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.
