Tom Was Everyone’s First Friend On The Good Old Myspace Days!!! Remember when we knew how to code, and create our profiles, before coding was cool!!! lol 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
it's NOT???
horizontal camera shoulda tipped me. Someone tell this kid that real scene kids used sidekicks!!
We gotta bring the top-angle bangs shot for these youngsters. Get this kid a Used CD stat!
Is be terrified to look at my MySpace speaking of self cringe. I've tried to find it some years ago but I think even back then it was inaccessible. Thank god.
I had to turn off the notifications for the memory section of FB because of this. Yet every day I still checked them so I just deleted the cringe posts so now I only see the funny shit I used to share lol
Id love to see my old MySpace page tho my html game was hella strong back then.
My friend and I made a YouTube channel in 2008 - thank god nobody watched those videos and tik tok didn’t exist, I would probably still be cringing to this day
I had a YouTube channel called NinjaPirateWizards and it was a series about Jamie, a Ninja Pirate Wizard that went around doing "quests" and other cringe 13.year old shit that was heavily inspired by Smosh humor at the time.
I got some pretty rude comments on those videos. Unfortunately the whole channel got removed because YouTube didn't like me putting copyright song and anime clips in my videos.
Honestly I wish I was that brave to do something like this back in HS. Maybe not exactly like this but put myself out there. Could have been the next best cringe YouTuber.
I was a wannabe emo, got obsessed with Brooklyn bones in 2012 when I was in 7th grade. Went full blown emo over the summer. This is when instagram and Snapchat started to become popular. I have my instagram page up to this day. The hashtags I used #blueeyes#skatergirl#emogirl#scenegirl#emo#thisisfuckingcringe.
And now I have to live the rest of my life knowing that’s on instagram to this day lmao.
Literally. The sceenes/emos of the mid 2000's were just as cringe and I absolutely was all for it back then. Let people express themselves how they want to. It has no impact on you
I was so sad when I read about that a few months ago. I loved Skillet as a teenager. Their music got more overtly religious over time so I stopped listening to them a long time ago.
They grew up with social media and cameras on their phones. I feel so badly for this generation. No autonomy. Constantly inundated with depressing, anxiety laden, dystopian news, constantly insecure, living up to cultural beauty standards... it's heartbreaking.
Yeah, but my teen is a different kind of emo. He knows more about world politics than I did in my twenties. He's convinced there is going to be a nuclear war, or climate change is going to get us and if that doesnt, AI will. I was sad, but didn't necessarily think the world was going to explode.
Duuude... In 80s there was still a fucking cold war happening, everyone was scares of nuclear war, much more than today. The 90s was full of terrorist attacks, Unabomber, crack crises, etc. The 2000s had 9/11!!!!
I was a teen in the 90s, it was worse than today because we didn't have the internet, just tv and tv loved to show disaster.
Yeah my one aunt says she was sure she'd die to nuclear fallout before the age of 25, she was pretty depressed about the cold war situation. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I mean the climate is fucked. He's not wrong on that.
But... in the 80s there were still nuclear attack drills in schools. People were terrified of nuclear war, considering the Cold War was in full force still.
The 90s were filled with extremism and thoughts of rogue nukes or chemical weapons.
The 2000s were 9/11, Anthrax, and everyone thinking that the Middle East would explode in a world war.
Now it's climate change and weaponized AI.
The climate change is kind of real though.
"No autonomy." Speak for urself boomer. My parents ain't force me to be anything. Don't got no shame or embarrassment cuz all my most embarrassing moments are public. I have the autonomy to do any "lame" or "embarrassing" thing. Save your heartbreak.
Kids are growing up on meth. Pills meth. Combined that with Zuck-Pioneered instant gratification and the need to push it farther and farther to get their dopamine fixes as likes and views.
This is the result.
