Kids in my primary school where talking about this, it's not exclusive to the 90's

[–] Badgernomics@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

There was a documentary I watched years ago on Netflix that said it dates back to the 70's, possibly as far backs pre 1900, but in pop culture the 70's for sure.

I think it's fair to say every kid likes to take credit for something they were shown by a grown up that they find out other kids don't know yet.

There's always that one young kid that made up a joke that everyone over the age of 10 has already heard.

Interesting Lemmino video about the S https://piped.video/watch?v=RQdxHi4_Pvc

[–] undyingarchie@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

What is this symbol? The letter S? The number 8? Zero or O twisted in the middle?

The answer: Yes.

This has been kicking around for so long, I wonder where it originally came from!

[–] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago

1890s right?

[–] Cstrrider@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Its amazing how international this S is and nobody knows where it came from. Its one of the most crucial social mysteries of the the late 20th century.

I just listened to the Denim and Leather album a few days ago.

PS. Not just the 90s. We were drawing that in the 80s also .

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

My mind was blown when I learned this was never actually associated with Stussy.

[–] finkrat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago
