Hugging girls in the hallways
damn bro u just unlocked some memories.. s***. it was all hugs in high school then u just stop
I tend to seperate the jerk era from the actual tumblr swag era
cant believe drake gifted this to tyga
swag era classic
I was Highschool during all this going to Fairfax Highschool in Los Angeles. I knew the swag trend was gonna look stupid down the line.. so glad I avoided all those waves.
Every kid was jerking and wearing neon colored skinny jeans.. getting all the b****es too...
It don’t start with New Boys imo, you gotta go back to the whole 09 freshman “hipster” movement too with people like CurrenSy Cudi and Wale influncing the fashion and releasing free mixtapes, these guys like Charles Hamilton, Blu, BoB, Asher Roth all kind of represented the idea of being yourself and that there was no one way to be a rapper, these guys were people we could see ourselves in. The first wave of Kanye’s impact really
I’m just waiting on this era to have a documentary made about it. It’s definitely time to reflect
Dudes was getting peer pressured to buy snap backs and diamond supply. Even the denim vest joints

Real ones know that they started the swag era
I mentioned this already but I didn’t include chuck and Mikey because I consider them more backpackers of the blog era than the swag era. They were a lot deeper than swag to me if that makes any sense

That’s why I said none of the examples I gave were meant to be alluded to being first but they were the ones that really pushed it in comparison to other names
Man i was so deep into this s***. By far the most embarrassing time of my life
There is beauty in the cringe tbh but literally same I lived by the swag s*** thinking I was coolest mf alive lol

I feel that
I agree no doubt just think they planted the seeds whether knowingly or unknowingly

I feel you it just felt like you pointed to them as a turning point and they were a big part of it but I think that 09 class also doesn’t get enough credit for how much they changed things. The blog era and swag era have a ton of overlap and I think that’s being overlooked here
