^^ btw, at my kid’s middle school I don’t really see any “groups” based on clothes, style. Maybe the 8th graders? She’s in sixth. The trend for girls now is back to 80s with scrunches, mixed with jean shorts, vans, etc, but that hardly puts you in a “corner” with a label.

I've heard the same thing. I fail to see how drinking out of a hydroflask can be the marker of a social group. And I'm wearing an oversized t-shirt right now. Maybe I'm a VSCO girl and didn't know it?


+1

What a stupid label. Lol!

Ok, my daughter claims that there are no "VSCO" boys, and that Vineyard Vines is not a VSCO thing. Yes, there are "basic" (preppy?) boys, but that's not the same thing as VSCO.


Oh yeah Vineyard Vines is NOT VSCO

I feel this way as well. I am curious though - what are the other "groups" that are out there? Especially the ones that are non-basic?

Have long hair
Wear big baggy T-shirts over Nike shorts you can’t see

Tons of wrist scrunchies
Always carry a hydroflask (omg parents, I HATE THESE)
Use sksksksksksk when they type to mean they’re laughing
Now they’re actually saying it in real life along with and I oop
Use metal straws and say save the turtles

It’s essentially a girl who is “basic”




This is what I assumed as well. But my daughter said no, "basic" is it's own thing and VSCO is something else. I guess you have to be under 20 to understand.




I get the impression that VSCO is a type of basic, but there are other types of basic as well, including one group that is simply called "basic".


Yes. Not all girls who are “basic” are VSCO girls but all VSCO girls qualify as “basic.”

"VSCO girls" is a harmless trend but it sounds like your daughter could use a lesson in kindness.


Guarantee she was talking about her son



Why? Girls put down girls that belong to other social groups all the time.


Just the way it was worded. Sounds like a boy mom laughing at how her son makes fun of girls.

OMG, this is part of VSCO as well? I would have assumed that it was more "crunchy" - if that even exists anymore. But I find it funny, because my daughter who seems rather interested in being VSCO has talked about wanting a metal straw!
