The curly haired broccoli head on the "now" dude is perfect! All middle schoolers have the exact same hairstyle. This video is hilarious. Great job man!
Who the heck runs like Naruto in 2024? As a teen boy, I can confirm nobody runs like Naruto 😂😂. I mean, maybe six-year-olds too late to the trend but I haven’t even heard of Naruto since idek.
The entire time I was like, "The only thing off about Trey's late 2000's look is that his shorts aren't long enough", and then that final line about his kneecaps hit. LOL
I was so excited when I saw this video! I’ve missed Trey’s weekly UA-cam videos, so am always excited to see one that’s not a short. Also, fun getting see his new house a little bit!
My first thought was, “All of the ‘then’ things were just being said, I remember this stuff from not long ago.” And then I remembered I’m 32 and high school was more than a decade ago and a whole new generation of teens are changing the culture. Trey killed it again! Great job!
Yeah it’s wild how time gets faster as we get older, it’s yet another brutal truth of being your 30s. Also I think the pandemic made me older without the ability to like, _feel_ that time passing. I feel like we are all still whatever age we were in 2019 mentally Also, I’m a jacy too!
Idea for a new video: when the youngest sibling grows up. Like it takes place 10 years later, after the oldest sibling has moved out and this shows how much the youngest child has been spoiled.
Holy crap I will never ever forget having to hit the number buttons to send a text!!!! I wasn't allowed to use my cell phone until after 9 and then it was on lol
the skibidi toliet part was priceless, got a good chuckle out of me. as a middle schooler myself i can confirm this is pretty accurate. I dont really do much of it tho, my parents raised me right. but if you go into a middle school. thats pretty much what you see. only thing i would add is the wannabe OF girls that are always shooting tictoks and sending snapchat pics all the time, other than that 10/10 video trey.
Trey: Gassed with Axe spray, neck sprained from hair flips, multiple bruises from attempting the worm, PTSD from skibidi toilet, back pain from carrying a 2006-era backpack with a 2006-era homework load, 6 months orthotropic therapy from wearing upper mouth prosthetic... UA-cam: Thank you for your service, but your injuries are not content related.
Things I experienced during middle school: -COVID In its prime/Early COVID -life before tiktok was first created -Got my first phone -Area 51 Raid (Funny story, my PE Teacher told me to naruto-run in a zig-zag pattern to get past the area-51 guards) -The 2020 Riots -Quarantine -Many more
For me, it was side ponytails, days of the week barrettes, neon nail polish, love of New Kids on the Block and watching the early days of MTV so I'd know how to dress. A lot Valley girl words and the sing song tilt. 😂😂😂
The sad part is, to future historians these are the same exact kid! They’re from basically the exact same time period when your perspective is hundreds of years in the future.
This is so accurate about the depression and mental health overall-it went from being stigmatized to now everyone wants to have mental health struggles, it’s considered cool or romanticized these days
This confirms how dumb Gen Z is. I thought stuff we did in middle school and high school in the late 2000s/early 2010s was stupid, but man I'm so glad when someone calls me a millennial now.
This was hilariously accurate. You even got the hair spot on. As someone who worked during the back to school period in a salon this year I can confirm teenage boys asked for perms to curl their hair more than haircuts XD
One thing this video doesnt quite capture though is that statistically younger folk physically hang out with their friends at a significantly lower rate than any generation prior, which seems obvious but it's kind of missed when most of the communciation shown here is phone to phone
The fear I had anytime I accidentally hit that internet button my Nokia cuz I didn't want it to show up on my mom's bill.... Also, those clothes are so accurate! I much prefer the sweats we wear now. I'm 36 and live in leggings and tshirts
I’m glad that I don’t have to feel embarrassed about watching these man’s video as a middle schooler no that I’ve finally moved on. Even if it’s sad that I can relate to some of these, it’s hilarious
The ill-fitting plaid shorts - I forgot about those!! and every white boy in middle school had a pair. They were always uncomfortable, but you had to wear them + a polo for school photos 😂😂
I love your comedy! You are a fantastic comic actor! You can be a silly girl character one minute and a hilarious teen boy the next. I am impressed by your dance moves "now." How do you peg these caricatures so well?
Flip phones, popped collars, ugly chunked necklaces, and those Bieber comb overs were the absolute worst. 😂
I was swaggy
Forgot about the excessive axe spray 🤢
@@OGDoubleJkids still be doin that now 😂
“Bieber combovers” lmao as if he invented them 😂
My brother had that cut in the early 2010s, not gonna lie he actually rocked it! 😂😅😅
The curly haired broccoli head on the "now" dude is perfect! All middle schoolers have the exact same hairstyle. This video is hilarious. Great job man!
I miss the satisfying snap of closing a flip phone!
THEN: Anime is for losers!
TODAY: Everyone runs like Naruto. 😂
Who the heck runs like Naruto in 2024? As a teen boy, I can confirm nobody runs like Naruto 😂😂. I mean, maybe six-year-olds too late to the trend but I haven’t even heard of Naruto since idek.
