The History Of Chokers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Choker necklaces: a relic of the 1990s or the 2590s BC? I take a closer look into the history of one of my favorite trends from elementary school and adulthood: the choker. From gold beads to plastic, it's definitely evolved over the past few thousand years.

Safiya Nygaard Early
Safiya Nygaard ILYSM you come up with such great video ideas💕

Safiya Nygaard the history of tattoos! That would be really cool
Safiya Nygaard I love your videos Saf!

The Girl That Steals Food From Your Lunchboxes no, she said "a A+" it should be " *an* A+"
muse 101 I know. Just messin with ya.
The Girl That Steals Food From Your Lunchboxes, That username....Are you a Titan from Attack on Titan: High School? Lololz 😂
I love how she kept changing chokers depending on what she was talking about 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Irene Lygerou I was about to say that!
Maddy 123 ķ
Irene Lygerou ikr
anne boleyns choker is one that is my favorite. she is the 2 wive and queen of Henry the 8th bam history
Yeah that was funny!
"British teenagers would wear a red ribbon to make fun of the French" sounds about right
is this a insult im british
@@zoesmith4368 same
HAHA wi do thaaaat
Sunny Skye uuuuuh BAHAHAHHA. Gurl that’s a American history and the BRITISH did that to the AMERICANS. NOT the French to the British LMAOOOO
Sunny Skye gurl look up reasons for American revolution and come back to me cause the Brits were not the victims here 💀
“To hide neck stuff”
Me: Ah so hickies

Are you my sibling 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
lol
I thought the same thing lol!
I'm so glad safiya left buzzfeed! This video shows how creative and talent she really is. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
Gissel Montega I totally agree. The "content over quality" notion that people who left BuzzFeed talk about was very apparent in this video. BuzzFeed would never do a video like this because it took a lot of research and time.
But it was a great video!
Gissel Montega ikr? she's so intelligent, so creative, so thorough in her research... her talent is so much better used independently here.
Gissel Montega hey my like turned it from 1.1 to 1.2
Gissel Montega I thought you were going to throw shade at her at first😂
almost all of buzzfeed’s important people in videos have left
I'm glad that Saf left buzzfeed because I feel like she can branch out more and reach her full potential. These videos are so much better than the buzzfeed ones.
^.....what?
ARMYYY
saf left buzzfeed?
I like that she did her research and is also enjoying what she’s talking about at the same time
I’ve never worn chokers... and I don’t know why I’m watching this.
I've worn it twice or three times . One bc somebody in my class wanted me to try and and 2nd for picture day lol and I think on my moms wedding I dont remember
I love my chokers!
Or maybe we’re just all bored
Same
same bro
my history nerd's heart is crying tears of joy right now
did I "like" this kind of video?? do I want "more" like this kind of video?! I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS AN OPTION UNTIL SHE SAID IT AT THE END OF THE VIDEO OMG YES PLEASE!!! MORE! SO MUCH MORE HISTORY VIDEOS!!! I wish I could su-mash that like button more than once!
im a fashion and history nerd so imagine how im feeling
deadlyNightshade789 same
deadlyNightshade789 Same! I'm a history major and I'm so happy!

This is what culture APPRECIATION looks like. It's super refreshing to see someone of her online celebrity to be so educated in today's fashion, when everyone is always pointing fingers at who is and isn't appropriating culture.
Jason Yanto YEEESSSS👏🏼👏🏼
Jason Yanto I agree, but I don't think many people who are against appropriation (like myself) find this to be appropriation at all since its a common cultural aspect (unless copied like the meaningfillled African beads)
Now that's difference between Saf and others.... Love you Safiya.. Keep making such vids 😄🙌
mom: go study !
me: no, I am watching a history lesson
mom: ok…...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“Black ribbons can show secret lesbianism”
Me, thinking to give a hint: *huh*
Iceburg :D me: also hm
Same
I need a black ribbon then
Meee
looks like i need a black ribbon then
This is so awesome! You're using a topic and title that is likely to attract teenagers/millenials and teaching them about history, that's fucking great and more educational than anything buzzfeed has ever done.
Truuuuu
Ami Z. Why does it always have to come back to buzzfeed?
I is Noodl That's where most people know Safiya from, so obviously the content on this channel is going to be compared to the content she used to make with Buzzfeed.
Ugh, this is pristine. As a history major, I literally feed off of videos like these. Gaining miscellaneous knowledge is my thang.
Reneé Evelyn totally unrelated but you are gorgeous!! 💗
MsBieberBeadles aww, thank you so much babe! 💕✨
Yass.

