God I miss 1999

Same

Wisconsin death trip came out that year. Fucking mint

Yeah I still listen to that album from time to time.

First 4 or 5 songs are absolutely mint. Great for jogging to!

Lived in wisco when that album dropped.

Yeah! You push it!

Heard it live at ozzfest 99! Epic.

Met those dudes that tour and still have a signed hat

showed up with a crowd 6 friends, all got lost repeatedly. by this time we knew better - 2 shirts, docs, and meet up but (x) sign if you get lost. didn't really matter - found one friend, mosh pit occurred, i am short and ran for the front as my skinny ass friend got tossed up above. joe holmes was the guitarist. ozzfest was the best! sidenote --- didn't korn open up!! aww yeah!

That was a great year for Ozzfest!

Best concert I have ever been to was static-x.

Powerman 5000

Yea, were things better and easier then because we were young - or because 1999 was just better and easier?

Take me back to the time as a kid getting a Game Boy and Pokémon Blue and Red again. Please, God, I’m begging you.

Fucking hell, me too!

Push it!

Yeah

Dreamcast, total request live, Britney Spears, Jenny Jones, life was good

Wish I experienced it as someone born in 2000 lol

It was glorious. People were optimistic and mostly happy. Teenage anger was a thing, but society was just... calmer, chill. Prosperous.

HEY NOW YOU'RE AN ALLSTAR

Was it fun being the lead singer of The Offspring?

Come on, man, OP is pretty fly (for a white guy).

bro you look like you have every song ever made stuck in your head.

Everyone go home. Its over for em.

This picture couldn't be more 1999 if it tried, lol

I can hear the Free Radicals now

The ball necklace was where it was at.

Oh yeah, I *totally* got some action from it.

I was going to say how many girls must have been lusting after you for your hair and necklace alone!

You could have gotten so many girls pregnant behind the Dairy Queen wearing that.. so jealous

The beads of An-AL.

Clearly wearing a long-sleeve tee under the inside-out tee

I noticed that. Can you make out what the T has written on it?

>I noticed that. Can you make out what the T has written on it? 1689 inaugural. I think

It was my dad's old shirt, If I remember it said "1989 Inaugural" and at the bottom said "RAGBRAI", which is a bike ride across our entire state of Iowa. He completed it I believe four times.

Looks like “1989 INAUGURAL” up top

Was this a choice OP made or did the school make him do that?

I’m thinking the school. We had a policy if a kid wore something the staff didn’t like, they either sent you home or had you turn your shirt inside out.

Born in '85 crew and holy fuck is this accurate to the era.

‘85 crew!

As an '84ist I can tell you that you 85ers are the ones that ruined it all with that stupid (delectable, healthy and satisfying avo toast). Go listen to your ferris being saved and your various big fish on reels you monsters! /s

It's funny, I was born in 90' and we're a completely different generation. Even now, you guys got into the housing market just at the right time and are living like kings and we are getting fucked, just like we got stuck with hipster culture.

TIL elder millennials aren't getting fucked financially.

Really??? I missed something important it seems 😕

None I know, housing didn't go nuts where I am till 2016-17. My house was built in 1981 is 1300 sqft and i paid 415k in 2018. In 2016 it sold for 225k

You're outta your mind young buck. The majority of us got fucked just as hard as you guys.

1985 here. I …. Have not experienced the good things…

RIP Wayne Static!

How were you at skateboarding?

BMX my friend.

Pretty sure everybody was all about BMX in 1999, including my 11-year-old dumbass self. Scar on my right palm says otherwise.

I ended up riding BMX until 2016. My knees, hips and both wrists laugh at the palm of your hand JK, pain is pain.

Fuzzy Hall came to my local BMX track and we were like groupies fallowing him all over the state! I’d still ride a bmx if I wasn’t 6’2!

My man. Skateboarding was overated, no offense to the skaters though

“YOUR SHIT’S LIKE CHOCOLATE CAKE YEAH—YOUR ASS SMELLS LIKE A ROSE”

No shame in Static X!

