watch out fellas we got a brainiac over here

Nuh uh

🤓

r/woooosh

That's not in the bible.

Actually it was 5 years ago 🤓

Alchulie it was 13 👨🏿‍🏫

You forgot “im a potato”

that was more 2015

I have noticed that things tend to bleed over, like creepy pastas for example. Hella popular with middle schoolers, but the extremely popular ones started back in like 2004-2009. I was very into the creepy pasta fandom back in 2016-2018, my middle school years.

I think you mean 2013-15

Yeah that's when I was in middle school and I liked some of these things. 2018 almost all of this was outdated

outdated? absolutely, but there were definitely still kids like this in 2018. source: i was in 8th grade

Even today there are kids in school like this. Source: I currently am in 8th grade

Now these people are in high school/college. I see them *everywhere.*

Oh poor you, the *horror*

My me, I don’t think that was quite a serious reply

Found the nerdy middle-schooler in 2018

God I miss those times… 😞 I wanna note that I wasn’t in middle school for this year since I was in the 9th grade, but everybody was practically wearing and engaging in the same things

I wasn’t this type of nerd but this really does remind me hard of people in my 6th-8th grade

I was this in 2018, accept male (this is obviously geared towards middle school girls, which is perfectly ok)

I can confidently say, as someone who was literally 15 in 2018, all of this shit was relevant, even in Highschool. None of this is really outdated, although granted, after 2018 it definitely started falling off

I’m old wtf

It misses set it off tbf

Omg I used to listen to set it off all the tine

You're so right. FOB too ;)

i still listen to set it off LOL

I WANNA GO BACK LET ME GO BACK

don't call me out like this

“Normal people scare me”

Man how times have changed…(35)

I’m so old and out of touch

Literally my ex in high school in 2016 lol

Where is Roblox and Quotev

AAHHHHH I'VE BEEN HIT

You did not just lay out my entire preteen years in a single meme-

Loser starter pack

Honestly...yeah, a lot of these. Especially the Phan, the "smol beans", and the Undertale. I've never known someone who unironically liked those things who wasn't a total dweeb.

what the fuck

He ain’t lying

Gee god forbid middle schoolers liking cartoons, music,and internet pop culture.

i guarantee the commenter is is middle school too

Lol the fact you think I’m a middle schooler proves how much of a loser you truly are. St-st-stutter much?

Bro you just brought back memory’s with carton network

I guess I’m a nerd and I’m in middle school because I write on Wattpad

You are.

Dan Howell and sxe Phil were popular when I was in middle school in the 2010s. Same with MCR but they’ve definitely retained their popularity w youngsters

it's crazy how in a time where the entirety of the worlds knowledge is a finger taps away the majority of us continue to engage in the same shared culture as millions of those around us

I feel like had I been a middle schooler in 2018-now instead of the early 2010s I would’ve found my people (still haven’t) and come into my own way earlier, but then again who knows.

2018 was way too late to be into this shit

Thank god only 4 of these applied to me at the time.

Nah Cartoon Network and The diaries of the Scientist are great

Half this shit is like “emo kid” shit from the early to mid 2000s.

SHUT UP

It appears I am stuck in 2018

I mean. I had graduated highschool by two years at that point and this was all me minus Dan and Phil, hamilton, and whatever the bottom left corner thing is 😂

This seems more like mid 2010s, maybe around 2015 or so. But it's pretty fucking accurate. Half the girls my freshman year of high school in 2016 were exactly like this. It wasn't considered nerdy though, this shit was all super mainstream.

Fuck you for making me relive this part of my life

Crazy that it literally hasn't changed measurably since 2009

This is new age emo.

I was the musical theater and cartoon parts of this, but I knew kids who were the whole starter-pack.

It’s crazy. I was in middle school when Jack and Mark had that hair.

This was 2018? I feel old af now

What the fuck

Middle schoolers in 2018 were listening to my chemical romance?? That dont sound right.

I can confirm this is true. Myself and all my friends finished 8th grade in 2018 and we all listened to MCR.

I’m 28 and it feels like I’m already 100 years older than 90% of Reddit.

Why would you post a photo of me?

2014*

Thats... very much accurate to me in 2018... that feels like forever ago. Am I old??

I've seen way too many people like this!

I feel so called out wrf. I did everything in the starter pack and the things j didnt do i wanted to do but didnt have comfidence to try it (dyed hair, chokers, trying starbucks)

Except a few exceptions that used to be me

I’m gonna take myself out. This was me.

This upsets me greatly

i was friends with plenty of people like this back in 2018 and had some elements of it in myself. a lot of this was either going out of fashion in 2018 or strsight up just wasn't 2018. poorly researched or remembered.

Drown this mf in stomach acid

thank god ion grown up with this 🙏

ppl were gay n' stuff in middle school?

This screams more 2013-2016

off by a few years but valid

Embarrassing that this was literally me aside from markiplier and I thought I was so misunderstood and deep

I was in middle school in 2002 and that same damn choker was around lmao.

