TSR Community...Do you think these things are cool?

Scroll to see replies

A lot of this makes me cringe tbh :lol:

I think Mummy Merkel would have short shrift with it.

Please god no-one say they like this stuff, or we're going to end up with 'polls on underboobs' or '5 ways to Hack your Balayage' in the widget... And there's enough crap in there already.

If they're cool to you, why do you love them?

If they're not cool, why?

Note: We are definitely not advocating drug or alcohol usage but wanted to find out whether in society these things are considered popular.

I would only say like 6 of those things are cool. Most of them are reallyy not

No clue what a "yeet" is. Nor platform trainers. Dungarees are just dungarees. Don't like iPhones. Don't know what 5 and 6 are. Don't meme anything. Don't say "lit" or "AF" (which means what...?). Don't use Snapchat. Like dogs, don't have one, think it would be nice to have one, not cool. Animals shouldn't be trendy. Gap years, travelling around Asia are also nice, not cool. Skipping the one I don't know... Avocados are definitely considered cool. By other people. I've just been eating them in a normal way. Beards are ok. I like the sea? Don't use Instagram, Twitter or Netflix. Would like to skateboard. Seeing an adult on a scooter always strikes me as funny. Eyebrow-shaping is stupid. Balayage = sweeping? Skip, skip, skip... Assuming you mean artisanal burgers, guess they're better than fast food ones at least. What is deconstructed food? Don't mind unicorns, but not going to decorate my bedroom with them. Never understood this mania with being healthy. What is it you people eat all the time that's unhealthy? As for hot yoga...nah, prefer cold yoga. Male feminists are probably better than female ones, but... Protein shakes are disgusting. At least the ones I've tried. Skip, skip, skip... I think veganism is going a bit far. Provided you can get milk, honey, and eggs from well-treated animals, I don't see the problem. Pink hair might be fun. More skipping... (getting loads of exercise here) Kardashians are absolutely deplorable. Vaping stinks. Body hair is body hair, leave it alone. Avoid embarking on a body positivity discussion... Don't know what bindis is/are, but yay glitter. Environmentalism is good, tattoos are if you want them, David Attenborough is one of the two people (along with Gandhi) who I'd say are my role-models. Vampires, zombies, dystopia, bleh. Why depress/scare yourself. Crop tops are too cropped for me. Plants are always nice. Minimalism can be ok. Interior design? What about it? And yes, I've noticed the mania with rose-gold, flamingoes and pineapples. Strange. Football's fun. Communism's a bit extreme. Mindfulness is good. So's being a musician. There's no such thing as a "life hack", just using your brain or not doing so. I knit. Fake tan = the weirdo on the other side of the pond. Drugs, no. Piercings, not personally, but why not.

Can't believe I just wasted a whole load of time writing that...
