Comin' up on the Dirty 30 and the nostalgia feels are real
FP EDIT: Wow, that was surprising. Since we're all feeling that 90's nostalgia and it's my day off, send me good movies, TV shows, music, whatever.

What's with all the hashtags? Does it annoy anyone else?

I grew up a 90's kid and I can assure you that technology is rad. Would not go back.

I'm just confused why they didn't crop the top of the picture instead of blacking out the names.

I'm a 90's kid and think other 90's kids need to stop being fags
rugarththegreen
Millennials are people born between 1983 and 2000... So 90's kids are millennials.
Gwaiin
Yep, and post 2000 is Gen Z I think

I'm a 90's kid and I'm not bitter or sad. I loved my childhood currently loving my adulthood. Life is what you make it.
EarthDragon2189
But being well-adjusted and mature doesn't get you circlejerk karma from the stunted sad sacks griping about their dissatisfaction in life.
LifeHasManyDoorsEddBoy
Life is what you make it based on the amount of equity and money your parents have..
callumgee
That's a fucking cop out excuse. You can get wherever you want in life of you have the right attitude and drive. Parents don't come in to.it

You see many 3rd world or poverty class people planning for their future career and getting degrees? No. Those people have to fucus on 1/

I'm 30. A 90s kid. I'm not bitter I'm happy I experienced the changes. There's also no use in blaming a previous generation.
Mycologics
Instead work towards a solution. Nobody owes you a thing.
busdriverdan
Then why does the previous generation put all their problems on us?
Mycologics
I've never met anyone that actually does that. I've only heard millenials complain the previous gen does it.

I grew up in the 90's. Played outside. Got a great job now. My kid plays outside now. It's all good. I'm not bitter.
PanicAtTheCostco
Blah blah blah. I'm a 90s kid and I'm doing fine. Only financial help I got from my parents was help on my down payment for a car.
badmacaroni
"There are hardly any kids playing in the summer" What? Maybe not in 110 degrees but hell if I don't see 50 kids at the park during summer
AjEmEPoliszBojfrend
Right, the only reason they're not seeing kids outside is because they're spending too much time inside on Tumblr (and imgur).
CeCompteEstPourLaBite
The irony too of kids that stayed indoor to play early consoles complaining no one goes outside anymore...
wandergeist
Guess what: *every* generation grew up thinking the wold was boundless and they could be spiderman-rocketpilot-neurosurgeons. Adulthood sux.

Huh, a tumblr post with a 9gag water mark on imgur?

The inception is real. Post it on Facebook and come back here!

censoring usernames is such a 90's kid thing!
youresowrongImadeanaccount
You joke, but it's kinda true. Our parents didn't know any better, and now kids grow up with Facebook, but in our day shit was anonymous.

I technically stole this from another post, so to quote Shaggy: It wasn't me!

The best part of being much older than a 90s kid? back then the number sign was actually used as a place holder for numbers. hashtag nothing
Freakiestsumo
You realize that hashtags are used to group brands or concepts together on social media right? It has a purpose
Ambei
We're talking before social media, when we were kids
Freakiestsumo
It just seemed he was disparaging the use of hashtags.
srsfaceI8C
I don't really care if they get used, but use them right. The person in this post who used them didn't use them right.

When I was a kid, the pound sign was used to designate the IRC channel name, which was usually the topic for discussion there.

DontTalkToMeOrMyWaifuEverAgain
It saddens me how everyone younger than me that I've met (only 19) calls it a hashtag. "Number sign" is understandable at least but nope
TinyPincer
I call it a sharp
CtrlAndW
Well, that joke fell flat.
LuckyLucanos
In Sweden we simply call it "square" but in Swedish
Mousie87
I'm 15 and I say number sign.
MyBadProfile
Psst. It's called a pound.
UsuallySpecial
As a Brit, noooope. £ is a pound sign. # has a bunch of names, including "lading weight" which is measured in pounds.
LawFiveGuy
psst. English is a great language. Now, google "number sign/image" and google "pound sign/"
MyBadProfile
Psst. It's a tic-tac-toe sign.

what gets me is just how inexpensive tech is, it is currently feasible to buy children cell phones just because you feel like it

My uncle bought me a dslr for like $1500 and it was like 5 megapixels and memory cards of like 125mb was like $80... crazy time

There's probably a term for it. Keeping the shiny objects easy to access and the real means for social advancement just out of reach

My first phone had 450 daytime minutes, 900 nights & weekends, no texting/internet. It was just a blue Nokia that had snake as a game.
sunnytater1
Oh man I had the same phone in gold. And I had a pager before that!
HalloIamherenow
My first phone was a Virgin Mobile phone with 20 minutes a month. It was for "Emergencies only"

I remember the days when I was forbidden to press the "internet" button.

My first phone was a Nokia that didn't even have a clock. I literally used to call a number and ask what the time was.

Got my first phone for an out of state school trip, to be used only for emergencies, cause it was gonna cost a ton to use it.

Mine was a NEC flip phone with a colour display. I thought that shit was fancy af. Lasted me for ages, too.

N u were greatfull for it
TimberWilly
You're 100% right, I was! I had it so I could call my parents for rides after sports practices. It wasn't a "luxury" like it is now.
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED
I wasn't. I didn't want to be easily contacted any minute of the day.
Anonyfurb
But....that was the point. You couldn't. You run out of minutes, you're done. I always wasted my minutes on texting. xD

And we had to walk 15 miles in the snow to find a halfway decent signal!

I remember seeing ads for computers for thousands of dollars that are nothing compared to a two hundred dollar smart phone today
TimberWilly
What phone did you find that's $200? Cuz I want in on that shit like now.
ShaneEngland
amazon sell a phone for 50$ with ads, but if you root it you can remove them

I got a Samsung Galaxy J3 for ~$230. And the plan (no contract) is fairly cheap, all things considered.

I don't know where you bitter people live, but I see lots of kids outside even during winter. Mostly dealing drugs, but hey, its outside!
PanicAtTheCostco
It shouldn't. I'm a 90s kid and this whole thing is an excuse most use to explain why being successful is difficult
ImRickSanchezBitch
That's not it at all. It was just a better time back then.

Ok... almost every single generations has said that. I don't mean to start an argument with you but people act like 90s kids are special

Yes we live under the reign of the baby boomers. Yes we grew up during technology's most accelerated advancements. I'm not "BITTER" about it
ImRickSanchezBitch
To be real though, what other generation has seen advances like we have. 90s kids have been through some pretty amazing things. 1/2
ImRickSanchezBitch
And I think it's great in some way and horrible in others. But I definitely think 90s kids are special. And no argument my man all friendly
PanicAtTheCostco
True but these posts are always explanations for why 90s kids are bitter & angry at the world. What you're saying is fine. I'm over the rest
