I got called a school shooter and eventually ended up being barred from entering the school if I wore that coat in the winter. I was also called into the principal's office during senior year of high school because a teacher thought i was a school shooter. I'm in college now, alone, and depressed. On the upside, I don't get catcalled despite being a biological female. The coat itself was a hand me down coat from my mother. I want to be a geneticist someday, and I'll be wearing trenchcoats until I die because they are aesthetically pleasing, and I enjoy the feeling of having a coat being blown behind you by the wind like some sort of supervillain.
No reason to stop wearing them, Honestly I've had myself a successful run of it, and I wear trench coats because I find them to be very sharp looking, and they are comfortable. If they are well fitted and designed they are incredibly aesthetically pleasing. so Absolutely, just keep doing and wearing what makes you happy. The only thing that changed for me from highschool with the trench coats was that Back then I only had one from goodwill, now I have 13, (including that ratty old leather goodwill one) and a lot of them are London Fog, and Wilson's leather.
Ok, kiddo. First off, people suck. At the end of the day the only things you can control are your own thoughts and actions. Wear the trench. Look like the badass you know you are. (I prefer doc martens, plaid schoolgirl-esque skirt and Boondock Saints tee w/guns on it) and never let anyone define you but your own damn self. And someday, when you're receiving an award for the incredible genetic discoveries or contributions you've made, put the trench on as you accept your award. 😘
My bf was the kid everyone thought was going to shoot up the school. Wasn't really weird, was just a goth metalhead in the South, who was poor and getting abused by his mother.
For me it's so interesting to see Americans see a 'trench coat' kid as a school shooter or someone who does drugs(?) Here in Europe, trench coats are quite common and a fashion icon The popular girls at my school always have them Talk about cultural differences
Trench coats are portrayed as being able to effectively conceal multiple long guns and pistols in movies/media often, plus the fact a few school shooters have done so as well. Despite the stereotypes they are quite nice looking imo.
@@RamielEdits the trench coats aren’t usually nice or fashionable. Usually army surplus and in dark colors. A light colored nice trench coat is very different than what these kids wear.
He became a security guard after many years of false starts making a life for himself. Has three kids through marriage. Unfortunately, had a divorce, but stayed a father to the kids regardless. You guessed it! That trench coat kid was me.
Wait, if all the stereotypes of Trench coats are dark, creepy and such, what if you wore like a brightly colored one? If you wear like a beige or a light gray one, would that nullify the edge?
I wore a light brown trench coat and eveyone thought i was a nazi, and that i looked like female hitler- Thus i only wear green and black trench coats lol.
@@lyenye7018 They're not really supposed to. But it was just one tiny noodle. It was a one time thing she hasn't had since. Ramen is too high in salt so I wouldn't give them the broth. Plushie is a very friendly girl and just happened to be chilling with my husband while he was having a bowl. I think he just dropped a broken short noodle and she snapped it up.
@@LostPeopleOfEarth158 ok, thats actually really cute. I would pay any amount of money for a huge (im talking medieval nobility portrait size) painting of a guinea pig with one, rogue noodle hanging out of its mouth.
Cue the 'Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man' meme, I guess, because I too am a chef who still owns a trench coat. The leather is great for blocking the wind in the middle of winter up here.
He grew up, got married, had kids, became a loving husband and a kickass dad who plays video games, legos, has blanket fort and nerf gun wars with his kids and... Wait for it... Didn't kill anyone! I know! Shocking, right!?
@@Dawnisnthome That is such a beautiful thing! I just got the news the other day I'm going to be an uncle and I couldn't stop grinning like a goofy idiot for hours! Asking me to form a complete sentence without having an explosion out of sheer mind blowing awesomeness and thinking about how cute this little one is going to be, how proud I am of my little brother, how much I want to hug the new mommy to be, how much I want to pick up her daughter, put her on my shoulders and run around their back yard screaming "YOU'RE GUNNA BE A BIG SISTER!!!" Oh man I'm at it again! I can't stop smiling!
@@genocidalyoukai7890 When a product produced by a certain company has been the top dog in it's field for many, MANY years (such as Lego), it often becomes the unofficial name of the product. Why do you think some people call tissues "Kleenexes", or why some people refer to all sodas as "Coke"s?
@@RipRLeeErmey I just saw your username and I gotta say, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman is my hero! I wanna say about two or three months ago I went from being quiet as a mouse to full metal Hartman on Karen at my local grocery store. I fully expected to get thrown out but instead I got a round of applause.
I just friggin' liked wearing a trenchcoat since it made me feel comfortable (I'm autistic (not that anyone knew at the time, not even me), the weight of the coat helped, and people didn't mistake me for a girl and harass me for just looking feminine when I wore it. I was told at some point that I was unofficially voted the "Most likely to come back as a school shooter", and I had an hour long breakdown where I laughed uncontrollably on a hill between the back parking lot and the building. To everyone who assumed that I wanted to kill people because they socially isolated me; I don't give a shit about your opinion anymore. I just hope you all grew up and don't treat people like that now.
He became a chef, I became a teacher. We still listen to Marilyn Manson. We help other young ones find their path, and let them know being different is beautiful.
