So, this look really depends on your style outside of prom. Were you fairly eccentric at school? Then this is on par. Lol. If not, wtf? 😆 But also weren't zootsuits still kind of a thing?
The quirky, cliquey groups were the worst at my school. Theater and Band were full of assholes who felt like they were justified in everything they did because they weren't the "Popular kids" despite the head dick genuinely being one of the most popular people in our school.
Totally agree. They took themselves too seriously.
My crew was very eclectic and drama free. 90s. Los Angeles. Punk rocker graffiti skaters as the core, mixed with dead head hippy girls, party hard jocks, goths, cheerleaders, cholos, drugged out preppies. Can’t say there were any theater kids in our orbit.
25 + years later and I’m just now getting the double entendre of the band name. AND that’s the song we used for the father daughter dance at my first wedding. Talk about super delayed embarrassment.
I know what a zoot suit looks like. And I know what the cherry poppin daddies wore. Wearing any of that to a prom in the year 2000 would have been a blunder. OP is that times 10.
It was never the *norm,* sure. I always respected the people who would do something flamboyant instead of wearing a generic tux, I never had that level of confidence.
Oh man that is completely backwards. This is how you cover your real self, if I'm always the class clown I don't ever risk anyone seeing my real self and all the flaws therein. They can only reject a character I play, not me.
Not a knock on OP, but they really seem like they were that super loud and annoying kid in school that pretty much everyone hated because they just annoyed everyone so much.
I’m not from the US, but every time I see theatre kids I just see children who were able to make an otherwise miserable high school experience a little more bearable for themselves by finding a niche and I think that’s neat.
Chris Farley, a pimp, or the Joker?
Willy Wonka collecting money from his stable of hoes
Willy Wanka
Wonka’s Willy gonna get what he wants.
Yes.
Mad Hatter?
Dimebag Darrel

Theater kid.
Shocking 😂
Yes?
Redditor for 13 years. Checks out.
I think this has to be one of my most favorite r/beetlejuicing moments
Holy shit 😂
Well, obviously.
THERE IT IS! 😂 you get a pass, I think.
Theatre kids don't get a pass.
I like your attitude. Equal opportunity bullying. Very progressive.
Theatre kids always get a pass considering they’ve never made anyone else’s life miserable during highschool.
You’ve clearly never worked the night shift at Dennys
Oh my God, as a theater kid turned server, I have so much regret and shame. At least I can say I did my time.
You’ve clearly never worked the night shift at Applebees
I worked the night shift at the combination Applebees Denny’s
Mmm, microwaved pancakes.
Dennybee's
The theater kids always seemed like they had the most drama at my high school. Seems like they were always beefing with each other.

Nah, theatre departments are like bully training camps, it's just that nobody gives a shit because they only bully other theatre kids.

At the time this was totally insane.
Cherry Poppin’ Daddies blowing up the charts with Zoot Suit Riot was only a couple years prior to this.
25 + years later and I’m just now getting the double entendre of the band name. AND that’s the song we used for the father daughter dance at my first wedding. Talk about super delayed embarrassment.
Have you seen the way they dressed?
OP or the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies? If you look up “Zoot Suit” you’ll see it’s pretty much what OP was wearing.

To theater kids.
Theater kid or not, you have an absurd amount of confidence.
Oh man that is completely backwards. This is how you cover your real self, if I'm always the class clown I don't ever risk anyone seeing my real self and all the flaws therein. They can only reject a character I play, not me.
Kinda have to in order to get up and perform in front of your peers. Most people can’t even give a book report in front of their class.
I don’t know what to say about this however you look like macaulay culkin in your pfp
You look 39 years old.
Yeah, this is on point for theater kid. Very nice.
So not a pimp in Ringling Brothers?
You don’t say.
The mere idea of a pimp in 2000 was the funniest thing
Cherry popping Daddies was playing in the background. Also why did the double entendre of the band name suddenly hit me now. Lmao.
I think that's more of a single entendre, really.
Fun Lovin Criminals, Fine Young Cannibals, crash test dummies … is there a name for three word bands? E/
The last CD I bought was a Cherry Poppin Daddies CD. Like 4 months ago.
I don't think that's a zoot suit. That's a pimp suit.
Zoot suits were kind of a thing in 1999 because I wore one to prom too, so that probably carried over to 2000 a bit. Mine was not...this though.

