So kids are randomly screaming 6 7 and driving teachers and adults nuts.
What shit did your friend group do when you were that age?
Now I'm too old for our shit to have gone viral, so ours was hyper local. i can think of 2 things-
1- Was "The Rabbit" When we were drinking, someone would shout out _________ is the rabbit... If you were named the rabbit you would just run for your life, the non-rabbits would chase you down, tackle you, and all pile on crushing the shit out of you. It was based on this Bugs Bunny clip-
it might also explain my crying drunken rabbit avatar now that I think about it. Smart people figured out it was a good idea to be the first person to name someone else the rabbit....I was not that smart
2- was camo clothing.....I went to a school with a very wide disparity in wealth. we had amazingly rich kids and kids who were pretty fucking poor all mixed together. I imagine this happens a lot less today as the rich kids would go to private schools. Anyway the rich kids dressed in expensive preppy clothes and drove really nice cars. My group decided camo made us look bad ass and maybe made our pieces of shit cars look less shitty. So coming to school in camo was a statement of your being in the economically disadvantaged group and a show of solidarity for our side of the tracks.
It wasn't quite the Socs and the Greasers because we didn't hate and stab each other and there were definitely cross over friendships, but there was also an understanding that some had it way way way better than others.
Anyway did your friend groups have rituals or markers that made you considered part of them if you did or wore them?
