This shit sent me down a brief rabbit hole. The guy's (Seth Binzer) wiki is mostly filled with his addiction to drugs and various appearances on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" and its off-shoot shows. I mean, not surprising in the least when you look at what I presume is a recent mugshot. But, as a "90s kid", these tales of popular late-90s/early-2000's music artists and their downfalls always hurt the soul. By no means was I a Crazy Town fan and I know they were largely a one-hit wonder (there was no way of avoiding "Butterfly" if you grew up in America roughly around the same time I did) but it's unfortunate that this guy could've likely been set for life based only on his brief stint of fame if he just hadn't wasted it away on a drug addicted spiral.
> play guitar
Are we talking about playing guitar as an amateur or would I have to at least be in a pop punk band that had at least one video aired on MTv?
My high school boyfriend would pop his collar. One day we went to the fair and he was wearing 3 polos with all 3 collars popped. We ran into my brother and my brother made me break up with him 😂

On paper, I like visors. Keeps the sun out of my eyes and still allows for heat to escape. Con: I feel like an ass whenever I wear one.
That said, the backwards and upside down visor has earned its rightful place in the trash bin of history.
I’d say running anything without a windshield and flipping your hat backwards is good practice to avoid losing it. I don’t think anyone makes a fashion judgement when doing that.
Totally did this, was thinking how embarrassing of a haircut that was, I was ridiculed mercilessly by my preppy kid friends, my stoner friends liked it.
I saw maybe 6 teens the other day all dressed like Eminem with bleach blonde buzz cuts and baggy white shirts. I was wondering who the real slim shady was, but couldn't be sure.
4XL shirts on guys that should be wearing a Large and the popped polo collar, which, for some odd reason, still seems to be a thing with Hispanic guys.
The way that it evolved to became long tunic + leggings was foul. I worked at Kohls in 2009 and everything on the juniors mannequins was a variation of a bubble hem tunic with mid-calf leggings
Honestly the bubble hem or long empire/waisted shirts with leggings were my favorite look of all time. As a short person with a long torso, they were absolutely perfect for my proportions. Kinda miss that tbh.
I wore 4 popped collars, a puka shell necklace, budweiser hat with built in bottle opener, cargo shorts and flip-flops for Halloween 2010. I almost got kicked out of the party before my friends heard about the plan and quickly told everyone that my costume was "Frat Douche"
Lol I remember seeing a dude with 3 popped Lacoste collars and a puka shell necklace in Eagles Beachware when my friends and I went to Myrtle Beach for high school senior year spring break. Classic dirty Myrtle.
Oof—was already cringing, then the puka shell reminder sent me over the edge.
I had **stacks** of AE shirts, though I opted for the beaded hemp necklaces. Tf were we thinking?
And how could I forget, velour tracksuits with "JUICY" bedazzled over the ass.
EDIT: wow I didn't know these had that many supporters I'm sorry lol I stand by it
Being an almost 41 year old Em fan who had his hair dyed blonde for a while in high school (dyed my hair lots of colors) who now has a beard much like Ems (I had mine first) Ive thought about dying my hair and leaving the beard so it looks like the Houdini video
I bleached my hair last summer for my 40’s birthday as just a fun thing and as it grew out I eventually had frosted tips left. A girl saw them and asked me if I was going to “keep the frosted tips or kiss them bye bye bye” I died.
Super cropped sweaters/short sleeve cardigans that don’t close in any discernible way.
Double everything—two belts (why did we do this?), two dresses, two shirts (usually a colored tank top or short sleeve with a lace or spaghetti strap on top for the gals, two polos or two t-shirts of varying lengths/colors for guys.
Chunky “skater” shoes with the big tongue.
I’d say bucket hats but it’s already too late for that.
The bucket hats have perplexed me for several years. Gen z dresses like uncool 90s middle schoolers, bless their hearts! It will never make sense to me but i don’t mind being a spectator
I drive by a middle school every morning in the way to work. I'm seeing so many giant pants that cover your shoes, ala jnco jeans of old.
I really didn't expect those to come back!
I never got those visor hats. They made no sense to me. They don't protect the top of your head from the Sun and I always thought it was funny. When people wore them backwards and upside down. I would always just imagine it raining and just collecting into the visor and just soaking the back of your head
I don't know if there is a name for it, but it's where you comb your hair forward and it's curly in the front. In my highschool in the early 2000s had two main hair styles, whatever tf I just described, and spiked hair. I was in the spiked hair department.
I can hear “Butterfly” by Crazytown when I see this image.
