Yeah, I was thinking 2001 as reference point was funny. Probably the year the guy who made this gif started highschool.
I thought it was funny too
I don't remember popped collars coming back as a "cool" thing until a few years later. I started high school in 2001 and there certainly were lots of dbags in polos...but they had their collars down.

Popped collars were definitely cool in the 80s with the preppy crowd and even the nu-wave crowd. I can't remember seeing a single collar popped in the 90s.
It's funny to me how the refutations of the doomsday predictions always revolve around pointing out the flaws in the prediction, not the basic point of "None of these predictions mean shit regardless of their methodology."
I find your statement describes matters of macro-economic predictions perfectly. I am just as puzzled by those predictions as by Mayan/Nostradamus/Religious/Superstitious bullshit.

That's what I mean--I don't think their comeback (and that of a few other 80's elements) happened until more like 2004
When did people start saying "brah?" When I was growing up (1980s), no one ever said that. At least in my part of Wisconsin no one said that. Then apparently I went through a period where I wasn't paying attention, because all of a sudden I started hearing everyone finish their sentences with "brah." It still sounds weird to me, in large part because the word is so similar to "bra." (I think I've mentioned before how strongly I dislike all the words we have for women's undergarments, but that is another topic I guess.)
