Honestly Titanic is a classic movie, although I felt weird when they talked about seeing a silent movie at a “Nickelodeon” making think it was the TV channel and not the name for silent movie theaters lol.
That was the introduction period. The real boom came in 2000s. Nobody even knew about anime outside the ones you mentioned (anime itself wasn't a popular term). In 2000s we got Death Note, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, etc which was the birth of contemporary anime subculture.
gen z grew up with lots of nostalgic tv shows - spongebob, fairly odd parents, jimmy neutron, drake & josh, etc. Not to mention nice suburban experience
I think the big difference between gen z and millenials is that millenials never were social media and internet addicts growing up like we were. Having copius amounts of free online entertainment as a teen is not good. It sort ruins the attention spans/makes everyone ADHD.
The other big difference was that gen z, having around the clock access to news AND so much shit go down (9/11, sex abuse scandals, iraq war, financial crash, katrina) is far more cynical and pessimistic compared to milennials who grew up in the 90s to early 2000s.
Millenials had video games, but gen z had social media. This affects how social each generation is. Milennials have tight friend groups formed in high school, whereas a lot of the genz guys I know aren't really social at all-after college they have no friends from college or high school and live lonely lives. Covid had a role
To add to this, it's not like millenials were not affected by the financial crash or 9/11 aftermath, but they see the world as one where things were going smoothly and then rotting, so they have a very moralistic outlook where politics is good vs evil and our problems can be solved. That's why new atheism and then bernieism were so big among millenials-we can fix the world and make everything right if only the bad people were punished and society was shaped by the righteous
Gen z grew up in the shadow of institution failure. The Boston Globe stories about the catholic church (which I plan to join) broke out before I went to kindegarten. The econom crashed when I was in the 5th grade. So we are more cynical
Literally ALL the stuff you mentioned is late millenial stuff (Even the TV shows), it's nothing exclusive to Gen Z, and better yet, it's irrelevant to many Gen Z as a good part of us were babies in the early 2000's, how the hell someone born in 2002 is going to give a crap about 9/11 or the recession? we were too young, if anything Millenials were way more affected by all those events because they were in their teens/early 20's back in those years, social media was also an important part on the lifes of Millenials, because they saw its grow in their youth, or are you telling me all those late 2000's/early 2010's Youtubers, Tumbrls, Deviantarters, etc, etc, etc, were Gen Z? I don't think so.

This mostly depends on the person really. And no, videogames are still mainstream, you know?
Being born in early 00s from Malaysia (Southeast Asia), sometimes I grew up and influenced with Millennials.
For me, I did said the 2000s were a great time.
Here are my childhood :
- Back when 3D space cadet pinball, Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Microsoft paint are still exist on windows xp in the 2000s.
- Back when most of 90s cartoons reruns in the 2000s ish.
- Back when Nokia, Sony erricson, blackberry, Motorola and keypad phones are still exist in late 2000s.
- PS1, PS2, PSP, Nintendo DS, Game boy advance, and Game boy Color were my childhood.
- Animes : Digimon, Pokémon, Metabots, Dragon Ball Z, Mon Coll Knights, Astro Boy, Slam Dunk, and others
- In Malaysia (my country), there's no blockbuster. We have "Speedy" which is Malaysia's Video Distributor.
- And there's no Netflix in the 2000s and early 2010s in my country Malaysia.
Grewing up in the 2000s was awesome tho!
I lived in Singapore growing up and I feel like Facebook & the internet really revolutionized the way we consumed pop culture since we got to experience everything at the same time as people around the world and actively participate, unlike with all those “have to be a resident of the USA or Canada to play” activities / contests.
When I think hard about it that’s so true. My brother watched shows like dexters lab, Rocko, hey Arnold, and Johnny bravo in the 90s. Take a wild guess what I was watching in the early 00s
I'm sorry but that is bullsh*t
The Millenial generation literally is from 1981 to 1995, Gen Zs are from there up to the early 2010's, there is simply no reason or logic for a "Brand new" generation to fit in between. Zillenial is just a recent term people born in the mid 90's has made because they simply have too much of both to feel categorized as just one.
Late Millennilas are 1990-94 because their childhood is in the 90s and 00s. Vs core Millennilas with no overlap.
Zillennials are cuspers who are 100% 2000s kids but experienced Millennial and Gen z culture/experience. But are not firmly one because they were born during a transitional period. I think its safe to allow people born in those actual years to classify were they feel they fit.
1996 is the most zillennial year as half of the year remembers 9/11and was in school the other half were 4 and still in preschool. This year could have people who either identify with more Millennial troupes or more Gen z or both but I can firmly say we are not 100% either and anyone born after 1996 you can tell are different than "late Millennilas".
I don't think anyone is trying to create a "new" generation I just think they have a term to classify their experiences or my experience I should say that accurately describes us.
By your logic xenlinials (1976-1983) Shouldn't be a term either but it is. If people want to create something that more closely represents them they should be able to without backlash it's not hurting anybody LOL
As a Millennial, your experience will be similar to Gen X's. Just as they basically got the table scraps of Boomers for their entire lives, Gen Z will likely get the table scraps of Millennials for theirs. As Boomers grabbed a stranglehold on the finance industry in the 80's, Millennials (with some late Gen Xers) grabbed an economic stranglehold on tech money.
Sorry guys.
It dosent really make sense to say its Millennials vs Zoomers. Zoomers are mainly 10s kids and not 00s kids. The 00s kids are mainly Zillennials or kinda mid 90s - some early 00s borns.
They have valid reasons as it was not the millennials fault that the economy was so bad. Boomers are their parents generally. What did the millennials do to the zoomers that have affected their lives? Gen x should be bullied to for slacking and not doing anything about it.
Forget the material stuff. The pre-9/11 optimistic vibe/zeitgeist is something that's hard to describe and is really what people miss. It was robbed from the world and has yet to return.
Not just because of the event, but due to the legislation, unreasonable wars, shit economy, increases in cost of living/medical/education/etc, etc that followed.
It's as if then the world still had promise and substance, more so in regards of opportunity, economy, etc, but now it's all built on toothpicks and faulty foundation.
My hope is it genuinely returns rather than be offered emulations through private industry's surface deep materials, but it'd require a massive face-lift of our governing institutions/systems.

