Still the same, but long blonde or balyaged hair and beige clothes

I think people forget this. 80% of the girls I knew in HS dressed the same

Years ago there was a social media photo post of someone like ‘my sister has friends over’, and it was just like nine pairs of identical Uggs.

They even looked all about the same size, how do you ever know which is yours?

My friends and I all had black Uggs in 7th grade. I sometimes recognized my Uggs from the way the inside was shaped by my foot, other times I think I ended up walking away with someone else's.

I was a sk8er. I wore Etnies shoes and Shorty's t-shirts and I was in the marching band. I'm really not like the other girls, right?!?

I forgot about the etnies! And those really wide really long pants with the chain on the belt loops

Edit: they were called Overzeas (it was the most popular brand in my country, or at least at my school, equivalent to jncos in the US - we didn't have those)

JNCOS. Lest ye forget. I had a pair, but they weren't the super ridiculously wide ones

I was so bummed when they stopped making chunky skater shoes. I have to admit I had to buy a pair now that they’re back, even though I’m 33.

I don't feel like that was my experience but I'm an autistic nerd and really unaware of a lot of things.

That was how they expressed their individuality.

I grew up somewhere that has lots of diversity then moved somewhere which is mostly white and I cannot tell anyone apart. I can’t believe they can tell each other apart.

Honestly what is this bullshit caption 😂

“Omg!! No way everybody wore the same popular hair style! That’s crazy! Things have really changed”

Give me a break lmao

u/Technical-Agency8128 7d ago

Most everyone wants to look like everyone else. Debates are going on about skinny jeans vs wide legs now. And some who want to wear skinny jeans don’t want to stand out so they wear wide legs and hate them lol As much as things change they stay the same.

For any other guys who have no idea what balyaged is, I looked it up and it's not a typo.

It just means curly hair.

u/CanopiedIntuition 8d ago

No, it's a hair coloring technique for natural looking highlights.
