Kids in my primary school where talking about this, it's not exclusive to the 90's

[–] Badgernomics@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

There was a documentary I watched years ago on Netflix that said it dates back to the 70's, possibly as far backs pre 1900, but in pop culture the 70's for sure.

Probably still carved on the desk.

Interesting Lemmino video about the S https://piped.video/watch?v=RQdxHi4_Pvc

[–] undyingarchie@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

What is this symbol? The letter S? The number 8? Zero or O twisted in the middle?

The answer: Yes.

Its amazing how international this S is and nobody knows where it came from. Its one of the most crucial social mysteries of the the late 20th century.

This has been kicking around for so long, I wonder where it originally came from!

The infinity S

I just listened to the Denim and Leather album a few days ago.

PS. Not just the 90s. We were drawing that in the 80s also .

My mind was blown when I learned this was never actually associated with Stussy.

[–] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm guessing you're not a 90s kid...

[–] TheRealLinga@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a name for this symbol? Definitely brings me back

I still don't know if this is an "8" or a "S".