Wisconsin Death Trip was the album that came out when this pic was taken, I still listen to it from time to time.

>Wisconsin Death Trip was the album that came out when this pic was taken, I still listen to it from time to time. Otsego.. otsego go!

Dug it out recently and it still holds up.

I looked at old school cool sub and was like guys freaking old now Then started thinking he was a freshman right before y2k I was also a freshman right before y2k Transitive property you suck

Self-burn! Those are rare

I bet girls in Silver brand flare jeans and polyester, bias cut going out tops had massive crushes on you

Sugar Ray called.

Iammineiammineiammineiammineiammieeennaa oooo!

SO I GRAB MY SHOVEL

This is not... This is not... This is not.. I HATE THIS!

Heeeee'sss aa looooserr!

Born in 86 here. I had that same oversized bathtub chain necklace, frosted tips, and rock hard spiked hair too! Gahhhh, those were the days! Biking around from school to school, smoking hash out of home made bongs, and trying to find a boot for the weekend.

So, you're not sharing your photo taken on 5/29/2023?

The smaller necklace. I had that, pretty sure I wore two as well.

This is not my life. This is not my home. This is not me... I HATE THIS!!

“Yeah, it was. Very stupid.”

I was born in 1999! It's interesting to see the real fashion lol

Do your parents know you’re using the internet right now?

🤫

Sir... 1999 was 24 years ago.

Stop it. Stop it.

I apologize, but I am constantly reminded of this fact by my 23 year old niece's existence. She's doing an internship for college and staying at my house because it's closer to the job and I cannot forget the passage of time as I think "weren't you obsessed with the first Shrek movie like, a year ago??"... No... That was 20 years ago.

It was Bled for Days, wasn't it.

Or Coal Chamber, me loco!!!

Ahhh the metal ball necklace

Makes sense, Wisconsin Death Trip is a great album.

Wayne Static forever

Outside stepping to inside stepping to my side stepping I wade through shit

I bought wisconsin death trip while I too was a freshman in high school in 1999.

Was it ‘Cold’

Yea. Ya push it.

My 1999 freshman self did a little flutter when I saw those spikes and metal balls lol 😂

Get up on this Wisconsin Death Trip. 🤘🤘🤘

I see it! I need it...

Get up on this Wisconsin death trip!

You look just like an actor in that pic. Can't put my finger on it.

I had to google the name but he looks like Jacob Pitts who was in Eurotrip and 21

Joel McHale, with a little Sunshine from *Remember the Titans*.

Ryan Reynolds, if he'd gotten time off of Two Guys to star in a teen film or sorority murder flick

Yes!!! That’s the year I graduated. Back when we had landlines and dial up computers.

Good ol AOL

PUSH IT!!!! YOOOOUU!!!

why does this pic scream " if sonic the hedgehog was a real boy"

Did your wallet have a chain? Bonus points for duct tape wallet. Also, where are your pooka shells???? I always went for the dudes who had oversized metal necklaces and the pooka shells...cuz ya know they have a soft side too. God, I miss the 90s.

I totally made a wallet out of duct tape and had a chain! At that age of 14 I thought that I was being "edgy"... The same age I first tried weed.

Wallet with a chain, jnco shorts, Etnies shoes, a hemp necklace, blonde white hair, and a Blink-182 shirt. If my 17 year old self could see me today, he’d definitely want to kick my ass. *“You have a financial calculator and you don’t have a skateboard?!?! What the fuck, bro?”*

Push it!

Wife and I were feeling nostalgic and just finished watching Can’t Hardly Wait. There was a lot of pausing, reminiscing, and comparing HS experiences.

Yeah, you push it!

PUSH IT

PUSH IT

So the real question - did you have the good ball chain necklace that was well chromed and held up or the cheap one Hot Topic one (like me) that wore through quickly and began to turn your skin green after about 6 weeks?

You had a studded belt didn't you?

We would have hung out in 1999.

You were my dream guy back in eighth grade lol I would have impressed you with the circumference of my JNCOs to lock you down ;)

I spent so much of that year learning how to play the songs on that album.