Former borderline-trenchcoat kid here. I dressed in all black, had the chains on my pants and neck, etc. All that was missing was the trenchcoat because they were crazy expensive at the time. All the bullying and whatnot that goes with it in Jr. High and High School. A year after dropping out of college due to a personal tragedy, I realized I was being a lazy shit man-child and had zero direction in life. So I joined the military, fulfilled my 6 year contract, and now I work in IT making good money. So, it took awhile, but I'm okay now. Definitely a late bloomer.
I was that kid. Long black trenchcoat, black fedora, black dyed hair, heavy black eye makeup- essentially what you picture when you hear the word “emo.” However, I got away with it because while I was somewhat shy, I was also openly sweet to anyone who spoke to me. I’m also assigned female at birth(afab), so that probably had something to do with it. Anyways, I got the reputation of being the kid who looked like they’d shoot up the school but would most likely be the one trying to stop a shooter. I don’t look anything like that anymore. Now, I wear lots of bright colors and patterns(regardless of how well they go together) and I just generally look like I jumped out of the 1980’s. I’ve also become more abrasive and snarky, but that’s because people are stupid and need to be put straight once in a while.
I actually was one of the trench coat kids in highschool. Just loved all of the storage. Got pockets sewn on every part of the inside. What can I say? I never like leaving stuff in a locker XD I still own another one, but that's just because winter winds are cold as f*ck over here.
Damn, the Trenchcoat Kid at my school was literally insane. He had a huge head and was super loud, and kept on accusing a kid with a skin condition of being an alien. His goth sister was chill, though. Last I heard of him was that he's still trying to hunt that ""alien""
Trenchcoat kid became my best friend. Eventually he grew out of the trenchcoat thing and now looks like a real deal 1800's cowboy. Pulls it off well, too. Reliable guy, like a brother to me.
One of my best friends in high school was a trenchcoat kid. He was really sweet and goofy, despite the fact that he wore all black and listened to metal. Then there was that other trenchcoat kid who believed he was Edward Cullen and got expelled for punching the vice principal in the face.
@@jasdanvm3845 yeah ever since school shootings became prevalent, mainly columbine for some reason, the trench coat kid became like a sub genre of the quiet kid
I was the trench coat kid at my school. I have four children. I’ve raised a foster child. I wear a kilt and mohawk every day. My kids and I listen to a lot of heavy metal. I work health care.
This "trench coat kid" is an american thing? In Europe we have strange kids but trench coat is not seen as that . And if you go to París you are going to see trench coats everywhere.
I was the trenchcoat guy, kinda still am but I developed more avoidant, paranoid, and didnt’t like the stares, so now I just have a simple leatherjacket. Still a metalhead though.
That’s why I would never wear a trench coat in school, people would say that I would shoot up the school. Hell I was called a satanist for wearing a slipknot shirt
I actually did used to wear trench coats in high school and college all the time, but alot of people that saw me either didn't care or they actually liked my style. the only people that were worried were my family, but even they got used to it. PS, I was the only goth in high school
I was the edgy/goth girl and I dated the trenchcoat kid. He left me for my first friend I made in HS, got rejected, and has been trying to reconnect with me ever since. I'm happily in a relationship of almost 5 years and studying cybersecurity. He's currently working at a gas station spending his free time asking people I used to hang out with about me, how I am, etc.
The trench coat kid from my high school didn't really do anything in school. He would growl at people when they would talk to him. He got into a fight with a guy and he got KOd. He got back up screaming like he was going super saiyan. It's been 5 years since graduation and hes still trenchcoating it up. He seems to be doing okay now, I think he just likes trenchcoats lmao
He bought me a slushie in 7-11 once so I thought I could trust him, but then he gave the popular girl drain cleaner to drink and shot two of the football team boys. Why couldn’t we just be 17?
My friend was the trench coat kid, everyone thought he was going to shoot up the school or make a bomb. The dude was normal. Like totally normal, which is sad. He loved wearing cat shirts, jeans and tennis shoes, the nicest dude you’d ever meet and just like being a goofball. He wasn’t violent but he was insanely smart. I haven’t talked to him in a couple years seeing as he didn’t believe in having social media and didn’t call/text regularly. He worked at a medical supplement factory. I have no idea where is he or if he’s alright. But I love you man, you always got us to smile when we just couldn’t
So I knew this guy in college who wore a large trench coat. I kinda saw him as an older brother/mentor. I kinda copied how he dressed and hung out with him all the time. We both had radio shows on the college radio station and we both played alternative, emo, and punk music. Around 2017, he left the college and cut off contact with me and a few friends. I haven’t heard from him in 6 years and miss him terribly. It’s hard losing a close friend out of nowhere when they suddenly think your creepy and leave you when you really didn’t do anything wrong. I miss you dude. If you stumble upon this video and see my comment, please message me.
I can't say what he's like now, but dude was a total dick when we dated and cheated on me with my friend. He called her terrible things and destroyed her mentally(dodged that bullet when I broke up with him). If karma is a real thing I'd imagine he's in a ditch at the moment.
I did some underground mixtapes, indie rap albums. Did some light touring, did the Rap Olympics, Scribble Jam and the MTV battle in NYC. Now, I have a totally respectable non- music career and can barely freestyle 8 bars anymore 🤣
