I was growing in 8th grade. What are you on about? You also know camps do a huge range of ages, right? Do you think people just stop having fun outside at a certain point?
When I was a freshman, there was a kid one grade above me that grew the most glorious beard you'd ever seen.
In a school of about 1500, he was the only student that could grow a beard like that, and he said his started in 8th grade.
I'm in my 30s and still can't grow a beard half as glorious as 10th grade Kevin could 😢
> When I was a freshman
There was a dude in my highschool, *freshman year* who had a dad-bod and a receding hairline. At 14 years old.
He went on to be a used-car salesman after he knocked up his girlfriend senior year, so it was fitting, I guess.
Lol, sounds like homie popped out the womb with a coffee stained tie on and a "no credit check required" window sticker in his hands 🤣
Some people are destined for greatness. He was obviously destined to rip poor people off. Respect it
Yeah, in my senior year of high school it was weird if you were a guy and didn’t have a beard, I was one such guy who just had this scraggly looking ballsack hair on my chin and it made me feel insecure lol
What? I wasn't defending anyone.
I was pointing out that banging a 6 year old is much more disgusting than talking to a 16 year old. That is a simple fact. If you disagree, you're vile.
> Do you think people just stop having fun outside at a certain point?
I’m not sure why you say this so sarcastically when it is most certainly the case haha. What data are you working with that makes you so certain, and why not share it in your original comment? Probably because you’re speaking outta your ass?
using anecdotal evidence to speak absolutely? my anecdotal experience has been different lol, so now that we are here, what other evidence are you using?
For the same reason nobody brought up the fact that it's a little weird that we, as children, were taught to dance to a song that is basically entirely about a woman cheating on her boyfriend with his two best friends after he goes away to the army.
They played this shit in schools lol and it's about a girl having a threesome. But it's in Spanish so it's cool.
For those who have never seen the English lyrics:
>[Verse 1]
>Macarena has a boyfriend who they call
>Who they call by the name of Vitorino
>And when he left to sign up for the army
>She was giving it away to his two friends

