    Fidgeting is used primarily as a coping skill for neurodivergent folk. A lot of neurotypical people copied the style of fidgeting, but to them fidgeting was more about playing with and having fun like a usual toy then helping with anxiety or sensory processing issues. I remember being neurodivergent in a classroom and needing fidgets to help stay still, and having other classmates who were neurotypical using fidget spinners to play with, which made a loud whirring noise I could pick up on especially well, and it did a good job distracting me while the fidgets I used were stress balls or stretchy toys and were quiet. I could pick up on small sounds especially well, and they didn’t even need fidgets in the first place, they just had them because they were trendy. Many neurodivergent adults need to use fidgets even though they are primarily seen as for kids.

    the rise of fidgeting toys is so facinating to me because as a neutrotypical person it honestly made it harder for me to fidget with items and toys because they’re seen as, well, toys, and not things i need to focus. it makes me wonder what the catalyst was for them to suddenly explode in the market

      Idk how old you are but I found that once I was out of high school, and in to college and jobs, people care a lot less about them and are a lot more open to their use. Most adults have something they fidget with but don’t notice (pens, markers, jewelry, ext), so once you say oh I just need something in my hands, they leave it at that (at least at the places I’ve worked). Good luck!

    I remember slime becoming popular in my country (Spain) via Chinese Bazaars selling the garbage slime cans of unnamed brands for really cheap. The smell was weird and I'm pretty sure those slimes were toxic for the skin, but they were a little popular. Then the slime trend died out until internet slime happened and pharmacies made a nice profit out of contact solution to the point that you needed to present an eye prescription to buy contact liquid due to shortage

    I guess I have 0 taste because I never really wanted to get slimed. It just seemed like it'd be annoying as hell to clean and not that fun of an experience while it happened.

    I've been pretty active in the slime community ever since it's rebirth in 2016, and watching it evolve through the years has been really neat.
    It started out as a cute, sparkly and and aesthetically pleasing kids toy, to being a sort of art-form.
    There are many smaller creators in the slime community that make slimes more "artistically driven," i guess you can say LOLLL. Apart from it being a satisfying fidget thing, it's also become an outlet to express emotion, share stories, and inspire. Slowly but surely, it's evolving to become a collectible of sorts.
    There are many older teen/adults who are genuinely interested in this hobby, and add their own unique spin to the products. It's very cool. I too am very curious to see how far slime will go in this day and age, especially with these more creative and artistic creators blossoming in the community 👍

    Great video! I will say though, it wasn't Nickelodeon that was throwing rotten food on kids. YCDTOT was an acquired show from Canada and they were sliming kids for years before Nickelodeon picked up the show, even though they did request more at some point but that was much farther in when the slime wasn't rotting food anymore (and even the rotting food anecdote has been debated by people who worked on the set). And we know what the Double Dare Slime was. It was applesauce, vanilla pudding, green food dye and powder coffee creamer. There's a lot of different recipes for slime that have been used over the years but the slime used at Nick was always edible.

    Probably the closest thing I have to a slime toy are those Heroes of Goo-Jit-Zu figures. I'm almost convinced they were inspired by the popularity of slime toys from the late 2010's haha.
    Like with slime, you could stretch and squish the toys, and they have unique fillings that make them really fun to play with. Later waves also had some unique gimmick to make them more appealing. Half the appeal is the toys having characters you can get attached to like Blazagon and Trash, thus letting you play with them like with an action figure. I only have one toy from the Galaxy Attack line, but I'd love to get more of them! GA Blazagon is just so fun to hold and squish.

    I discovered slime because of my sister and mostly slime videos, me and my sister we used to make all of these different slimes. I remember one I had called it "Pinkie Pie" as the slime was pink 🙂

    Omg Flubber!!! My childhood slime exposure in the 2000s consisted of Nickelodeon, little balls of slime from the quarter machine (where you get toys and candy), and people making diy borax and glue slime for science fairs. Another phenomenon has been the popularization of interactive experiences like the Museum of Ice Cream, Illusions, and even Sex, and Escape Rooms, etc. I was in Soho, NY one time when I walked by a line of parents and kids in line for a slime experience. I couldn’t believe we made it to that point.

    awesome video! loved the background & history of slime. it's safe to say there is a whole culture of slime, and i was unaware of how much it had evolved in recent years! i always loved slime and putty based toys and still have a jar of neon green dollar store slime in my room. the new slimes may be cute but i think classic radioactive green will always be my favorite.

