When I was a 12 year old people were drawing that pointy S, which first started showing up in graffiti in the 70's but became a staple in middle school notebooks by the 90's. Somehow it had gone fully national without seeming to have any adult influence in its spread.

Also around the same time, "my bad" entered the lexicon, and went from basketball-coded slang to basically mainstream acceptance by the 90's, with this blog post from 2005 amusedly marking its use among Ivy League faculty members.