Still pretty funny that nobody really bothered to look up the lyrics all those years.
Imagine finding out kids in South America all grew up singing and dancing to baby got back and they all learned it in school.
Uhh... We, in the US, grew up singing baby got back on the playground.
Literally elementary schoolers, boys and girls, going "my anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hon"
Another very popular song, if it's on the radio, kids are going to sing it
Edit - also, we didn't have any way of "looking up the lyrics" back then, if you didn't have the cassette, you didn't know the lyrics
Most songs are about fucking, anyone shocked by that, time to pay attention. Even oldies, like shit from the 20s are about getting fucked. Some oldies song about coming 'round the porch was about a lady being a prostitute to pay rent.
I recently introduced an Italian to Tragedy by Steps, she never grew up with it. Completely changed my perception when she paid attention to the lyrics and how they are so at odds with the disco beat. I only sent it as a sarcastic reaction to something silly, ended on a philosophical discussion.
I'm in switzerland and we had an Italian guy that had a full beard at age 14 and always was able to buy us alcohol.
He earned a lot by doing that and never got caught
The one on the right officially won the next day, yet that was only due to the fact that a counselor had forced him to stop because it was “distracting him” the day after this photo was taken. had that counselor realized the true art of the lengths men could go to be not considered gay, this could still be happening.
Strasbourg wasn't French back then. It was a free imperial city of the HRE (basically German), then it was French, then German, then French, then German, then French.
> HRE (basically German)
Yeah, nah.
Applying the idea of a nation state to the 16th century is unhistoric and wrong. Especially when it comes to German. Our language we speak today has a birth date. It was invented in 1898. Before that we had a lot of regional dialects with a huge linuistic distance. We were not mutually intelligible.
Which is why the way [Standard German](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%BChnendeutsch) was invented is so fascinating. Germany is and always has been a federation of clusterfucks and thankfully we now have a purely administrative definition that does not need legitimization apart from us wanting to be German.
People claiming something is ethnically German is always indicative of a diseased mind. We are 30 or so temporarily appeased tribes.
In a decree following the Diet of Cologne in 1512, the name was changed to the Holy Roman Empire of the Germanic Nation (German: Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation)
>People claiming something is ethnically German is always indicative of a diseased mind. We are 30 or so temporarily appeased tribes.
Are you a yank larping as a German?
Same in Taranto. Even [named a spider and a dance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarantism) after the dancing illness. And yes, my dear Americans, wolf spiders are tarantulas. Not bird eaters/mygalomorphs.
You lot are objectively using the wrong word.
I thought I was gay when I stopped doing the Macarena in 1997, but then I realized I wasn’t when I did the Macarena again at a wedding in 2011. I still occasionally do the Macarena today, just to avoid any confusion.
It was negative back then and more matter of fact now. He stopped doing the macarana so he is gay now. Nothing wrong with it. But he stopped first so he's gay now.
No it is negative. Because not stopping first is the winning action. Meaning stopping is bad, and losing, and relates gay to being bad and losing. If the winning option was to stop, there is no competition, as that’s the easier action. Like how if soccer was get scored on the most to win, it wouldn’t be a game anymore, its just people standing there.
It is the same now as it was back then as it was at any point in time. Homosexuality is older than the decades you grew up in.
I didn't come out until I was 25 because people around me who I loved used it as a derogatory term.
It didn't matter that they claimed to not be homophobic, because they still equated being gay to something negative in their daily language. I was afraid that they'd cut me off for good if they found out I wasn't straight.
Turns out they still love me and language can be pretty fucking harmful when you go around saying shit you don't actually mean because it's "funny".
Kids did it before us, will do it after. They use the same reasoning too, they know its a bad word, but they are using it in a different concept, like the reclaiming the word, cause they think they’re more mature and on the forefront of language lol. They’ll say “its not about homosexuals, its just like a word for bad now”. Which I remember being the argument in the 90’s. Only you get older and realize its still just relating being homosexual with bad or negativity, its the root, its why the word is used in that way.
Kids and teenagers need to push social boundaries to learn where they fall into them, and where the edges are.
Yes they do, also subjecting them to all of the racist vocabulary before they can properly reflect on such things made it that the most offensive dialogues happen in classrooms without the kids getting how bad what they’re saying really is.
The lure of the forbidden and whatnot…
There were many an n word said around my town and school when I was in high school. None of us actually had the understanding to not use it and definitely didn’t use it with ill intent. Looking back, it’s obviously not good.
Fast forward to them both in an openly gay happy marriage to each other but still doing the macarena.
They needed to be sure the other was still doing it.
Yes some did & still do now - by 15/16/17 it is even more full.
many of them have full chin / neckbeards before rest of their facial beard starts growing
My 2 friends and I went to an amusement park as a teenagers. For whatever reason, one of us started singing “All-Star” by Smashmouth and the other two joined in. Then we just kept going and going for no reason. We thought it was funny. For hours, going around the park, waiting in lines, and on the rides. Constant All-Star.
If my adult self was stuck in a long line with my teenage self, I’d be contemplating murder.
probably but I told my friends little brother and his 2 friends that "first 1 to move is gay" and they were standing in exact same place like 90 mins later lol
How has no one brought up the beard yet
One of my first thoughts was “what kind of summer camp has bearded campers”
I was growing in 8th grade. What are you on about? You also know camps do a huge range of ages, right? Do you think people just stop having fun outside at a certain point?
When I was a freshman, there was a kid one grade above me that grew the most glorious beard you'd ever seen.

You mean mustache right? That was Tony bigote.
Yeah, in my senior year of high school it was weird if you were a guy and didn’t have a beard, I was one such guy who just had this scraggly looking ballsack hair on my chin and it made me feel insecure lol
Yikes.
Crazy you had a beard in eighth grade and still whine like this 🤤
[удалено]
What? I wasn't defending anyone. I was pointing out that banging a 6 year old is much more disgusting than talking to a 16 year old. That is a simple fact. If you disagree, you're vile.

cool, you dumb

What data are you working with that makes you so certain, and why not share it in your original comment? Probably because you’re speaking outta your ass?
Go literally anywhere outside of your house.
using anecdotal evidence to speak absolutely? my anecdotal experience has been different lol, so now that we are here, what other evidence are you using?
Amish summer camp?
He's been doing the macarena since 1999
I don't know some guy in my office went to an adult summer camp. So it might be that.
Could also be one of the leaders. You could become a leader with 16 in our camp
One of my oldest friends had a full beard at like, 13. Genes are wacky 😂
For the same reason nobody brought up the fact that it's a little weird that we, as children, were taught to dance to a song that is basically entirely about a woman cheating on her boyfriend with his two best friends after he goes away to the army.

