Im Gangster - I wear Elmo BackPacks!

[ExCeL 52]

I dont know if this is just me ...but I am getting SICK AND TIRED OF -

Dora the Explorer,Elmo and Friends, Poorly drawn crappy cartoon franchises, Telee-Tubbies, Barney, Go Diego Go!, or anything else immature... Clothing lines that Teenagers WEAR!

I mean its absolutely crazy! I cant walk for thirty seconds without seeing some kid wearing some child cartoon backpack or shirt!

I think it is totally STUPID.

I asked a kid that is 6' 4 why he wears it and he said cause its hood....yeah thats real cool lemme go shoot some kid with my millimeter while repping my Elmo knapsack. IDIOTIC

Im 14 and I go to a Highschool in Katy, Texas...and I dont understand it.

Anyone else having this problem?

 

[_Phloat_]

I find it funny, at least if it complements their personality well.. Or is a huge contrast.

The problem is that too many people are doing it, so it's losing its shock value. Eventually, some firms will leave the market, and the equilibrium humor level will be achieved.

I saw one the first week of school, it wasn't a childrenss brank, it was huuuuuuuuuge.

Was annoying, because it took up 2 rows on our stairwell =\

 

[ndayday]

Surprisingly, I haven't seen this at all, except for a kid who wears an Elmo shirt. However, his name is Elmo.

Shock them back by wearing spandex, or something...less distracting.

This is a perfectly acceptable economic viewpoint.
It can explain the rationale behind the people who are purchasing the material.

 

[Sosuke]

I just thought those people couldn't afford to get new backpacks and just kept their childhood ones. O_O

 

[NinjaFoxX]

just imagine a guy with hella saggy pants, huge black tall-T, 11 inch afro, wearing a Hanna Montanna backpack. yeah dawg thats gansta my nigg...

 

[PDawgy]

people don't do that anymore, at least where I live, but it was fun while it lasted

 

[choomer]

zomg.
thank you, finally someone who understands where i'm coming from with these stupid elmo / handy manny/ hannah montana backpacks, shirts, etc.

unfortunatly, kids are still wearing this crap, hopefully it goes out of style soon.

Thats .. basically my school its ****ing halarious lol.

 

[DMan1000]

nope and hopefully i never see those type of people in my school

 

[Grunt]

It seems my area has passed through this phase rather quick, so it wont be long.
but i agree, It looks ********.

 

[Red Exodus]

I've been seeing that for years, I'll never understand why it's considered cool.

 

[superincredible]

I have seen people wear those type of clothes before,I think they want to look unique,start a new fad.But doesn't look like it,s working.

 

[Blazey]

People do that all over the place where I live. Even my girlfriend has Spiderman, TMNT and Pokemon bags That she uses everywhere. I have the same Jansport bag that I've been using for about a decade, now. I've been using it so often for so long that I was able to write an essay on it for year 12 English and get an A+ for it. That is when a bag has personality.

 

[LumpyCPU...]

i actually support it. lol
i'm not into pokemon. and i don't think pokemon are exactly "COOL" right now.
but if i had a hoody sweater with pokeballs all over it, i'd still wear it.
just to rep what i used to like for nostalgic purposes.

 

[superincredible]

it's not that bad,unless your wearing crappy toddler cartoons.I wear anything that has Naruto,and Bleach.

Im .. not saying All That .. is innapropriate.. That is an amazing show it was great when I was a Kid.. Ren and stimpy is great too...

Im talking about .. Elmo ... Barney .. Go Diego Go!, Dora the Explorer, Tele-Tubbies...

Im not trying to be racist or anything .. but only Black people wear it .. Its a disgrace to our race... I mean Martin Luther King works ten hard years to get us out of racism .. then we go and pull stupid .. ( im going to watch my language ) crap like this .. and it just says "hey look at me Im Colored! If I went to a Job application smarter than a white man the white man would get the job!"

Im tired.. of society these days .. noone takes a second to think about anything they just do things.

AND NO IM NOT RACIST!

My mom is white and my dad is black

So Im Malado.

 

[LumpyCPU...]

REN & STIMPY is awesome!!!!
lol

yeah. i see the difference now.
stuff that you grow out of before you know what's cool


p.s. i think malado looks tight lol

Irony at it's best

 

[Flamingo]

This gay kid who liked me at my old school wore an elmo backpack... It was sorta creepy.

And this isn't bashing on gay ppl, i don't do that.

If you like it, and you where it because you think its cool, than so be it.

I just dislike when people do it because they saw somebody else do it.

 

[LumpyCPU...]

word. just trying to do what someone else already did.
not exactly revolutionary. haha

hey that's not bad, I almost shed a tear......TOO BAD I DON'T CRY CUS I IS GANGSTA!!!!!!

 

[K64]

The ironic thing about this is that these people that wear it are the same people that make fun of me for playing Poke'mon. One of them said this:
"Charizard is stronger than Mewtwo"
I wanted to slap him.

Oh God where to begin. 1. I'm lovin' the Hewy avatar (coppin it-gett'n pops) for some reason it add more credibility to this thread. lolz.

2. All that featuring Keenan and Kel and all the oldchool cast back in the 90's was the sh-t; Still is by far and is the funniest to date. Not like now, is just lost that sparkle to me.

3.Ren & Stimpy should be appropriate clothing to wear because it was controversial waay before southpark and Family guy knocking off Simpson. So much so nickelodean HAD to cancel that show. I would wear it with pride. Not the anything broadcasted on PBS; okay a little contradiction here, maybe Cookie monser, the pimp..er, the count shirt...

4. What you posted sounded rather scary to put into words. Blacks alone, mixing P.B.S. clothing with colors to show their affiliation? Also understand you within reasoning after reading your comments. ...I wouldn't look into this too much and if was in your shoes focus on my studies more. Trends are getting out of hand these days, spongbob panties being worn by grown *** college girls'; Worst! Right when starting have sex. Er...ignore that last one folks.

 

[OmegaXXII]

Hmm.. this was very common back when I was in high school, especially during my senior year, I guess they wear them because it's considered 'hood' or because they are so popular that whatever they wear doesn't even matter.

 

[LumpyCPU...]

i remember when teletubbies or whatever was cool
that was lame though IMO

 

[Azua]

I read through this topic thinking "wow, I have no idea what these people are talking about," and then I realized this has something to do with high school kids.


I know this may be shocking to some of you, but......sometimes, high school trends don't make any sense at all.


I'm sure someone else here remembers when wearing your visor upside-down and backwards made you a badass.

 

[notftomearth7]

Really, I've only seen girls do this where I come from. The guys usually stick to superhero shirts if they're gangster enough.


But yeah, I understand what your saying. I doesn't really "piss me off" as much as it shocks me. I have never understood how Elmo was "gangsta"
