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

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I mean I did plenty of both.

[-] MammyWhammy@lemmy.ml 32 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah.

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Imagine not cracking a beer while playing Vidya Games.

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 47 points 2 years ago

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 36 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

There will always be popular extroverts and unpopular introverts.

This would have been maybe edgy or interesting 20 years ago

Having been a teenager approximately 20 years ago, no this wouldn't. We partied and went out, and played video games and surfed the net back then too.

[-] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Eh. I grew up in a football town. There was definitely a dichotomy between the popular kids and the "nerds" back when the term was only used as an insult. I think people have to remember their local experiences are only indicative of their locale, not the world at large. The same likely applies here. Won't be true for everyone, so the post is at least wrong in that regard, but the person who made it probably just didn't consider their experience is the same as everyone else's either.

Based on just browsing social media, this would be more accurate if it were stated as a spectrum and the two extremes hate each other. That would explain the posts in the recent past of people complaining about "normies" (unironically) joining Lemmy.

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

Gamers truly are the most oppressed ✊😪

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

[-] GeekFTW@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

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.

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

Alcohol gives you cancer, gaming does not.

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

I really don't care about party-goers.

[-] Anamana@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago

How about internet party goers

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

And how about lan-party goers?

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

Drunken LAN parties. Ahh, those were the days

[-] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 6 points 2 years ago

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

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

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.

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

Spoiler alert...

They both suck

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

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

I'm part of the two, am I special? 🙊