Damn. The Kid that wanted to be the rapper was a asshole. He tried making music and sang long to Eminem. He seemed ok but his attitude was terrible. He was a bully an hurt other kids who wanted to be singer/raper. He got bullied after someone caught him singing along to Rihannas umbrella.
He was my brother he wasn't "the trench coat kid" personality he just liked to draw and do computer coding the only thing that made him "the trench coat kid" was because he got a trench coat that he really liked and was convenient for all weather also maybe his choosed to wear a top hat for school events.
Trench coats have always been a symbol of fashion to me, it's sad that trench coats get made fun of especially in school or get ruined by perverts, they have a very distinct almost 1700's feel to them.
Not quite the the leather or trench kid, but I wear dark clothing and a black coat I’m constantly asked if their on my “hit list” it eventually became a joke
He was my best friend, gave me his trench coat, then I moved, then o was the trench coat kid, never wore it tho, but still had the personality, was introverted to shit, but did partake in conversations if I was a part of them, my jokes where seen as dark to some, and funny too others, since they understood dark humour, then there was the laugh, that alone made me the creepiest kid in school, I sound like a horror movie kid when I laugh, now I'm trying to set my life straight. By that, I mean get my GED since I dropped out, and get me a collage education. I wanna make music as my career, but also work in history, and I'm currently creating the world to my fantasy saga, I also make poetry, done so since middle school
I am 37, I work in home health, and i am renting the house i plan to buy one day... But i STILL like my long coats and other goth/steampunk gear and will wear it just for a trip to Walmart if i feel the urge
He's forever known to me as my rapist. His entire school hated him. His first workplace (where we met) hated him. Mom is a drunk that excused his actions and said I should've just been better. Step dad paid for his college out of town where he's trying to study to be a lawyer. I hope his new girlfriend doesn't have to go through what I went through. But those were the scariest years of my life and I wish I spoke up sooner.
I guess I was the trench coat kid at school. When I was a sophomore a group of my bullies told the teachers and counselors that I had a kill list. I didn't really get in trouble for it because most of the teachers knew what I was about, and more upperclassmen than I could count vouched for me as well. They just didn't like that I was a band nerd and went to an all-male school. I needed to play sports but no, I loved marching and was super passionate about it and not much else. Never owned a trench coat but almost bought one after college. Now I'm in the Air Force and have the best enlisted job that I can get. We had a reunion not too long ago and we were all talking like friends and it was a nice breath of fresh air.
I was that kid in high school. Wannabe goth/emo kid who dressed like keannu in the matrix. Married my high school girlfriend, went to college, became a professional tailor. Still love long coats, but i usually go for something classier than leather now.
I own a leather trench coat, it's so nice for the winter. I've always been weary about getting those "school shooter" accusations when wearing it, but more often than not people would compliment it. I was a pretty big weirdo in HS when hanging out with friends, otherwise I kept mostly to myself drawing or reading. Didn't do a whole lot of socializing unless someone else instigated a conversation with me.
I just graduated high school back in June. I used to have a trench coat but I never wore it to school for for obvious reasons. I was a goth metalhead all throughout high school and I still am. I love the goth aesthetic. It brings me joy. And I’ve always loved the look of trench coats (mainly thanks to my obsession with plague doctors and because of the show Invader ZiM and the comic JTHM). Never be afraid to wear what makes you happy! =)
0:56 actually happened to me. I didnt wear trenchcoats in highschool but im a metalhead type dude, and the school for a long time thought i was suicidal. After school one day, the school cop and a sergeant came to my house. They basically tried to get me to admit that i was planning to commit a school shooting, which is obviously a felony. Turns out a couple i didnt get along with made it up, and everyone who was present when i allegedly made the threat all vouched for me and said they never heard anything like that. it really made me hate the school administration more than i already did.
23:56 That's literally from the movie Heather's, looks like someone's either pulling a really crap joke or just wanted internet karma for having an 'edgy' post...
His name was Jason. He dated a girl who joined the popular group. After many suicides, he planned to blow up the school but his gf stopped him. He blew himself up.
I wore a kinda trench coat. I was the band nerd. I was also an academic rebel, challenging authority and the system. I now am working as a bartender saving up money to open a coffee shop/ school once the world is back too normal. I still do preform music on my off time. My style now is wearing Hawaiian shirts, dyed hair and just a "vibe" I have grown up a lot sense high school.
My school didn't have a trench coat kid, but we did have a straight jacket kid. He would come in in a straight jacket with chains on it. Was actually a cool guy best I could tell.
He was always hanging out at the back of the school and talked about knives, but I actually became pretty good friends with him and is an overall good person, feel kinda bad bc he gets excluded from everything.
I owned a trenchcoat for a while-still do. My best friend who moved away gave it to me for my birthday. Loved it, it looked very matrix-esque, but of course, I got some flack for it. By the way, it had a black floral design on each of the shoulders, so it wasn't too shooter-like. Anytime someone made a comment on it, though, I kinda just let it roll off of me. I knew the story behind it, I wore it because I liked it and it reminded me that my friend always had my back. Not to mention, he shirts I typically wore had something like a peace sign or the name of a summer camp I went to (yeah, my style is a bit odd) so that really kind of cut off any kind of shooter vibe.
