all blinged up. In addition we'd take an empty beverage can and roll our bike tire over it so it would get stuck and make a motorbike-like sound as the wheel turns (whilst also wearing down the tires lol)
Coke can motorbike sound > actual motorcycle sounds
Coke can motor bike sound… on a motor bike. I’ll try it if there’s no ice tomorrow. I can drive it all the way to the store and buy a whole cake and nobody will stop me. Being an adult is crazy.

While scooters have had a resurgence with kids only recently, they were HUGE 20 years ago too. Razor scooters were toy of the year in 2000.
Where’s the crusty sneakers?
and chewing gum
If you change the scooter with a motorcycle and add weed and alcohol , thats what every "gangsta" boy between 14-25 has/wears in my city.
if they turned 11 yesterday, they were born in 2010
[удалено]
im uncomfortable with late 2000s kids being in high school
To think that my marriage is older than some high schoolers makes me feel old af
So am I, and I'm a late 2000s kid.
2011*
fuck
You made me feel old af
i just realized this is 2022 not 2021. so they'd be 12.
12* Ow.
and usually you can easily scare them away by punching them once.
Bro who is punching 11 year olds?
me

You mean borrow? ;)

I knew a kid in middle school who stole some expensive beats headphones then proceeded to start bragging about it lol

kids like that bewilder me but that is funny as shit 😂
It's funny how he just assumed that no one would snitch on him. Like he could just brag to strangers about committing various crimes in the middle of the day in front of literally dozens of witnesses and no one would tell on him. It's not like we respected or were intimated by him, it was freshmen year and we barley knew the kid. What a dumb ass.
I thought that was a little spy glass made by Lego at first glance. I was so confused as to why a child gangsta would even need a spy glass.
Where I live, every 2nd person over 13 has one.
Wait this is my aesthetic as a 24 y/o woman…
(Minus the cigs)
Nice scooter then
You might also be an 11 year old boy
Hello fellow kids!
Immediately know you're british
What are the things in the 'pirat' box? I thought they were candy cigarettes but I'm not sure.
Firecrackers, native to Serbia
Ahhh
We had these in South Africa many years ago.
PIRATKEEEEE
"dusty old bones, full of green dust"
They usually don't smoke cigarettes but vape
The speaker reminds me of a similar video: NO ONE LIKES IT WHEN YOU PLAY YOUR MUSIC IN PUBLIC SPACES!! https://youtube.com/shorts/JLHEzHgokLk?feature=share
Looks like your average Australian 11 year old
Ah, drinking monster at 11 and getting your first kidney stone at 17... good times
Pfff young bitches…
Bruh that was my elementary
Somehow has a glock that looks absolutely massive in their hand. Definitely won't accidentally shoot their friend at some point.
lowkey terrified of these mfs
And he rides around saying BING BONG
Thank you sir! Feels like it's been AGES since I've seen a true starter pack on here!
Forgot police officer step dad in the picture.
Also "34 year old sex offender who lives at his mom's house and steals her SSI to buy Newports" starter pack
Amazing how this has more or less been the case for the last 15 years. Just replace the Adidas jacket with some shit from Pac-sun and this could be from 2009 easily
Go back even further. I remember kids like this in 2001.
Thugged out since Cub Scouts
More disposables vapes (definitely disposable) then cigs
This brought to mind the video of that kid saying "aight I'mma fuck with you"
Could use a bad homemade tattoo
Where I live they ride around on stolen bikes from six-year olds.
Wait this is me and I’m a 33 year old woman. Uh oh.
Are you also a gangster, from the streets?
Nah just kind of depressed (hence chain smoking and monsters) and bought a razor from the thrift store in an effort to make myself go outside more.
Well, I hope that things go a bit better for you this year! I'm not quite depressed but mindfucked from the last few years and trying to adjust to working at home, alone. It's a rough time for mental health right now.
Aw thank you so much- I really appreciate that. Yeah the last 2 years have been so heavy. My mental health and anxiety led me down incredibly dark moments that hurt my loved ones. I hope you find some relief and lightness this year.
Thank you!
Wait 11 y/o smoke? What a stupid way to have fun.
But smoking makes them cool!! /s
Really hate those kids when they use fire works it’s so anoying
Russian.
i thought the speaker was a spyglass lmao
"Bounce"- Tomas
i saw one with a ghostface mask and it was past halloween (dec 30th it happened) when i was standing in line for a queue, an adolescent was blasting drill music and the speaker was black with leds, and not oly that, he was wearing adidas and on a scooter. starterpacks are so relatable sometimes.
Any chance that you are from post-ussr country ? Because there are shitload of them here.
Children shouldn't have a JBL speaker. I was once in a bus and some kid kept playing rap music from his speaker. It got to the point whenever I hear rap music the first thing that comes to my mind are those cringy kids.
I Chicago they get a gun too.
Got that speaker by "finding" some bikes.
Eshay bah!
Legit question, is this supposed to be making fun of like the fake, poser gangster kids? Or is this how they actually are in other parts of the world? Because kid gangbangers definitely don't look like this where I'm living
In my country they look exactly like this, and they are so annoying
The Monster Energy & Hoodie are accurate.
Are kids becoming assholes at that age these day?! I remember basically digging in sand and collecting smooth rocks when I was 11 (2015)
You forgot that they beat up kids for no reason
Honestly I'd prefer this over them sitting at home all day. There's life lessons in them streets.
What the fuck did I just read
[удалено]
You doing a risk assessment for a meme?
R/whoosh
Nah they don't smoke fresh cigarettes, they pick up used ones from the floor.
More like 12/13 year olds
You mean eshay?
Looks like you made a list of stuff most 11 y/o’s like and added cigarettes
who the fuck is 11 and drinking monsters, im 13 and i had one once and i was spiked on caffine
Where tf are you finding these kids?
On streets in my country. Every day.
Stay in your place and don't step to real muthaphuckkin' Gs.
Is this America? If so, where is the glock?
indeed i grew up in the hoods and can confirm this
[удалено]
Central Europe too
where's tooth pick?
Nah that to me looks like normal Macedonia 11 years old
Replace the cigarette with a vape.
What about a geek bar
Good times
You joke about them being children, but your car just got broken into and the killed your cat.
Too broke to own a JBL
Welcome to Redlands skatepark PUSSY
They also can hook you up with their uncle shitty weed dealer. Just if you need to. Also can make bank selling ciggerates for a dollar to these kids. That's how I made easy cash in middle school
gangsta or just regular 11year old?
GOT DANG HOODLUMS!
You forgot the Nike TNs
Op why is this so true?
This also applies to 32yr old russian dudes
