The last person to die who was born in the 90’s isn’t a 90’s kid, or at least won’t remember the 90’s.
IDK, it’s not impossible that someone who was born in the 80s will live go be freakishly old and outlive all the 90s kids.
not probable, but who knows, maybe they somehow avoided eating plastic based baby food or some shit.
The meme specifies that he was born in the 1900s and grew up in the 1990s.
As if someone born on December 31st 1999 wouldn’t self identify as a 90’s kid
Source: I was born in 1998 and I’m nostalgic of Nirvana, a group that disbanded before I was born
I was born in the 80’s but never have I ever considered myself an “80’s kid”, because that’s not really a meme, as much as all “only 90’s kids will remember”.
There’s like a 30-year span of 90s kids.
If you read your history books you’ll find it was a little more than just disbanded.
I hear that a shotgun was involved or something like that? I guess they were always arguing about who would sit in the front of the bus and it got so bad they just stopped playing
I mean, they could have replaced Cobain and continued. But they decided to disband instead.
Technically, they could have. But it wouldn’t have really been Nirvana without Cobain. It was pretty much Cobain’s cult of personality. If they had tried to continue without him, it would have been another one of those bands that starkly contrasts between before and after and the comment above would have been about never knowing Nirvana in its heyday.
Even if the continuation was good (and Dave Grohl is proof that there was enough talent for it in the rest of the band), it would have still been tainted by the lack of Cobain.
First time I heard what happened, it really blew my mind.
Yeah, it really left a hole in the music world.
I was born in 1990 and remember lots of stuff.
I remember Berlin, Challenger, and that dumb fuck Regan.
I don’t remember anything “90s kids” had because we were poor and all I had access to was PBS and some hand-me-down toys.
I didn’t even know what Nickelodeon was.
90s kids were born in the 80s. People always get this shit wrong.
I was born in 1990. Fully a '90s kid.
Humans, Reporters, and medical care in a hundred years?
Funny comic!
This reminds me of a movie I saw. Mr. Nobody. Jared Leto plays the last mortal human on earth in the year 2092. He’s interviewed right before his death about his life and the things he did back before humans solved mortality.
The “you’ve got mail” guy recently died.
I want the time I spent reading this back.
How many hours have you lost?
The punchline lands like a DNC-run election.
As a 90s kid I definitely feel like there’s such a huge generational gap in the past 20 years though, so much changed so rapidly since then.
Like watching MP3 players come and go. And the transition of videotapes to discs to streaming. Or watching nobody own a cellphone to the entire world not being able to go anywhere without one. As well as throwaway cameras to everyone having one in their pockets.
Pre 00s and after is such a difference in just about everything. I wonder what the pre 10s and after will be like.
Really though, we were at the center of the tech boom growing up. VHS to live streaming. Physical media is retro in such a short time. It’s not even necessarily the advancements on their own (which saying were massive may be an understatement) but also the implementation and sociatal acceptance.
We went from “don’t talk to people on the internet, don’t meet with them, don’t give out personal information”, to literal non-stop blogging of all our life events to as many people who care to see it. This is not a lamentation, merely a statement to express how far things have changed in effectively one generation.
It moved so fast that even most 90s kids don’t have agreeable substance for “the way we did it” since it changed and developed so fast. People two years apart in the 90s can have radically different views of what it was like because it didn’t stay that way for any length of time. VHS to DVD to Blueray and streaming. XBox, Kinect, to VR. Calling, to Email, to AOL, to text, to smartphones and message apps. It was a wild burst of tech that was astonishing and ground shaking.
Funny how the fact that I’ve owned a Walkman, discman, iPod classic, iPod nano, and iPhone as music solutions is kind of generation defining.
This all hits home. And for me, in the rural US at the time, the world got a lot bigger.
We went from expensive long-distance telephone calls and local BBSes to instant access to everyone and everything.
We went from 2-lane roads to affordable(ish) flights and direct highways.
Despite where we may be today, as an early adopter of everything, I’m happy to have had a front row seat to all that.
It’s been fast like that since the end of WWII.
My parents were born in the early 60s and they saw records replaced with eight tracks and then cassettes and then CDs and then mp3s and now streaming.
Answering machines were a novelty when my parents were children and now we have cell phones.
The internet wasn’t even something you could have imagined in your wildest dreams in the 1970s.My uncle was on Wall Street in the 80s, and he distinctly remembers everyone mocking email as a passing fad later in the decade
Pre-10s: I used google for everything and bought needless shit online. Dont trust anything you read there though.
Post-10s: I use AI for everything and buy needless shit online. Don’t trust anything you read there though.
We literally went from doing essays in a library to using internet and printers (at first my teachers even forbid students from using Internet as a source), heck I even wrote on a typewriter a few times
“Wikipedia is not a source, anyone can edit it! You can’t be certain anything on there is true!!”
Now wikipedia is probably the last bastion of decent information online. At minimum, a well-souced article gives you an excellent starting point.
Remember to donate to Wikipedia if you haven’t, we desperately need them to remain independently funded
Look into it. I cannot explain this well. They actually have more than enough money. In fact they are spending recklessly in other projects because of that.
Yes we should donate if that changes but right now it would be better to donate to less well funded open projects.
Well that’s sad I give them a dollar every month
I mean as far as I know they are not doing anything inherently bad and have good intentions. So no need to feel sad.
I am just recommending to look into projects that are in dire need of funding.
Oooh, that’s a fun one. I can just barely remember some of my early research projects for school - getting source material at the library was a bear. What a time to be alive.
Beeeeeeeeee BRRRRRRRR waDONg brDONG tshhhhhhhhhhhh TSHHHHHHHHHHHPTBHPTHBBPT
Some 80’s children will remember you also could get that sound from loading data from a K-7 tape.
Finally, a genuine connection
There’s also a Meeeeeeemooooomeeeeemoooo or a Neeeeeeee-nrrrrr Neeeeee-nrrrrrr, if you will.
You got 15 minutes!
My parents
“Get off the dang computer, your grandma could call any minute!”
Go 'way mom I’m asking Jeeves! It’s for homework!
