destroyyourself
grew up in early 2000's and did this, not a 90's thing. Not everything nostalgic is a 90's thing
Wherethefackaretheirchins
This is what my front yard used to look like up until 2014/15 with my son and his friends. They all drive now.
BiasedFortuna
None of my peeps could afford bikes
WontSomeonePleaseThinkOfTheChildren
We did have phones, you know.

This was the life!!

NEVER understood the kids who just dropped their bikes on the ground. Worst part : (
clydeman420
Always thought a squad meant cheerleaders.
TheDepartmentOfMilitarySciences
I'll never forget becoming an expert at bike hiding to make sure the annoying kid couldn't find my friends and I.
StripTheFleshSaltTheWound
Not if you lived out in the damn woods.
Agirlinthesackisbetterthan2ontinder
Yeah, because not a single kid is out with friends anymore...
Wakborder517
Off the grass!!
InnerUniverse
Those were good times. You could leave your bike outside unattended and it would still be there 8 hours later when you went home.
Mrsrocha4580
Heck yea.now those were the good ol days my girls have no idea wat it feels like to chill outside with friends An TALK TO EACH OTHER
clericforheals
Damn ghost children were everywhere
PoliticalLava
I lived in a suburb and every kid in a 1mi radius would play together. This is exactly what we'd do. Only, I guess I am a 00's kid.
alexdag85
Miss the 90s so much
Jackhammer412
Early 2000s to, man I wanna go back
se24990
Same in the early 70's
DevilDisowned
Lol like I would give my kid a phone
Diyamin
But we never said "squad"...

True story.....

You don't need the word "at" at the end of the sentence.
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
The word that this sentence doesn't need at the end is
IndyAndyJones
A preposition is a terrible thing to end a sentence with.
yorhuckleberry
God I miss those days.
oatonaboatwithastoat
Simpler times
thorgod
That would be a check-in on the pavement
Winter08
Remember riding to your friends house to find out they weren't home
Drew442
Or finding out they were grounded
ahnteis
I mean, they had a phone.
fathogwrestler
Yup and his sister was using it
yupthatsbullshit
parkerh17
That actually still exists. Kids are not very consistent at responding to texts. Source: my little brothers friends walk over from 1/2
parkerh17
Another neighborhood to see if he can hang out.
CabNumber1729
Good. Let them learn like we did. People are garbage.
Anthroposapien
Those bikes would 100% be stolen nowadays.
HiddenSanity
I remember multiple bike theft incidents back then.
someprickinvietnam
People been stealing bikes off lawns and racks since the first bicycle.
Ghobe
My bikes were 100% stolen growing up too...one of them was even stolen the same day I got the damned thing. Like what utopia did you live in
parkerh17
In my neighborhood kids leave toys in the street, i wish they were stolen some times.
missmolly123456789
I don't think half the kids nowadays know how to even ride one.
Muad
Fivethirtyeight reports it's more like 10-15% of kids in America - younger people are indeed less likely to know how, but not by that much.
QuackQuackAttack
Other than their being far less crime now, that’s 100% correct.
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
That's a huge generalization. Not in my area at all.
Cheomesh
Mine it definitely would.Took mine out some years ago,slipped back inside for my wallet,came out and it was gone.
CrystalToucher
Same here, my town is 99.3% white
Impossibrew
if it was Dallas they'd be thrown into the river
JunglePygmy
Yeah but at least there would be 0% bikes left. Gotta use your head, man.
NopeAthlete
Mine got stolen. Dyno NSX chrome with blue decals. Found it down the street behind a dumpster. Someone tipped me and my uncle off amd we 1/2
NopeAthlete
Kicked their ass and non of the neighborhood wanted to play with them anymore. They eventually ended up moving. Cause no one liked them
TheHornedKing
I would hope your adult uncle didn't participate in the ass-kicking of a child.
NopeAthlete
Lol. He is my uncle. Not once was age specified. Uncles dont have to be older haha.
NopeAthlete
You said adult. I never did.
RedForman95
My skateboard
sandwichmunchies
my brother's bike got stolen, so he got a new one, that one was stolen. then he borrowed my bike, that bike was then stolen...
charondaboatman
bet he was selling them for weed.
sandwichmunchies
nah, bro. that was me. he doesnt like weed.
NopeAthlete
If you use the word "squad" you never did this
rollercostarican
not true, me and my squad used to do that all the time.Some BMX bikes with pegs, some mountain bikes, some Razr Scooters, and one skateboard
Begotten
FACTOMUNDO
TheRapMan
I mean, shit, we did this in like 2010...
paladinofseattle
YES. 1983 here. The word "squad" was never used by me, or any of my friends, to denote our group.
NegroSavage
"Young people use new lingo, therefore they cannot identify with the same things I identify with."
NothingButGoodVibes
Right? A squad would be around 11 or 12 people. This is more like a team.
Demikuu
Thought the exact same thing when I saw it.. they would not even be around in our days
EthanW87
I did this. I currently use the word squad.

SwungCookie
I don't get it
1337firewife
80s and early 90s kids generally don't say "squad". It's younger kids in their early 20s saying that
SwungCookie
But that doesn't take away the truth of the meme.
NopeAthlete
Its something a poser would make. To try to fit in haha. Poser. That was the worst thing to be back then. Haha
