QUIZ: 90S OR NOW?
There's almost nothing as stupid and pointless as an Internet quiz. We're well aware. But in this heavy time when life could be taken more seriously than ever, we decided to just say fuck it and succumb to the most innocuous of internet poisons. We welcome you to the premiere Jenkem Quiz! For our first time-wasting installment, we decided to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time: the reappropriation of the 90s in skateboarding. To have some fun, we rounded up 20 pictures – some from the 90s, others from today – and challenge you to try and figure out which one was shot in which era. It's as simple as that. Give the quiz a shot and see how good you are from separating the "cool kids" of today from the OGs of yesteryear.

“90s dickrider @15/20” WTF!
80s vs now would be a good one too…but the visions and airwalks would probably give it away.

9o’s dickrider,here!
it was fun,actually.keep em coming!
shoes were good clues.say,vans old school are vans old school but today’s are different.i could spot them from a mile distance and tell if they re todays vans or 90’s.remember when vans were “hand made in the USA”? also,stone-washed jeans and trucks.ventures were different back then.

18/20, but might wanna consider changing names for pictures next time. If you open them in separate tab for better view, kind a gives it away.