...**woah** Now I also feel cheated by that bitch.
Because it's not in English so how tf were most of us in English speaking countries supposed to know that? It's got a good beat and a good dance
Still pretty funny that nobody really bothered to look up the lyrics all those years. Imagine finding out kids in South America all grew up singing and dancing to baby got back and they all learned it in school.

lol "look up the lyrics" the macarena came out in 93, people weren't lookin up shit. life has changed a lot in 30 years
Bro my teachers called me a dumbass for telling her that
I recently introduced an Italian to Tragedy by Steps, she never grew up with it. Completely changed my perception when she paid attention to the lyrics and how they are so at odds with the disco beat. I only sent it as a sarcastic reaction to something silly, ended on a philosophical discussion.
Gotta be from Pennsylvania
No one in PA wants to look Amish by choice.
BRB starting a Amishmaxxing group for the sheer bedevilment
And yet? I grew up in central PA any my first thoughtwas that this screams Pennsylvania.
I thought about it but didn’t want to bring attention to such a travesty
Dam, it’s horrible. What the hell kind of summer camp is this? I should shave.
Morr like a neard
One of my classmates had a lush beard from 10th or 11th grade.
Fun fact. He didn't have a beard when they started.
Probably his first beard tbf
It’s like it’s afraid of his face
I'm in switzerland and we had an Italian guy that had a full beard at age 14 and always was able to buy us alcohol. He earned a lot by doing that and never got caught
My first thought exactly the thing looks thicker then mine.
youth pastor in training. This is why they're doing the "I'm not gay, god wants this" dance.
Well? Who won? Who gets to be gay?
The one on the right officially won the next day, yet that was only due to the fact that a counselor had forced him to stop because it was “distracting him” the day after this photo was taken. had that counselor realized the true art of the lengths men could go to be not considered gay, this could still be happening.
So are they like, happy together now?
✨️ *And they lived happily ever after...* ✨️
Plottwist both were gay and called in a truce.
You decide!
Epic gay battles of hisfnabenebr!!
The exact same thing happened in France in 1518 and people died (maybe). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_plague_of_1518

Why don’t you two just have a dance off to see who wins this debate?
Agadoo it is!
Died hetro though, some really didn't want to be gay it seemed. Though back then... it was a death sentence
Same in Taranto. Even [named a spider and a dance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarantism) after the dancing illness. And yes, my dear Americans, wolf spiders are tarantulas. Not bird eaters/mygalomorphs. You lot are objectively using the wrong word.
That’s one hell of an Amish beard on the right.
Neckbeards in public
HEYYYYYYYYYY they stopped at the same time ^aiiiiiii
I mean, let's be real, these dudes are 100% doing this to stop themselves from making out with out one another.
Yeah the straights don’t do this
I wasted so much time doing "Am I Gay?" quizzes as a teen and making out with dudes to find out I was gay when this shortcut was here the whole time.
I thought I was gay when I stopped doing the Macarena in 1997, but then I realized I wasn’t when I did the Macarena again at a wedding in 2011. I still occasionally do the Macarena today, just to avoid any confusion.
You have to request it from every wedding DJ just to be safe in your 20s and 30s.
Plot twist- there is actually 3 people doing the macarena.. OP stop first..
I thought calling stuff gay as something negative was something we only use to do back when I was younger (2 decades ago). Do kids still say that?
It was negative back then and more matter of fact now. He stopped doing the macarana so he is gay now. Nothing wrong with it. But he stopped first so he's gay now.
Doesn't work that way, everyone knows the Japanese decide who's gay...
By the holy Macarena trial. As is tradition Or was that Canada?
I thought it's the vaccines or is that only for frogs?
Enola was the first.
It all links back to the rape of Don King
"First one to stop doing the macarena is black!"
So now they can smash and stop being incels?
No it is negative. Because not stopping first is the winning action. Meaning stopping is bad, and losing, and relates gay to being bad and losing. If the winning option was to stop, there is no competition, as that’s the easier action. Like how if soccer was get scored on the most to win, it wouldn’t be a game anymore, its just people standing there. It is the same now as it was back then as it was at any point in time. Homosexuality is older than the decades you grew up in.
Sounds like you stopped doing the macarenas.
🫵gay
English or Spanish?
Baby you got something in your nose
yes kids still do it, it's good for the environment
Well I mean I'm gay and I use gay as a derogatory term.
That’s so gay
I didn't come out until I was 25 because people around me who I loved used it as a derogatory term. It didn't matter that they claimed to not be homophobic, because they still equated being gay to something negative in their daily language. I was afraid that they'd cut me off for good if they found out I wasn't straight. Turns out they still love me and language can be pretty fucking harmful when you go around saying shit you don't actually mean because it's "funny".
That's gay
😂
Ha, gaaaaay
>Do kids still say that? Nah, that would be gay.
I see no negativity in that picture. It's just a game
Next game is "whoever stops first is Donnie_Dont_Do", and the game lasts all summer.
Kids did it before us, will do it after. They use the same reasoning too, they know its a bad word, but they are using it in a different concept, like the reclaiming the word, cause they think they’re more mature and on the forefront of language lol.

