I mean in terms of fashion, hair, dance-things like that. Something you look back on & would laugh your ass off if you saw yourself.
 
Pokemon and Skateboarding. Pokemon was the worst. I collected over a thousand first print cards and then to get over the fad I gave them all away. Unaware that there was people worse then me on ebay willing to buy it, I gave it to my friend who sold them on ebay and bought a PS2 and an Xbox when they were new. Goddamn.
 
LSD.

I laughed then; I'd laugh now. For £3 you wait about 40 minutes and then spend 7-9 hours feeling too hot... oh no, too cold, sweaty palms, waffle, too hot, more waffle (look at that cow - it was there, I swear it was), I'm hungry no I'm not!, more waffle (lookit that tiny car, bet we can pick it up - aww lookit), my shoes are misbehaving and I may have an erection, stop looking at me and why are you walking in a straight line?, I wonder what the rest of the world is doing - shh, you'll wake em up!

It was fun at the time :huh:
 
POGS, of course. Quite possibly the most pointless, time, money and energy consuming fad ever. Toward the tail end of elementary school, there was a POG mafia at my school, and my closest friend was the POG Godfather. He basically took people's POGS, sold them for profit, and gave like 10 percent of the profit he'd made off other people's POGS to those people, keeping 50 percent for himself, and doling out the other 40 percent in the form of POGS or change he was paid in to his helpers.

He had like, kid goons that shook down people for POGS or POG money owed, it was...interesting.
 
I truly regret my Jheri curl. It took like a day to get done, it was a b**** to maintain, all the spraying & glops of gel & crap in my hair. Then I combed the front into bangs, which broke out my skin from that greasy crap sitting on my forehead. Then came "Coming To America", the movie which I hold singularly responsible for discrediting & destroying that hairstyle altogether.
 
I regret how anti-social I was as a teenager. It was a waste of effort to be anti-social and it only served to make me more depressed.

Yeah... We all regret that even ever existed.

I use to have a Gumby fade :o
 
Cross Colours. Looking back, that **** was just a mess.

Anyone besides me remember those shirts with the Looney Tunes and other cartoon characters wearing baggy clothes and sneakers?
 
Rat-tails. It's like a ponytail but only has a thin line of hair instead of the full collection. Oddly enough I just thought of a similarity, the padawan braid from star wars looks alot like that :p
 
There's a picture of me at age 15 wearing canary yellow harem pants. I have to thank my oldest sister for posting that one.
 
Pokemon. Give me a break, I was 10.
 
I had a rat tail when I was really little (like 4-5 years old). Then I had a bowl cut from like 6 to 12 years old. Ug...
 
Spiked hair
rolled pant legs
fluorescent colored clothing
tie-die clothing.
 
Pokemon. I wouldnt be so upset if they could actually get me some money, but no one gives a flying **** anymore.
 
Soap shoes
