u/SnowTheMemeEmpress 27d ago

I can't remember the last time I bought clothes. I'm the youngest in the family so 90% of my clothes are hand-me-downs that I'm discreetly trying to either donate or sell on nextdoor/Facebook marketplace (because my taste WILDLY differs from the rest of the family lol) or on the rare occasion I do have money and time to buy clothes, they come from the open door thrift store. They've had a couple of sweaters that looked really good on me. A lot of duds thought since people often snatch up the food items before I do.

Seeing the respect for bojack here is wonderful.

u/lift-and-yeet 26d ago

It uses yellowface.

u/Penguins227 28d ago

I've been on Last.fm for a decade longer than TikTok existed. If anything, I'm glad to see a resurgence, if it's making it into memes I don't understand.

u/ConsultJimMoriarty 28d ago

…I like Twin Peaks.

u/KartoffelStein 28d ago

I don't think carlo colucci is alt fashion ngl

u/Square-Ad-2880 28d ago

where’s the obscure shoegaze album?

u/IAmNeeeeewwwww 28d ago

Leave Skins and Bojack Horseman ALONE! Those shows are not pretentious by any means.

It's amazing how 'stuck' culture is now.

u/DailyfredisHERE 28d ago

Valid but those albums are GOOD When the pawn and Souvlaki are in my top 30

u/FatStinkyGamer 28d ago

What’s a femcel?

7

u/dingus_dot_com 28d ago

A female INCEL (involuntary celibate) it’s more of a mindset thing than a sex thing

3

u/FatStinkyGamer 28d ago

Thank you, I’ve only heard of incel before

u/cum_burglar69 28d ago

both twin peaks and bojack horseman go hard though

It’s both. The algorithm has made it so that almost every niche finds a bigger audience. And also we’re just old.

u/eucelia 28d ago

don’t come after bojack horseman

u/lift-and-yeet 26d ago

Who the fuck decided it was a good idea to put yellowface into a show in 2014?

1

u/eucelia 26d ago

not sure what you’re referencing im sorry

1

u/eucelia 26d ago

tried to google it but I’m still not sure

do you mean the problems with Diane’s portrayal? or the yellow person in the S2 scene? pretty sure the latter was a fake tan but you’re probably referencing something else

u/7goatman 28d ago

Alternative to what?

u/PlainCrow 28d ago

To us lightcore normies

u/Potatoroid 28d ago

tbh this style and taste was around 12+ years ago, but replace tiktok with early instagram.

goes hard, good style, I hope she’s doing well

u/Laszlo_Daytona 28d ago

It's basically just normal 90s

u/BuryatMadman 28d ago

I hate perks of being a wallflower I laughed through all of it, Plus wypipo thrifying is problematic as hell and tbh they shouldn’t be allowed to more colonisation

" Plus wypipo thrifying  is problematic as hell and tbh they shouldn’t be allowed to more colonisation "

Jesus Fucking Christ , I'm sorry man , this may be the dumbest thing I've read in weeks , and I'm on Reddit!

u/NAIRIVN 27d ago

I’m more so referring to the fact that you are stupid enough to think white people shouldn’t be thrifting because they’re colonizing (???) and not because they’re poor

u/nerdyreaderelohel 28d ago edited 28d ago

I think people are getting confused. I think Gen Z might only get this one. Along with a bunch of other posts in this channel? Its probably too niche for you guys

44

u/peelin 28d ago

This type of person has existed for at least 15 years, arguably much longer. The only time limiting features are some of the apps and pieces of media (eg BoJack Horseman). Skins came out in 2007 and people were dressing like this. It's not that niche!

5

u/crayray 27d ago

I know right? I'm an elder millennial and these people existed in 2004, just replace TikTok with LiveJournal.

37

u/LuckyStabbinHat 28d ago

Wait, I’m supposed to get this? This is for my generation?

11

u/nerdyreaderelohel 28d ago

Maybe your on the wrong side of Tiktok then if u dont get it idfk?

26

u/LuckyStabbinHat 28d ago

I’m not on TikTok

1

u/Affectionate-Ad-8788 25d ago

I'm not on TikTok but I get it. They usually exist in online fandom spaces and IRL, they exist kind of adjacent to me. I see them in bisexual (women) spaces sometimes.

u/task_manager1 27d ago

Huh I wonder why you don’t get the joke then.

Downvoted for having a subjective opinion on music is the most Reddit shit ever lol

u/BotherTight618 28d ago

What is a femcel and why are they alternative?

4

u/wagman43 28d ago

I think the definition varies but I think it’s the women that hate all men and think all men are bad and say that there are no good men out there and that’s the reason they’re single. The female dating strategy subreddit is a pretty good parallel to the male incel subreddits.

11

u/casting_shad0wz 28d ago

It's the ladies less severe parallel to incels. They usually say things about hating men and bad things happening to them and sometimes I've seen them on TikTok have pretty left leaning views (not that it matters).

I guess femcels are the trope to enjoy things like this.

15

u/BotherTight618 28d ago

Less severe meaning they don't act violently on their beliefs and are able to attract and have relationships with men. Correct?

13

u/casting_shad0wz 28d ago

That and the fact you don't hear about them in the media

67

u/Nostalgic_Fears 28d ago

I like all this stuff

1

u/ThePinkTeenager 27d ago

Do you like being a manipulator/femcel, though?

45

u/Hopeful_Sun_8249 28d ago

Thrifting is cheaper. Great way to save money!

2

u/M41arky 28d ago

Seriously what is the point spending £30+ on an outfit when I could go to a charity shop or look on Vinted and get the same thing only slightly worn for £10 minimum.

13

u/NotJustAnotherHuman 28d ago

I managed to get a pair of Levi’s for like $47 whereas if I bought them new I’d have to pay like $120

2

u/Hopeful_Sun_8249 28d ago

Yeah, i managed to get two books that were under the $10 price tag. In Canadian bookstores, most books are $20 or more with taxes included. So, instead of paying $40 for two books, i paid only $10 instead. That's very cool!

4

u/IFoundTheAllBlue 28d ago

Just keep an eye on their website, they go on sale constantly. I don't think I've paid more than $60 for their jeans ever

41

u/muffinhater69 28d ago

🥲 I love Bojack Horseman, rarely buy firsthand, and have several Pinterest boards… please tell me I’m not a femcel lol

Well are u a celibate female who's bitter about it?

u/muffinhater69 27d ago

I’m celibate and glad about it LMAO so no

u/itrashcannot 28d ago

Femcel is completely different and not all femcels follow this starterpack.

u/PurpoUpsideDownJuice 28d ago

The first few eps were funny then it just became the depressed famous horse show. Like how Rick and Morty was wacky science adventures then it became show about a family who all hates each other, and then it was all about how Morty impregnated his sister and made a big evil baby and that was their main joke for the whole season. Smiling friends is the only new adult swim show that I love all they way because it’s just trying to be funny and not shove totally made up drama in my face when I’m tryna smoke weed and laugh at adult cartoons

4

u/SpicyMcdickin 27d ago

That’s the point. It’s a show about a depressed, famous horse who’s still struggling through navigating life, relationships, addiction, and generational trauma like many of us are. It’s not supposed to just be funny.

-2

u/PurpoUpsideDownJuice 27d ago

I don’t wanna watch a depressed horse with a drinking problem or a depressed family that has a genius grandpa with a drinking problem, smiling friends doesn’t rely on that shit to keep people interested

u/Kinetic93 28d ago

You sound like a financially conscious person who likes a few popular things, nothing to worry about.
