Good, nothing is exclusive because of when you were born.

Gatekeeping is cool and makes you a bigger man.

Huh? Quick search shows that Oliver Tree is 30 years old, so birth year ~1994 or so. The jazz design came out in 1992 and was widely available through the early 2000s, by solo cup after they purchased it from sweetheart cup in 2004... I really don't see how he shouldn't know where the design came from, but regardless it's become a pop culture/nostalgia symbol because it's just a good, widely recognizable design. What else does he need to know?

It's a color pattern, what more does he need to know? This one is reaching hard with the gatekeeping.

edit: not knocking the iconic 90's pattern, I actually dig the guy's look despite his young age and perceived lack of exposure to the design

Not just any pattern, is the Solo cup "Jazz" design from the 90s.

Punk probably doesn't even know who Gina Ekiss even is.
