    I saw a girl around twelve a few years ago wearing a Friends t-shirt; younger than the time since the shows ended. I didn’t really watch the show but I was surprised to see someone so young wearing it. I asked about it and she said she just liked the shirt. I said “oh, okay” and moved along.

      Nice - appreciate the lack of gatekeeping. I don’t understand people who have to skill check people’s hobbies/fandom.

      Not sure if there was a sudden surge of Friends content recently or if the show was rebooted or something, but here in Germany, a lot - and I mean a lot - of young people walk around in Friends shirts. Probably sold in H&M or something

        I think you’re right about H&M, though I know a lot of fans did a rewatch after the passing of Matthew Perry, so could be a lot of that too.