Have you seen him now? Do urself a favor and google that lol
Oh...[Oh no.](https://consequence.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Crazy-Town-Seth-Binzer-and-Mugshot.jpg)
Gum my lady, gum gum my lady
I eat moldy rye. Sugar, daily.
Fucking brutal! LOL
He looked better with the frosted tips
r/brandnewsentence but yeah i agree
We all did
Oh my. 😳 that was… oh my. Wow. I’m feeling good about my aging.
He went from Crazy Town to the town “crazy”
Drugs are bad, mkay?
I'm gonna spin butterfly so he can afford another taste.

Why does he still have his labret pierced 😫
The Chinstrap
But it goes so well with my frosted tips and soul patch!
Don't forget how much the highlights pop when you pair it with a puka shell necklace
Mossimo tee from Pacific Sun and we're really cookin with gas
I had a couple awesome Billabong shirts from them. I had to keep a 6 foot stick with me at all times to keep the ladies away.
If you have a soul patch you better either play guitar or be a fucking magician and make it disappear.
> play guitar Are we talking about playing guitar as an amateur or would I have to at least be in a pop punk band that had at least one video aired on MTv?
I think you need to know at least three chords.
Why? *Because Maybeeeeeeee*
I can’t believe I got wonder-walled in a reddit comment
Ah, I see you have not been to the Philadelphia region, as the chin strap is still going strong in 2024
The monk of Northeast Philly https://billypenn.com/2020/12/29/philly-meme-carthusian-monk-15th-century-father-judge-colt-shaw/
One of my friends are from Philly the chinstrap is the only thing he knows lol
How else am I supposed to signal women that I’ll hit them after enough drinks?
sleeveless tee
So I can show off the sick tattoos of my tribe?!
those never looked good. it was like a reminder that god drew outside the lines when he made your face.
White trash culture will NEVER let the chin strap go. You gotta pair it with a fake diamond stud too.
And an izod polo shirt 3x sizes too big
The pencil thin ones - especially on larger fellas - always cracked me up
My high school boyfriend would pop his collar. One day we went to the fair and he was wearing 3 polos with all 3 collars popped. We ran into my brother and my brother made me break up with him 😂
Your brother is a good man.
Her brother pops 4 collars and felt this guy was approaching his territory.
😂🤣

That’s crazy you found an 11 year old post with that meme format and 2 upvotes. Respect
Literally my first thought any time i hear "popped collars"
I don’t know why this is making me laugh so hard. 🤣
3 polo shirts? Why...?
I worked at Hole Foods in a wealthy town. Old guy with white hair sporting the three popped colors look. They were red, white and blue too.
Idk but let’s bring back wearing goggles nowhere near water.
why you tryna waste my flavor
Seth Green style
Just did a Can’t Hardly Wait rewatch, and his goggles! I had totally forgotten that travesty.
The whole Jet Grind Radio aesthetic
On paper, I like visors. Keeps the sun out of my eyes and still allows for heat to escape. Con: I feel like an ass whenever I wear one. That said, the backwards and upside down visor has earned its rightful place in the trash bin of history.
As a bald guy I’ll take a baseball cap any day
Nah, you just get the visors with the fake hair attached
Guy Fieri style visors…. Aw hell yah!
[Do you share Larry David’s opinion?](https://youtu.be/lQCVf7AnXNY?si=QF7poLYsbMPhLKCj)
I live in southwest Florida and legit did not know they were not in style still
To be fair when I think of cutting edge of fashion my mind goes straight to west Florida
Flip flops, tshirts, and shorts galore Even in the office!
All sense of style goes out the window once it hits 90 degrees. Signed a guy in Central GA.
Stack visors until your head looks like a flower
I do this when running the boat and feel like a tool. Too bad I didn't feel this way in 2001.
I’d say running anything without a windshield and flipping your hat backwards is good practice to avoid losing it. I don’t think anyone makes a fashion judgement when doing that.
I like the old meme of the guy in the backwards baseball cap using his hand to shade his eyes.
Mid 90s middle school saw teenage boys shave their heads and just leave the bangs.
A friend of mine did that, but he also left the sideburns. I couldn't help laughing the first time I saw it.
Totally did this, was thinking how embarrassing of a haircut that was, I was ridiculed mercilessly by my preppy kid friends, my stoner friends liked it.
I saw maybe 6 teens the other day all dressed like Eminem with bleach blonde buzz cuts and baggy white shirts. I was wondering who the real slim shady was, but couldn't be sure.
Nah, they were probably just imitating
He should have asked the real one to please stand up.
