    The entire grunge scene was “skinny white guy cool” and that was prior to Y2K. I mean, FFS, Cobain was dead by '94, but even non-grunge skinny-white-guy-cool was firmly 90s. Smashing Pumpkins peaked in '95, JNCO was bankrupt by '94, Trainspotting released in '96, etc. Sifl & Olly was cancelled in '99. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      I meant more in comedy. It was skinny nerdy less attractive white guys with glasses.

      I mean, let’s be real, there’s never been a bad time to be a white guy, I just meant in comedy the unspoken thru joke underneath so many comedies was skinny white guy “unexpectedly” wins
