Anyone openly talking about trying to get fit or put on muscle would probably be called a slur in school.

Distinctly recall an example of a man actually putting in effort to look good and take care of himself being labelled, quote "a metrosexual."

Yeah I was thinking of a gay slur beginning with "f".

It's probably quite surprising to young people now, but it was seen as extremely un-masculine to care about your appearance. 

There was a real nihilistic vibe and being cool meant being as un-aspirational as possible.

Culture has done a total u-turn since then.