He always looked professional looking with his trench coat. All from his clothes and hair it looked like he was going somewhere important. I don't remember what he studied for, but he went to college and now he makes a lot of money. I'm very happy for him because at school all the other guys mostly would bully him. It was all because of the way he dressed.
He joined the navy, got stationed on an aircraft carrier. One day he managed to fall off the side into the water. Completely smashed himself up. Discharged, full disability. Lost tracking him after that. I imagine he’s just a weirdo sitting at home now.
He's still one of my best friends, 20 years later! He lives with his parents, but he has a good job doing IT. He still dresses the same. Still listens to good music. Still can't find a decent girlfriend!
He poisoned a Heather, shot the two jocks, and tried to blow up the school but in the end he blew himself up. This is not a true story, this is Heathers
I was the trench coat kid back in the late 90s. I had it because I'd gotten a paid internship for a bank at 15, so I wanted to have something comfortable to wear to both school and work during winter months without having to go home to change. And yeah, I was the quiet loner for a lot of reasons. I'm what's now called non-binary, but no one knew the terminology back then. I was just that one oddly pretty guy that got targeted for bullying. That's a horror story all on its own. When Columbine happened, I was questioned if I was going to do anything similar. And of course I wasn't; I just wanted to be left alone. I graduated with perfect grades at 16. Got into Berkeley immediately, but couldn't afford it. My mom had lost my college fund due to a bad investment, and lost her job just after I left high school. Thanks to my banking job, I knew better than to get student loans. So I put myself through college without them; I had to work 3 jobs and sacrifice a ton to make that happen. But that's a whole other story. In fact, it'd take too long to post everything here. So, I'll just do a cliffnotes version: I briefly moved to Southeast Asia between high school and college, then came back stateside. Gave up on Berkeley and went to a community college instead, then transferred later. It saved me a fortune, and I graduated debt-free. My first degree was in English (writing is my arguably my greatest skill, and I love reading), so I focused on my banking career. I overcame the harassment and drama I'd suffered throughout my childhood and learned how to accept myself. I came out to my mom, which went horrendously; I had to walk out on her. Also got out of the cult I was raised in. Also became a prolific video game reviewer. I continued working on my banking career for another 15 years, then burned out and was forced into therapy. It saved my life, and forced me to confront where my life was heading.I spent the next few years traveling; as of May 2021, I've been to 25 countries / 5 continents. It would've been 26/6 if it weren't for COVID. I've gone on adventures most people only dream about. Beaches, mountains, forests, deserts, glaciers, volcanoes, ruins, UNESCO sites, you name it, I'm up for it. Since I couldn't travel due to the pandemic, I took advantage of the downtime and invention of Zoom to go back to college remotely. Just a couple of days ago, I completed the coursework for degrees in Environmental Science and Geography. So as the pandemic winds down, I'll be coming out much further ahead than most people, equipped with knowledge that'll be essential in growing markets for the next few decades. TLDR: I was the trench coat kid back in the late 90s. I put myself through college, came out, got out of the cult I was raised in, was a game reviewer, had a 15 year career in banking, burned out, traveled the world, and spent the pandemic earning degrees in Environmental Science and Geography. I could probably still rock a trench coat, but I mainly use a pea coat now.
I was the peacoat/trenchcoat punk kid with a Mohawk. Everyone thought I'd shoot up the school. People were surprised when it was someone else who brought a gun to school. The only thing they got right about me was that I'd have a large amounts of firearms. I'm a hunter and a avid gun collector
I was the trench coat kid. I was just wearing it because... I know everyone will hate me but... It was because sao was my favorite anime, and the main character wore a trench coat.
He got married and has a few kids. They're a mixed race family, too, so not only is he not a murderer he's also not racist (like most people in my area). I see him at the flea market every few years. He still wears trenchcoats.
I dated the trenchcoat kid a few weeks during the one year he was there. He ended up calling me a few years after graduation and asked me to move to CA to be a prostitute for him. Sounds like I dodged a bullet, or possibly being trafficked. -_-
on the last day before lockdown, he gave 2 or 3 (amount of rifles) meter high water rifles (hidden in his trench coat) to friends and it became one heck of a day, he was in year eleven.
I *was* the trench coat kid in high school. Definitely got a lot of jokes about being a shooter. Worked a lot of shit jobs. Then last year I started in a position at a gun manufacturer. Then moved on to machinist at that same manufacturer. Now this week I got promoted to a supervisor at the same place. Life is wild.
I live in the UK. My friend was the trench coat kid in our school. We were good friends and still are. He'd always come in to school wearing one but wasn't quiet or introverted. The reason I think he wore a trench coat was because he was obsessed with military history-notably wwii-and he liked the style from photos he'd seen. He grew into the emo scene and started liking bands like Black Veil Brides and Fearless Vampire Killers, even dipping his toes into the dark make up territory whilst still wearing the coat. Now he's married to a wonderful American woman and living happily in the States, converted to Christianity and is in the US Army... Did I also mention his nickname now is redcoat? He went from the trenchcoat kid to the redcoat Brit
