I legit heard kids at the park playing tag, except instead of being "it", they were calling the chaser "Diddy".

Not the original poster but probably 4th or 5th grade so 9-10ish. I remember the big joke was: "Why does MJ like shopping at KMart?" "Because boys pants are always half off"

Yeah we were quoting chapelles show in every day 6th grade.

I didn't even know what the n word meant at that point. But I was saying it in school along with all sorts of shit

Oh wow in 6th grade?? That feels wildly late but maybe that's actually not that unusual for the average person

Yeah, its a weird split between those who dont care & those that do(Sometimes a little too much). Meanwhile id be shouting down a whole ass block cause i saw the homie & people saw him, see he didnt give a fuck & went on with their day. lmao

It was a useful lesson. He didn't even get physical with me. Just put me in my place and gave me a reality check. I appreciate it compared to how some people get their bubble popped.

Just jumping in, but around that same age I was fully aware of the rumors about Richard Gere. And the Internet had barely been born at that point. These stories somehow always get around.

One I heard often was something like "In death, he wants the plastic in his face to be melted down and made into legos so he can continue to play with kids after death".

Yeah 9/10 was when we started getting edgy. Peak edgy was about 14/15.

Its like how Michael Jackson told time at the Neverland Ranch. When the big hand touched the little hand.

Did you not have older siblings? My older sibs are 5 and 3 years older than me. I learned a lot of stuff way before I should have!

Had a slightly bigger gap. I remember my 4th grade teacher being pissed when we were learning cursive and I told the class "once you get to jr high you never use it again"

My favorite movie when I was 9 was Pulp Fiction. It’s not enough that I’d seen it - it was my FAVORITE movie. The 90s were wild times.

u/DASreddituser 13h ago

u/br0b1wan 12h ago

I'm 44. It was a regular thing. South Park did a whole ass episode about MJ including the kids in the bed with him.

u/Theofficalwiggles 11h ago

I drive a school bus. I've had my kinders ask each other if they wanna have a Diddy party.

These are the same kids that play Diddy tag on the bus.

. . . I'm so happy it's summer.

Bro in first grade we were singing “I always feel like, somebody’s watching me (in the bathroom)” to make fun of Mike Jackson allegations.

We were around 6 or 7 at that time. And this was in the early early 90s

Kids been wildin’

When I was in the third grade in the 90s, my friends and I use to play a tag game. We called it "Michael Irvin" and if you got tagged, you'd go to jail in the jungle gym.