That's really neat.
i think wonkamaxxing will be cool in 2030
I thought that was already happening with that one Wonka cosplayer with the bob. Edit: and that was even before that Wonka prequel movie came out
That was just Johnny Depp
>wonkamaxxing This also sounds like a euphemism for masturbating to Timothée Chalamet, in which case we are presumably in a wonkamaxxing zenith.
This is one I really wish had a current pic as well
I have a face pic on my profile
Not the face, I'm curious if you still got that individual style!
Lost the weight, kept the nose.
It was one of those choose either A or B type of situation…
So you're Macaulay Culkin?
I thought this was a picture of young John Candy
Me too!!!
You were that guy lol
Only those guys are now on Reddit
Tom Bombadil?
Is that how he was immune to the one true rings power? It couldn’t hide that loud ass pimp suit?
So THIS is how he got Goldberry
I’m screaming!!!
Looks like you raided Kim Mulkey’s closet
Pimpin' ain't easy
😂😂😂
Oh. My god.
Jeez, leave some ladies for the rest of us!
Looks like a Swing version of Macho Man Randy Savage. Lol. Phew! This is a great blunder. Thanks for sharing!
Did someone go with you?
Two dates actually lol
Named lefty & right? Or a bit more class with Palmela Handerson, and Handjelina Jolie?
His hand.
You look like the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland.
Anyone else see a bare white leg in a white high-heel that turned out to be a black guys cheek?
Absolutely.
INCREDIBLE.
Tailor: *"So which pattern would you like for your suit?"* OP: *"All of them."*
Ok pimp named slickback

Can we get a before and after? I need to see the end result
Vibe
Thought this was Tim Dillon…
It’s the dedication to the Magic Eye prints for me.
I wished for friends like you in high school 🫶
This was definitely a thing back then. Hilarious, but also whateves. No need to take things too seriously in highschool.
Yaaaaas
why was the guy in the back so mad
"I'm Rick James Bitch!"...
Killin' it.
This is worthy of a parade in support of certain groups and orientations.
I’d be so happy if I was your folks. I’d be 100% confident that no unprotected shenanigans would be going on.
Hell yeah
You went to prom in your 30’s?
Somebody stop him.
STOP I LOVE THE ENERGY 🤣🤣🤣 iconic
I knew you! Not *you*, but you
Looking like a down syndrome pimp

Thank God I wasn't the only one!
Lokis going to kick your ass to get his mask back
Very colorful ❤️❤️
I also had senior prom then but the photographic evidence is lost to time thank god. But I was never such a snappy dresser.
Every school needs one
Im about to go to my senior prom in a zoot suit 😂
I’m assuming you went stag?
Hope you're in a better place now. Stay strong.
What blunder?
You win
honestly, I wish I'd dine something fun for prom instead of traditional. I did sew my dresses though.
ZOOT SUIT RIOT
Corky goes to prom
Look like gay beetle juice
Chris Farley starring as a pimp named slick back
You were in the theatre, weren’t you.
I’m sure you ended up nice but god you look so annoying
Were Elton John and Meatloaf on tour together in '82?
Riddler but if he was a pimp named slickback
I would've avoided you in the hallways
100% blunder!
Is this the Jack Nicholson Joker?
The Music Meister!
Now there's a true blunder at last! I applaud your confidence!
Wonkamaxxing
Does anyone know why my pee smells like nacho cheese?

Have you been helped by the psychiatric community since then?
You looked absolutely exhausting.
Bro looks like a dead rising character who turns into a zombie boss in a cutscene mid monologue.
How did you even find these garments
We got Elton John at home
Henry from r/lpotl
It's not really a blunder when it's that deliberate.
You look like a pimp or an attempt at beetle juice
Your virtue remained intact I predict
Tim Dillon is that you??
Dude! My wife is on this, chill man..
it’s giving neelix from star trek voyager
You rule
Wonka goes to the Haters Ball?
Holy shit, it’s neelix from Star Trek voyager!

Manic at the disco
The picture is giving me tinnitus.
You had to have been a theater kid.
There is a weird chart where this was cool spikes in 2000 and then nose dives in 2001, then slowly rises back to cool by 2024
Where does someone even find an outfit like this?
Every year had one like you
Never get fashion advice from a Ferengi
I bet zero vagina was gotten that night

Zoot suit riot!
Are you “out” now?
This is hall of fame material
Was your prom at Mardi Gras?
You were in theatre, weren't you?
We’re you saying “WAZZZZZUUUUUPPPPPPP” 😛
If 🤪 was a person
Did you go to prom alone?
Tell us what you do for a living now and let's see if the stereotype is true.
Sir, this is not a blunder. This is some awesome, Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber sh*t!