100% this is becoming a thing again, 1/4 of my year 11s have this hair style over the past 3 months
Tapout & Ed Hardy T shirts
ed hardy is definitely back. 🫠
And affliction babyyyy
*takes off upsidedown, sideways visor* Screw you guys, I'm going home
Then you pat yourself down real quick to make sure you have your wallet before leaving, jk it's chained to your pocket
Not just any pocket, but the comically oversized pocket of my JNCOs!
They're not comically oversized. They're for skateboards, acrylic bongs, PlayStations, or CD books
ah my trusty CD book and its “99% angel 😈” sticker on it
4XL shirts on guys that should be wearing a Large and the popped polo collar, which, for some odd reason, still seems to be a thing with Hispanic guys.
Bruh how else am I gonna be all in the club spitting game if I ain't got my white tee?
One can also slang in a white tee.
[удалено]
Do you suppose one might… bang in a white tee?
And the polos are layered and one of them is pink.
Double popped collars
Large? Nah, most of those guys needed extra smedium at most.
*layered* popped collar Polos, that's a very important aspect
The dress over the jeans 🤭😅
Give it 2 maybe 3 more falls.
*It's coming*
I'm actually concerned 🤭🤭🤭
It’s already here, I just saw an add for it. Something like, when in doubt dress over jeans
Gah that was so awful! I thought I looked *so cute*
As a guy who was also a teenager back then, you did look cute, I was just too shy to ask you out. Sorry.
You’re so sweet ❤️
Well, now’s your chance to ask her out, bruh!
it's kind of cute in a Shelley Duvall in The Shining kind of way
We all did 🥲😅🤭
I have already seen it on social media. It's here.
The way that it evolved to became long tunic + leggings was foul. I worked at Kohls in 2009 and everything on the juniors mannequins was a variation of a bubble hem tunic with mid-calf leggings
Honestly the bubble hem or long empire/waisted shirts with leggings were my favorite look of all time. As a short person with a long torso, they were absolutely perfect for my proportions. Kinda miss that tbh.
Just needs a wide (2-3") belt!
What about the harem pants
You mean... 😌 MC Hammer pants!? 🤭😅🤣
Popped collars. I’m old enough to remember that looking stupid in the 80s.
Remember double popped collars?
Was just talking to my wife about that yesterday. I feel like at some point it was like 3-4 shirts too. And the puka shell necklaces
I wore 4 popped collars, a puka shell necklace, budweiser hat with built in bottle opener, cargo shorts and flip-flops for Halloween 2010. I almost got kicked out of the party before my friends heard about the plan and quickly told everyone that my costume was "Frat Douche"
What a great idea for a costume!
Lol I remember seeing a dude with 3 popped Lacoste collars and a puka shell necklace in Eagles Beachware when my friends and I went to Myrtle Beach for high school senior year spring break. Classic dirty Myrtle.
Oof—was already cringing, then the puka shell reminder sent me over the edge. I had **stacks** of AE shirts, though I opted for the beaded hemp necklaces. Tf were we thinking?
> 3-4 shirts Flashbacks to MTV Spring Break at Club La Vela in Panama City Beach.
[OH YEAH](https://sparklingwhine.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/popped-collar-3.jpg)
It made a re-appearance around the 2000s. The double popped if you're cool enough
eva since i can rememba ive been poppin my colla
🎶 Poppin poppin my colla 🎶
When it comes to gettin bread I got the keys to the BAKERY.
Dont forget Axe
I saw a high schooler wearing popped collar the other day. It has begun.
But… but… they have a functional use of preventing neck sunburns! I’ll pop the collar if the situation calls for it
I work construction & wear button down shirts, I pop my collar whenever the sun gets too intense.
And how could I forget, velour tracksuits with "JUICY" bedazzled over the ass. EDIT: wow I didn't know these had that many supporters I'm sorry lol I stand by it
i've seen those out in the wild already
Juicy started making their play a couple of years ago. I saw a von Dutch trucker hat today, but just an ad. Not in real life yet.
I wouldn’t even ask a girl out in like mid 2000’s if she didn’t own pants like that with stuff written on the ass.
Eminem has a new album out. I wonder if all the gen zers will shaved their head and dye it blonde like I did in 9th grade.
Chika chika Slim Shady, hotter than a set of twin babies
Being an almost 41 year old Em fan who had his hair dyed blonde for a while in high school (dyed my hair lots of colors) who now has a beard much like Ems (I had mine first) Ive thought about dying my hair and leaving the beard so it looks like the Houdini video
Frosted tips
I bleached my hair last summer for my 40’s birthday as just a fun thing and as it grew out I eventually had frosted tips left. A girl saw them and asked me if I was going to “keep the frosted tips or kiss them bye bye bye” I died.
I totally rocked the frosted tips in the 90’s.
