Have I missed a reason why they have suddenly become so popular? I work with a lot of students and they all seem to have them ( both male and female). As far as I know Kenickie isn't in town, so AIBU to not get why they all seem to be happily showing them off.

Cuz they're having sex?! I had them a lot when I was a student, and so did my boyfriends... Covered them up when needed or possible (not wearing a scarf in the summer!) but I didn't see much of a problem when I was a student tbh, maybe they feel the same.

They always used to give me the massive creeps when I saw them on friends etc all the time back in the 90s. It’s like a kind of branding IMO. Grim.

I don't think they were ever unpopular for teenagers op

They're marking their territory.

Plus friends also do them on each other for a laugh apparently although I'm still not convinced about that one