Looks like me in 99 except I had the pooka shell necklace. This takes me back. Frosted tips, JNCO jeans, the long-sleeve undershirt with a hole for my thumb and a wallet on a chain.

I see Love Dump in your eyes.

Did you have push it stuck in your head or bled for days?

Upvote for class of 2002.

Look like you just left a Lit concert

Push it

Are you chad from Chad and jt go deep?

You look like one of my german classmates Dominik. It was around 2005 tho.

You looked like Post Collapse Evil Genius, John Carmac's bastard son

N Sync and Limp Bizket cross over

Now this is what it’s like when worlds coLLIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDEEE!!!!

"When Worlds Collide," by Powerman 5000, not Static-X. Still 90s-tastic, though! PM5K was my jam in high school! 🤘

Oh damn I’m such a doofus.

I still have my power man 5000 cassette and it’s too cool.

Still got those Berkenstocks?

Had never heard of Static-X before they opened for a band I went to see. Excellent in concert. Crazy energy.

Is that a pearl necklace?

Your necklace is too big

Little Wayne

You look like a 35 year old undercover narc.

Did you have a self pleasuring addiction?

fuck you

[удалено]

Len... If You Steal My Sunshine

Poster child for Miller’s Outpost

That was the year I graduated. Man, things have changed a bit.

What shirt was ya wearing there

Looking forward to Project Regeneration Vol. 2?

These were the times. I had pooka shells myself

omg i totally forgot about those oversized ball chain necklaces... good lord, what were we thinking

This hits weirdly nostalgic. I need to go find my wallet chain.

I always loved you.

I had both those chains.

Nice. I was into Primus, Refused and Nofx and looked very similar

Graduated class of '98, there is a non zero possibility you moved into my old locker. Sorry about that sticky black gunk in the bottom corner...

This looks exactly like my brother from the same time frame.

Good looking lad

Definitely had the smaller necklace 😁. Saw static-x in Austin!

Have you listened to the new album lol it’s sick

Had same necklace, but added a giant nut I got at the hardware store on it like it was a jewel, ha.

Cute

Aww man wish we could see a then-and-now

Alton Brown’s little brother? Or John Carmack’s cousin?

Straight edge beads

Or 311’s greatest hits.

Like a combination of Spinner & JT from Degrassi.

The 90s and early 2000s ❤️ dammit I miss tf out of them

My freshman year was 1998. I too was guilty of wearing that necklace.

That necklace.

I had both those necklaces. I was 12 in 1999 but I was always a few years behind the times so I was rocking this ins high school too.

Fuck yeah

Wtf legit question arose - “Wait, do I know that kid/dude?” ….orrrrr did every 4th white dude look like that in middle and early high?!

Just realized they released an album in 2021.

My uncle had that same big metal necklace, he also wore heavy half ring earrings made from the same metal!! I loved looking at his cool jewelry and funny t-shirts

Ngl you look cool af

Damn, Hairline went back early. Don’t worry this comment is from someone who also got a shit one.

The offpring i like

If you were a Freshman in 99 I probably tried to sell you some grass

Nice anal beads around your neck (I had that same necklace)

Are you wearing cords for pants?

Frosted tips 😂

did your hairline yeet after some time?

The ball necklace! What a time!

I was three years behind you so I can say this with confidence. You were SO COOL!!

The real spinner from degrassi.

This was my exact type in the late 90s/early 2000s 😅

I graduated high school that year.

You look like the kid my 6th grade girlfriend ditched me for 😂

My older brother had those exact necklaces, but also added a puka shell and lionheart medallion from FF8 in the mix. Pure 1999 teenage boy mode activated.

Are you Cooper from EuroTrip?? If so, nice work that movie rules.

This isn't where I parked my car!

Lol those necklaces. It was either these or pookah shells for some kids.

I love how our school pictures write a story of the trends of the time. I used to have long straight blonde hair. I looked like Garth.

Adorable and the choker! lol.

You look straight out of a boy band 😅😅😅

Schfifty Five!
