my mom brought space jam home to us one day when my brother and i were little. i didn't like it very much, it wasn't my taste but my brother loved it. it's the first thing he would do when he got home from school, space jam. come to find out it was only the real space jam from the nasa gift shop the first time, the other jars were just the same jar that my mom would refill with peanut butter and jelly mixed.

The year was 1999. I refused to acknowledge Puff Daddy as an artist or musician. I was shunned by my fellow high-schoolers and forced into hiding on the Punk Rock scene.

2 years later, got onto the opening band stage at Warped Tour so, totally worth it.

Pokemon was so big when I was in elementary school but I never really got into it. Kids would get in fights all the time over those damn cards.

Everyone liked the cartoon "Doug", but the main character's awkward pining after a girl in his class hit a little too close to home for 10-year-old me. I could barely watch an episode without wanting to hide.

Wiz Khalifa. Repeating BLACK AND YELLOW shouldn't be called music and it really tickles my lemons.

Don't hate me.... Power Rangers... I hated them and always thought the X-Men would beat them up.... even with their giant robot (not sure what they called it, I never liked them)... I mean if wolverine can take down a sentinel solo... how would those guys stand a chance.

Barbies. The only time I played with the ones I was given were when they acted as hostages to be rescued by the G.I. Joes I stole from my brother. I built elaborate traps and prisons out of old shoe boxes. I was kind of a weird kid.

Game Boys, and especially Pokémon on Game Boy. I loved the TCG and the cartoons, but that shit never got me.

Back then: Wearing jeans or being fashionable. I practically only wore khaki pants that were too large for me (hand me downs) and a black jacket everday. I was teased for it.

Now: Listening to dub step. I honestly can't see or hear any appeal to grinding metal screeches that can be compared to transformers having sex. I also don't like the rave scene either. The amount of drugs there disturbs me.

My Little Pony. New Kids on the Block. I also never got into Saturday Night Live, Seinfeld or American Idol.

pokemon, dragon ball z, and harry potter.

I know I am against the masses here, and that is the point of this topic. By the time they came out I was in my teens and preoccupied with trying to get a girlfriend, not, trying to stretch out my childhood as long as possible. They just seemed really corny and kiddish. I'd go over my friend's house, and we'd all be playing goldeneye or listening to 90s rap then all of a sudden someone would break out pokemon cards or start talking about making a comic book with dragon ball z... at which point i would proclaim "gayfest" and go home.

Sticker books.

It's recess! our big chance to run around like crazy 6 year olds! Wait what? Everyone just wants to sit in a circle and trade stickers? This is fucking boring.

I'm going to go play tag with the boys who aren't into collecting stickers.

Ugg stickers!

There were a lot of weird fads in my town when I was in junior high in the 1970s. For a while, everyone was eating pomegranates. Then, for a while, everyone was eating chocolate Ex-Lax. There were a bunch of things like that where I just shook my head and, for brief moments, thanked $DEITY that I was an outcast.

Also, Saturday Night Live, because our little boonie town only had live CBC and two-days-late CTV from Edmonton on TV at the time, so whenever I was visiting people in southern Canada, I'd hear all about this insanely cool show that everyone was watching....

I never watched "Saved By The Bell" when it was on the air. Never interested me but aparently everyone else in my age group just LOVED it.

Saint Seiya. And to a lesser degree, Dragon Ball, but I loved it one decade later when I read the whole comic. I still don't get Saint Seiya. In my country it was called "Los caballeros del zodiaco" (zodiac's knights?).

Soda. It's just fizzy sugar water, never saw the point. Now that I'm old enough to drink beer I understand the point of soda (get kids hooked early), but I still don't drink it.

superheroes. x-men, power rangers, batman, superman. People are blown away and ask what the hell i did as a little kid. Well my dudes, while you were inside watching cartoons, i was outside building ramps made of bricks and wood and jumping them with bikes, skateboard, inline skates. Yea, i was one badass 5 year old.
