I guess I've finally reached that point in my life where I'm the one raising my eyebrows at the new 'trends' youth spreads these days. I keep seeing it pop up everywhere, at first I thought it was used for the ironic ridiculousness of it. You know repeating it for it's own ridiculous sake- but low and behold and more often than not, it's used with serious intent.

You only live once so you should make the most of it by living responsibly and being as successful as possible, not being idiots and going out and doing dangerous stuff like most ppl who believe in YOLO do.

Freedom & Responsibility work best when applied Directly rather than Inversly.

People just use it as an excuse to do dumb things. "I cheated on my girlfriend. Yolo!" "I was a half hour late to work. Yolo!" Congratulations, you're an idiot.

It's so overused in a ridiculous way, in my opinion. I saw a kid turning in his application at a gas station the other day wearing a huge YOLO shirt and sunglasses...inside... I just thought to myself "I'd throw that away as soon as he walked out the door."

I don't like it. Sure, the statement is pretty nice " you only live once ", but
many people make abuse of that. Meaning : Go to a party , drink , get pregnant. Why ? " calm down man, YOLO! " And that's not ok, in my opinion.

This saying is unnecessary. Did you morons think you could live more than once before those rappers started saying YOLO?

"YOLO": "carpe diem" for the uneducated. I don't know about you, but "carpe diem" is much classier.

You know, I have a much better usage for the term "YOLO". Use it when talking about something really safe rather than something risky. Like, "Looked both ways before I crossed the street, YOLO," or "Made sure to drive the speed limit and looked out for drunk drivers, after all, YOLO." :P
