Ok, so following on from the Nancy Boys thread, there seems to be a lot of boardies who dont approve of this look, i was wandering did they ever look "cool" (or thought they did) when they were younger but would in fact be embarrased if they met their younger selves today?

me?? i was sooooo cool with my "cure" stuff and jesus and mary chain head!!! lol
proof?.........

me in 1987...

and...

:eek::eek::cool:

i just knew that was the look that would last for decades! lol

I'm sure I used to think a flat-top haircut was cool.

Thankfully I have no photographic evidence.

Wore a few dodgy tracksuits when I was about ten or eleven too.

genericgoon · 17-07-2008 03:51PM

Nope not once. Delusion is not one of my strenghts.

Dragan · 17-07-2008 03:54PM

Can't say as i ever particularly thought of myself as being "cool".

I was told i was cold by an ex once after i had just gotten into bed though.

Is it wrong that at 27 years of age I actually think you look kinda hot?:)

I do have a soft spot for Robert Smith though..

Steve_o · 17-07-2008 04:23PM

My mom thinks i'm cool....

OP, nope i've never thought of myself as anything really, cool or otherwise, i'm just me i guess!

Also I was 1 when that pic was taken!!

About ten years ago I plagued my poor mother for weeks until I got those Adidas rip-off tracksuit bottoms - the navy ones with the navy and white stripe down the side and f'ing huge Adidas motif. Pretty much thought I was the business in them. Oh how wrong I was. Shameful, shameful past

Ditto on the tearaways. I thought I was the **** for weeks until people told me they werent cool anymore. My first pair of Nike Air Max is the same story. A bit too late..

Dave! · 17-07-2008 04:52PM

Dear god is that what the 80s were like?! :eek:

I went through my rocker phase of hoodies and liking Slipknot... Can't say I thought I was cool though... nor did anyone else

Oh well

whiskeyman · 17-07-2008 05:11PM

with my luminous yellow, red and cyan flecky tracksuit back in 1992... I was de bomb!!!

phasers · 17-07-2008 05:50PM

I'm told I'm cool all the time, I only ever wear jeans and Tshirts. I've never worn anything bad, and I always have the perfect comeback to everything. I look good, I feel good, I smell good. Women want me and men want to be me.

Kold · 17-07-2008 06:14PM

A nice tshirt and loose fitting jeans won't ever go out of fashion.

Maximilian · 17-07-2008 06:15PM

I once believed lecturing people while inebriated and using home furnishings in lieu of conventional head wear was cool.

Kold · 17-07-2008 06:40PM

Actually I'm gonna hold up my hands and say I still think I looked awesome:

I was SOOOO cool in my black leggings, pushed down ankle socks (white) and ankle boot runners. Rock on 1994. Have never reached those heady heights of coolness ever since.

I once attended a school non uniform day dressed like Richey out of the Manics. I had skin tight white Levis and a t shirt with a spray painted pseudo-socialist logo on it and a blazer with a picture of Lenin on it. I guess I thought I was a bit of a cool interesting guy in those days. Then I grew up and became exposed to the truth.

Ruu_Old · 18-07-2008 02:00AM

Back when the "spikes" was cool, I thought I was untouchable.

Also my brother had a leather jacket (the fonze) and I had a cheaper brown (probably vinyl

) jacket, I was little fonze. Slip on shoes for my communion, white ala Michael Jackson!

hussey · 18-07-2008 02:10AM

I remember when I was 14 I think I wore a suede waistcoat for a wedding ...

SUEDE :eek:

Haha! That reminds me, I used to have a skinny leather tie. Funnily enough it would probably be cool again with a white fitted shirt and skinny jeans. However, the tie is long gone and my bodily proportions are not suitable for skinny jeans. I think I will have to settle for combats and a rugby shirt sorta look tbh.

ever tought you were "cool"?
