    Who remembers this bad boy? Every sap was saying it.... you probably were too. Pogs, planking and other preposterous fads took over, didn’t they? What other trends of the last couple of decades have disappeared into the abyss of obscurity?

    Did you recently rewatch The US Office in which both of these are lampooned?

    Wrong. This was never a trend.

    Does anyone remember Friendship Burns?

    Youd hold one of your fingers out and your friend would hold it and rub it with their thumb until it was red raw. Then you'd get a sore and the scar it left was a mark of the friendship :/ 🙂

    Emos, are they still about or has the work being done at the Central Bank reduced their natural habitat leaving them close to extinction?

    Nah, they just grew up.

    Remember the combat trousers with all the things hanging out of them.
    This is a tame version of them

    Cycling shorts, overlined lips.

    Oh no wait, they're back in fashion for some very strange reason. The worst of the '90s.

    I remember for a while they were doing Star Trek Next Generation stickers. One of the stickers was just a sticker that said Star Trek and we stuck it on the microwave and use to say it was a replicator.

    There's a full on, full grown emo lad around Cork. In his mid/late 30s I'd say.

    Snake bite piercing, flat-ironed hair, asymmetric fringe, guy liner, super skinny jet black jeans, the whooooole 9 yards. I've overheard him in conversation and he seems fairly normal. I respect the commitment.
