You know, now that now that we're sort of out of the loop generally on what's cool in like younger circles, I wonder who the cool Asians are now. But, you know, as time went on, the cool Asian changed. Like, I guess in high school for me, it was like the gangsters were the cool Asians. So, it was people Asians you were scared of that were cool. And then after a while, it became like the GQ Asians are the cool Asians. And then after that, it was it was like

So
1:41 with whatever other now minorities of that school, whether it be white people or black people or span, they did all the sports. They were all in the sports. So any Asians that could hang also with them and do well. And then our team or high school actually did well, those Asians were like, "Ah, okay. Tight." >> You know what I mean?

And then and then you might have like a skater in there, you might have like whatever. I was like, damn. Those are all the guys that are Gen X though. Those are the guys we looked up to like the Tony Hawk guys, >> right? >> The car Asians were also heavily >> car Yeah. Yeah. Car Asians.

That was that was cool. >> When you go to the car shows and then you're just like, "Dude, that's ████ crazy. Where does all this money come from?"

By the time I was 15, 16, it became party crew Asians. >> Party crew Asians. >> Do you remember that? >> Yeah. >> You don't know cuz you're too ████ a fetus right now. But party crew Asians were like, >> "No, I know, dude." >> These people that would put together flyer parties and they were made of these groups like crews like, "Oh, Lion Hard got a party going. They're collabing with whatever this this group." And then like four groups would collab to throw one big party and they would like charge at the door, you know?

YouTube Asians was a very obvious like era though, >> but it didn't start cool. I felt like it was kind of gay, >> but it was cool from the outside looking in. >> It got cool. >> Yeah. >> Like I always thought it was cool because it was just cool to see all the Asian people doing that. >> I'm like that's dope to see, you know? >> Yeah. We always get forgotten because they don't want us associated all the time. Well, cuz back then people, you know, a lot of people forget that uh alternative entertainment in terms of like YouTube felt exclusively Asian because that's who was doing it the
9:13 most. And then you didn't really get white channels until like after it felt like it's also because we didn't have the same opportunities and spaces where everybody else was doing stuff. So, >> but the top dogs were always like the Asians. It was like Ryan Higga, Kev, Jamba. >> Yep. And then and then white people figured it out and they took it and they started Maker Studios. ████ Steve. But then like who do you think kids now look at like in terms of like peers? The coolest kids are I think I think the cool the cool kids now regardless of your age or not are the ones that have probably a social media presence. Like think about popularity contest in high school and then like add social media as the factor. So like somebody walking down the hall, you're like, "Yeah, that kid might look dorky, but that kid also has like 250k followers." >> Yeah, probably. >> Now it's a whole It's a completely
10:03 different game that somebody could play. They could still be introvert at school and then go home and have this like Twitch streaming situation that like speaks volumes, but it's like you could walk out with a big dick now and know that you're something of value even if you don't act like it. I think it's a totally different space. I know I know there's like, you know, some of my students and stuff like that who have like over 10,000 or over 50,000 followers as students and like think of having like if you're in ninth grade, you have like over 50,000 followers. Like what is that? >> That's pretty crazy. >> Let alone like the Bailey's and stuff who had like a million followers at like 14. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> That's that's a different version. It's even better if you know for sure it's not ████ creep old guys cuz Bailey was just like dope. Like it wasn't like those little kid girls that just be ████ >> being weird. That's that's just the world that like and people could be
10:53 famous because they collect Pokemon cards. People could be famous because they, you know, they do content with their parents. People could be famous cuz they're dancing. People, you know, and just roaming around. Anybody in high school could just be like somebody. They don't have to go to college if they don't want to cuz they could just quit high school now and probably be more successful than their >> That's got to be really weird. Yeah. be so I don't I won't understand it, but it's it's I mean it is what it is. It's cool for whatever they got to go through. >> But I wonder how common that is. Is it very common that almost every set of young people has a couple people within their arms reach that have like high social media following or do you think it's still sort of rare? >> Maybe like but it could be different platforms. I think maybe we're speaking from a bubble of like coming from like West Coast, >> West Coast, Southern California or even Nevada.
11:43 >> Well, because you wouldn't even know a kid unless it was like a famous kid. >> They might be like that guy. >> Yes, he gets the most famous kids. >> They might be like f Okay, the other thing >> I don't like the way that was worded, but we'll move on. >> It's funny cuz it's true, but it sounds weird, but it is true. It's >> like Yes. >> If you're a kid with a crazy social media following, what are the chances you're still going to school? You're not being homeschooled. >> Yeah. I don't know. That's true. Yeah. >> Well, imagine imagine that. Imagine you don't have a crazy following. Somehow you blow up. So instead of your parents being like, "Hey, we're going to take you out of school so you can homeschool." Like even that dynamic exists. Somebody got famous and then just disappeared from your friend group. Wait, you know what kind of does feel consistent though even to this day, which almost is the same as when we were young, is that you're in terms of groups, like you're not going to get like ████ a whole group of social media Asian kids, but you are still
12:34 going to get young ABGs that was there when we were kids. Like that was ABGs has been in existence since Asian girls moved to America. >> Yeah, it's the same thing. You know what I will say? I just recently went to uh the Foodie Fest thing. The one where they had the fights where they got a fight. Yeah. I went to the foodie fest. I was there with Nina and some homies and stuff. And um it one felt like Euphoria a little bit. Going to the carnival type ████ >> Just being around that many young people is weird, huh? >> A bunch. >> Anthony broke that one too, huh? >> I broke everything, baby. >> Anthony, >> I broke dance. I broke dance. >> We just got these new things. >> This is all Bart's fault. You know that he gave it Noah virus. Uh, that being said, we walk around and then I forgot that this is what people really do in high school. Everyone dresses the same. >> So, you just see an entire group of like
13:24 high school girls that got the same ████ like tight small top and then really baggy pants and the hair is done the exact same way, walking the same way, holding vapes the same way, like whatever. And it's it just trips you out. And then a bunch of dudes that are all wearing the exact same thing. Edgar haircuts. >> Yeah. And you're just like, >> "That's so funny." >> Oh, yeah. I forgot that everybody's like catching a vibe together at the same time. >> That's so true. >> It's funny because like that looks so funny to us now, but that's how we all were. >> Exactly. We thought we were so unique though. >> Thought Yeah, we thought we really did. >> You know, someone took a picture of all these girls at ASU and then the the caption said, "You'll never find another one like me." And then it was all like blonde girls that look exactly the same.
14:14 >> You're never going to find another one like me. That's that's a that's like people imaginary punching up where it's like you can't really make fun of the popular people cuz you can't ████ get her but you're like look how not unique these women are but none of them will ever even look at you. Shut the ████ up. >> It's like there's so many but you're still not dating. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's even worse that they're not rare and you still can't get them. Shut up, fool.