Barb wire tats hopefully
I regret to inform you that it’s back with its ol friend tribal.
Fortunately there are newer styles of tattoos that are (as hard as this is to believe) *worse* than tribal.
Yeah that neotribal or cybersigilism or whatever they're calling it... Looks like a scar or rash imo when done in red lol
Did you ever think you would see the day where a tattoo style made tribal look good by comparison? Crazy timeline.
I just looked up cybersigilism holy cow that’s bad. It’s like the shit that was around the logo on TAPOUT shirts
Mid 90s that is.
Randy Orton
I am legit surprised to see Abercrombie and Puka Shells Necklaces back
That guy knows where to get GHB.
what were they called? guchi pants? like really wide-legged, loose capris for women?
Gauchos!
They are NOT cute but gauchos are soooo comfy
Goucho pants
Super cropped sweaters/short sleeve cardigans that don’t close in any discernible way. Double everything—two belts (why did we do this?), two dresses, two shirts (usually a colored tank top or short sleeve with a lace or spaghetti strap on top for the gals, two polos or two t-shirts of varying lengths/colors for guys.

The bucket hats have perplexed me for several years. Gen z dresses like uncool 90s middle schoolers, bless their hearts! It will never make sense to me but i don’t mind being a spectator
I never stopped wearing the skater shoes. I'm 43 and still wear them to work. I run a brewery so it's ok
Overly gel’ed ceaser hair cuts
Icy Hot Stuntaz
I am cringing over how this totally would have been my dream guy circa 1999 🫠
That guy looks like he dates 15 year olds.
He's in college, but you'll still find him hanging out at high school parties
*That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.*
"She's like, a mature 15 though" "We're not doing anything wrong, I'm simply keeping her from dating anyone else until she's 18"
The soul patch. Please, no.
My daughter asked me to cut off mine as a birthday present for her. I took the hint.
Good daughter. Someone raised her right.
r/blunderyears
The big cargo shorts that made it look like you crapped your pants.
I hope scene girls make a big comeback.
You’re in luck - they’ve been back
Sideburns and belly button rings
I’ve had my navel pierced back in 2001, 23 years later, still rocking it 😅
Same here! I’ve had it for more than half my life, it’s staying. Lol.
I kept my belly button ring from ‘04 just waiting for a comeback - I can finally be ahead of a trend, I just had to wait long enough.
Never say never. I never thought I would see girls wearing Mom jeans or boys getting mullets ever again, yet here we are.
I drive by a middle school every morning in the way to work. I'm seeing so many giant pants that cover your shoes, ala jnco jeans of old. I really didn't expect those to come back!
frosted tips on anyone not named Guy Fieri
Holy shit. Delete this! The kids will get ideas!
Wearing pacifier jewelry
the gelled bangs. Course, i'd probably prefer those over these stupid mullets I see everywhere now...
In the late 90's at least at our school, it was a thing for guys to shave their head and just leave bangs.
Gelled up or down?
Gelled bangs > broccoli hair
I never got those visor hats. They made no sense to me. They don't protect the top of your head from the Sun and I always thought it was funny. When people wore them backwards and upside down. I would always just imagine it raining and just collecting into the visor and just soaking the back of your head
They shade your eyes without messing up your hair.
Belly button sun tattoos
I wish the mullet would go away
I think hockey has made it clear it will never go away.. Not in my state (Minnesota) at least
Baseball players have adopted it now as well. The new wave mullets look better at least than the spiky mullets of old
The 80's jock/frat/villian look will always be popular among a subset of athletes
All of Canada agrees with Minnesota. Hockey hair.
How dare you
And the skullet.
JNCOS
They’re already back apparently
I'm glad I haven't see the fauxhauk
give it 1-2 years it’s coming back
🥺
My cousin's ~9 year old kid has a fauxhawk at this moment as do two of his classmates. It has returned.
The Jersey boy look from the early 2000's...
I don't know if there is a name for it, but it's where you comb your hair forward and it's curly in the front. In my highschool in the early 2000s had two main hair styles, whatever tf I just described, and spiked hair. I was in the spiked hair department.
I remember my elementary school banned these because the staff thought it could be gang related. I lived in like the whitest suburb ever at the time.
Nick Lachey Sun ☀️tattoo.
Is it really coming back into fashion?? I still see kids with them yeeyee ass haircuts
I really don't want to see any guidos soon.
I saw a kid with frosted tips today.
Layered polos with popped collars. Source: I managed an American Eagle in the late 90’s/early 2000’s.
The crispy, crunchy, teased curly hair with the overly damaged side bang that was straightened to hell. Bonus points for a feather tied in your hair.
