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.

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 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!
We grant you a seat on the council but do not grant you the title of 90’s kid.

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.

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.

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.

mfw over half my hair is gray and the kids online are complaining about being old

mfw I get AARP monthly newsletters

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.
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.

When I turned 30 I was quite ate up about it.

Now almost 20 years beyond that point, when a colleague turns 30, “oh whatever you’re still just a baby lol”

Funny how that works

perspective and time is a bitch. I hear about my little nieces and nephews getting married or having kids and all I can remember is how tiny they were the last time I saw them.

I see them and I think, damn you’re still kids.

Recently got asked by a youngster whether I know Pokémon.

Kid … I was there, 3000 years ago at the beginning.

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
“Kid you don’t even know what Alpha means…”
All these zoomers thinking I’m a manosphere chud because I said I played minecraft alpha version 😣
My kid is getting into Minecraft and it’s so hard to not stop their excitement by being like “yeah, I know, I’ve been playing this for longer than you’ve been alive” because I love how excited they get learning about how to make basic shit (and they’re playing ATM10,so there’s a TON of shit they haven’t even come close to seeing) and sharing that with me.
i prefer vintage story

Reminds me of a time when my nephew was playing vintage Super Mario Kart and started trash talking me about how long they had been playing and that I didn’t stand a chance.

“I was playing this since before you were born kid”

Most kids these days don’t get any references before Pokemon…like McGuyvering…so I resent Pokemon because of that…
I thought mcguyver was a simpsons thing for about 25 years until I learned the truth

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
Started getting popular… The original release of games in 1998 was an enormous success here in the US, Pokemon was popular from inception; when are you referring to?
Okay xoomer, I bet you don’t get spongebob references either do ya!
Not directly! Only if they’re repeated a lot online.

What a sad, depraved life… 😔

(/jk)

Was it Youngster Joey? Did he show you his Rattata?
I sent him to the tower of souls same as I did with Gary. Never stop training
Son, I remember when people were confused about Mr. Game and Watch while I was fondly reminiscing about my first handheld while looking at my childhood through R.O.B colored glasses.
Bro. Blackjack on the studio II.
it took my mom and I half an hour to figure out how to leave the house when we first booted up pokemon blue

I tell my kids that any pokemon beyond the original 151 is a fake pokemon.

Get off my lawn!

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” 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

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.
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
Meh (as a standard gen x answer).
mid 70s. i am a 90s kid because all my highschool and vollege was in the 90s… no one cares about a grunge 10 year old
