I will never understand why these or the Herschel backpacks got big. At least Canada Goose coats are functional as well being horrendously overpriced - I wouldn't buy one, but if I did it'd probably keep me warm. That bag doesn't even look useful.

How did a water bottle end up being a status symbol? (Hydroflask)
- Thread starter Dalek
- Start date
What makes anything trendy? One "cool" kid gets one, then another, then everyone has to get one.

I always see kids wearing this backpack everywhere. My kids school, airports, San Francisco
Just waiting until op finds out about chunky filas
Vintage? Nice try but that's clearly a boomer meme
Bonus points because I'm using a vintage meme.
Wow, mind blown. Thank God I'm old and I don't have to keep up with that stuff.
Where are you seeing them for $15? They're usually closer to $40.
Expensive things are status symbols, doesn't matter what it is. You can buy a great Nalgene bottle for $10, or spend four times that for a nicer one with a recognizable logo.
Meh. looks like those stupid fat sneakers girls used to wear In the 90's.
It's more like... remember that cool looking S some people could draw even though it didn't mean anything? Except now kids don't use pencils or have any talent so this is the closest they can get to a shared culture.
I remember this from way back to my own school days. I am sorry, America.I wondering if those Fjallraven Kanken bags will be around this year again, seemed like everyone had one on campus.
It's like the new Jansport.
I've never heard of this brand, maybe because I'm from the UK, but if gets people to stop buying plastic water bottles then thats good.
Kanken, I see those around a little. Not so much in my town, but definitely in London all over the place. I think they look nice enough, but man they are small and expensive.. A Jansport for way cheaper and with life time warranty please. I just looked on the Kanken site and WOW at some of the prices...
£30 for a pencil case..
£50 for a toiletry bag...
£20 for a RAIN coat to go OVER your £100 backpack..
£50 laptop sleeve..
I just .. don't get it.

It's starting to creep up at my school, the vsco girl stuff.
I teach block coding to K-5 kids, they still draw that super S.
Vsco sounds like a name brand prescription medication. What are the side effects? Should I consult my doctor?
Do not take Vsco if you are allergic to Vsco.

A classic. Two different ways to do it, too!
I don't doubt it, it's was just the only kind of bottle at the store I was at lol
That too. You might as well not go to school without a jansport/trapper keeper combo.
Oh man, I remember when glass or plastic transparent yoyos were the thing. Especially the ones that lit up or coca cola versions.
Then you had the kids whose parents got them a cheap solid color plastic version. Those poor poor kids.
Knew about the VSCO girl thing but randomly found out about "E-Girls" and "Soft Girls" this weekend. I'm old.
damn i didn't know hydroflasks were a status thing, my roommate got me one for my birthday a few years back and i just thought it was a nice sturdy bottle for my water needs
You can find plenty of better priced stainless vacuum insulated bottles but comparing these to Nalgene doesn't make sense. Those bottle don't keep anything cold and sweat.
Whenever I see a Yeti sticker on someone's SUV I always wonder how a fucking cooler became a cultural identity.
Salt Life is another odd one IMO. I live in Illinois and see them often.
as an owner of a mint DB 5, it is kinda of wrong for you call out trendy folks
Seems like a harmless trend, and overall pretty cheap compared to other stuff kids can be into.
You lucked out OP.

I don't feel like they're all that pricey. Lifetime warranty and it keeps your water cool (which is a big deal in the desert where I am).
Oh snap! I got these for a camping trip last year.
I've been hip this whole time.
Bow down, bitches!