I was the “trench coat kid” and I just really enjoyed trench coats mainly because I had a weird issue with my own body. Made people scared of me which I didn’t like but things ended up alright. I still wear trench coats and I have a bunch of friends. Life’s going good.
I *have* a Trenchcoat kid that I'm really good friends with! On top of that, he's not the type of kid to drugs or something but he *has* scared an English teacher during a club. In the creative writing club, he's the resident horror writer and he acts (i mean acts as in it just being a bit he does. Its an act, yknow) like your stereotypical 'creepy villian' type. And he also throws Bully Maguire into every open conversation in that thing! Its hilarious-
The one at 6:58, about the guy who believes he's a vampire, werewolf and dragon, and is apparently dating a 12 year-old (disgusting)...it reminds me an awful lot of this case Baily Sarian once covered about a 12 year-old girl and her 23 year-old ''boyfriend'' who, together, murdered the girl's family. He apparently also believed he was a 300 year-old werewolf...can't help but wonder if they're the same person...
The trench coat kid was my brother, he had a very old timy and eccentric sense of fashion. But everyone loved him because he's just so kind and is always smiling. He was basically everyone's best friend and usually had large groups of children follow him around, which he would take on little adventures and sit and talk to while waiting to be picked up. So yeah, great with kids, enthusiastic about fashion, super imaginative, loves people and takes great interest in others. He's also a total goof and has no sense of embarrassment, there is always a laugh to be had around him. He was really fun to grow up with, I was so blessed to have him as a brother. Oh, and he still wears the trench coat, but now he has a pocket watch and a cain to match, lol!😆
He became a lifeguard. Was really friendly with everyone, made jokes, was the class clown, and was on the school swimming team. He was very well liked by the teachers too. Gray Silver III, if you're reading this, you are awesome
I was a trenchcoat kid, as was my boyfriend... still wear my trenchcoat every winter(i lived in ny) I'm still kinda gothy,and morbid,Im also a mom an wife.
This list is fucking wild. One story could be about how he’s a normal dude with a normal job and the next story is that he’s a fucking werewolf with telekinesis or some shit.
I was the trench coat kid. Found it in a thrift store. I loved that coat. It was a London Fog with a zip in liner. I always wondered why my classmates avoided me when I wore it. Good days.
I got called a school shooter and eventually ended up being barred from entering the school if I wore that coat in the winter. I was also called into the principal's office during senior year of high school because a teacher thought i was a school shooter. I'm in college now, alone, and depressed. On the upside, I don't get catcalled despite being a biological female. The coat itself was a hand me down coat from my mother. I want to be a geneticist someday, and I'll be wearing trenchcoats until I die because they are aesthetically pleasing, and I enjoy the feeling of having a coat being blown behind you by the wind like some sort of supervillain.
Cool, I'm studying molecular genetics. Just dont shoot up our office... (and that was a joke my friend)
No reason to stop wearing them, Honestly I've had myself a successful run of it, and I wear trench coats because I find them to be very sharp looking, and they are comfortable. If they are well fitted and designed they are incredibly aesthetically pleasing. so Absolutely, just keep doing and wearing what makes you happy. The only thing that changed for me from highschool with the trench coats was that Back then I only had one from goodwill, now I have 13, (including that ratty old leather goodwill one) and a lot of them are London Fog, and Wilson's leather.
Jokes on you, I catcall every trench coat wearing female I meet... haven't met any yet...
Nice taste.
Although tbh ive never seen a female school shooter so not sure why they would accuse you of that
Ok, kiddo. First off, people suck. At the end of the day the only things you can control are your own thoughts and actions. Wear the trench. Look like the badass you know you are. (I prefer doc martens, plaid schoolgirl-esque skirt and Boondock Saints tee w/guns on it) and never let anyone define you but your own damn self. And someday, when you're receiving an award for the incredible genetic discoveries or contributions you've made, put the trench on as you accept your award. 😘
I married him. He wasn't that typical trench kid, he was just a hardcore metalhead. He's an engineer now.
Congratulations
Lmao sounds just like my boyfriend 😂
@@emilyblair6460 uh oh.........
@@emilyblair6460 might wanna talk with your "boyfriend" just in case
I became a registered nurse after the military. Still wear the trench coat occasionally
My bf was the kid everyone thought was going to shoot up the school. Wasn't really weird, was just a goth metalhead in the South, who was poor and getting abused by his mother.
So often the Bam Margera peacoat type might be confused for the dangerous trenchcoat type
Big tiddy goth bf
How is he now?
And then the blond cheerleader with the purity ring shot up the school. Nobody saw it coming.
Rhys Hansen its literally anonymous dude
For me it's so interesting to see Americans see a 'trench coat' kid as a school shooter or someone who does drugs(?)
Here in Europe, trench coats are quite common and a fashion icon
The popular girls at my school always have them
Talk about cultural differences
Holy shit you guys have decent fashion!?!?
*packs bags furiously*
Because Columbine shooter ruined the whole vibe
Trench coats are portrayed as being able to effectively conceal multiple long guns and pistols in movies/media often, plus the fact a few school shooters have done so as well.