Too real bro its jjk now @@GOCAPSDMV
It's not Naruto anymore, it's jjk now
What this video has taught me: middle schoolers are cringey as heck no matter the generation.
I don’t even Know how i managed to Survive Middle School with how Traumatic some moments were for me personally. But I DID it.🎉
@@DodgerFanAD_23proud of you 💪🏿
As a middle schooler, yes. We are cringey as heck.
amen! I literally remember the last day of ninth grade thinking I was going to miss it. I don't at all🤣
Remember, if you want to punch the character. It means the actor did a good job.
@@ThePersonMan Lmbo!!!! 🤣
he's pretty sigma no cap
The continuous hair flipping had me spitting my coffee all over my computer monitor 😅
I was a middle school teacher back then. Just imagine that continuous hair flip x 15 all day, every day, on top of all the hormones and the drama! 🤪
The entire time I was like, "The only thing off about Trey's late 2000's look is that his shorts aren't long enough", and then that final line about his kneecaps hit. LOL
@@annes2059 bless you!
@@glamgal28 Oh, thank you! I survived (and loved every second of it) 🥰
@@annes2059 oh I bet you got some good laughs 😅
I work at a summer camp and this video is so accurate it's scary. These kids unironically say skibidi 😭😭😭😭
Maddox is growing up so fast 😂
I was so excited when I saw this video! I’ve missed Trey’s weekly UA-cam videos, so am always excited to see one that’s not a short. Also, fun getting see his new house a little bit!
@@evirgil84 yes!! I was excited to see a longer video. I watched it several times. I want more of the longer videos back 😍
@@glamgal28 Agreed!
not the monitor turn after the teacher 😭
Maddox is WILDIN
@@treykennedy YT showed "Translate to English" under your comment here LOLOL even THEY don't get it!
I’m a retired middle school teacher. I remember the boys’ hair flip very well.
😂😂😂😂😂 I completely forgot about how spaghetti straps weren't allowed
I worked in an office and we weren't allowed to have bare shoulders. We had to wear a tshirt under our sundresses. Lol
They still aren’t!
I’ve NEVER FORGOTTEN 😡 😂
Now teens are wearing basically bras and underwear to school and it’s alllll good 👌🏻
@@tericoe5116oh my gosh, that sounds (& prob looks) silly as heck. 😝
You know you're older when you only understand half the lingo of the youth 😂😂😂😂xx
I’m only 20 and I’m struggling. This isn’t happening 😂
Shorts past the knees was so real. Spot on!
“I’m still going to win every girls swim meet this year. Thanks, Title 9” 😂🤣🙃
My neck hurt just watching that last bit.
The hair flipping was just so perfect at the end!
0:18 “PB jelly time” lol. I literally just heard my kids’ childhood 😂
The emo bangs/Bieber cut. Still got them emo bangs at 26, it was never just a phase
My first thought was, “All of the ‘then’ things were just being said, I remember this stuff from not long ago.” And then I remembered I’m 32 and high school was more than a decade ago and a whole new generation of teens are changing the culture.
Trey killed it again! Great job!

Also, I’m a jacy too!
@@rainbomg cool! Nice to meet another Jacy! And yeah, I totally agree. I feel like I’m still 27/28 mentally as well.
"Just say the safe word if you start hallucinating."
The hair flip, plaid shorts, Axe spray, shell necklace, and American eagle polo😂😂 too real! I feel targeted 💀
As a current teenager, the impression was spot on.
The flip phone, struggling to text with it, and hanging it up. 😭😭💀💀 The hair flip was wild too! 🤣🤣
Idea for a new video: when the youngest sibling grows up. Like it takes place 10 years later, after the oldest sibling has moved out and this shows how much the youngest child has been spoiled.
I can smell Abercrombie through my phone 😂
🤣
Holy crap I will never ever forget having to hit the number buttons to send a text!!!! I wasn't allowed to use my cell phone until after 9 and then it was on lol
The perm is spot on😂😂
That room where you sprayed the Axe has now been Chernobyl'd
😂😂😂
0:18. The sweater is just the cherry on top.
Rizzlybear! 🤣
My daughter is 13. I desperately needed this language course. You’re doing Gods work 🙌

The polo and khaki shorts is like the uniform for all middle school and high school guys from the mid-2000's LOL
She’s her own CEO and that’s amazing lmao 😂
Thanks for reminding us oldies that we used to be just.like.them….😳
Historians thousands of years in the future will probably find this video somehow and think to themselves “What the fuck?” 🤨
i'm thinking that NOW 🤣🤣
😆@@MsHoneyBBQ
The sad part is, to future historians these are the same exact kid! They’re from basically the exact same time period when your perspective is hundreds of years in the future.
