There's trends I've noticed and I just wonder: when and why did these start?
1. Why are y'all wearing white Crocs?
I know Crocs have been popular for a while. They were popular while I was in high school.
But back in my days the most common colors were black or navy blue.
So when did y'all start wearing white Crocs?
Since I swear it's like 90% of the teens I've seen wearing Crocs lately have them in white.
2. And why y'all wearing socks with them?
Socks with Crocs. Noted fashion faux paus.
Yet y'all wearing socks with them.
Even socks with sandals. (Even those big fat oversized sandal-slippers I don't know the name of that seem to be getting common.)
So when did y'all whippersnappers decide socks with crocs was a good idea?
'Cause it ain't!
3. When did y'all get on the electric bike/scooter craze?
While driving around I've noticed a lot of kids using electric scooters and bikes now. And it's not just 1 kid in the group but a whole gang of y'all with the electrics.
Back in my day we powered our bikes with our darn legs!!!
And then since y'all've got the electric bikes y'all wearing those dirtbike helmets that encase your entire head in like 2 inches of plastic.
4. Switching tack, do y'all know how to turn off your cell phones or smartwatches?
Now and then I'll work events for kids that also require electronic devices turned off. There's been times I've noticed a phone that's on and after asking the teen to turn it off they're like, "I don't know how." For that matter in one case kid turned on their phone and then argued that he hadn't turned it on "because it wasn't fully on."
Same thing with smartwatches. Now in your young 'uns' defense I recently worked the same type of event recently, but with a predominantly adult populace, and they were the main case I saw of people being asked to turn off their smart watch and being like, "I don't know how." So this is a more cross-generation specific there, but same kind of query if there's a reason teens literally don't know how to turn off devices.
5. What the skibidi sigma is a 6 7 Mango?
I've seen it referenced around online. And unlike gen-alpha slang, which makes perfect sense, this one perplexes me and I'm not sure if I want to find out.
1. Yeah, its weird. I don't like normal crocs that much though anyway. I see that, but not extremely often, like y'know I see other colors of crocs too
2. I just think crocs aren't good I guess so the socks don't make me feel too much different about them
3. I don't know if I see eletrics more than standard, maybe equally? I'm not much of a fan of it personally. I think ultimately It depends on usage, if you're using an eletric bike to travel in the city and get places reliably it might be nice to have it a little faster and not get sweaty going places in the summer, but most kids are just using electric bikes/scooters for the sake of it I think. I haven't seen this all that much, but I don't go to public school, so that might be why
4. I have an Iphone 6, and there is a single button on the right (one of the sides) you hold it and a sliding power off button appears. I've never seen someone have trouble turning off their phones, but then again the general public does not turn off their phones ever, so I wouldn't be super surprised. Could be a new model thing? After all, If you can't turn it off you'll use it for longer. As for smartwatches, with minor exceptions, those can burn in hell
5. My friend group speaks English so I have no idea what that means to be honest
Gonna see the river man Gonna tell him all I can About the plan For Lilac time If he tells me all he knows About the way his river flows And all night shows In summertime

Oop...I don't think that's much of a consolation. At least it's in your house somewhere (presumably?)
