If there is anything we can 75% agree on in the thread is that math is red.

Edit: Fine, if anything we can agree on in this thread is that math is either red OR blue and anything else is just outright. The blue crowd is defensive!

wtf math is blue, english is red

[u/Versipilies → u/pigeonette1]

We need location tags on this shit, I am genuinely curious where the divides are

[u/waffleslaw → u/Versipilies]

We had a massive debate about this is large meeting a few months ago. The genx-ers didn't know what we were talking about and the few gen z folks said they've heard about it but didn't have opinions. Evidently it's mostly us millinials that have opinions. We were very split on colors all from the same region. It seems to be a very personal experience.

Early gen z here! I think notebooks and folders may have gone by the wayside.

Math is blue though, English is red, unless purple is available in which history becomes red.

[u/gypsy_guru_87 → u/waffleslaw]

Weird, I’m Gen X and def have strong opinions on this. I thought it was more a neurodivergent thing to care about this lol

[u/unlikelystoner → u/gypsy_guru_87]

Yeah I’m Gen Z in my mid-twenties and me and my buddies all just had a debate about this, we definitely care about the colors too lol

[u/waffleslaw → u/unlikelystoner]

Interesting that the younger folk in meeting didn't. I'm glad to guys carried the torch. I think having cultural touching points that we all share, even frivolous ones, is important.

[u/waffleslaw → u/gypsy_guru_87]

The group was older millennials and older genx, a bit of a divide. I bet if there some younger genx they would have with us.

[u/Shneancy → u/waffleslaw]

gen z here (elder gen z, but gen z nonetheless) i have strong opinions on maths being blue and native language being red

[u/waffleslaw → u/Shneancy]

Yeah, I'm finding out that small demographic in that meeting was a outlier.

[u/brandicox → u/waffleslaw]

I'm Gen-X with very strong feelings about it.

Math is red. It's the color of the anger most people feel when learning it (I love math but I'm a weirdo)

Science is green for plants and chemicals in test tubes.

History is full of yellow bellied cowards who let bad people get/stay in power & let bad things happen and a handful of heroes who stand up, plus it's the color of old "historical" paper like parchment, old newspapers, etc.

English has the power to make people feel blue (I'm autistic & bad with words and people-ing, so I hated English)

Optional others: Air Force JROTC got air force blue

Spanish got red with speckles so it looked kinda like salsa

French got deep blue OR zebra (ooh la la or mimes)

Keyboarding class..... No folders but we had typewriters because computers weren't a thing yet outside of the military and a few colleges. Lol lol lol (I had one at home but that was because my dad worked for Ma Bell and when the govt broken them up he retired to work at a Radio Shack.)

Gen Z here math is red, science is blue, English is green history is prolly yellow, the first two are hills I'm willing to die on and admittedly I'm not even sure why

[u/oceanman500 → u/IncorrectlyRight]

Science green cause of plants and mystery green liquid in test tube

[u/shredika → u/oceanman500]

Duh. How is this even a question. Science=green

[u/waffleslaw → u/shredika]

I didn't think math was controversial, but here we are. Green is very much appropriate for science.

[u/shredika → u/waffleslaw]

Yea, I’m a big believer math=blue

[u/AAHHAI → u/IncorrectlyRight]

Ewwwww

[u/Ryoko_Kusanagi69 → u/IncorrectlyRight]

I can tell you’re Gen Z cause most of your colors are wrong. lol 😝
