do kids in highschool still wear their backpack on one shoulder

[BustedS13]

i just found my old backpack from some point in highschool and one of the straps is completely destroyed, but the other still looks new. is it still cool to wear only one shoulder? or has that just evolved into the messenger bag, and now all the cool kids have gay man purses and all the nerds still use both straps?

i'm so fucking old.

[udon!]

i use both staps lulz. i wear my backpack really high for some reason. its just me i guess....

[BustedS13]

i actually completely stopped using my backpack like halfway through junior year, and left everything in my locker. i think i liked using my locker more because it was in a stairwell and i got the number i requested, 666.

god i'm old. and i was/am a huge fucking nerd.

[udon!]

^
nerds FTW.

[Touge Noob S13]

The style now is to use both straps but pull them all the way up so your backpack covers your full back and doesnt hang loosely.

[udon!]

^

thats wat i do lol


yay i have effortless style mofuckas

[BustedS13]

The style now is to use both straps but pull them all the way up so your backpack covers your full back and doesnt hang loosely.

so the new style is to wear it properly?

do a lot of kids have messenger bags? do they get the shit kicked out of them? god i hope so.

here in the east coast, i was probably the only one at my school to do it, but everyone else started to lol

[Okinawandrifter87]

Haha I soooooooo remember when it was cool to wear it all the way down and or also just on one shoulder!! I wear both straps and all the way up now! woot woot lol

[!Zar!]

FYI, JanSport is trying to reinvent themselves to be cool and hip.

So they are teaming up with multiple streetwear brands and doing colabs.

[w0nderbr3ad]

In high school one of my strap buckles broke in half so I just used one. Another guy had a backpack but had a thick velcro strap going across diagonnally to the other side.

[Fries]

I used to wear it all the way down, but I hated getting hit from having it so low. I decided to just start wearing it normal. Not WAY high like all the weird ass kids with like cookie monster/powerranger backpacks, just normal.

Only did the one strap if I had to book it somewhere.

Pretty sure my Jansport cost me $12 3 years ago.

Yeah. Some do have them not a lot though. A small minority even have the backpacks with the wheels and the handle, those are fun to kick lol.

[dat411kid]

I remember when these bags were all the rage...

next you're going to tell me kids don't wear boot cut jeans anymore. or Lee Pipes.

there was exactly ONE girl in my highschool who used a backpack with wheels. it was the funniest thing ever to see her bolting from class to class rolling that thing behind her with a wave of people turning and laughing as she went. she's probably dead now i bet.

also, weren't those basic Jansport bags like 20 bucks a few years ago? i had one freshman year. took the Jansport patch off and replaced it with a Limp Bizkit patch. even sewed it on, so it was like a Limp Bizkit brand backpack.
did it all for the nookie.
you know.

i also remember freshmen who had those bags from like CCS mailorder with the skateboard strap. their parents would drop them off and they'd get out of the Expedition with this backpack with the skateboard hanging from it. like they brought it for show and tell or something.

[SochBAT]

In highschool, I always wore it high up. never got in the way when you ran from the school proctors. haha.

Fuck, my ditching days were awesome. Run down the hill, thru the shire, and smoke a doobie on the way. Grab In-n-Out, see a proctor or 2. Good times.

Random Story - This one time, i was ditching, and this chick that dug me wanted to join, so I says cool. We ditch, and its her first time smoking MEDICINAL, ever. So she takes it in, then starts freaking out, BATSHIT. I tell her to relax, she trips, calls her parents, and then they take her to the hospital. Fucking retarded. They were going to sue, but she got em to drop what ever they tried to do. I never spoke to her again. Until she sent boob shots.

[flip3d]

We used to take the front pockets off the Jansports and tag em up.

[BustedS13]

DO WHAT

mine had like a suede bottom, i guess for durability. made a great surface for like a hundred NIN's and KMFDM logos. i can't count how many times i had to explain what "industrial" was because of my stupid adhd backpack.

[iROYAL]

There's a cheaper version of the Jansport backpack, I can't remember the brand.

You can just remove the tags, and the only way to tell it wasn't a Jansport is to check the zipper handle because they were wavey instead of straight.