    Meanwhile in the UK when it came to slime stuff we had these alien toys with a rubber aliens inside the egg that came with this gel like slime. One time those toys got banned at our school all because of some kid throwing slime at another kid and all went down hill from there. Side note I love slime for being a sensory aesthetic thing something cute and pretty than gross.
    As a kid I also had a weird fascination of it I was never grossed out by it fully. So seeing others grossed out it felt weird to me idk its likely the autism . ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I used to work for one of the Nickelodeon theme parks and we were taught the propriety recipes for various slimes and gaks used in the Double Dare live show we did. What we made wasn’t any variety of edible slimes despite other versions of the show having it. I was a cast member of this live show version of Double Dare that ran twice daily for a month at various times during the year (we did Double Scare in October that was more Halloween themed). We got kids to sign up who would show up like an hour or half an hour or so before the show and we’d teach them how it worked and show them the slimes and gaks, we had to make sure they were totally ok with getting messy (though we provided them with outfits and shoes to wear during the game, and stuff to wash up with in the bathrooms). The game was two teams of two kids each competing in trivia rounds and physical challenges. At the end the winning team of 2 went through our Double Dare Obstacle Course (we had the wringer and the pick-it nose, among other items) and if they could complete that in time, they won what we called “Nickelodeon’s highest honor” of being slimed. (Even if they didn’t complete it in time, we made sure the slime didn’t go to waste and slimed them anyway for making it as far as they did lol) I slimed so many kids during my time there lol it was a wild time. Sad to say the show hasn’t been able to make a comeback in a world affected by covid (we were in rehearsals and set to open again right when the shutdowns began 🙃 and then we all got laid off lol some of us came back later on when Entertainment started to bounce back but it’s just not the same without Double Dare). I still have my tshirts from our show and I treasure them 💚

    I think for me and many kids who were in primary school in the UK in the late 90's-early 00's, the craze of 'alien eggs' was an early experience of having your own slime. They were clear plastic eggs that could be opened, and contained a squishy rubber alien foetus wrapped in slime. They were collectables with many colour combinations which couldn't be seen until you opened the packaging, which made some colours rare and desirable.
    There were always rumours about how, if kept under the right conditions (temperature, slime colour), the alien could become pregnant and give birth to another alien (which was obviously false). I think it turned out that there was another company who did actually make 'pregnant' versions of the same toy, so it's no surprise this rumour spread.

    I can only think about how the nickelodeon slime period was probably the time that slime and messy fetishes were developed by watchers and producers on the show. I dont know if this is true but it sure is a disturbing but interesting thought.

    Months ago, I watched the Arcade Culture video and thought it was some kid's school presentation simply being uploaded to YT. It was cute background noise while gaming. Now, without being subscribed, I am recommended everything you've done and it's surprisingly interesting to listen about what was popular after my childhood ended and how some trends from that childhood evolved to fit into your own. I'm definitely not part of the targeted audience for content about Claire's or Silly Bandz, but I've enjoyed learning about it all the same, so thank you, DJ.

    I'm so thankfull for having discovered you channel! Normally when people do nostalgia thingies, it's the 2000s. But for some reason, you're always able to talk about the early 2010s children's entertainment which is exactly when I was growing up!
    I thought I was the only 'gore kid' back in the day (early 2010's) who wanted to get slimed in the most extreme way possible, and if not possible, see others get slimed in the most extreme way possible!
    Just a thingy, do y'all remember the slime car wash from 201x? That was my favourite year.
    I'm like one of the most clean and well-behaved children/young adults you'll ever meet. I've always wondered why I went through that 'gore phase' how, why etc.
    Thanks for clarifying my childhood! Your videos are a trip down memory lane. ;)

It was such a good phase for me as kid, I ATE up lps popular or any lps series with drama..and can we just talk abt how the community was oml…lil me wanted to be a lps tuber so bad so I made one but if obviously wasn’t popular enough and it was terrible lol..but it’s the influence and shows how much lps tube affected me.
