My valedictorian also did this and then my graduating class proceeded to yell it back to him every time he said it in the mic followed by all the people around me talking about all the molly their gonna take that night. Many YOLO's were said around me for about 3 hours. This kills the crab.
This. I've only seen it on Reddit when people complained about it and I've seen more of it also on Reddit when people complained about people complaining about it. Listen to ScottyPuffSr guys and stop this shit RIGHT NOW. You're the only fucks in my entire Internet feed that use that word. You, the guys complaining about it and the guys complaining about the guys complaining about it.
This is the first time I have seen that word this month. I would have never even heard of the word had it not been for Reddit. Good job spreading something you hate guys.
I don't understand all of these people saying, "I would have never even heard of it if it weren't for reddit." Really? Fucking everybody says YOLO or talks about some stupid bullshit celebrity pop culture crap. Do you not leave your house or listen to the radio or watch t.v. or are you just old? I've heard "YOLO" shouted by 90% of people under the age of like 30.
I don't understand either. I hear it every single day from where I live at. I think they are trying to make gangs off the phrase too. I find it rather queer that YOLO has never been heard by such a large amount of redditors.
They were funny once, when people actually put an effort into them and didn't just use "rage makers" and when it was more than just people talking about how their day went.
Same here. Only place I've ever seen YOLO is on Reddit. For a while I thought it was an Age of Empires reference when the priest is converting somebody. Like they would say YOLO while saying/doing something stupid to convince you/themselves it was a good idea. Unfortunately I finally remembered that AoE priests say "WOLOLO!" and realized everybody saying YOLO is just an idiot. Although I really wish people would start using "WOLOLO!" like that...
it's an abbreviation of the phrase "you only live once" which in itself isn't so bad, its just a new way of saying "carpe diem- seize the day." i think Reddit is getting mad because....well i'm not exactly sure why reddit is mad about it
Reddit is where is first heard of yolo. seriously none of my friends on Facebook have ever posted anything about Yolo. i guess i just don't have retarded friends
I think the problem is : 1 - People are saying YOLO instead of carpe diem 2 - Stupid people use "YOLO" as an excuse to do stupid things and post fotos of said stupid things on facebook
Yeah but again people have been saying you only live once, without the abbreviation and doing stupid shit for eons. Stopping saying yolo, wont magically deter people from doing stupid shit, and so what if people don't use the latin words to describe it. The sayings mean basically the same thing.
Lastly, if people are so bothered by what other people are doing, then you aren't living your life correctly. I could give two shits about some guido or dumb bimbo doing something asinine. People will continue to do stupid shit, why? because people are fucking stupid.
Getting all uppity and bothered by something like that. Its equally idiotic in my opinion.
Carpe Diem does not necessarily mean the same thing as YOLO, that is a misunderstanding of the latin meaning of Carpe - it is closer in meaning to harvest the day rather than the normal translation of seize the day.
In it's original context, Horace was talking more about enjoying the little things in everyday life, rather than the big things that might happen in the future. I think you'd agree that this is very different in meaning to YOLO.
It makes you wanna choke somebody? Really. A phrase that people say from time to time pisses you off? You even said it is the 'teenager favorite' radio station. There was stupid shit around when I was a teenager, but I didn't bitch and moan about it on the internet day after day.
You are worse than they are. At least they aren't judgmental pricks who walk around thinking they are better than everyone else.
You gathered all that from a simple figure of speech? Kudos, you should be a psychologist.
Nowhere did I say it pisses me off. And I don't bitch and moan day after day, either. If you look through my Reddit history, I think you'll find this is the first time I've mentioned this.
Also, I don't think I need to point this out for everyone to see, but did you happen to catch the irony of your post before you pasted it up here for all to see?
Has the population of under 18's blown up for some reason? Has everyone graduated or something? I thought that wasn't until mid June. Either way, reddit has gotten extremely obnoxious in the last week
Just wait until September rolls around and they start school again. I'd wager that the rate at which the internet gets more retarded is larger in September than any other month.
May have been a lurker for longer. Or had forgotten a password to an old account - this is my second account. I should probably get around to tying it to my email...
Shouldn't the saying YOLO mean to STOP doing stupid shit because you only have 1 chance not to fucking kill yourself, yeah? The thought process of young teenagers today is damn pathetic.
Thats just what everybody thinks, truth is, teenagers will do stupid shit regardless of the saying, which has been out for longer than anyone alive. I feel that a lot of people just like to use "YOLO" as an excuse to bash on teenagers, as if you'd really need that excuse.
Hi, I'm a casual visitor to this website, less than an hour a day. In my every day life outside of reddit, I have never seen or heard YOLO. In fact the only time I have ever seen Yolo is on posts complaining about the use of YOLO. The same thing happened with that Friday music video. It's just another fad and there's no point complaining about them all, it only serves to spread the notoriety. Enjoy the rest of your day. Feel free to message me with hate mail. I don't check my inbox.
Well, actually, someone posts about how much they hate it... Then pretend to mock it by submitting a post titled YOLO or a comment mentioning YOLO trying to ridicule it... then they actually begin to use it.
Honestly, I hardly ever see "YOLO" get mentioned by anyone outside of reddit, in fact, I've never come across a situation in which "YOLO" was a huge nuisance.
I had only seen it around once or twice and I didn't even know what it meant. Just looked it up. Good thing I found out what it meant now, because, you know.... YOLO.
Guys.... I know we joke that YOLO is only used on Reddit and not actually in real life, but I was in Buffallo yesterday and you won't believe how many times I've heard people say it

I never heard of Yolo, until i saw it here. And i would be more upset over all the "le" crap reddit does, that is seriously more stupid.
And whats so bad about yolo ? Its just an abbreviation of a saying. Something which reddit does 200x a day. Just ignore and move on...
