you’d be called gay if you ever rode a bike with a helmet back then, and on top of that made fun of for wearing goggles
I agree this isn’t an old pic but this statement reads like you’ve never been offroading on a bike. The first time you’re riding and a branch hits your head when you’re blasting down a trail or get mud in your eye during a maneuver, you’ll grab that protective gear, trust me.

No i know. The point is, they wouldn’t back in the 80s unless they were pro’s. You would definetelly not be wearing one if you were trying to impress a girl back then

I don’t recall people making the heart hands before the Internet.

They were. Im sure I got some on film from the 90s and I know it was around earlier.

In what way? This photo looks like it could be both pre or post internet to me.

Hearth hand gestures + mom jeans seems pretty recent to me.

Isn’t she wearing an Apple watch?

The hand gesture is old as shit…
Valmond@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Mom jeans, oh so that’s what the jeans that makes your ass bigs name is, I didn’t know :-).

Right, I guess I mean I don’t see how the sentiment of wanting to show off for ladies has really changed that much post internet. To me this picture speaks more towards how motorcycles impacted simping, and I’m pretty sure that’s the whole reason motorcycles were invented.

I’m like 50/50 on that being a bracelet or an Apple Watch on her right wrist. Honestly judging by hour it’s not further down I’m going with Apple Watch.

The picture is clearly far too high quality for pre-internet. Technically it could be a DSLR or something, but almost certainly this was a phone camera, so it must be fairly modern.

My bad, I meant the activity depicted in the picture (popping a wheelie to try to impress a girl) could easily be from a pre-internet time.