Safiya: the history of chokers
Me: StRaNgUlAtiOn😈
Safiya: neck protection
Me:oh...
thats what i thought too~ ngl im kinda dissapointed😅
i was expecting actual choking devices since you know “chokers”
I just came here after seeing the popular comment about heckies (about hiding neck stuff but it was actually diseases) a few comments before this one to feel "OH I'M NOT ALONE" and idk about you but maybe I watch/read too much horror lol
I thought the same too. Trust me, I've got a serious neck fetish.
Okay but why are you a better teacher than all the actual teachers at my school
if shes better then the teachers at your school then your principal made a huge mistake to hire em then
Charlotte H *y e s*
Omg right!?
Lol yeah
Charlotte H I agree
We should all applaud Saf for the invention of the phrase "Dressed to Depress".
Have you really never heard that phrase before? It's been a thing forever.
I am Jungshook No.. I know what I said. "Dress to depress" has been a thing for decades.
I think you're mistaken and need to do a little research before trying to correct someone. Otherwise you just come off as extremely ignorant.
Saimeren he said “but i’m not sure” m8
Lily Cat Right. Exactly the point I made two weeks ago. Why try to correct someone on something you're unsure about? He clearly doesn't know me, or the topic at hand.
I said that the phrase "Dressed to depress" has been around for a long time, and that the OP shouldn't credit Saf for "inventing" it. "I am Jungshook" decided to try to correct me and insert other words into my mouth. "You must mean this.. Not this."
No.. I know what I said. I said it for a very specific reason.
If you're too lazy, ignorant, or arrogant to do the very basic research on a topic, than you have absolutely NO right trying to interject or correct.
You can't show someone sympathy for not knowing something, and trying to correct someone that does.
It's using opinions as facts. Am I coming off as rude, or aggressive? Probably. Is it warranted? Absolutely. People need to understand that they can't just interject into something they know nothing about.
@@Saimeren damn someone needs some sleep lmao
I take it since this is pretty old, the ol history video idea didn’t catch on. It’s a shame really. These are super interesting and I learned so much.
I was half expecting you to say
“The choker was created in the 1800’s to choke English criminals...”
I can see the BuzzFeed video now: 100 Years of Chokers.
Elizabeth Diaz For reeeaaaal😂😂
Elizabeth Diaz already did😂
i enjoy the slow changing of chokers safiya is wearing throughout the video
Straymorric iconic 💖
Safiya: Royals wore chokers way back in ancient times for various reasons
Me: Does that include Cinderella?
She WORE A BLACK RIBBON!!!!’ SHES A LESBEAN!!!!!
@@sophiavincent7785 ????
jaja me too, i was all the time like "when is she gonna mention cinderella???"
One of the main reasons I love Safiya's channel is because of the detail, history, and depth her videos always have! Keep doin' what you’re doin'!!
1900's : Elegant,sophisticated meaningful pieces of jeweller
2017: Neck brace chokers
you should make this a series. Like it would be about the history of a fashion item or a makeup item
Yeah!! Saf, How about a lipstick episode?
arlena ung and food! Lol

I love how her choker changes when she talks about a different time period. Nice touch 👌🏻
Safiya: says Anne Boleyn

This is like an essay in a video and I love it. I feel like Saf spends so much time on these videos and it is much appreciated:)
You should do a lot more history vids. I LOVE HISTORY!
yo i haven’t watched this channel in forever and that intro brings back great memories
edit: SHE HAS 8M FOLLOWERS NOW HOWWWWW ITS BEEN TOO LONG
As an archaeologist, it makes me really happy to see all of the research and effort you put in when making this video. It is rare to see a you tuber now a days who is willing to go to such an extent to be factual, especially in regards to history and the deep past! You also made a topic I had never thought to be interesting fascinating! Love your videos, the quality is always so high!
I LOVE HOW SHE CHANGED HER CHOKER DEPENDING ON WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT
Lucia Mora ikt
Lucia Mora pure dedication
Lucia Mora lol
Peneløpe lmao i got excited !
Can we just appreciate how much time and effort Safiya/her editors puts into her videos.
I love how in depth she goes about stuff people have always thought about but never spent time to research, she does good research and it articulate and interesting about it. Love ya Safiya!
"And we think diss tracks are savage"😂
the amount of effort put into your videos is astounding. I'm so happy you're an independent creator, amazing video x
Safiya: Mary Antoinette

