Diddy's shit really exposed how all that big tough guy gangsta rap about slapping hoes and kissing your homies goodnight was made by a bunch of gay black dudes all along. All rap from like 1992 onwards turned out to be The Writer's Barely Disguised Fetish.


They seem to be a generational thing, like where seeing a millenial without a tattoo is an exception rather than the norm. Especially with women. They're less common on zoomers.


That still seems to be a very common thing.


typical Kiwi Farmer but with a Nintendo DS way back when

As a millennial I never really saw the point of getting a tattoo. If you want one, great. Go ahead. But this guy's take on them is fantastic.

Collecting things kind of stopped being cool ages ago, and I'm old enough to watch it happen.

Back when I was Even Less of a Not a Bunny, my brother had the original Kenner Star Wars toys.

Then I remember maybe fifteen years later when The Force Awakens happened and collectables seemed a matter of course, not just things that you bought and were prized later because of things like time, coincidence and rarity. You bought the branded Star Wars thing because it was going to be valuable later, damn it!

Now it doesn't feel like anything is worth collecting, because you really don't know what's going to be worth it, or what will be artificially inflated.

Star Wars kinda stopped being cool a while ago. Franchise is fifty years old by now. Disney era toys end up at the discount aisle of Ollie's.
 
I’m real behind the times but I’ve started warming up to tattoos myself. I have two specific tattoos I want to get and they both are very symbolically important to me.

I think they should be genuinely meaningful or be maximalist. I like a woman who’s covered in tattoos more than one with one frivolous one.

Getting "laid"
It's becoming a stigma that the only people who are still having sex in this way are smelly weirdo geeks doing it at like, super smash Bros tournaments or furry cosplay conventions.

I don't think it's becoming less cool rather the chances of taking someone back to your place from the bar or the club are dramatically smaller for younger people than they were say 15 years ago. It's an unholy amalgamation of the fear for young men of being seen as a pervert for showing sexual attraction to someone and the female expectation that every man they meet will be some turbogooner freak. I think people are still fucking but they just don't brag about it as much.

I think being aloof and not caring about things is becoming uncool. It used to be the case that if you didn't have an informed opinion on something it was because you had other shit going on in your life but with everyone on the internet constantly now if you don't have a strong opinion one way or the other you come off as a smug prick. I've always hated the reddit mentality of "This doesn't impact me specifically so I don't care".

Dog ownership: Taken over by the mentally ill and attn seekers. They pretend their dogs are "service animals" now so they can let them defecate in walmart then throw tantrums when being called out for this. most don't even train them anymore so you will see a fat retard with his gut hanging out of his shirt shout "lucy stop it!" 50 times while the dog ignores him. you just can't get cucked by a dog and be cool.

This is why I side eye service dogs in stores now. If any of those dogs were given to blind people, they'd be screwed.

Even the idea of having sex doesn't seem cool anymore.

I've seen more dating profiles than I'd like doing the whole "vanilla is just for ice cream (iykyk)" thing, and it basically is like, you aren't interesting because you sex different, get over yourself.

This is just american puritanism. "If something feels good, it's bad"

a lot of the of the most dysgenic people on the planet are having lots of gross promiscuous sex.
Hookup culture was a thing pushed by boomer movies that largely got replaced by dating / hook up apps, which just doesn't have the same "cool" appeal as the stereotypical scenarios where you are hitting it off with a stranger in some party or bar and manage to seal the deal. The deal is now sealed before you even meet. In reality most people are serial monogamists ( they date one person exclusively for a few months / years and move on to another) and it was always just relatively small handful of hyper sexual people in the cities having sex with random people every weekend.

On a bizarre note I also feel like paying for prostitutes / other sex types of sex workers is slowly transforming from a pathetic, personal thing done in secret, to a sort of wacky "cool" thing people who have no trouble having sex do ironically or something. Going to the handjob parlor in Japan and live streaming it because of how crazy it is. "bro I can't believe you actually went!" instead of "wtf this guys a pervert"

Incels hate to acknowledge this but yeah I agree, the idea of hooking up with someone random seemed more obtainable some years ago but I think that's mainly due to it being in so many movies and shows.

There's been a recent uptick of asian massage parlours that are just open brothels they don't even try to hide it, they've always been around but they at least had the decency to have some plausible deniability.
 
I always hated the word SWAG.

it was a rehash of the Victorian era swagger (look up the mysteries of London and mr winchester/Chichester, the counterfeit bank note guy who walks into a gambling parlor in a specific chapter), but made turbo gay.
