3 Years of Service
This is just my own hypothesis but I've noticed that a few years after I left school cliques really stopped being as hard and fast as they had been. Kid's socializing was based on interests and got compartmentalized so that if you were "popular" and liked X you would talk to "unpopular" kids about X on discord/snapchat/whatever and that eroded social barriers even further. Then bullying started to been seen as more cringe than hierarchy reinforcing and that was the final nail. If the queen bees of the cheerleader group are just anyone and not the no one really cares about it as a thing outside of that specific interest for people participating.I just saw that thread asking about cheerleads in games, This got me thinking, have cheerleaders lost popularity in recent years?
I feel like they were in a lot more media before.
Is cheerleading even as popular as before in schools? Seeing the comic Bloodheart posted, I'm wondering if its all connected.