[HyperTek]

my school didnt have lockers *besides gym/football locker room*, we had to lug our shit around.. sucked if you played sports cuz you might of had a backpack and a sports bag with your equipment in it.

[singlecamslam]

I remember back in high school it was cool to steal hood badges and glue them on your back pack.

[SochBAT]

^^

NO. It was never cool.

It was ricer as fuck.

You know what I did to people that did that shit?

SuperGlue theri backpacks shut, from the zipper on. And cut the straps.

Fucktards.

[chitownguy]

Shit I've been wearing my backpack up high since sophomore year in h.s., both straps too.

I hate those kids with messenger bags though. There pretty useless, you can't even fit that much in them. Just give me a simple $20 (now $45) backpack that'll fuck up my back and I'm good.

[Touge Noob S13]

Were you in your school's anime club lol

[mavericksniper]

I just use a binder because i don't carry that much stuff around.

[BustedS13]

nah. TECHNOLOGY LEADERS THOUGH, FUCK YEAAAAHHHHHH

[playthe_part]

i never used a backpack in highschool, i kept everything in one binder and all my books in a locker.

all the 'cool' kids had like spongebob and various other cartoon backpacks for like 6 year olds at my highschool, and i bet those same people drive hawaiian punch/dr pepper/mc donalds/whatever donks now. they also tagged their backpack straps, lol.

[krazyfil]

well i carry a duffle bag around... but i play basketball at the college so i have my ball and shoes.. the only classes im taking are automotive classes so i can leave my shit in class

[Teddy]

This was my backpack in highschool. I got a newer version Senior year though.

Of course it was pulled all the way up.

[HyperTek]

i saw a teen walking in front of walmart wearing a spongebob backpack.

[murda-c]

first i had the jansport

then i had some canvas messenger bag i found at a flea market

then i had some cool leather satchel that i found at a yard sale

then junior and senior year i left my books in the respective classrooms and carried around a slim notebook with a file folder in the front cover.

god i was lame.

i saw a teen walking in front of walmart wearing a spongebob backpack.

i don't understand that one.

dudes 16 and up wearing looney toons and spongebob backpacks and mcdonalds toy watches and shit.

I really don't wanna advertise that i bought a happy meal.

[FRpilot]

Not WAY high like all the weird ass kids with like cookie monster/powerranger backpacks, just normal.


don't forget ninja turtle and spongebob.

don't understand it when i see college men wearing tall tees with lollipops in their mouths and using these character accessory backpacks.

took the Jansport patch off and replaced it with a Limp Bizkit patch. even sewed it on, so it was like a Limp Bizkit brand backpack.

i remember kids use to steal honda emblems off cars and glue? sew? them on their jansport backpacks.

[SochBAT]

I broke everyone's honda/Toyota/Nissan signs they had on their backpacks.

So retarded.

[ayuaddict]

i had a binder.

wasn't really into school so i didn't go much.

to this day i dont really regret it, got my GED and "graduated" early went straight to working.

[Matej]

Never got around to spending the money on a cool dark/hip/army/beige/boring/alt bag that would fit my personality, so I just left all my books in the locker/car, like all the popular girls did.

[RiversideS13]

i didn't bring backpack to school when i was in high school. i just bring a binder and a Ti-85 calculator for games. this is like 96-00 btw

at that time
it is cool that you have a pager
it is cool that you have 17" wheels
it is cool that you have a integra or prelude
someone you know has a fast eclipse
rave parties were fun
oversize shirts and baggy pants
Clear corner lights are in

you or your friend's car had missing emblem

Yep, this all sounds pretty familiar.

I think I recall having a Helly Hansen backpack in HS. I had one of the early Supreme backpacks, an olive green one, but I'm pretty sure I didn't have that until after I was out of HS.


My brain is still totally stuck in 99-00, btw. I still feel like the EK Civic is a new car, like I'm waiting for new rumors about the PS2 launch, etc. It's a sad condition indeed. Everything after that just feels like a blur.

[ak47johnson]

and a Ti-85 calculator for games.
Im in high school now and i still love using it for that. Mario owns all. haha

But at my school, having the backpacks completely loose is the trend. The only ones i see with cartoon character backpacks really high up are the people in the drama club or people who just want attention.

