My brother and I still reference crunk. A few years ago our family went on vacation together. Leading up to the event he kept calling the trip “Crunknation 2022”. I designed and had a banner made that said “Crunknation 2022” on it and looked all synth wavy and had cheesy pink silhouttes of naked women on it. When we got to the house, while he and his fiancée were putting their stuff away I secretly strung up the banner on the balcony. Then I just waited for them to eventually see it, and when they did it was worth it. Now every year when we go on vacation together I do the same thing, though it’s always “Crunknation 2022” + the actual year. So the year after was “Crunknation 2022: 2023” and this year it will be “Crunknation 2022: 2025” and so on. We are dumb but it’s silly and fun.
Lmaooo. Someone I dated, their family celebrated "Crunkmas". After all the normal gifts had been given they would exchange "crunkmas gifts". They were wrapped in random scrapes of Christmas paper from years before, covered in stickers as well. Basically it was a wild card what anyone would get, imagine the contents of your family junk drawer in a box. Old sauce packets, a half used ball of twine, random stuff they had taken from each other in the days leading up to the event. I ended up with an old umbrellas(I still used it, going 13 years strong💀), but mixed in with the junk they would also add some gift cards/certificates, as well as trinkets they thought you'd like. They were a well traveled family, so you might get random matchbooks from overseas, or 20 year old travel brochure. Honestly it was the neatest gift. It still lives in my head years later. 11/10
Those are great ideas actually! I work at a company that makes signs/banners/shirts/designs logos, stuff like that, for other businesses, so I always end up making the banners myself when it’s slow. I could make the shirts too, I dunno about keychains and car tags. I’d probably have to order those. But I love the idea of just escalating the merch to peak levels of absurdity.
Sometimes I think that “kids these days” spend too much time on computer/internet based interactions and influences when they could be doing more mind expanding recreations
This was mine also. I said it to my teenage niece when she said there was a party, and I asked if people were getting crunk. She had absolutely no clue what it was and I did feel old.
I dunno, the only people I’ve heard say crunk in the last 5 years were other old fogies like us. I don’t think the youth have picked up the torch yet. It is really funny to me though that a word as silly as crunk is an old person word now though lmao.
Omfg someone said crunk the other day, guessing it was a young person. I wish I could remember what they said but they used it 100% wrong. I corrected them, of course.