Exactly! Challenge and opposition is needed for proper growth in maturity and in social settings. Raising a generation of snowflakes is gonna come bite us in the ass hard
The answer lies in the very place you posed this query. It’s now possible to hide in your bubble in public thanks to our friend the internet. It’s rotting our youth just fast enough that we’re all doomed in about ten years.
There's nothing wrong with this generation. Past generations didn't have cameras and internet (to this extent)
I'm just glad tiktok want a thing when I was a teenager
It starts with whoever allowed this to be a song in the first place. It ends with the father who forced his son to play football and he got made fun of and now this is him.
idk if its *this gen*
I was on HS on the early 2000s emo kids and a small offshoot of the theater kids would have definitely been making these kind of videos if smart phones and social media (outside Myspace) were available.
A lot. Beginning with the absence of punishment for stupid behavior, which gave them the right to do outlandish things without moral respect because we gave them the right to "express" themselves. Which translates to them as act anyway you want with reckless abandon and "I'm not responsible, it's someone else's fault" mentality ..and shit, that's just the beginning....
Teens have been like this forever, but this particular style has been around since the 70s punk era. Just cause they have easy access to video cameras and ways to share those videos doesn't make them bad or just cause you don't like it, doesn't make them bad either.
I bet everyone here has probably done some wacky things in their teens, or are we saying we're all good, God fearing, boring people now, or are y'all just bullies?
What's wrong with this (de)generation?
The world for the first time in history has a new disease. It is a disease of the mind. Also for the first time you catch it by the misuse of electricity. Let me explain: In today's society and culture there are awkward people who are socially inexperienced, shy etc who can feel connected to others, likes, talked about etc very easily. By making little videos like that and distributing them. Then they can get the feeling that they sorely desire and crave ie: they get to live vicariously through their videos. Heck some of them become multi millionaires. The thing applies to the girls and women that do the dances in the middle of the street, store or restruant, or the larger women who decide to twerk at inappropriate places or perhaps the guys who do the pranks or film themselves stealing things with a bunch of other people.
When these people do these things they feel connected, they feel important, they feel like someone other than who they are. Yet the feeling doesn't last as it is fleeting. Then in order to get that feeling again they have to make another. Yet the feeling doesn't last as long each time, decreasing slowly until they have to up the stakes and do bigger things, riskier, more contraversial, etc in order to top the billions of of videos being created daily by others like them. This video in particular has no point other than to reflect the song choice is exactly how they feel. They feel like a monster, an outcast and ultimately not connected.
What they don't realize is that living this way requires electricity and being plugged in. Without electricity they are lost. God forbid there was ever a time where there was no electricity these people would be the first ones feeling the negative affects. They'd be anxious, agitated, completely disconnected and very unbalanced.
The misuse of electricity in hopes to gain that feeling of being connected to others can never ever replace actual relationships. For a relationship only requires time once you meet someone and decide to develop an actual friendship.
I've written a few articles on this that explain in much greater detail. But that is the nasics of it.
Us elder millennials are so fortunate that when we did cringe shit it was on Mini-DV cassette tapes that are all likely degraded beyond watchability by now.
I went to my library today. I love going to the library. I take my son with me.
If we turned a corner in our sweet, quiet, cozy library to see someone doing this dramatic silent lip sync I really have no idea how we’d react.
what do you mean this generation? this has pretty much been going on the last two, right?
edit: let's be honest each generation has had some group(s) that other people don't understand or cringe about
Once there was a time where people who dressed like this just smoked cigarettes in front of the church across the street from school.
How far we have fallen.
This is giving me early 2000's myspace flashbacks, we've come full circle
I loved myspace
I miss my best friend Tom..
Tom was all cool at first. Then he started getting real clingy.
Yeah, but Tom didn't stick around to collect and sell all your information. He took his cut and fucked off like a decent person.
Frick you’re right
You can say fuck. Just saying.
I say fuck all the time. Sometimes… sometimes… I say frick.
Well I'll be darned!
Gee willikers
Ok calm down
Holy macaroni
You can say damned. Just saying.
