Do you have what it takes?!

To take your Anarchy to the next level, you need to push your rad theory to the Xtreme!

As adolescents of the 90s, we know what we must do.

We will become X-workers and undertake X-games.

We must take our position as Xtreme Anarchists.

ziq, wearing a flannel over a threadbare thrifted knit sweater and combat boots, with an empty bag of ectocooler clenched in their fist, screams WHO KILLED LAURA PALMER!!!!!! there are zoomers everywhere. they are all flossing and doing other tiktok challenges. they don't understand the elder ziq's references but the fit is cool so they don't mind the screaming. HA I KILL ME ziq screams. the kids scream too. no one gets the reference.

I'm a noughties kid if we're going by when you were a kid/teenager, but I can tell you that a lot of the 90s aesthetic carried over to the noughts as well. I know I can remember seeing Xtreme spelled exactly like that in TV commercials around '00 to '03 as well.

I guess I qualify as an adolescent of the 90s as well...though I consider myself an 80s baby. Never heard someone term by adolescents and not birth.

I'm an early 80s baby but that means I was a teenager in the late 90s and that's what defines your tastes through the rest of your life

Not fair lol I always talk about 90s and 00s stuff, and I guess I am more influenced by X'ers than millennials despite being a millennial myself.

Gaming died with the arcades as far as I'm concerned. Modern games are just jobs. Training for the gig economy.

Don't clock me and my time spent theorycrafting more than actually playing.

Cool, but no arcades anywhere in, I believe, thousand kilometers in my childhood...

SF2 - I was going to say I didn't have a console, but I did actually play SF2 on computer a fair bit. I had forgotten about it.

90210 - My sister watched it, I had no interest.

King of the Hill - I think there was something else I watched when it was on. Probably a British Comedy or a Period Drama. Plus it was on one of the channels with adds, I would always change channels during add breaks and so ended up watching the add free channels.