Biggest trend at my school now is boat shoes and american eagle khakis (really preppy private school).

I had an Independent backpack for a while. Skateboard strap incase I needed it, right?

[kOuKi MoNsTaRr]

last time i remember wearing a backpack was when i was either going to rack paint from home depot or clothes from the gap


good times

[shade]

Oh man, I was to Six Flags this summer and saw this douche sporting a family size Rice Krispies box as a back pack. He actually put straps on it and made a custom flap like a bag. He thought he was the shit with it while sporting his cap etched with the words "I'm a jerk."

fuck yeah, shit could take a beating...i had one backpack from 8th to 12th , same one, never failed me, and when the straps finally gave way on a camping trip, SEATBELT STRAPS! and seat belt velcro coushins for comfort... :trogdor:

[BustedS13]

ooh. i found my ti-83+ last night, too. gonna play some mario. and dope wars. just gotta find some batteries.

when i was in highschool, i carried around one marble notebook with a bunch of papers shoved in the middle of it. who needs books?

[Azimmer]

i live down the street from a high school and from what i see kids dont even wear back packs cause half of em dont even stay long enough to make it to class

[cxlo8331]

two straps.
always.
tried the messenger bag in high school for a bit,
did not like it at all.

got a messenger bag for work.
it's alright, serously thinking about reverting to two straps again.

[Azimmer]

when i was in school it was way cool to wear it allllllll the way down then later on it was allllll the way up haha

[Enna]

Had friends that had Bob the builder backpacks, jansports that were all tagged up, those single strap gap backpacks, messenger bags, all that shit. I rocked a single white 3" binder. Kept the other shit in my corolla I had back then. Still pulled C's and up, and I still dont know how.

[ro240sx]

as a kid it was if u had the most pockets and a water bottle holder in ur backpack it was cool.

then came the rollin ones which i hated.

but yeah i always one strappin my backpack

[bloodangels13]

I rocked a ugp skatepark backpack my junior and senior year.. and a big ass independant sk8park backpack sophmore year. I still have both and they both are in good shape..

def highschool thing for me was to take the pyrimid studs from my studded belt when i fell apart and put them onthe straps of my backpack

and two straps always... even clip the two together sometimes depending on my mood or load

[HyperTek]

i dont mind the messenger bags or 2 strap traditionals, i alternated between the 2, but when todays teens are rocking lil childrens backpacks? wtf!

[Enna]

Seriously, its like screaming "I am sofa king we todd ed!".

[ZenkiKid]

The style now is to use both straps but pull them all the way up so your backpack covers your full back and doesnt hang loosely.

thats been the style forever now, I was doing it in 7th grade and im currently a jr in college

Jr high/high school = Jansports.

currently using a a Dakine bag that has a laptop pocket and its the shit.

[DALAZ_68]

people over complicated shit, u dont need a thousand pockets on ur back pack for water and gadgets, there called hands and pockets fuckers...why the fuck do u want to lump around a skateboard all day, do the smart thing, locker,gym locker, or drop it off at ur last period class...

Jansport 2 pocket backpack was all u needed...

anyone remember the bags with clocks on them...LOL

[HyperTek]

^ur gonna hurt ur back tryin to fill all them pockets lol

it was by choice because shaved clean trunks and molded sides were hip.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

ALL THE WAY UP? What are you guys? A bunch of dweebs? Only dweebs wear them all the way up. Wear it low or not at all.
If I were to have seen you wearing your backpack tucked to the top I would have beat you with my cool man purse.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

Do they still have those really flimsy folders? Ya know, the kind that you could roll up and smack your friends in the bacck of the head with?

[HyperTek]

all the vatos in my day had those, roll em up and put em in their pockets.. but usually the studends who didnt take school seriously had em.

