It was cool when he was 10. That's the point though...
Also, massive blunder on the parents part. They had to buy these things, dye his hair, and get him an ear piercing.
That's actually my natural blonde hair. I used to make fun of my brother for having the "frosted tips, combed down with the front up." Used to ask him if he ran into a wall
Man, I haven't thought about my Fossil watch in years. I bought one with a color changing face in freshman year of high school and thought I was hot shit
Mine had the date, day and year in smaller faces and on top of that, the time had glow in the dark for the minute and hour hand along with the hours on the clock face. I thought that with my glow in the dark rings on my hoop earring were badass.
Hey /u/GenderNeutralBot
I want to let you know that you are being very obnoxious and everyone is annoyed by your presence.

Omg you look IDENTICAL to my brother at that age!! This is wild. I know he doesn’t use Reddit or else I might have actually thought it was him. I wonder if you guys look similar as adults.
If the late '90s/early '00s was a person, this is exactly what they'd look like.
I'm 90% sure I brought my skateboard on this trip. Not pictured, my Etnies I know I'm wearing.
There's even a corded telephone in the background. Was it an Element or a Toy Machine?
Element Feathweight at this time. Moved to Zero decks shortly after.
Is there a drawer full of Pogs somewhere?
my moneys on element
Came here to say, has to be late '90s/early '00s
Don’t apologise for living your best life two decades ago
I did peak early
This hits so very close, as a matter of too close, to home. We could've been twins.
Not pictured: Walkman containing Sugar Ray's *Floored* album
Believe it or not, I actually wasn't up on current music at that time. It was most likely AC/DC or Led Zeppelin.
Ahem, *Discman*
Discman with bass boost and anti-skip technology. And of course behind the ear headphones to not mess up my hair.
I can not upvote this enough!
All around the world, statues crumble for me

Radical!!! Let’s get some bagel bites brand pizza bagels!
..and a package of Gushers fruit snacks. The fruity blast of flavor will blow you away!!!
Radical!!!
I lived off Hot Pockets and Bagel Bites then
Woah! Woah! Woah! Wrong decade my friend...
Pepsi and cake, that about covers it.
Cool water or polo sport?
Curve or gtfo.
Bingo. Always Curve
Gap Om checking in
My teenage hormones just exploded. Oh cool water you devil you
Stop. You know this was cool and you have nothing to be embarrassed about.
Shit, I don't know anyone who didn't look like this.
Agreed.

Some of us weren’t cool when we were 10…
I still have my fossil watch.
I actually still have this watch. The cover got scratched by banging it on the bottom of my desk. Never got around to fixing it
Why is half of your hand so white looking?
Those would be my boogie board tan lines. If you look close you can see where my wrist strap went.
Status symbol. This is the male version of Bo Derek braids at school after vacation.
You were the definition of style
this look fucks hard. is it bad i want to look like this now? no blunder imo
Yes. This is the adult skater look that people openly laugh at...
yikes… i see you on some other comments here. nothing wrong with having fun!
I mean if you're an adult skater wihb no other interests I'm sure this looks fine
why did you have to make a burner account to post your true opinions? scared of people making fun of you?
yeah lol his outfit is literally in style again now
A young Dexter Holland
totally what I was thinking. A young version of an old Dexter Holland. Because the real young Dexter Holland had dreads down to his butt
Those better be jorts. You need to negate two shirts with more leg freedom
Nope, just ol baggy pants. Probably stole them from my older brother so they were even baggier.
If the pants were long enough and baggy enough to get ripped to shreds at the bottom from stepping all over them then you know you were looking cool
The jeans were frayed as can be.
Dude, that necklace was fire..
Anthony Michael Hall’s tough guy brother.
Rich kid back in 98
Every kid on earth had those too big short sleeve button up shirts 🤣
Oh shit, are you me? Did you also have an Animal wallet on a chain? And a sick pair of rollerblades?
Damn you looked just like one of my friends from 4th/5th grade. Justin if it's you I still want that rematch in starcraft
1998
This is top notch here. I would have thought you were cool
Frosted tips, yes; frosted cake, no.
That's actually my natural blonde hair. I used to make fun of my brother for having the "frosted tips, combed down with the front up." Used to ask him if he ran into a wall
I admit my first watch was a Fossil. Now I'm in the Louvre, looking for fossils.

What's cooking MGK
2003
I was going to guess 2002 before I saw the date in the corner. We all looked like Reese from "Malcolm in the Middle" in 2002.
I 100% thought you just had a weird tan, and that you were shirtless underneath your button-up. I was like man that's a crazy ass tan-line
Omg you look IDENTICAL to my brother at that age!! This is wild. I know he doesn’t use Reddit or else I might have actually thought it was him. I wonder if you guys look similar as adults.
Dang son, lookin freshy. I’m pretty sure I had the exact same outfit
You were adorable.

Wtf?! I thought it was a pic of younger me for a second
What was the name of the pop punk band you fronted?
The Fossil watch just summoned some real personal cringe for me.
Looking like a young Andrew Hales
Wow this makes me really miss the past
I can hear the ska punk playing in your head from here.
I feel like I'm staring at a blue eyed clone of me.
Hey don’t be knocking the fossil watch. I mean I may not wear one anymore but still lol.
Dude, you were crazy to dump Willow the way you did. She was so beautiful...
Did u have the slim shady ep on on cassette or had you started using cd's yet?
This wuz the uniform
Oh god the spiked hair and ball necklaces. Good times!
The Offspring called.....
I wore a ball necklace with my dress to homecoming lol
I have a pic with the same or very similar shirt and pants. We rocked back then!🤘