Wait, if all the stereotypes of Trench coats are dark, creepy and such, what if you wore like a brightly colored one? If you wear like a beige or a light gray one, would that nullify the edge?

hot pink trenchcoat time
You could pair a brown trench coat with a matching hat and ridiculously log scarf and BAM you're Doctor Who.
I wore a light brown trench coat and eveyone thought i was a nazi, and that i looked like female hitler-

Can guinea pigs even eat ramen?

Looks like I found a kindred spirit. I was the trench coat kid in high school too. Still wear them to this day and I also became a chef.😁

That is such a beautiful thing! I just got the news the other day I'm going to be an uncle and I couldn't stop grinning like a goofy idiot for hours! Asking me to form a complete sentence without having an explosion out of sheer mind blowing awesomeness and thinking about how cute this little one is going to be, how proud I am of my little brother, how much I want to hug the new mommy to be, how much I want to pick up her daughter, put her on my shoulders and run around their back yard screaming "YOU'RE GUNNA BE A BIG SISTER!!!" Oh man I'm at it again! I can't stop smiling!
Legos isn’t a word, it’s called lego bricks.

Just for that... I will only ever call them Legos from now on.
@@genocidalyoukai7890 When a product produced by a certain company has been the top dog in it's field for many, MANY years (such as Lego), it often becomes the unofficial name of the product. Why do you think some people call tissues "Kleenexes", or why some people refer to all sodas as "Coke"s?

I just saw your username and I gotta say, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman is my hero! I wanna say about two or three months ago I went from being quiet as a mouse to full metal Hartman on Karen at my local grocery store. I fully expected to get thrown out but instead I got a round of applause.
I just friggin' liked wearing a trenchcoat since it made me feel comfortable (I'm autistic (not that anyone knew at the time, not even me), the weight of the coat helped, and people didn't mistake me for a girl and harass me for just looking feminine when I wore it. I was told at some point that I was unofficially voted the "Most likely to come back as a school shooter", and I had an hour long breakdown where I laughed uncontrollably on a hill between the back parking lot and the building.
To everyone who assumed that I wanted to kill people because they socially isolated me; I don't give a shit about your opinion anymore. I just hope you all grew up and don't treat people like that now.

Former borderline-trenchcoat kid here. I dressed in all black, had the chains on my pants and neck, etc. All that was missing was the trenchcoat because they were crazy expensive at the time. All the bullying and whatnot that goes with it in Jr. High and High School.
A year after dropping out of college due to a personal tragedy, I realized I was being a lazy shit man-child and had zero direction in life. So I joined the military, fulfilled my 6 year contract, and now I work in IT making good money. So, it took awhile, but I'm okay now. Definitely a late bloomer.
I support you! :3

@@thanetastic5608 there are usually two sides to every story
I was that kid. Long black trenchcoat, black fedora, black dyed hair, heavy black eye makeup- essentially what you picture when you hear the word “emo.” However, I got away with it because while I was somewhat shy, I was also openly sweet to anyone who spoke to me. I’m also assigned female at birth(afab), so that probably had something to do with it. Anyways, I got the reputation of being the kid who looked like they’d shoot up the school but would most likely be the one trying to stop a shooter.
I don’t look anything like that anymore. Now, I wear lots of bright colors and patterns(regardless of how well they go together) and I just generally look like I jumped out of the 1980’s. I’ve also become more abrasive and snarky, but that’s because people are stupid and need to be put straight once in a while.
You sound really cool, both in the past and the present!
I actually was one of the trench coat kids in highschool. Just loved all of the storage. Got pockets sewn on every part of the inside. What can I say? I never like leaving stuff in a locker XD I still own another one, but that's just because winter winds are cold as f*ck over here.

I actually did used to wear trench coats in high school and college all the time, but alot of people that saw me either didn't care or they actually liked my style. the only people that were worried were my family, but even they got used to it.
PS, I was the only goth in high school
I was the edgy/goth girl and I dated the trenchcoat kid.
He left me for my first friend I made in HS, got rejected, and has been trying to reconnect with me ever since. I'm happily in a relationship of almost 5 years and studying cybersecurity. He's currently working at a gas station spending his free time asking people I used to hang out with about me, how I am, etc.
The trench coat kid from my high school didn't really do anything in school. He would growl at people when they would talk to him. He got into a fight with a guy and he got KOd. He got back up screaming like he was going super saiyan. It's been 5 years since graduation and hes still trenchcoating it up. He seems to be doing okay now, I think he just likes trenchcoats lmao

So I knew this guy in college who wore a large trench coat. I kinda saw him as an older brother/mentor. I kinda copied how he dressed and hung out with him all the time. We both had radio shows on the college radio station and we both played alternative, emo, and punk music. Around 2017, he left the college and cut off contact with me and a few friends. I haven’t heard from him in 6 years and miss him terribly. It’s hard losing a close friend out of nowhere when they suddenly think your creepy and leave you when you really didn’t do anything wrong. I miss you dude. If you stumble upon this video and see my comment, please message me.

I can't say what he's like now, but dude was a total dick when we dated and cheated on me with my friend. He called her terrible things and destroyed her mentally(dodged that bullet when I broke up with him). If karma is a real thing I'd imagine he's in a ditch at the moment.
I did some underground mixtapes, indie rap albums. Did some light touring, did the Rap Olympics, Scribble Jam and the MTV battle in NYC. Now, I have a totally respectable non- music career and can barely freestyle 8 bars anymore 🤣
He became a food science major and can still spit bars if he wanted to. He makes his own music now.
Damn. The Kid that wanted to be the rapper was a asshole. He tried making music and sang long to Eminem. He seemed ok but his attitude was terrible. He was a bully an hurt other kids who wanted to be singer/raper. He got bullied after someone caught him singing along to Rihannas umbrella.

