Kids in my primary school where talking about this, it’s not exclusive to the 90’s
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.
Probably still carved on the desk.
Actually that goes back at least 100 years. No one is really sure of the origin. It’s kind of spooky tbh. Every kid thinks they independently discovered it.
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.
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.
Interesting Lemmino video about the S https://piped.video/watch?v=RQdxHi4_Pvc
What is this symbol? The letter S? The number 8? Zero or O twisted in the middle?
The answer: Yes.
Cool S gang represent
All hail the S
Cool S
The infinity S
This has been kicking around for so long, I wonder where it originally came from!
My mind was blown when I learned this was never actually associated with Stussy.
My namesake. 😍
