This 90s kid thing, however, has gotten way out of hand. For some reason, being born in the center of all of these things makes my generation think that they have the right to bash this upcoming generation because they're growing up differently than we did.Yes, I do find it slightly ridiculous that 10 year old kids have cell phones. Yes, I find it extremely disturbing when elementary school kids swear more than I have in my entire life. Does that mean I need to form negative preconceived notions of this generation, and hate them without any logical reason? No.

Actually, I hate most of humanity in general. My above argument is a failure. Sorry, '00s kids, but your standards of living disgust me. I assure you that you would be able to survive without your smart phone. Stop waving it around the air to flaunt the fact you have text conversations with your 5 phone contacts.
Though I can't understand why the 90s kid movement insists that anyone born in 1997 does not qualify as a 90s kid. It's a physical description of time, for God's sake.
This post may surprise you with its bitterness, but I'm actually not that bitter of a person. I'm just somewhat fed up with humanity and all the ridiculous things it comes up with to waste time. I guess that makes me a hypocrite though, because most of my time is spent browsing internet meme.
I'm not entirely lost, though! I found a picture of penguins in sweaters today.
Let's all say it together now! "Awwwww."
By the way, thanks all of you guys for your congratulations! They were very much appreciated :)
PENGUINS!!! OMG THANK YOU! I HAD A REALLY AWFUL WEEK BUT NOW I HAVE IMAGES OF SWEATER WEARING PENGUINS SWIMMING THROUGH MY HEAD.
ReplyDeleteLife is good.
I laughed when you totally switched sides! Hahahahaha
I agree. Children growing up right now…life sucks for them. They're growing up too fast and it's sad. I can't tell yet if it's going to ruin them though. There's a 50/50 chance they will end up being the worst generation in the history of man. Besides like… Hitler's generation or whatever. I sound like an idiot. I apologize. I got three hours of sleep last night and now it is 1:42 AM. I just finished writing two papers that were due at midnight. I STARTED THEM THIS AFTERNOON
I fail.
okay. Bye Anna. Lovely chatting with you!
I MISS MY FURBY!! I LOVED IT SO MUCH!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I agree with this blog, and definitely laughed out loud at this bit.

I think I have summed up my angst to be just against pretentiousness in general. Just get over yourself, for goodness sake.
(Not you, the pretentious people...) :]
But omg I was born in 1990 so DON'T EVEN try to tell me you're more of a 90s kid than me. ;] ;]
Found your blog because you're the top google search result for '90s kid phenomenon'! I didn't catch onto the fact this was a trend because I'm not on tumblr or twitter or anything but the Teennick 90s block showed me the way to it.
Delete90s kid thing is ridiculous to me for two reasons:
- No one's childhood fits neatly in a decade because childhood is longer than 10 years.
- All the '90s are all that' shows ran into the 2000s. When I was in elementary school in the 90s, numerous 80s cartoons and shows were still on the air that aren't anymore. My favorite album in 1995 was Thriller. Point being, a lot of the stuff can't be boxed into the decade markers either. remembering stuff like TV shows, isn't exactly remembering and appreciating the year it was made.
I'm fascinated with kids born around 95-96 spreading messages like "I miss the 90s, best years of my life" on social media because I don't understand why anyone is eager to go back to diapers or even preschool. I was born in the 80s but still think I was a kid at least slightly past the dreaded y2k.
