When did showing the peace/V sign become trashy?

How did we get from picture #1 to picture #2?
Or, am I missing something and they are unrelated?

Actually, the trend started in Japan, and has spread.

It's one of the best known aspects of Japanese culture — many Japanese people like to give a two fingered V-sign in photos.
quote:
In Japan, the peace sign has become a visual "cheese" — a cue to the photographer that you're ready for the photo. Like saying cheese — it seems to make you more photogenic somehow.
quote:
How the peace sign made the jump from the hippie subculture to mainstream Japanese society isn't known. Urban legends link it to a popular American figure skater (Janet Lynn) or a 1972 Japanese Konika commercial. Whatever the spark — beginning in 1972 it was popular amongst Japanese youth to pose for photos with a peace sign.
quote:
f you visit Japan you may find yourself giving the peace sign in photos. Virtually every tourist to Japan does it. It's often done mockingly at first — but it's addictive.

It's trashy to throw the peace sign pointed at yourself. Not so much the normal hippie way.

Showing the front of hand = Not Trashy
Showing the back of hand = Trashy
Showing the back of hand = Trashy

But what is the back of the hand version supposed to symbolize?
I'm in my 20s, but I feel like a 65 year old when it comes to this.

Trashy shite is only trashy when trashy people do it. Everyone can't be held to the same trashy standard
ETA: the amount of wristbands this chick has pisses me off though

History lesson: Churchill isn't flashing a "peace sign". It's "V" for "Victory".

Which is why I put "V sign" in the thread title.

I've never understood why people feel the need to throw up some hand sign every time they take a picture.

If the palm of the hand faces the signer (i.e., the back of the hand faces the observer), the sign signifies: As an insulting gesture in Australia, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.
quote:
The insulting version of the gesture is often compared to the offensive gesture known as "the finger". The "two-fingered salute", (also "the forks" in Australia) is commonly performed by flicking the V upwards from wrist or elbow. The V sign, when the palm is facing toward the person giving the sign, has long been an insulting gesture in England, and later in the rest of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, India, Pakistan and New Zealand. It is frequently used to signify defiance (especially to authority), contempt, or derision.
or just "shite white kids do" to make them look like they're throwing gang signs.....
