Good, nothing is exclusive because of when you were born.

Gatekeeping is cool and makes you a bigger man.

Huh? Quick search shows that Oliver Tree is 30 years old, so birth year ~1994 or so. The jazz design came out in 1992 and was widely available through the early 2000s, by solo cup after they purchased it from sweetheart cup in 2004... I really don't see how he shouldn't know where the design came from, but regardless it's become a pop culture/nostalgia symbol because it's just a good, widely recognizable design. What else does he need to know?

Anybody thirsty?

What ever happened to those cups? They run out of busienss?

It's a color pattern, what more does he need to know? This one is reaching hard with the gatekeeping.

edit: not knocking the iconic 90's pattern, I actually dig the guy's look despite his young age and perceived lack of exposure to the design