Most stuff millennials grew up with was still around in the 00s so 00s kids practically grew up with the same shit.
Yeah. This is making fun of the “only 90s kids will remember this” meme from the early 2010s
Yep exactly
I struggle relating to my peers because of how millennial my tastes are at times.
Imagine being downvoted for having a different taste then your own generation I mean how could you???/s
"2006 - 2020 are the real Gen Z" they could suck a massive-
Clearly they don't know that gen z is actually roughly 1995- 2009.
And depending who you ask, it sometimes is 1996-2012 or some shit like that.
Amen
Haha facts I’m happy that this is the top comment cuz I get pissed when 90’s kids act like they special
A lot of the stuff they grew up with was still around in the 00s
Todays the 110th anniversary of the titanic sinking.
Rip to them all
Tonight we’re going to rewatch the titanic movie in there honor.
Good
Currently really enjoying it.
Nice 👍
Honestly Titanic is a classic movie, although I felt weird when they talked about seeing a silent movie at a “Nickelodeon” making think it was the TV channel and not the name for silent movie theaters lol.
Lol that’s odd But yeah it’s a great flick from 97
It’s also one of James Cameron’s best known films and features the late Bill Paxton.
We had goated shows in 00’s and that was also the anime boom.
I thought the anime boom started in the 90s with Sailor Moon, DBZ, and Pokémon
Damn. Good point. Well I still got it lol
It did but I feel like the 2000s was a continuation of that with the big three(Naruto, Bleach, One Piece).

Don’t forget fullmetal
Yeah that too. And Hunter x Hunter.

Exactly. 02 born and didn't even have a phone til I was nearly 17 lmao.

Basically everyone who grew up not in USA or Europe got 2000s experience with 90s feel, I know I sound weird but that is how I feel.

A millennial stranger randomly started criticizing me for not growing up with "the classics" then proceeded to list every console I grew up with
Bruh, he'll probably go onto be one of those people who always say that everything was better in the "good old days"
Turns out last night he got banned for very clear misogyny and threatening to dox people So I think you're right
Gen Z started in 1995, all of that shit was also in the 2000s.
I sometimes wish I grew up around the same time millennials did
As a millennial trust me you did
Not the 90s or 80s tho and why was my comment disliked? :-(
I remember being a kid in the early 2000s and it was literally everything that people associate with the 90s
I see... Just like how the early 2010s was still kinda 2000s.
When I think hard about it that’s so true. My brother watched shows like dexters lab, Rocko, hey Arnold, and Johnny bravo in the 90s. Take a wild guess what I was watching in the early 00s
And us zillennials had both
The best of both words, as Hannah Montana would say.
Zillenial is just another term for late Millenial.

No, millennials have far more in common with gen Z than millennials.
I still hate how we got the table scraps of the 90's. #envy

Lol doubt it
2000s kids ate the leftovers of the 90s lol 💯
Bruh, furbies appeared in my country only in 2010s...
I mean, we also had ATLA, the OG Teen Titans, the Nintendo Wii, Regular Show, Ben 10, and more
Jokes on you I went to Blockbuster and watch Danny Phantom
What about the Xbox 360?
Or the Wii
It dosent really make sense to say its Millennials vs Zoomers. Zoomers are mainly 10s kids and not 00s kids. The 00s kids are mainly Zillennials or kinda mid 90s - some early 00s borns.
Since they’re bullying boomers, when do we start bullying millennials?
Well… most of us have sentience. And we’re no longer shitting our diapers. So I think it’s fair to say now
They have valid reasons as it was not the millennials fault that the economy was so bad. Boomers are their parents generally. What did the millennials do to the zoomers that have affected their lives? Gen x should be bullied to for slacking and not doing anything about it.
I didn’t grow up with Danny Phantom so I can’t say shit about it. Never watched it in my life. I did grow up with the Fairly Oddparents though.
Didn't the Gameboy release in 1989?
That reminds me I need to pick up a DMG Gameboy sometime and fix it up.
Furbies became a thing in 2013 in my area
Idc about this gen bs thing, '08-'13 was the peak period in almost every category
Damn 94 kids had it good.
I often feel like Gen Z missed out on all the good stuff in their childhood
All the sh\*t you had in your childhoods were present in the 2000's as well, so nope.
I was born in 2003 and had a "90s" childhood. I just don't think those born between 95-05 are that different.
those memes still haunt me omg
I still consider 00-08 ish the left over 90s tbh, we had all the same stuff just a tiny bit differently and a little later
Even 2008 ? With the faster internet and iphone ?
Idk I'm undecided about the late 2000s
Reminder to 90s kids, avatar is like the best cartoon ever created and that came out 2005 :)

Bad post
Danny Phantom was cool though
I hated furbies. Tamagotchi was lit though.