@@eaglefoot23right, that “before they realized that technology was destroying them” period
The rapid fire MOTOROLLA RAZR flip to shut that breaks the hinges YESS 😆😆
The repeat head twitch at the end and the way he rubbed his hair with his hand was my older brother anytime he passed a reflective surface
I take depression meds and my friends always are like “aw that’s so cool you have to take meds for stuff”
Your friends are crazy
@@folofus4815 ikr
what😭
My friends are like “who doesn’t take meds?” It was mostly ADHD, asthma, and allergy meds when we were that age, now it’s anxiety and birth control
@@camcat26 yeah I have to start taking bc pills next month
I’ve been out of MS for about two years now and it has changed so much 🤦
Facts😭
This is so accurate about the depression and mental health overall-it went from being stigmatized to now everyone wants to have mental health struggles, it’s considered cool or romanticized these days

At 34 this is ridiculously relatable and it brings back so many hilarious and embarrassing memories 😂😂
Smoke robot vape 😂😂
Millenials ended teen smoking and these kids brought it back
1) This dude is hilarious
2) In some ways each generations seems better than the last.
I’m in middle school and I can relate to middle schoolers then rather than now💀
Fr 😢 it’s sad though
SAME
Axe Body Spray is timeless tho..
Do they still bathe in it?
@@kimberlyfrey8740yes.
Don't fck with axe
Yes, it gives me an instant headache 🤕
This channel is the best! He’s always on point.
I’m a boomer (gasp) and I can honestly say that I couldn’t understand most of this video. 😂😂😂
The hair whip got me😂😂 Need more Maddax
Well done! The effort and passion are evident.
Thank you for this real life archival footage of Trey in middle school
New hair style... love it 😂😍
This was hilariously accurate.
You even got the hair spot on.

Keep these coming- fave!!!
I love being the same age as you. This is beyond relatable 😂😂😂
So accurate! This brought back memories😆
The fear I had anytime I accidentally hit that internet button my Nokia cuz I didn't want it to show up on my mom's bill.... Also, those clothes are so accurate! I much prefer the sweats we wear now. I'm 36 and live in leggings and tshirts
We need a full bloopers of this one
Shinsplints!😀 Had to stop the video for a second laughing so hard.
I'm proud of you for making it through the video without dying laughing
The Gen Alpha wig is spot on lol
Trey might need a visit to a Chiropractor after that one! 😀 He is amazing! And the script too. He keeps me current on all the slang! 🤣
I’m glad that I don’t have to feel embarrassed about watching these man’s video as a middle schooler no that I’ve finally moved on. Even if it’s sad that I can relate to some of these, it’s hilarious
Trey I LOVE the Karen videos you did a couple of years ago and we NEED more of them!
My oldest starts middle school next month... I am unprepared for all of this 😂😂
You are in my prayers (from a Middle School teacher about to start my 28th year).
omw this is so accurate lol "you're not doing something you're not supposed to, are you? "
You slayed those dances ahahaha
No but fr how did you nail the middle school look, both then and now, slay
The 54321 countdown to ur own choreography was perfect
Back in the day when unlimited texts were something you had to pay for. Add the ring back tone we all had and couldn't get rid of and you're peak 2003
THE. HAIR. FLIP. Oh my word. I used to be a middle school teacher and this is just too accurate.
Wow you are so on point this is totally me and exactly how my kids are now the language and everything 😂
The ill-fitting plaid shorts - I forgot about those!! and every white boy in middle school had a pair. They were always uncomfortable, but you had to wear them + a polo for school photos 😂😂
I remember getting a Flip Phone back in 2008 and thinking that it was the coolest thing ever in middle school hahaha.
I love your comedy! You are a fantastic comic actor! You can be a silly girl character one minute and a hilarious teen boy the next. I am impressed by your dance moves "now." How do you peg these caricatures so well?
T9 and title 9 was crazzzzyyy 😂
trey said, "Put up the alcohol Brennan." That's my name. my reaction: I'm an 😇. (baptist kid) lol.
0:14 I remember everyone singing that back in middle school and had was so confused about what was going on cause we didn't have internet or tv lol
The hair flip was amazing 👌🏻👌🏻
Okay, the Then kid, I understand most of it. The Now kid, my face was scrunched up. But....I'm 60. Might explain it. Lol!
The yuppie Abercrombie style is bringing back some cringy memories, thank god there aren’t many pictures of my frosted tips lol
i laughed so hard! thank you from a childless middle aged lady!
“Thanks title nine”😂
I've been WAITING for fhe next middle schooler video. Thank you for the great content!
Listening to my son and his friends talk is mind boggling..I have zero clue what they’re trying to say. WTH does sigma mean?!!😂
PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Seeing the knee caps, totally relatable 😂
It’s absolutely pathetic how accurate this is!!!
These videos are hitting too close to home now that I work with kids all day 😭
Love it!!! Spot on hair swoop for the ending 😂
the very end hair flips 🤣
😂😂😂😂 *”THANKS T9”!!*
All these teens would have lived their best life pre-2010
The break dancing part 🤣🤣🤣