[FRpilot]

then came the rollin ones which i hated.


unless you are talking about something different, i remember only a few select geniuses used the rolling backpacks. they weren't even backpacks really, more like luggage bags with wheels and handles to carry tons of thick ass books and papers.

at my college, i remember there was always talk among the younger crowd of guy of these 2 older Vietnamese immigrants who were like in their late 20s, possibly early 30s who used these luggage bags. they were science majors (chemistry or biology) so it's understandable they had to haul around a bunch of shit all day. talk of sightings were that they were insanely HOT. i spotted them on a few occasions near the science building/library and i was shocked that the rumors of killer bodies were true and impressed that they were always dressed to show them off, usually wearing really short shirts and tight tank tops.

hot and smart older women :yum:

I had a DBZ backpack with Cell on it back in elementary school. My cousins from the Philippines sent it to me.

In my day, people usually let them hang real low. I HATED doing that, since I was always either skating or riding my sweet bmx bike to school. If I wore it low, it would smash the shit out of my lower back/upper butt area.
I usually kept my backpack up kinda high and really tight for balance purposes.

I went through LOTS of backpacks, though. The ones that lasted longest were the Jansports with the leather bottoms. I had a couple of those for 2+ years. All the others would break or tear within 4 or 5 months. I was rough on my backpacks. lol

So kids were damn near breaking their backs by putting all their books and shit into it.

I bought my jansport for 20 bucks my junior year and i still use it for college and to put all my tools in it when i go to the junkyard.

the roller backpacks were hilarious in JR. High, the kids that usually had them were the nerds that would run to class and someone would always kick it and make the kid loose their balance and fall haha pretty funny but sucked..

[Firestorm]

when i was in school, everyone...really EVERYONE rocked an eastpak worn with only one strap and so low it would bounce of your ass all the time walking around. it was the shit back then.

lol

[BoostSlideWayz]

i actually completely stopped using my backpack like halfway through junior year, and left everything in my locker. i think i liked using my locker more because it was in a stairwell and i got the number i requested, 666.

god i'm old. and i was/am a huge fucking nerd.


lol i stopped using my back pack around jr year too haha.. but i felt cool with out it cuz every one would be like... you dont need a back pack ? nah im too good for that nonsense.. and they would just look down and walk to class.

[Manuelitoohno]

everyone wears jansports all the way up.

and they tag something on the pocket LOL


thank god were done with the saggy backpack phase

[WanganRunner]

I still can't stand messenger bags. I'm an Associate at a private equity firm and I still come in every day with a backpack. Manhattan Portage, usually. None of that attache/messenger bag shit for me.


If I was still in HS/college, I'd probably carry one of these:

I can't get away with shit like that or a Supreme pack or something at the office.


EDIT: What *is* up with all the preschool character stuff? I saw some big dude sitting on a curb smoking a Black & Mild last week wearing Spongebob socks. Bright fucking yellow. I've seen a TON of weird little girly Spongebob or whatever backpacks on way older kids, maybe even early 20's people. WTF?

[!Zar!]

Hah.

I don't think I would've been able to appreciate a Porter backpack if I had it when I was a kid.

^^
I guess I sorta get that, but I'd probably do it with something less gay than a Spongebob backpack.

I LOL at modern kids trying to leech off our awesome late-80's-early-90's childhood because theirs is inferior.



EDIT: I have kinda wanted to start carrying around one of these though, which definitely pre-dates my own childhood (it's a '79 walkman), so I guess it's sort of the same mentality:

I had a north face. Always used both straps. I did the one strap thing back in middle school I think.

I think thats only cool if you actually remember those shows.

Remember the white ranger? And when the movie came out? Ivan Ooze?

Yeah, now you can wear the t-shirt.

[!Zar!]

When the black ranger was actually black...

[Future240]

When the black ranger was actually black...

Whaaat he isnt black anymore? This is not the power rangers I remeber, where the Asian girl was the Yellow ranger, and the Black Jamaicanish kid was the Black ranger.

This thread is now about the 90s Power Rangers.

You're telling me my ninja turtles shirt and my batman muscles vest haven't always been cool?


Sir, I disagree.

[xpertsnowcarver]

I know kids in high school still BURRITO other peoples back packs.... I started that shit, lmao.