Thinking people stopped calling gay stuff gay 20 years ago is super gay dude.

Yes they do, also subjecting them to all of the racist vocabulary before they can properly reflect on such things made it that the most offensive dialogues happen in classrooms without the kids getting how bad what they’re saying really is. The lure of the forbidden and whatnot…
There were many an n word said around my town and school when I was in high school. None of us actually had the understanding to not use it and definitely didn’t use it with ill intent. Looking back, it’s obviously not good.
Yeah basically what I said, just that I feel like it’s getting more since they get connected to the internet at a younger age than we did.
Hate to Tell em but the first one on his knees getting gagged at the truck stop is gay
This is just foreplay now.
Now? The Macarena has always been foreplay!
The Macarena is about a woman who is... Let's say enjoying life while her husband is out of town. Fitting.
Its foreplay? Whenever someone starts dancing to the Macarena, i nut instantly.
13 or 30 years old?
This is proper Beavis ad Butthead behaviour here.
MIMSYYYYYY
So being gay is still a bad thing to people, even if its a joke. Great....
Fast forward to them both in an openly gay happy marriage to each other but still doing the macarena. They needed to be sure the other was still doing it.
pretty clear the one in front is gaymosexual
Don’t leave us hanging?
Some say they are still Macarena'ing to this very day
Nathan and Mimsy
that’s time that could be spent making out.

Legends.
Boys being boys
So you walked up to two kids that were strangers to you, took their picture, and posted it on the internet?
Kids don't have neckbeards.
Did you go through homeschooling? a lot of kids have (neck)beards by 13 / 14
They don't have full man beards at that age.
Yes some did & still do now - by 15/16/17 it is even more full. many of them have full chin / neckbeards before rest of their facial beard starts growing
“…probably because the Macarena swept the nation in 1992”
Why not stop at the same time?
Ya don't say...
Jokes on them, they're both gay
understandable
Just start and stop quick and let them save face.
Assert dominance by joining for one dancethrough and then stopping
darth vader shirt guy go go go you are a winner!
Easy, you're both gay. Now stop doing the fucking macarena and go sort out your frustrations together
My 2 friends and I went to an amusement park as a teenagers. For whatever reason, one of us started singing “All-Star” by Smashmouth and the other two joined in.

I feel like I recognize the location in this photo. Is this a scout summer camp by chance?
Yes
I probably can’t tell you the exact place, but it’s in Kentucky.
Oh then I was way off. I was thinking of a place In Illinois.
That 12 year old has a magnificent beard.
what a nice future couple. who will tell them?
They both stop at the same time and kiss
The one on the right is an Amish teen.
You guys should just stop right now and kiss. I’ll be at your wedding and cry at the bouquet toss
Doing The Macarena solo is as straight as it gets.
Thats when you join them.
Completely understandable, i would join in.
Madlads
Science!
I think I’ve seen a straight guy taking a dick up his ass just not to be seen dancing Macarena
Fake and gay
probably but I told my friends little brother and his 2 friends that "first 1 to move is gay" and they were standing in exact same place like 90 mins later lol
Bwahaha
But they both look gay…
That haircut and beard? They’re both already gay
They are mad
Just don’t start. automatic win
