A lot of the things, being emo/goth was cool back in the day. Don't see a whole lot of people doing that style anymore. Having a whole bunch of tats use to be considered cool now it's just kinda norm in society, especially bands people most likely expect them to have tats.
Boy bands definitely use to be cool but are only cool in Korea these days. older games and tv shows like dragon ball etc..
Game boys, the DS
PSP
Gameboy emulator
Connector sketch pens
everything 90's

I could spend 15 minutes on jeans alone haha. Baggy jeans, colored jeans (I had green, maroon, fuckin’ PURPLE😝) and my matching colored denim vests lmfao (I can’t even tell you how cool I thought I was in those outfits🤣), the cool brands were like Marithé-François Girbaud, Tommy Hilfiger, etc.
I remember guys wearing Africa pendants and Flavor Flav clock necklaces sometimes. Fuckin’ 8-BALL JACKETS, holy fuck lmao. Starter brand sports team anything (now available at Walmart lmfao), especially the pullover winter jackets, could get you beaten and robbed, literally.
The brand Cross Colours was EVERYTHING.
Also loved these pants called Skidz, they were basically pajama pants/shorts that you wore outside that cost $40 in 1990-dollars lmao, and they just had a patch on the back pocket that’s the standard “Caution: Slippery Road Ahead” street sign.
Also, I just saw Greta Van Fleet live the other night, and they are legit ROCK STARS, just outstanding. However, besides them, I’d be hard pressed to name you a current popular rock band, that genre seems to have disappeared from the mainstream. I listened mostly to rap and R&B growing up, but I’d say rock/alternative/grunge still had a bigger following. Those were the kids I’d get in fights with at school lmfao.
I could really go on all day with this, haha. I remember wearing a lot of hockey jerseys for a couple years. Reebok Pump sneakers were insanely hot in the streets. Slap bracelets were big for a year. Another year we were all wearing these colored-plastic baby pacifiers you got from gumball machines on strings around our necks lmao.
Some activities are out of style too. I don’t think hanging out at the mall is really much of a thing anymore. Same with arcades. I actually wonder what teenagers do for fun now, haha. Like we went places and did things, I feel like you just go over someone’s house now and text and watch Netflix, and swipe through Tinder, and you only go outside once in a while to “do it for the ‘gram”, haha. I don’t know, maybe I’m off base, I should ask a question about that sometime.
But yeah...”when I was a kid” was a long time ago now, so pretty much everything thing is out, except for the stuff they brought back in style. I saw a young girl in Fila sneakers on the subway the other night and it warmed my heart and soul lmao.
JAMS were popular when I was about 5 years old. They were really colorful shorts with weird patterns...

Parted hair, I guess it's called curtain hair cut.

Speaking of men's fashion: The Saturday Night Fever look. Double knit, three piece suits with bell-bottom pants. Long, pointed shirt collars. Gold medallions on chain necklaces. Styled hair.
I was a rocker when that shit came out, so I despised it then and still do.
I didn't follow the crowd so everything I liked back then, I still like now. Only sheep and followers say stuff like "why do you like that? It isn't cool anymore... lame".
I still like oldschool punk, I still play CDs, I still collect cassette tapes, I still dress vintage etc.
Baggy jeans
Dress shoes with a thick sole and a thick heel lol
Buckle over laces

(and a little later) Polyester leisure suits that melted if you tried to iron them.
I'm going to go with MTV which was actual MUSIC TELEVISION back in the day, no rap booty popping crap they show now.
Comedy central used to be funny and filled with... comedy
TV Land was cool back then too
I've noticed it's become a thing for people to wear clothes (like pants) that look like they're too small for them. When i was young we called them "high waters" and ask people if they were waiting for a flood. Now people do it deliberately. Smh lol
Spiky hair, at least I thought it was, as I had my hair like that for years.
I used to have the black shirt with flames on it, that I wore a few times and I'm pretty sure I thought that look cool.
Bring low riders back pls.
Selfies used to actually be considered cool and deep, like your own personal model portfolio, back during the mid 2000s when I was a preteen. Now it makes you look like a loser. Everyone wants interesting group photos.
Pogs were big when I was a kid as well as the original super marios game which was 2-D.
Mp3 players and CDs, and hannah montana. As a kid i had a hannah montana obsession but now i hate that bitch 😂
I took care of these little shits like they were my own.

Gameboys
Furbies (they scare the shit out of me still)

-coach purses
-abercrombie and fitch (all i wore)
-razr cell phones/blackberries/ and sidekick cell phones
Hannah Montana and all other disney tv movies, heelies, thin eye brows, colored contacts, backstreet boys, kesha, nerf
As a teenager it was Hanson, tamagotchi and jnco jeans. When I was really young (like 7-ish) it was slap bracelets and New Kids on the Block
this hairsyle
Nightclubs were cool to me when I was young. Until I discovered a lot of drugs took place n date-rape as a unfortunate result. Night clubs n stuff are OK but not when they are abused like that. Nowadays I prefer the alternative scene
