Meet 'bronies' -- grown men who are fans of My Little Pony

I don't see a whole lot of difference between nerdy fanboys who like this cartoon and nerdy fanppl who like all manner of things and attend conventions about them. Right down to their penchant for silly hats.

xp I totally have a fedora pic of me from jr high.

I desperately wanted a porkpie hat in the days of third-wave ska. Thankfully e-commerce was a little less developed and I sure as fuck wasn't going to find one locally.

guys, I owned a fedora, a bicycle cap with the name of my German camp on it, a Dr Seuss raver hat and a green baseball cap with a cartoon mascot from a Japanese baseball team on it by the time I was TWENTY; I think I have put in my time in the bad hat trenches and am allowed to chuckle at those that came after me

oh, also a reversible skull cap

there are a lot of bronies who are not into like furry shit, but there are definitely furry bronies

I came pretty close to ordering a t-shirt with the japanese baseball player on it that the dude wore in the big lebowski

idg reversible skull cap - does it reverse into a normal looking baseball cap or something

like, 'oh shit some hot chicks are coming by - quick, before they see me!' *reverses skull cap*

one side was black with a partial headband around the front; the other side was a red striped pattern

i'm fascinated with just how much goggles girl looks like a videogame character http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Technology/Pix/pictures/2008/05/07/WorldEndsYou460x276.jpg

at any rate, nothing could really hide my non-perscription Dwayne Wayne sunglasses

i was rather fond of a gilligan-style hat when i was a college freshman, which was my bad-hat phase.

unless you count baseball caps.

oh shit I had one of those too, also reversible

JSR is getting rereleased? on what platform? whoa!

XBLA and PSN iirc

mocking people with alternative lifestyles, what have we come to

at any rate, nothing could really hide my non-perscription Dwayne Wayne sunglasses

OK, I take back my previous statement

aw one day I will get an xbox that fell off the back of a truck.

we need to start a 'bad hats you have owned' thread

eisbaer that is known as a BUCKET HAT and it is ALWAYS HIP

goggles-girl does kind of look like Tank Girl, come to think of it:

when i was in elementary school i had dwayne wayne flip-up sunglasses over my regular glasses for awhile, to match my dad. NOT HIP.

I went on a high school orchestra trip my freshman year of high school. This was when I had long hair. I ended up buying some french-style wool beret and wore it around WDW most of the next day, after we performed in the Magic Kingdom.

Wool beret, long hair, Florida in spring. Makes perfect sense.

did you wear a fanny pack

pics pls

my friends had 1. clip-on shades via magnets and 2. glasses that grew dark in sunlight

huge nerds

I had another pair of sunglasses that were round frames with square lenses inside them, and another pair of those shutter sunglasses Kanye started wearing around circa Graduation

fyi I never spent more than $10 on any of these

was gonna try to work "bronyoner" in somewhere, but it's all about hats now

and i was way nerdier in hs than any of those posers

I actually lost track of that beret a few years ago and am still fuming about it for some reason. I think I wanted to use it for a halloween costume.

never owned a fedora

pretty sure i owned a top hat, tho

^^^ respect

i've always wanted a fez

there are at least two girls in every high school in california that wear big tank-girl style glasses

"nerdery" maybe seems not quite as mocked as it was when "we" were kids (realize i'm writing to a wide audience but i'm assuming i'm around the upper end of the median at 35) ... it seems like a LOT more kids are into stuff like video games, anime, cartoons than when i was a teenager.

not sure how or why this is but i bet it has something to do w/ everyone having cable and internet

my brother is holding on to his collection mid-90s Kangols, waiting until they're cool again

a fez?

6'5" 350+ pounds wearing Kangols and vests my mom sewed while running a comic book store

kind of amazed my brother wasn't a Juggalo tbh

kangol douche

akbar and jeff may well have been my spur for fez-love, i confess.
