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.

I disagree with the backside boneless @ Riverside Park, there’s no way that’s now. Those guys are super strict about pads

got 19/20 correct but I was really just checking the context of each photo, like wheel size, jeans etc. doesn’t mean anything about being a 90s fashionista or even living through it or any of that shit, just some good guesses using deductive reasoning and context.
