its the best generation for dumb shyt like TV sitcoms and Cellphones but trash cause the people born in the early 80s took all the jobs than the economy went to shyt.
Yes man, I laugh because I remember finishing grade school and our educators/parents would clown us about youtube, myspace, videogames etc being a WASTE of time, mindless, no future etc, look at it now, social media, marketing, gaming, I get upset sometimes our (my) parents failed us, big time.
aside from that, alot of muthafukas are weird nowadays man....just not cut from the same cloth.

You know you grew up in the 90s if:
Wore a Polo/Hilfiger wave cap damn near all the time.
Remember nikkas with "booty cuts" (like a shag but instead of at the base of your neck, it was much higher).
You wore white K-Swiss and had matching shoe strings in every color for your outfits
Could not believe how dudes in high school (would be HS or young adult in early 00s) would have every damn throwback baseball, basketball and football jersey.
Knew someone that got jumped for their Jordan 11, 12 or 13s.
Went to Burlington Coat Factory and got one of those 5-button Steve Harvey suits for church...and no one could tell you shyt.
Remembers when Sega had a network.
Thought the Dreamcast was finna revolutionize games until PS2 came out a little later and put that shyt to bed.
Everyone was playing GoldenEye on N64.
NBA on NBC music was the best. You knew Jordan was finna get his 30/6/6...but just needed Paxson/Kukoc or Kerr to make those "good shooting white boy" shots.
Madden and Summerall made big games seem bigger and more important. Bonus points if you remember them on CBS before Fox came on the scene.
Remembers when football was just CBS/NBC and the AFC games on NBC seemed like the Junior Varsity compared to the NFC. Monday Night Football on ABC was the shyt (Al Michaels, Dan Dierdorf and and Frank Gifford).
New York Undercover made you scared of going to NYC.
When Tommie Frazier and Nebraska beat Florida like they stole something. Steve Spurrier looked like he had to shyt his pants the whole game.
When a football game would be interrupted for a Sammy Sosa or Mark McGwire at-bat.
Knowing that April was "terrorist month." Columbine, Oklahoma City Bombing, Branch Davidians in Waco,TX etc.
Every black comedian referring to Bill Clinton as the first black president because he liked getting head, playing the saxophone and smoked some weed.
Remember the transition from gangsta rap to "cars, clothes, heauxs" rap.
When black TV shows would have that 'on a special episode of....' stuff when gangs and guns would threaten one of the main characters...or talk about us needing to squash the East Coast vs West Coast beefs.

the millennial shyt shouldnt be set in stone... its way too big of a gap based on technology and the world changing 1994 was absolutely different than 1996 and 1998-1999 was COMPLETELY different than 1996
I was born in 87 and had a computer before windows existed. I was on dial up mad early around 92-94
my nikka TV's used to have fukking oven knobs on them and you would pap pap pap to 13 channels and only 4-5 worked. Beyond VHS you had to collect magazines for everything ... books and magazines. I dont watch TV anymore for the past 5-6 years or so ... never really liked it... but back then you had about 3-4 shows a night on a channel and you had to watch it. Then the TV either went to a signal or infomercial for the rest of the night. Keeping a book and having phone numbers was godly, if you met a bytch or someone at the park... you had to get there number and write it down, or else you may never see them again. Or say some shyt like "be here at 5pm tuesdays" Everyone touched on the nostaliga so I'll touch on the feeling. Everything was deeper back then, whatever you did... you cared about. A 20$ basketball would have the whole neighborhood lit for weeks. Then we were all inside at 8pm to watch the game. That would make everyone stick to that same thing for months. Even down to the people just watching, it became an event. Just like say, rollerblading... if you decided "lets get some rollerblades" and 1-2 other people got rollerblades. Boom you might start a wave and end up playing street hockey. When something happened back then, it set off a chain reaction and made it even more fun. Very cheap ways to have a good time and the more people you had, the better. The very light touch of technology kept us on the same page and not ego'd out. It felt more unified because we were all watching the same stuff and receiving the same info. There werent many reasons to hate because you were on your own wave, a wave could get going based on how many people you could find to do it. And MTV had such a diverse cast of people and music that you would end up liking a smashing pumpkins song and video... then immediately see and love some Naughty By Nature shyt. You couldnt avoid all types of good shyt because everything was random
a big reason why this generation talks shyt about the destruction of talent and happenings now, is because back then you had to be the best to get a shot. You werent making it anywhere if you were average. There was no time and space for anything that wasnt the best it could be. And the evolution of technology made everything be better and better each month. We were in a race VS machines and technology. Once the flood gates opened it all spilled out and you had too much information and too many people. The talent level and uniqueness of everything turned into water. Then people showed their cards by accepting and believing in false shyt...which is where we're at now. Where people are offended if you dont accept average shyt that they like... they look at it like an attack instead of fact.

It is a dramatic irony that we have all this tech and we have been come more anti-social as a society.
Much of this behavior is due to not having real-time feedback amongst peers, no accountability and hypersensitivity to any criticisms.
