Things You Did BEFORE They Were Cool

ITT things you were doing before it became trendy. Maybe you still do it. Maybe you jumped off the bandwagon when everyone else jumped on. You probably didn't start the trend but you damn sure were there before everyone was. So what was it?

Now Im sure most of us can say nerd stuff like games, comics, certain movies etc. but here are some of mine

PBR

Now being from the south the Hipster scene has taken a little while longer to take off than most places but PBR has been here forever. Its only been in the last couple years i've noticed this but it seems everyone is drinking pbr now. Guinness is my favorite brew but till bars serve $2 Guinness i'll be drinking delicious PBR (or on lucky occations Yuengling)

New Balance 574

First saw these on a episode ofInsomniac with Dave Attellback in highschool and went out and got myself a blue pair, of which i got more compliments for than any other shoe i've owned. over the next year i went from being the only person i knew/saw with them to the only pearson with only one pair. They're on there way out now but i still think about getting another pair.

WOLVES

Few years back me and some friends decided to go buy some awesome walmart wolf shirts, afterwards we formed a mock 80's hairmetal band worshipping wolves and "amurica". Lately I've seen both wolves the ironic american patriotism take off in the forms of actual bands and scenekids. However we still praise our mascot wolf diety today and i still wear my wolf shirts.

C1assic rock

speaking of walmart: I was this kid in middle/highschool, i wore Zeppelin, Floyd, the Who etc. shirts everyday. During my latter part of highschool walmart (and hot topic) started selling unofficial c1assic rock shirts that blew up quick with kids who, when questioned, only knew of "stairway to heaven" and the like. I've quit wearing those shirts since HS unless around the house.

Retro Shades

I used to have so many of these handed down from my folks. It went from wearing them jokingly and drunkenly as parties to thinking "these things are actually pretty bad ass". I wore them a very short time before they were discovered by hipsters, scenekids, emo kids, f***boys and all around douchebags i remember as these being $1.75 at gas stations when I was 6ish, now.......

I wore a Fedora.

I brought it back; let nobody tell you otherwise. 8)

PBR was and is never cool....ever.........Omni-Slash

Play Call of Duty..

Not directly but mma. Im really good at wrestling so of course if I got in a fight id use it, and ive never lost a fight. But people always made fun of me and called me p****. Then a couple years later UFC got popular as hell and everyone was like "hell yeah boxing sux all about ground game!"

Pabst Blue Ribbon

Secret to PBR revealed.

I was making fun of Chuck Norris before the commercial use of the internet and long before kids knew of his existence. Same for Fonzie. Nothing else comes to mind right now.

Most of Yuengling's beers suck. The only one I liked was their Porter, but there are far better choices for Porters (my personal favorite is Deschutes Black Butte Porter). No comment on PBR, as I have no interest in ever trying their beers.

I had a feeling this would happen. Regardless of how you feel about PBR ("cool" isn't the word........ but "awesome" is. don't judge it by its fanbase) surely there are some things you used to listen to/eat/wear/etc, that got ruined by becoming a symbol of a group or a trend. bebop013

It is historically recorded that I was the first person to say Dane Cook wasn't funny. mrmusicman247

I like it, not only its taste but mostly the fact that its so cheap and if im at a BYOB party its to strong for the Nastylite/budlight crowd to take

I listened to all bands before they were famous.kamikaze_pigmy

Troll and "hate" Justin Bieber.

I've had beers with an alcohol content of 9% make me think they were only 5 or 6%. It really depends on how the beer is made. In any case, I don't think drinking Budlight over PBR is an indicator of having functioning taste buds.ColonelVodka

Trolling people8)

I played Call of Duty before it was Call of Duty.

A: i didn't say anything about the alcohol content, i was referring to the taste, since budlight and nastylite are unarguable lighter/more watered down tasting.

B: i get it, you don't like PBR your point has been made.

I hated on a lot of things before people started to hate on lots of thingslightleggy

but did you hate on haters b4 it was cool to hate on them

Play RuneScape. Of course that's no longer cool...

Could care less if PBR is considered cool or not. I like it and have always bought it when its available at the bar/store.

I bought wayfarers (Raybans) years ago and I refuse to wear them now because they are f*****g everywhere.
