I've noticed for the past few months/year that middle school and high school kids have been wearing furry tails (like a fox or raccoon) pinned to the back of their clothing. Is this a Bay Area thing, or is it something people are doing nation wide? And what the fuck kind of stupid trend is this?

We had stupid trends back in my day (stuffing the soles of shoes with socks, sagging, tall tees, etc), but an animal tail? C'mon son.

This is going to be a long thread.

 

[shadyspace]

San Francisco is filled with goddamn weirdos. There's your explanation.

 

[AzureSkies]

This thread's only going downhill from here.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

I do it because its a mating call.

 

[JustProgress]

Furries, man. Also, Obama's America.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

.

But in your case OP I think it's a furry thing.

My friend's boyfriend did this shit lol and he is fucking 25 years old or some shit. There was some rapper or singer that did it recently and that was why he started doing it. I hated when we'd have a huge get together and he brought that shit. I lived in Nashville when that happened btw.

I hope to god this isn't a widespread thing, I remember seeing a documentary about kids like this a while ago.

 

[Shredding.Bullets]

I've seen this too, and always meant to ask someone about it. Hoping for an answer in here and not just a ton more "oohhhh boy" posts.

They belong to a 'pack'. They believe they are wolves/werewolves.

They exist every where. I remember them in high school in decent sized my midwestern city.

I fully support our new werewolf overlords.

It's no different than when all those kids started wearing their pants backwards or growing out their hair and smoking that wacky tabacky. Rebellion always looks foolish to the older generation.

Holy fuck hahaha, I don't know what else to say.

Lol oh dear.

I found another video she did a few weeks ago, and apparently she now finds it 'offensive' to be called either female or human.

Very much in the weird part of YouTube now, I'm gonna leave I think.

How to Howl like a wolf and bark

I guess you can say that they could BARK AT THE MOON

 

[MDSLKTR]

Saw it at some dubstep shows.

I try to avoid going to dubstep shows now.

Sounds just a ridiculous as wearing some shitty tail.

I really should have left YouTube..

Oh god. Really? facepalm.jpg

I totally understand wanting to stand out or be unique, having been a teen myself, but man... I dunno.

B-b-but that is what they are ~*truly supposed to be*~

LOL.

I'd fear for that child's safety more with the furry than an actual wolf.

 

[BocoDragon]

I've seen it here and there in Vancouver. Not really a wide trend, though. It was mostly women ~20 though, not so much kids.

 

[iddqd]

I've seen it in Toronto too.
One guy was sporting a wolf tail while doing curls with his skateboard.
Cool stuff!

 

[Avixph]

Good thing I live in NYC where these freaks don't exist.

 

[RealDeadOne]

It's just a furry/young anime fan thing. It weirds me out but it's not always a sexual thing or related to someone literally thinking they're a wolf or something.

It's just a dumb otaku fashion like the cat ear hats and eating pocky and stuff.

 

[Vibed]

I had a little striped tail I liked to put on when I was like 4-5 because I could pretend I was Raccoon Mario.

 

[vidcons]

what the hell do you jaded assholes have against being ready for a stylish pickup game of flag football

 

[Rorschach]

Why are there grease stains on the tail? That looks like a guy who permanently has greasy fingers.

 

[ThomasLight]

let me sing you the song of my people

 

[FStop7]

I want to file a lawsuit against anyone I see doing this.

Oh if only you knew.

 

[Dark Phoenix]

B-b-but that is what they are ~*truly supposed to be*~

I never see anyone claim that they're truly some weird, non-appealing, animal. It's all wolves, and foxes, and cats, and dragons, where's the creativity?

Got a friend who's a pine marten, that work for ya?

Apparently, it's a thing among children nowadays /old.

That's not grease that you're feeling.

Yet like where are the aardvarks, pugs, calvos?

 

[Azure Dream]

It's not even a furry/anime thing anymore. It's just a fashion thing for a lot of people.

I know it was picking up in popularity in Japan while I was there two years ago. I kept seeing them in the shops. Also saw fur protestors at the train entrance.

 

[RBH]

Because they're trying to copy Frankman and Spindashing.

 

[Ultratech]

Welp, that's just weird. Then again, nothing new.

I never see anyone claim that they're truly some weird, non-appealing, animal. It's all wolves, and foxes, and cats, and dragons, where's the creativity?

Because nobody wants to be a skunk or an elephant? (Because most crap with small tails doesn't qualify as cool? I don't know.)

Because they're trying to copy Frankman and Spindashing.

lol