Yess hell yeah
She's a killer..
Yeah! I heard that she had kitchens full of cakes, while the people starved in the streets, so they beheaded her, lol
I WAS THINKING OF THIS LMAO
Finally someone with good taste in music.
Yeeeeaaaa boiiiiiii
I'm from Hong Kong and one of the background music you used is the same as the music played when I'm waiting for the recording to start for my listening test... there's some dark flashbacks
Petition for Saf to be a history teacher at my school?
Cheyenne Stevenson no! mine!
Cheyenne Stevenson MINE!!!
Cheyenne Stevenson Mine please, I have the creepiest history teacher ever
i think museums should not dig up a grave of a human being and get their necklaces and display it in a museum cuz thats just rude....
help me then how to find about History? Cultures?
I loove that she changes her choker to match each era 😍... Very well thought video
I blame the BDSM move on the casual name change "dog collar"
And that's why I wasn't allowed to wear them
seriously though, some of them look so cute but because of that I just won't wear them
NESova.RAR yeah i don’t blame you, it’s a shame disgusting people have to ruin pretty things. But yeah of course now that the whole stigma is around it, it’s not really worth it.
@@h7pubg no no, I'm all up for the sex appeal of wearing one. But back in the 2000 when they made their comeback, I was between 12-14 and I wasn't allowed to have one during my rocker phase because of the "female dog" subname.
My slave punishment choke every second
@@8BitDarkNESsR3v14 wear whatever you want! If you like it wear it. Dont think about what others might think or what judgement you even might have.
Safiya: mentions Anne Boliyn ( I don’t know how to spell it
Me: grew up in the French court oui oui bonjoir
Sure life was a chore so she sat sail. XD
shuuki- san 1522 came straight to the UK
Alex all the British dudes lame
Just a baked potato epic fail
Elizabeth. Ooo Ooo
FUN FACT: Shah Jahan never actually saw the finished project of the Taj Mahal because his son locked him in dungeon for the rest of his life. He also had plans to build a black version opposite of it for his grave, but like I said he was locked up for the last 8 years of his life. Let's just say I feel very bad for him
Little Owl that would have been cool
that's actually not true, Shah Jahan never had intentions to build a "Black Taj." There's no concrete evidence that backs that up. What was more probable was the intention for it to be a water garden, given the architectural features that are still observable today. Instead of another physical building on the other side of the river, the giant pool of water from the water garden would have reflected the Taj under the moon light creating the opposite version of the mausoleum
Noice👌👌
Well the dude did rob his country when building the Taj Mahal. They had good reasons to lock him up.
happy late realization learned that in grade 3

"Dress to depress" is something I applaud, Well done Safiya, well done.
History teachers are quaking

When you started talking about Anne Boleyn I immediately thought of Six the Musical
You’re not the only one
You aren't the only one lol
I love how Safiya is just changing necklaces throughout the video 👌🏻👌🏻

