I was born 95, but I was the youngest kid. I was exposed to a lot of 90’s stuff that I probably wouldn’t have been if not for that, like the snes felt really crusty and old by the time I would have been old enough to get my own console, but I grew up mirroring the excitement of my older peers for stuff like SMW and Plok. I miss a lot of stuff from the 90’s and I was only ever 4 or younger in it hahahaha
Bro misses the ‘90s like he had rent to pay back then 😭
You had to be born in the mid late 80s To truly appreciate the 90s
GenX hates this one thing…
Thats not true, they hate most things.
Fuck you
This is what x, y and z can agree on
Recently got asked by a youngster whether I know Pokémon.
Kid … I was there, 3000 years ago at the beginning.
Was it Youngster Joey? Did he show you his Rattata?
me when kids explain minecraft history to me
me when kids explain weird-ass minecraft lore to me when i’ve been there since it was a browser game
I was 22 when Pokemon started becoming popular in the US. You really feel being a Gen Xer in a Millenial nostalgia world!
yeah, i’m an older Xennial and my younger sibling was not allowed to watch anime for reasons. My first handheld gaming console was my first smartphone in 2014? I don’t understand pokemans at all.
I have a neighbor who’s four years older than me, but the rift between 1983 and 1987, technology, seems insurmountable, it’s insane.
yeah. she had a smartphone when the first one came out. i didn’t get my first cell until 2007 because who wants people to be able to get ahold of them all the time
"Kids these days"TM don’t get any references before Pokemon…like McGuyvering, Voltron…so I resent Pokemon because of that…😬
mfw over half my hair is gray and the kids online are complaining about being old
mfw I get AARP monthly newsletters
Note you can sign up to AARP at any age.
can I wait to sign up until I’m 70 then? because shit is annoying.
I get aarp letters too, but it was also really common in the 90s and early 00s to fill in your birthday as the early half of the 1900s. So I think that’s just them thinking I’m over a hundred.
half? lucky.
It’s kinda silly. I was born very early 90s, but since I was so young I don’t actually remember much about that time. My teenager years were in 00s, so I much more identify as “millenial” or 90s baby rather than 90s kid
Totally. The difference between generations is cultural not time based.
Millennials are old enough remember where they were on 9/11. Similar to GenX and the Challenger explosion in 86. Not sure what the zoomer equivalent is -maybe Obama? For Gen alpha it’ll be remembering the pandemic starting.
Millenials can’t remember life before wireless communication.
Zoomer’s can’t remember life before the internet.
Alpha can’t remember a time before smart phones.
Gen Beta wont remember a time before AI (shudders)
Not sure about boomers/genx… probably something about the vietnam war or colour tv.

Boomers can’t remember WW2, lol they’re old but just barely not that old xd
90s kid here. i dont get it.
The one person was born in 2000 and the other person complains about how young they are. It turns out that the complainer was born in 1999, and therefore is only a year older. Thus making the complaint a bit silly.
I like to think he was born on 12/31/99 to make it extra ridiculous.
As that aging adult who was born on 12/29/99, it is extra ridiculous because 90s kids laugh at you and 00s kids think you’re already a corpse.
Technically a 90s kid!
thanks :)
ngl, now i feel a little silly for not having gotten it.
Its okay. Only 80s kids can appreciate the joke.
I thought the joke was they were both both before the start of the new millennium. Awful lot of people started counting with 0 instead of 1 in 2000.
I think of it like this. They’re a 90s baby, not a 90s kid.
90s kid would be more like born in the mid 80s to mid 90s so you have actual memories of the 90s.
I was born in 89, so remember a good portion of the 90s. It was a much simpler time but obviously we tend to romanticise the fun memories and quietly ignore how vastly more inconvenient daily life was.
Mobile phones were not really a thing yet so getting in touch with your friends required a combination of patience and sheer luck.
The internet was a different place entirely and was experienced in 30 minute chunks of time, just long enough to download a song or two before being kicked off for tying up the landline.
Daily entertainment was 4, maybe 5 analogue TV channels, plus a collection of VHS tapes which are all degrading by being rewatched constantly.
Every piece of life admin that you would normally do online today was instead done with pen and paper.
Honestly, I’m amazed we ever got anything done.
I was born in 84 so I grew up with the best of the late 80s and early 90s, the simplicity, style and general vibe of live in those days was amazing.
Come home from school, grab a sunny d, go watch cartoons while talking about how realistic the snes graphics looked. Play some pogs and replace the batteries on my yak bak, listening to oasis and reading goosebumps.
yeah i consider myself a 90s kid bc i was born in the 80s
same. i existed in the 80s, but i only really remember calvin and hobbes and some baseball games. i grew up in the 90s.
Wait so he was the baby from Eraserhead?
In Heaven
Everything is fine
Try being Gen X, lol.
No, thanks. You’ll always have better cultural references and more ironic detachment than my millennial folks, but we killed the most industries.
Oh, I don’t know about that. The best gaming came out during the millennial’s time. Gen X may have got the gaming ball rolling, but the 90’s and early 2000 really saw things take off in that department.