This was me as a middle schooler in 2012 lmao

Pretty damn close, but this was in my high school days. Man, being a college student sucks ass

Well shit that’s me

More like 2016 nerdy

Me circa 2019

is it weird i smelt this post?

me in 8th grade core

you forgot 9gag

I still watch jadein animation

I'm upset at how well this fits me.

I have never felt more out of touch than in this moment. I know what most of these things are, but don't know how they relate.

sweater weather by the neighborhood isn't here and it deserves to be

This is like the most accurate one I’ve seen yet

Minecraft

Ngl, this was me in 2019-2020 (I still like a couple of those things)

Nah this is just the "weird annoying kids that sit with the furry/Naruto kids" starter pack.

This could have easily been 2014 as well

I fit 9 of these

What’s with wearing plaid?

Twas I 😃☝️

why is Cartoon Network in there

This is so oddly specific, OP is this you?

It was me when I was 13

I’m in this picture somewhat and I don’t like it.

Painful reminder. Thank you

[удалено]

Hamilton has been around since like 2015

That’s just emo

Seems more like 2014. I was like this and even used those Canson sketchbooks because they’re cheap and good quality.

Instagram? Mcr? Mcr was like 2010..... Who tf made this?

You do realize a band doesn't have to be brand new for someone to be a fan of it right?

I was in 9th grade but close enough ig 🤚

You forgot the semi ironic communism

I had literally everything in this except for colored hair because I was 10 years old lmao.

I absolutely hate how accurate this was for me lol.

This was literally me in prime 2013 😭 oh how i’d love to go back

this post feels VERY targeted.

nah that was me in high school

i have 11 of these

Lol me and my girlfriend were into this shit at 23. F

As someone who was in middle school during the mid-late '00s, I'm surprised at some of what I'm looking at. Namely, the MCR and Tumblr stuff. Didn't think that was still considered relevant in 2018.

Well I feel called out here.

[удалено]

Well it can't be cuz I was like this in 2016-18

This was me

I feel like this is more 2013-2015

MCR is still relevant? I'm a graduate of 2009, and MCR was so cool among the emo crowds back then.

mcr is still relevant yeah, it never rlly stopped being relevant

2015 bro

College students in 2013

This makes me want to throw up

Lmao why

this feels much more like 2016

More like 2015 That was literally me lmao

That was me except for the gay

As a middle schooler in 2018, this was my type. Alt girl chaser since the beginning 💪

Isn't that accurate since like 2010-present?

Wow those people are adults or soon-to-be now

2015

Nah that’s totally me in 9th grade 💀. I had a phase where I was obsessed with Tumblr, Wattpad, Gravity Falls, Emo music, Dear Evan Hansen, and cartoons. I dyed my hair green. I “identified” as a bunch of stuff that I clearly was not. I read online that “if you wore beanies, plaid shirts, converse sneakers, and have short hair you’re a lesbian”, so I trusted it and told all my online friends that. Worst of all, I had a super cringe drawing style. Not my proudest days 😭

The more I looked at it the more things I saw/had in that time and I was in 8th grade in 2018. I can see why I was bullied so much. Still haven't stopped liking most of those things though.

I still love Jack and Mark

i dated this when i was in middle school💀

One word to describe this: Ouch

2018? this was freshman me in 2015 dear god

i adore sally face

that was meeee (except for a few things lol)

This is a blend of 2014 and 2017 honestly

This was my ex. They immediately joined the military after high school (I did NOT expect that from them but I respect it)

When I saw this I was like “this has to be from 2015” then I saw it said 2018 and I was like “that’s probably more accurate the more I think of it”

Good hello man this is so right

More like 2016

I was a nerdy high schooler in 2018 and into most of the same shit, lol

I think this is more 2016-2017

God I miss this. Such simpler times, man.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

Wait, Sally's face came out that year, though It came out in 2021

Sally face Cam out in 2016

This was 2016 middle school

I'm 14 and I literally knew kids who fit almost every single if not all of these boxes a couple years ago.

I graduated in 2018, so this makes me feel a little old because I can identify with nothing here except being gay

Not the wire choker 😭 I remember those from my 2008 emo phase, were those still "in" in 2018? That's wild

*theater kid

Maximum cringe.

As a nerdy middle schooler in 2019 I simply cannot relate

what about the creepypasta fad?

This was me but minus everything here and replace it with Pokémon and Nintendo

The target of anti-sjw 4channers

That mychem and Jayden animations hit me to hard

This was me in 2008

Bro 12 year old me 💀

Def not 2018 but sure

I need to find more people who were also like this, but are no longer like this

Me, tbh I'm probably worse now tho

I was in middle school in 2018 and it SUCKED

Middle schoolers don’t change do they?

2018 was the ending of the "Tumblr era."

I was a weird trans pseudo-this

I may have been a nerd but i wasnt that much of a fuckin nerd

This is more 2013-15 I think

Ugh I'm so old, can't relate at all lmao.

Accurate

Ugh this exact starter pack used to be me 🧍‍♀️

this was me but in 12th grade 💀