I guess I was the trench coat kid at school. When I was a sophomore a group of my bullies told the teachers and counselors that I had a kill list. I didn't really get in trouble for it because most of the teachers knew what I was about, and more upperclassmen than I could count vouched for me as well. They just didn't like that I was a band nerd and went to an all-male school. I needed to play sports but no, I loved marching and was super passionate about it and not much else. Never owned a trench coat but almost bought one after college. Now I'm in the Air Force and have the best enlisted job that I can get. We had a reunion not too long ago and we were all talking like friends and it was a nice breath of fresh air.
I was that kid in high school. Wannabe goth/emo kid who dressed like keannu in the matrix. Married my high school girlfriend, went to college, became a professional tailor. Still love long coats, but i usually go for something classier than leather now.
I own a leather trench coat, it's so nice for the winter. I've always been weary about getting those "school shooter" accusations when wearing it, but more often than not people would compliment it. I was a pretty big weirdo in HS when hanging out with friends, otherwise I kept mostly to myself drawing or reading. Didn't do a whole lot of socializing unless someone else instigated a conversation with me.
I just graduated high school back in June. I used to have a trench coat but I never wore it to school for for obvious reasons. I was a goth metalhead all throughout high school and I still am. I love the goth aesthetic. It brings me joy. And I’ve always loved the look of trench coats (mainly thanks to my obsession with plague doctors and because of the show Invader ZiM and the comic JTHM). Never be afraid to wear what makes you happy! =)
0:56 actually happened to me. I didnt wear trenchcoats in highschool but im a metalhead type dude, and the school for a long time thought i was suicidal. After school one day, the school cop and a sergeant came to my house. They basically tried to get me to admit that i was planning to commit a school shooting, which is obviously a felony. Turns out a couple i didnt get along with made it up, and everyone who was present when i allegedly made the threat all vouched for me and said they never heard anything like that. it really made me hate the school administration more than i already did.

Shino aburame in a nutshell.
I wore a kinda trench coat. I was the band nerd. I was also an academic rebel, challenging authority and the system. I now am working as a bartender saving up money to open a coffee shop/ school once the world is back too normal. I still do preform music on my off time. My style now is wearing Hawaiian shirts, dyed hair and just a "vibe" I have grown up a lot sense high school.
My school didn't have a trench coat kid, but we did have a straight jacket kid. He would come in in a straight jacket with chains on it. Was actually a cool guy best I could tell.
He was always hanging out at the back of the school and talked about knives, but I actually became pretty good friends with him and is an overall good person, feel kinda bad bc he gets excluded from everything.
I owned a trenchcoat for a while-still do. My best friend who moved away gave it to me for my birthday. Loved it, it looked very matrix-esque, but of course, I got some flack for it. By the way, it had a black floral design on each of the shoulders, so it wasn't too shooter-like. Anytime someone made a comment on it, though, I kinda just let it roll off of me. I knew the story behind it, I wore it because I liked it and it reminded me that my friend always had my back. Not to mention, he shirts I typically wore had something like a peace sign or the name of a summer camp I went to (yeah, my style is a bit odd) so that really kind of cut off any kind of shooter vibe.
Ooh, looks like Veronica uses Reddit.

He always looked professional looking with his trench coat. All from his clothes and hair it looked like he was going somewhere important. I don't remember what he studied for, but he went to college and now he makes a lot of money. I'm very happy for him because at school all the other guys mostly would bully him. It was all because of the way he dressed.
Heh. Went to college with a guy who looked like he stepped right out of the 1920s every day.
He joined the navy, got stationed on an aircraft carrier. One day he managed to fall off the side into the water. Completely smashed himself up. Discharged, full disability. Lost tracking him after that. I imagine he’s just a weirdo sitting at home now.
He's still one of my best friends, 20 years later! He lives with his parents, but he has a good job doing IT. He still dresses the same. Still listens to good music. Still can't find a decent girlfriend!
He poisoned a Heather, shot the two jocks, and tried to blow up the school but in the end he blew himself up.
This is not a true story, this is Heathers
My husband was a "trenchcoat kid" in his high school. We have been married for 10 amazing years, and he's a wonderful, loving father to our son. :)
I was the trench coat kid back in the late 90s. I had it because I'd gotten a paid internship for a bank at 15, so I wanted to have something comfortable to wear to both school and work during winter months without having to go home to change. And yeah, I was the quiet loner for a lot of reasons. I'm what's now called non-binary, but no one knew the terminology back then. I was just that one oddly pretty guy that got targeted for bullying. That's a horror story all on its own. When Columbine happened, I was questioned if I was going to do anything similar. And of course I wasn't; I just wanted to be left alone. I graduated with perfect grades at 16. Got into Berkeley immediately, but couldn't afford it. My mom had lost my college fund due to a bad investment, and lost her job just after I left high school. Thanks to my banking job, I knew better than to get student loans. So I put myself through college without them; I had to work 3 jobs and sacrifice a ton to make that happen. But that's a whole other story.
In fact, it'd take too long to post everything here. So, I'll just do a cliffnotes version: I briefly moved to Southeast Asia between high school and college, then came back stateside. Gave up on Berkeley and went to a community college instead, then transferred later. It saved me a fortune, and I graduated debt-free. My first degree was in English (writing is my arguably my greatest skill, and I love reading), so I focused on my banking career. I overcame the harassment and drama I'd suffered throughout my childhood and learned how to accept myself. I came out to my mom, which went horrendously; I had to walk out on her. Also got out of the cult I was raised in. Also became a prolific video game reviewer. I continued working on my banking career for another 15 years, then burned out and was forced into therapy. It saved my life, and forced me to confront where my life was heading.I spent the next few years traveling; as of May 2021, I've been to 25 countries / 5 continents. It would've been 26/6 if it weren't for COVID. I've gone on adventures most people only dream about. Beaches, mountains, forests, deserts, glaciers, volcanoes, ruins, UNESCO sites, you name it, I'm up for it. Since I couldn't travel due to the pandemic, I took advantage of the downtime and invention of Zoom to go back to college remotely. Just a couple of days ago, I completed the coursework for degrees in Environmental Science and Geography. So as the pandemic winds down, I'll be coming out much further ahead than most people, equipped with knowledge that'll be essential in growing markets for the next few decades.
TLDR: I was the trench coat kid back in the late 90s. I put myself through college, came out, got out of the cult I was raised in, was a game reviewer, had a 15 year career in banking, burned out, traveled the world, and spent the pandemic earning degrees in Environmental Science and Geography. I could probably still rock a trench coat, but I mainly use a pea coat now.
I was the peacoat/trenchcoat punk kid with a Mohawk. Everyone thought I'd shoot up the school. People were surprised when it was someone else who brought a gun to school. The only thing they got right about me was that I'd have a large amounts of firearms. I'm a hunter and a avid gun collector

