A false dichotomy created by pop culture to divide teenagers into cliques.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I mean I did plenty of both.

[–] MammyWhammy@lemmy.ml 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And have felt super cool and like a total loser doing both.

Is this divisive jock/preppy/nerd/skater/gangsta shit still going on 23 years after I left high school? I thought y'all zoomers were better than that.

[–] bigmanjezza@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago (1 children)

hello, I'm a 2020 hs graduate, I'm probably in the zoomer category. from my experience, this does not exist outside of movies.

[–] SternburgExport@feddit.de 37 points 2 years ago

Actually not. You can be a massive nerd these days and still go get fucked up and party.

There will always be popular extroverts and unpopular introverts.

I was actually both . I was in the robotics club and programming/ gaming on my free time. Then on the weekends I was out drinking and hanging with a completely different set of friends.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

The double loser? Gaming and having friends must have been painful to live through.

[–] Fibby@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Gamers truly are the most oppressed ✊😪

In the 90s it wasn't a problem to do both, so I became a double loser.

I'm about to blaze up and jump into this Tarkov wipe with the boys. The fuck is this.

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Me, dropping into DMZ with a single plate carrier, a throwing knife, my vape, and a DREAM.

I was the Internet/Gamer kid raised by television who got drunk at 17 and fell off a roof. Why was I drunk on a roof? Fuckin' 2001.

Not sure which category I fall under.

Alcohol gives you cancer, gaming does not.

You haven't played LoL, have you?

Oh no, I was in the first group (for 3/4 of high school) and I definitely thought that I was a loser.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I really don't care about party-goers.

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How about internet party goers

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And how about lan-party goers?

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Drunken LAN parties. Ahh, those were the days

[–] Haha@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

If you’re not born rich, you’re a loser. There.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Spoiler alert...

They both suck

[–] bigmonkey@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I was both of these as a teen and basically still am. I'm also a confirmed loser so this meme checks out!

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Same except for the still am part.

[–] MasterNerd@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Bruh this meme is so stale could clobber someone to death with it

[–] gamarus@lemmy.cat 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm part of the two, am I special? 🙊
