There was a documentary I watched years ago on Netflix that said it dates back to the 70's, possibly as far backs pre 1900, but in pop culture the 70's for sure.
Its amazing how international this S is and nobody knows where it came from. Its one of the most crucial social mysteries of the the late 20th century.

I think it's fair to say every kid likes to take credit for something they were shown by a grown up that they find out other kids don't know yet.
There's always that one young kid that made up a joke that everyone over the age of 10 has already heard.

What is this symbol? The letter S? The number 8? Zero or O twisted in the middle?
The answer: Yes.

This has been kicking around for so long, I wonder where it originally came from!

PS. Not just the 90s. We were drawing that in the 80s also .

My mind was blown when I learned this was never actually associated with Stussy.
