Teenage nancy boys

bitemybanger · 07-07-2008 07:34PM #1

Was in Dublin(outside Jervis SC) today and couldnt help noticing a gand of 6-8 young lads between 13 and 16 sporting the stupidest looking hair i had ever seen, long and straight at the back, spiked at the top, brushed to one side and flat on the front with red streaks goin at all sorts of angles.
To add insult to injury, theese guys were wearing those gay sweat bottoms that are too short and elasticated at the bottom and up around thier ankles,
I mean WTF, are the fellas gettin worse than the girls for personal appearence??
I think in about 10 or so years they will look back at photos with a red face saying "what was i thinkin:o"

truecrippler · 07-07-2008 07:36PM

I can't comprehend these people neither.
They also think they're really hard, have they ever looked at themselves?
Vain metro sexual "hardmen".... eugh never heard of one.

Goths. Punks. Emo kids. New Romantics. Hippies. Mullets. Afros.
This is nothing new. The trend may have changed but young people dressing stupidly and thinking that they are cool is nothing new.
At least we can laugh now we have our straight back and sides and nice pair of brown slacks.
I really miss my Slayer tee-shirts pink hair and piercings though.

Standard Henry St. posse tbh.

They're SpiceBoys, always a solid form of visual entertainment when they come into the shop.

And so will us children of the 80's when we look back on our x-works jeans and elipse shirts.

And the 70's children

... and the 60's ...

Every generation has some trend thats cringeworthy at a later date. This is theirs.

Kiera · 07-07-2008 07:40PM

Ah leave them alone. I bet you wore embarrassing clothes when you were younger!

Showing your age me thinks!

You should see some of the muppets around cork. I saw this fat kid in town at the weekend with long hair at the back, stupid red dyed hair tattoos on the side and the the top of his head looked like roadkill.
WTF do these **** ask for when they go to get a haircut?

Rb · 07-07-2008 07:43PM

It's the new look for knackers in Dublin.
Last year it was blonde hair and sparkly studded earrings with stripey tops and sweat pants tucked into their socks so it's only a slight variation.

brick tamland · 07-07-2008 07:45PM

you just dont know whats cool:p:p:p

Yeah but this trend is cringeworthy now!

Absolutely devoid of any individuality. I see them all the time and they all look identical...Ive also noticed that they all walk around now together in groups with earphones in their ears.

Is this some sort of covert communication device on which they share fashion tips or can they simply not even stand each others company they are so dull and pathetic?

Atm, I'm sporting blood red hair, numerous piercings and a Dillinger Escape Plan t-shirt. One of the few pleasures of not having a job.

Round up the mob to beat up the nancy boys?

Not much different than people in the 80's/90's going around with their ghettoblaster on their shoulders

Yeah its cringeworthy for an older crowd, not the same crowd wearing the style.

Same as the rave gear would have been cringeworthy (maybe) to older siblings when the 80's crowd were wearing then.

Don't think it can exactly be described as camp!

I was one of those.
We listened to Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and it was great.
Then some dick would come along and try to put on some dance music radio station and I'd put out a cigarette in his eye and push him into the Liffey.*
Good times and I still dress the same and listen to the same type of music.

*Actual violence may not have occured.

KBarry · 07-07-2008 09:26PM

I thought mullets were cool when I was their age. They'll grow out of it.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 07-07-2008 09:34PM

Jaysus, you;re begininning to sound like a mierablle bunch of Victor Meldew type fvcks.
"In my day we didn't wear our hair long. We had it short. And we were whipped if it touched the collar by the locla priest. And we're bettter for it!!"

Thank fvck for when the day comes that Ireland renounces it's freedom and gives into some sort of coded practice that makes short hair mandatory. And everything else. Fvck, look at the time. 1984 already. I'm outta here.

They're doing that on purpose and would be delighted to know you have noticed it. I know for a fact if you go up and tell them they look like camp nancy boys they will give you a fiver.

Bingo. Go back far enough and i imagine all of us will think "****, i used to look like a plank".

Except me.

I live on the cutting edge of fashion.

kowloon · 07-07-2008 10:06PM

:pac:Thank fook I was never fashionable.

phenomenon · 07-07-2008 10:25PM

They couldn't look any worse than those grunger/goth pseudo-depressed, attention seeking muppets that wear black hoodies and leather trench coats on the hottest day of the year. Try not to smudge your make-up kids. Wouldn't want to look silly now

Man I love this thread, quite possibly the best thread in the world.....
