Eh, they're alright. They had to deal with more bullshit than I ever had to in high school.

They had to deal with the daily threat that a school shooting could be their school. All I had to deal with was teenage girls having a war over who was hotter. Backstreet Boys, or N-Sync.

Which to be fair, if you said the wrong one to a teenage girl in the 90s, she'd be likely to flip out on you. Still though, they wouldn't pull a gun!

I'm honestly surprised that the closest we ever got to a parody boy band was Justin Timberlake singing Dick in a Box with Lonely Island. Seems like SOMEBODY should have made a parody band! Weird Al can't do EVERYTHING, ok???

What kinda hellscape country is that?

Oh wait. I know this one.

Zoomers are fine, just making fun of the concept of young people thinking Windows 3.1 couldn't connect to the internet. America Online, bitch. A/S/L? Also Zi could type my friend's phone # into Doom and it'd call his modem and we could play each other

New Kids on the Block you millennial.

You can equate your highschool experience to a war between boy band favorites.

Sounds like you had a good time in high school.

With or without, it's a personal choice