YouTube - How to: Burrito a Backpack VoLuMe ONE!!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeYgEu3-rzU)

[randomxzero]

haha thats why i always carried my backpack with me.. :D
hah its funny when you would burrito the backpack and then put it on the otherside of the classroom they would keep looking for it and see it but not realize that it was their backpack.. :D

[Gizmo_S13]

i also remember freshmen who had those bags from like CCS mailorder with the skateboard strap. their parents would drop them off and they'd get out of the Expedition with this backpack with the skateboard hanging from it. like they brought it for show and tell or something.

I've had my Independent backpack for like hmm.. 8 years now haha. I still use it when I go on road trips to Mexico and shit.

I only use a folder. All my high school years I carried around a folder and even in college I just carry a folder.

[[email protected]]

fanny pack on their hip bro.

get with it.

[SimpleS14]

You can also try Nike,Adidas... for backpack for school (http://www.backpackforschool.net)...according to the age...


Looking at how old this thread is and this is your first post....that's borderline spam IMO....

[demonspeed]

is THAT what that shit is called? Just learned something lol! i had a jansport and a eastpak in middle school...then i rocked a Dakine backpack in HS and bought some desk speakers and wired it up so i would be bumpin while i change classes or walking home. Hell i even took requests lmao!

[lysticalz]

used a backpack for freshman year, then during the summer i used it for fishing trips. never reused it or bought a new one. just used the locker at the beginning, middle, and end of the school day. was also the hangout spot

[Mr Miyagi]

The new fad is wearing it on both shoulders, but really low, to where it touches your thighs. Axe me how I know.

[ronmcdon]

I see nothing wrong with messenger bags.
they're not as cumbersome as back-backs, and are practical if you're carrying less items.
If it means that Zilvia members think I'm homosexual, I think I can live with that.
I've had a tumi bag that's lasted me fine for the past 10-12 yrs.
I don't consider it a fashion statement or anything personal.

In HS I used a back-packs, messenger bags, just a notebook/binder, and brief-cases.
I like the brief-case most. I could lock that up easy, and it could double as a seat.

[soreballz]

smfh... It is spam, duder. Bots are pretty good nowadays.

[Steinkrunk]

I didn't wear a backpack or use books or anything in highschool. But we had lockers so I guess that's why. People still wore backpacks and people also brought their books with them on the way to/from classes.

The dumbest thing to do was "booking" people. Find the d-bag that has a million papers sticking out of his book and run behind him and flip his book/binder/notebook back right out of his hands. Papers would shoot everywhere, it was hilarious at busy times when the kid would shoot back and forth on his knees trying to pick up all his papers and everyone would walk by and kick the papers further down the hall.

[future]

When I was in school before I graduated (2010) we wore are backpacks on both and not low, that was like 8th grade

Sounds to me like you're a reeeeal winner. I bet your parents are proud.

[ManoNegra]

one strap, semi long
reason being it was easy to swing and get your shit out
or tuck it under the arm when in crowds or getting on the bus
I went to a rough school and you had to have your wits you
else your shit would get sliced and stolen

later, messenger bags became popular
we'd wear surplus army store ones,
the worn ones, medic bags preferred
bonus: a six pack of Krylon fit nice and snug

it was becoming trendy to wear DJ record bags after that
and remember seeing the rave kids with elmo bags
bleh

[BustedS13]

I didn't wear a backpack or use books or anything in highschool.
i believe you

[One_love_silvia]

i wear both straps. but i sure as hell dont have them all teh way up.

i actually have them almost all the way loosened. need to be able to take it off in a hurry or throw it around or whatnot if need be =) though ive always worn my backpack like that. i dont follow any stupid ass trends. i do whats comfortable. and if im wearing shorts that are somewhat baggy, it will cover up my boxers. because i know for a fact no one wants to see that. id wear belts, but im allergic to nickel =(

plus i dont like feeling like i have a midget hugging me from the back.

[Teddy]

This was my backpack in high school. Yeah, I wore it tight and up high.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n27/Touge_King/1025071609.jpg

Deal with it.

[anton1o]

Thats how it was done in Australia back in my school days of 5~ years ago..

Caribee bags were the rage, since you could lower the straps so stupidly low, and then it had the waist ties(Caribee bags are made for carrying stupid amounts of stuff when your hiking lol) So people would just let the staps touch the ground pretty much.