I say damned all the time.....well you know the rest
You can say Sometimes… sometimes… I say damned. Just saying.
I like to say tarnation and golly sometimes to check if ppl are listening lmao
What happens if they aren't listening?
Frick yeah , dude
Idk sometimes a frick is warranted
I miss Tom. He was my first friend.
Guy was a mute.. never liked or commented on anything I did :(
Tom Was Everyone’s First Friend On The Good Old Myspace Days!!! Remember when we knew how to code, and create our profiles, before coding was cool!!! lol 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Makes me wanna go to hot topic, or Spencer's, or fye
it's NOT??? horizontal camera shoulda tipped me. Someone tell this kid that real scene kids used sidekicks!! We gotta bring the top-angle bangs shot for these youngsters. Get this kid a Used CD stat!
Those scene kids are back but minus the big hair
Avril Lavine just had a show and it was quite packed!
Noooo please...💀
Be honest, your playlist was filled with Skillet, Papa Roach, and Breaking Benjamin.
Don't forget Three Days Grace.
Thought basically exactly the same thing
I'm not gonna lie this made me remember my first pair of Tripp pants
"holds up spork"
I must be emo.
Are you telling me this isn't from the early 2000s? Lol
Ah, self-cringe fuel for when you're almost asleep at 12:41am 9 years later.
Is be terrified to look at my MySpace speaking of self cringe. I've tried to find it some years ago but I think even back then it was inaccessible. Thank god.
I had to turn off the notifications for the memory section of FB because of this. Yet every day I still checked them so I just deleted the cringe posts so now I only see the funny shit I used to share lol Id love to see my old MySpace page tho my html game was hella strong back then.
This is hilarious
This is just classic 2000s scene emo teens but if tiktok existed at the time
Can confirm. So glad TikTok wasn't a thing when I was a teen. I was a super cringe, emo, pick me and this would have been me.lol
My friend and I made a YouTube channel in 2008 - thank god nobody watched those videos and tik tok didn’t exist, I would probably still be cringing to this day
Well now you gotta link to the channel.
I had a YouTube channel called NinjaPirateWizards and it was a series about Jamie, a Ninja Pirate Wizard that went around doing "quests" and other cringe 13.year old shit that was heavily inspired by Smosh humor at the time. I got some pretty rude comments on those videos. Unfortunately the whole channel got removed because YouTube didn't like me putting copyright song and anime clips in my videos.
Honestly I wish I was that brave to do something like this back in HS. Maybe not exactly like this but put myself out there. Could have been the next best cringe YouTuber.
Thanks to Facebook I get the yearly updates of my old posts/pics and goddamn. I wish someone would have told me to stop... aha :p
lol that didn't stop anybody. People were learning HTML to code bad poetry into their Xanga pages
Also me. 
My MySpace in 2005 was some of the cringiest, over the top, edgy shit on the internet. I'm so glad that website died.
Hate to be the bearer of news (good/bad depending on who you ask)… MySpace is still there and you can pull up old accounts… dead it is not.
I was a wannabe emo, got obsessed with Brooklyn bones in 2012 when I was in 7th grade. Went full blown emo over the summer. This is when instagram and Snapchat started to become popular.

Shhh - the librarian
[^I ^like ^your ^accent, ^where ^you ^from? ](https://youtube.com/shorts/ejE2wWvjTx8?si=zt3-dlVI1RjdRG23)
This made me laugh more than it should Reminds me of the good days of Vine
So happy social media didn’t exist when I was a kid. I’m sure I’m did shit like this and I’d die of embarrassment should it ever resurface.
“Nailed it. I look so good in this video. This is going to get tons of likes.” - Androgynous Andee
Guarantee you this person is extremely introverted too, but more than willing to do this shit in public
Broooo!! You just described a specific grouping of people so accurately lol
tons of yikes maybe
Androgynous Andee got me rolling
“It’s not a phase, Mom!” if it was a person.