Brandon Kardashian

Pssshhh, who needs school in general when you've got Safyia
TRUUUEEE
You should do "The History of lipstick/lip gloss" or "The History of eyeliner" or maybe eyeshadow?
🙌🏻
Prisso yesssss
Prisso that would be so interesting! ❤❤❤
Prisso YES PLS
yaaasssss
1:31 vsco girls have entered the chat. And yes I’m watching this in 2019 lol
viso i have lost all respect for you
I love how Saf researches sooooo good for her videos! ❤️
I love this, this should be a series
smileswild Yes please!! This was absolutely fascinating! Thank you Safiya!
smileswild agreed this is such a nice concept
English teacher: you need to write a research paper
Me:
polkadott64 yes
Can anyone just appreciate how long it took for this and how many times she changes her chokers every topic she’s talking about
I really appreciate how you talked about a wide range of cultures and didn't just talk about the fashion of white western european history!
Basically the choker is timeless and we should not listen to the people who think it's a trend that needs to die.
Fernando Deveze it still looks cute tho
nah my cat look cuter
Necklaces are timeless.
Chokers are black belts for blowjobs.
Get it right
LegallyBrunette and Beautiful I think we should respect other ppls opinions.
yeah i love choker , at least some of them haha
I'm impressed with the depth of research that you put into this! Bravo, my good lady! And keep rocking your chokers! (except for that horrific pink thing, because that just looks way too uncomfortable.) 👏👏👏
Same, this is some really good content here!
i like how she changes the choker depending on what choker she’s talking about
Safiya: The ancient Egyptians...
Me: WAIT lemme guess, they wanted to be like cats cuz they liked them so much!
Safiya: Wore the jewellery to represent gods
Me: oh...
as someone who has been obsessed with the history of fashion for as long as I can remember, I friggen LOVE how informative and thorough this video was! I'm geeking out hard on all this info💖
Same here!!!
Man every time I watch one of your videos like this one I feel like I learned something new. I love your videos Saf!
I'm blown away by the quality of this video. Amazing job.
Who else thinks Safiya needs to have her own tv show?

This video was freakin brilliant. As an aspiring archaeologist I'm super impressed by how deep you went in research and how interesting you made it. Thanks so much for the wonderful video!!
lovepercy21 Much luck and success on your career journey!!
Lily Espinosa Thanks so much!
afyja93 i say hi back.
You are such a good history teacher! Kudos for the research!! Some parts of the video somehow gave me chills
*to symbolize female lesbianism*
Me:
*puts on all my black chokers*
haha
Samee
I don't want to be rude (I even liked your comment), but is there such a thing as: "female lesbianism"?
Females can be lesbians, "male lesbianism" is basically being straight 🤔
@@boglarkaborszuk8802 they/them and he/him lesbians exist ya know
smol idiot yes
What if your bisexual! THEN YOU WEAR GRAY CHOCKERS LOL!!
Even though this is so educational, I love Safiya's spin on it! Education (as in school) doesn't have to be a bad thing! I learned so much from this video! Thx Safiya!!!
wait who the hell said educational was a bad thing bcuz I'll fuck them up
Rexxi A I thought the zoomed in part was enough to convey satire, but perhaps they don't teach that concept in the Cruzian education system
savage lmao

"And we think diss tracks are savage."
Catherine Peng i loved that part
I literally never take my black stretchy plastic choker off, I wear it 24/7. Even when I sleep
3:23
Safiya: talking about Anne Boleyns
Choker/neckless
Me: *I'm that Boleyn girl, and I'm up next!*
Safiya's videos always make me feel like im actually learning and doing something with my life on youtube rather than losing brain cells like other videos make me feel lol
"I don't know for sure, but I don't think that's why."
This is, like, a perfect phrase to end such a video on. If you even do videos like this, it should be the finishing "sign off" phrase for the segment. Totally.

At last I found a youtuber who talks with proper knowledge . Wish you all the best ma'm
*i need someone to explain to me why I love safiya so much*
Literally a better history teacher than mine.

The first choker I ever saw was in disney's animated Cinderella movie when I was 4, I was like: "What's wrong with that necklace?!"
Katja Abrantes same, and my first thought was "how did that fit over her head?"
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT!!!
Katja Abrantes lmao sams
Katja Abrantes me too
same!!
Me and my sister LOVE wearing chokers!!! We wear them almost every day
You keep changing chokers
Like if you noticed
Safiya, gurl. you just unlocked another level on youtube. Buzzfeed should learn from this and see the kind of magic that can happen if only they trust their content-creators and producers. you are killin' it. much love from Singapore!

Saf, pretty please do more history of things videos! I love hearing you explain where stuff is from and why it exists (and your ever-changing chokers here crack me up).
This video so much more informative than my school lectures 😂😂😂😂😂😂👌👌👌👌👌👌and I also want to see a video called the history of period products because they obviously used no waste products since they couldn’t do it🤷🏻♀️