It was stupid but it was the in thing for your bag to smash the back of your legs when walking..

Cant find a pic of the bag but i think it was called a "Caribee Extreme 35"

we all dealt with it when you showed us two years ago, in this thread

This was my backpack in highschool. I got a newer version Senior year though.

Of course it was pulled all the way up.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n27/Touge_King/1025071609.jpg

[Steinkrunk]

i believe you

Still pulled honors and scored in the upper 10% on MCAS. I didn't need books/notebooks/papers so I didn't bring them. Don't take my laziness for stupidity.

and soreballz, I grew up in a "rural" town so we didn't have much to keep entertained. "Booking" people seriously was the thing to do tho, don't ask me why.

Edit: Found this while searching youtube for "booking" to see if maybe it's just a retarded, short-bus school thing or if you cool zilvia-school people did it too. Made me lol alittle and I figure it fits with the thread topic

Bahaha thats embarrassing, I did not remember this thread at ALL.

Sorry ;)

[DS562]

i carried a 3 ring binder and what ever book i needed at the time. pens and lead pencils in my pocket. made a good makeshift seat when it called for it.

[soreballz]

and soreballz, I grew up in a "rural" town so we didn't have much to keep entertained. "Booking" people seriously was the thing to do tho, don't ask me why.
So, basically, what you're saying is that because you lived in a rural town, being a douchebag and a bully was the best way to keep yourself entertained? :rolleyes:

Then again, since you claim it was the "in" thing to do, I must ask... Was this something everyone did to everyone, and nobody was really bothered by it (since they were doing it, too), or was this just something that you and your buddies did to kids that were too weak/small/afraid to stand up for themselves?
If it was the first thing... Carry on.
Second thing... Refer back to my original comment.

[Mikey213]

HAHAHAHAH back in my day I used to rock my jansport on my right shoulder (easier access to my weapon) But when lunch time or the last period hit I'd have my shoulder straps tight on both sides like all the skinny Jean boys cuz I had my blades strapped on my feet. Ahaha

[wh0aitznic0]

^You sound so cool. I wish I could be just like you.

[qwerth]

wear it low with style!

[WISH ONE]

I had one of those plastic two-tone spacemaker crayon pencil holder boxes... OH YEAH

[chiboy002]

doulbe straps all the way down cause mine broke and i had to fix it with a shoelace so no adjustment

no folders, i just cram papers in it in an organized fashion

everyone at my school has a new northface back pack every year, or those designer messenger bag/shoulder bags. So stupid.

[towlie]

I just rocked a single binder, cool thing was to get one with a clear cover so you could customize it with pictures.. Mine was full of metal album covers, pics of girls, and the hippo sleek Silvia lol. occasionally I would wear a backpack but as more of an accessory than a bag to carry items.

I had an expensive designer faux-leather bag that all the girls complimented me on :)

Still have it, use it for roadtrips/traveling

Lol, by bag I meant backpack.

A man purse is um, not my style.

[BoostSlideWayz]

I remember i didnt have to use a back pack at all in high school lol * special ed * loved that class, you didnt have to have books because they would just give you work packets to do simple math and other shit.

[ov1989]

i wear my jansport just abt all the way up n with both straps looking like a school boy ooh yeeah!

[DMiller]

First half of HS wore a backpack one strapped, just some random brand backpack I had at the time as I went through them rather regularly and didnt care nor pay attention to name brands. Second half of HS, carried a zipper binder and kept everything else in my locker except the binder and w/e text book I needed for class.

Back in Junior High (early-mid 90s) JanSport and Outdoor were the brand to buy. They looked identical except for the label. I bought an Outdoor and it didnt make it past Jr. High. I bought a dark blue Jansport like this one shown and used it low from most of high school into college. Don't recall spending anything near $45, otherwise I wouldnt have bought it. Started to use my backpack on a daily basis again about 2 years ago to carry my steering wheel, radio, small flashlight and a few other things and it's bearly beginning to show signs of wear. Gatta look for something new though. Now that I'm 31 it's time to put down these types of bags and get something more grown up.
