I hate to break it to you, kid, but most parents (old folks) have been there, done that. Screaming a tag line prior to showing off is hardly a new concept. :facepalm: Long before YOLO, terms for announcing silly acts included:

"hey y'all watch this"
"Carpe Diem"
"Geronimo!!!"

Heck, even your older siblings would yell "To Infiniti and beyond"

The tag line/word is not the issue, but using it prior to doing something so far off the charts reckless and suicidal is not exactly what the artist had in mind. If it accomplishes anything here, it helps paint a unwanted stereotype for stupidity on the current crop of young people. That's not exactly something to be proud of.

Most of my scars were preceded with "I can make it."

Gotcha. I guess I dont really notice it because I try to stay out of public places as much as possible, because in general I hate the public, and #YOLO.

SWAG = Secretly We Are Gay, just saying. Thats a real definition as used by closet homosexuals in the fifties and sixties. Maybe it's the old age talking but this entire generation (and the one before it) are the biggest group of retards to ever walk the planet. Yeah my generation weren't genius' but we did invent Google, Facebook, and a couple other pretty cool things. This generation has brought us YOLO, Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, and a whole lot of stupidity.

LOL, #YODO does seem more accurate, but then again there's a current obsession with zombies, so perhaps #YOLT (like the old James Bond movie title) might be finally be appropriate?