Had a “trenchcoat kid” in my HS. He was pretty legit. I’m trying to remember his name...
I *was* the trench coat kid in high school. Definitely got a lot of jokes about being a shooter.
Worked a lot of shit jobs. Then last year I started in a position at a gun manufacturer. Then moved on to machinist at that same manufacturer. Now this week I got promoted to a supervisor at the same place. Life is wild.
I live in the UK. My friend was the trench coat kid in our school. We were good friends and still are. He'd always come in to school wearing one but wasn't quiet or introverted. The reason I think he wore a trench coat was because he was obsessed with military history-notably wwii-and he liked the style from photos he'd seen. He grew into the emo scene and started liking bands like Black Veil Brides and Fearless Vampire Killers, even dipping his toes into the dark make up territory whilst still wearing the coat.
Now he's married to a wonderful American woman and living happily in the States, converted to Christianity and is in the US Army...
Did I also mention his nickname now is redcoat? He went from the trenchcoat kid to the redcoat Brit

The one at 6:58, about the guy who believes he's a vampire, werewolf and dragon, and is apparently dating a 12 year-old (disgusting)...it reminds me an awful lot of this case Baily Sarian once covered about a 12 year-old girl and her 23 year-old ''boyfriend'' who, together, murdered the girl's family. He apparently also believed he was a 300 year-old werewolf...can't help but wonder if they're the same person...
I was thinking the exact same thing 😳
I must say, I am a trench coat kid, minus a trench coat. I'm gonna get one.
Edit 2022: Finally i got one. An ex military coat.
stalker pl do there comfortable as shit, and the pockets are amazing
The amount of bullying I would get for wearing one...
Be careful buying one kiddo, they're expensive as hell
@Robert Allan I'm a girl lol but I appreciate the advice! Maybe i'll look into some vintage trenchcoats
The trench coat kid was my brother, he had a very old timy and eccentric sense of fashion. But everyone loved him because he's just so kind and is always smiling. He was basically everyone's best friend and usually had large groups of children follow him around, which he would take on little adventures and sit and talk to while waiting to be picked up. So yeah, great with kids, enthusiastic about fashion, super imaginative, loves people and takes great interest in others. He's also a total goof and has no sense of embarrassment, there is always a laugh to be had around him. He was really fun to grow up with, I was so blessed to have him as a brother. Oh, and he still wears the trench coat, but now he has a pocket watch and a cain to match, lol!😆
He became a lifeguard. Was really friendly with everyone, made jokes, was the class clown, and was on the school swimming team.
He was very well liked by the teachers too.

I was a trenchcoat kid, as was my boyfriend... still wear my trenchcoat every winter(i lived in ny) I'm still kinda gothy,and morbid,Im also a mom an wife.
Imagine being like that and actually thinking it made you cool or something lol
I don't wear it coz it's cool I wear it coz I enjoy it and I like the look of it
Don't forget the JoJo fans
It’s not really a youtube video without Bigfoot commenting
See, I wondered if I should wear my trench coat, but not because it was cool, because it sounded fun 🤣
This list is fucking wild. One story could be about how he’s a normal dude with a normal job and the next story is that he’s a fucking werewolf with telekinesis or some shit.
I was the trench coat kid. Found it in a thrift store. I loved that coat. It was a London Fog with a zip in liner. I always wondered why my classmates avoided me when I wore it.
Good days.
*I dont know he just told me to go home and ditch school one day never heard of him after*