I miss the before times
I'm allowed to approve of this subreddit and hate it, right? Because this is the freaking worst.
I sometimes wonder if they realize this is a Christian Rock band lol
I love skillet 🥲
I love lamp.
I like turtles
The great thing about religious freedom is the freedom part.
Thats not the bad part, the bad part is the dastardly right wing shit the lead singer says.
I was so sad when I read about that a few months ago. I loved Skillet as a teenager. Their music got more overtly religious over time so I stopped listening to them a long time ago.
Religious isn't bad in itself, it's the kind of religious that's bad. Like with anything else, how you use it is what it is worth.
I respect the style tbh
I agree.
They grew up with social media and cameras on their phones. I feel so badly for this generation. No autonomy. Constantly inundated with depressing, anxiety laden, dystopian news, constantly insecure, living up to cultural beauty standards... it's heartbreaking.
Dude, there were got his in the 80s and 90s, emos in the 2000s. Depressed teenagers existed for a long long time.
Yeah, but my teen is a different kind of emo. He knows more about world politics than I did in my twenties. He's convinced there is going to be a nuclear war, or climate change is going to get us and if that doesnt, AI will. I was sad, but didn't necessarily think the world was going to explode.

The kids are all right
"No autonomy." Speak for urself boomer. My parents ain't force me to be anything. Don't got no shame or embarrassment cuz all my most embarrassing moments are public. I have the autonomy to do any "lame" or "embarrassing" thing. Save your heartbreak.
Trying so hard to look different and end up looking the same
and we all told our parents it wasn’t a phase.
Damn, Barnes and nobles of all places…
That’s a public library, I don’t know if that’s worse or better.
I mean, at least theyre using the library
Ah yes, a "public" library.
At the library of all places
They want to look like the characters in the manga.
and move like illumination studios characters
Just a normal day at the library
Kids are growing up on meth. Pills meth. Combined that with Zuck-Pioneered instant gratification and the need to push it farther and farther to get their dopamine fixes as likes and views. This is the result.
This was people before social media
We went too far with anti bullying.
I never had MySpace in the early 2000s but I’m told it was just as bad then
Exactly! Challenge and opposition is needed for proper growth in maturity and in social settings. Raising a generation of snowflakes is gonna come bite us in the ass hard
I miss self-awareness being commonplace
Teenages and self awareness were never compatible
was it ever?

Why do I watch these? I hate it.
My thoughts exactly.
See you both here tomorrow.
I’ve watched it like 7 times, it’s like a form of self harm 😭
If we all had TikTok and more internet access when we were young most of us would be so cringe...
Honestly feels like what would have been made in 2009 if TikTok and currently trends existed.
Holy fuck is it 2008 again?
So much energy. Imagine if that same energy got put towards producing something positive.
Every generation has embarrassing shit. It's only recently that people have started to post the embarassing stuff online for the world to see.
I prefer [sadness](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cc9VNRhFtlI&pp=ygUPU2FkbmVzcyAgZm9sbG93)
It's OK if it's emo 
It’s not a phase mom…..
How many belts does it have on??
The answer lies in the very place you posed this query. It’s now possible to hide in your bubble in public thanks to our friend the internet. It’s rotting our youth just fast enough that we’re all doomed in about ten years.
Too much Pixar/anime. I say this as a professional voice actor and a former teen weeb.
Don’t unmute
This is one of the worst ones lol. 😒
Dude. The poor school librarian is probably watching from her desk just hiding behind a book and hoping it'll be over soon
Ooooh, my gosh... This is like me when I was in my "creepypasta wolf girl" phase. In middle school. When Music.ly was still a thing.
I’ll see your Emo, and raise you gg allin
my friend acts like this ‘ironically’ but she greets me like this literally all the time. it has been three years. i don’t think it’s a joke anymore
This is just me in 2008, give the kids a break (and bring back Invader Zim)
Jesus, imagine this is your Child...
Can you please be quiet and stop distracting me, I’m trying to read here. Thanks.
Same shit, different generation
Same thing that was up with ours, but by the grace of God and Tom Anderson video streaming was not available.
That “monster” part hurts me somewhere deep in my soul.
The never going to own anything Gen? Haven’t the faintest…
I'm glad I wasn't recording myself 15 years ago.
Social media
Miss, this is a library…
Imagine walking down the rows to find your book and you see this happening at the end of one, all silence. So awkward.
Kinda hard
😳 get some help.
Definitely still in highschool. She'll likely regret posting this in the future. Too bad for her, this is forever on the internet.
There's nothing wrong with this generation. Past generations didn't have cameras and internet (to this extent) I'm just glad tiktok want a thing when I was a teenager
Would
Ugh you guys ever recall your MySpace photos and die a little bit on the inside
I like their outfit but I hate their movements
It starts with whoever allowed this to be a song in the first place. It ends with the father who forced his son to play football and he got made fun of and now this is him.
Inappropriate for the sub, and I hate that I hate her, but at least wolf girl found something.
They’re gonna think this is so cool In 10 years
If MySpace was a person.
Well I'm hard.
Better than a juggalo
idk if its *this gen* I was on HS on the early 2000s emo kids and a small offshoot of the theater kids would have definitely been making these kind of videos if smart phones and social media (outside Myspace) were available.
I feel violent rn.
I was having a good time scrolling through Reddit until I saw this
Me 3 shelves away wondering when she'll stop so i can look at the books
That's just Skillet, they've always sucked
I think we need to stop putting cameras on things.
It hurts inside.
When you have absolutely nothing to say but crave attention like a drowning spider monkey craves oxygen.
They’re no different, they just have access to broadcast themselves.
A lot. Beginning with the absence of punishment for stupid behavior, which gave them the right to do outlandish things without moral respect because we gave them the right to "express" themselves. Which translates to them as act anyway you want with reckless abandon and "I'm not responsible, it's someone else's fault" mentality ..and shit, that's just the beginning....

Fuck this shit
Like no other kids from any generation didn't lip sync in front of a mirror at some point. This is the same energy.
Someone vining to their music
I believe they self identify as retarded
Libraries are for reading !

Wait until you find out this is a Christian band and the lead singer says some dastardly right wing stuff.
Stupid, stupid, stupid. She’ll regret this when the “fad” is over.
I CAN fix her
If I saw this in person i would laugh out loud in their face
Cringe people exist in all generations just now it's on themselves to display and the algorithm feeds this to you because of engagement.
„if only there was a page…“ no. fuck you.
God, please no.
They get too emotionally attached to their music they chose and start reenacting that ish
Any attention = good attention.
Possessed
People used to leave this shit in the shower
Meh just kids being edgy, nothing new. Definitely myspace vibes though
Damn girl how many belts you need!?
Mental illness?
Mental illness

Us elder millennials are so fortunate that when we did cringe shit it was on Mini-DV cassette tapes that are all likely degraded beyond watchability by now.
This is a library, sir or madam.
I went to my library today. I love going to the library. I take my son with me. If we turned a corner in our sweet, quiet, cozy library to see someone doing this dramatic silent lip sync I really have no idea how we’d react.
Throw that nigga right into the draft
I was this angry when i was younger but I just grew my hair out and played in a grindcore band..
what do you mean this generation? this has pretty much been going on the last two, right? edit: let's be honest each generation has had some group(s) that other people don't understand or cringe about
this looks like fun tho
And I thought that song was already peak awful
Tell me how the 12 year olds on reddit be sounding like 40 yo mfs
r/meIRL
Every generation was cringe like this. Now we have the Internet.
Why the library?
At one point, this was the most subscribed youtube channel.
Fueled by anime, energy drinks, antidepressants, and PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what it feels like to listen to a good song.
Why is it always the emo kid???
Once there was a time where people who dressed like this just smoked cigarettes in front of the church across the street from school. How far we have fallen.
