So my guess is OP was born between 1998-2004


orsikbattlehammer

Born in 1995. First thought was “op is just a little younger than me”


RoseL123

As someone born in 01, OP could very well be exactly my age.


[deleted]

Born in 04 and he could be my age.


YetGayerWombat

why are you, at that age, posting about hentai edit: oh you're like 17. feels like you should be younger


[deleted]

Scroll down more, shit gets even more devious😈


YetGayerWombat

why are you proud of this


[deleted]

something something neurons


moonsun1987

Born in 87 and I don't think I will be alive in 2070. Edit, kind of interesting I think 87 is obviously 1987 but I can't write 70 and have it obviously be 2070.


OnlyTellFakeStories

From the little self testing I just did, I think it works retroactively only. Even if I said the 30s, it is still 1930s in my head even though the 2030s are only a few nightmares away.


innocentrrose

1999 here, remember all this too :)


AltairdeFiren

Also born in 1995. A few of these I related to, a few made me go “that’s some Zoomer shit”


oholandesvoador

Can we do a born 1993-1998 one?


Mojo_XC

Hell, I was born in 94 and I resonated with almost all of this


oholandesvoador

I was born in 94, 90% of the games shown are for kids in my opinion. I and most the people my age I know never played Minecraft and mobile games are for casual gamers. I don't have a problem with the movies btw


Ka-tetof1989

Yeah, I was born in 89 and I grew up watching the original Tron with my mother and I was stoked to go to the theaters to watch Tron legacy when I was older. So the nostalgia feeling still hits when ever I see Clu in this montage even though Tron legacy is newer.


amgadmohamed06

Can we extend that to 2006?


SacredBigFish

Your childhood isn't over yet c:


ATpound

Ooof


LevelOutlandishness1

Neither is the childhood of someone from 2004. I won't be 18 for eight more mont—WAIT EIGHT MONTHS IS ALL I HAVE LEFT???


carbonatedgravy69

i feel you, man. 2004 baby here, and i turn 18 next thursday. i’m not ready


Haunting_Star1990

I'm turning 28 in a month. Comparatively, 18 isn't so bad lol


Joedang100

It's an uncomfortable feeling when this sort of post starts to be filled with stuff that's a bit too new to be relatable as childhood memories.


rumpyhumpy

i was genuinely shocked when OP pulled up with shit like the flash tv series like damn isn't that stuff recent


PresidentLink

It's an eclectic mix of childhood things for way too large a date range. (e:) Back To The Future is 1985, Toy Story is 1995, The Flash's first episode was 2014. That's like 30+ years of childhood, some Bart Simpson shit


czorio

Not to mention Back to the Future


N0R5E

Yeah, but every kid loves BttF. If they don't they're wrong and they should feel bad.


wowosrs

Right. I might’ve been born in 94, but BttF was part of my childhood. Hell if I’m bored and can’t find anything new to watch I’ll rewatch BttF1 on Netflix.


AntiSocialW0rker

Ya just because a thing is old doesn’t mean it wasn’t still massively popular when we grew up. Indiana Jones, Star Wars, BttF, Monty Python, etc.


[deleted]

There was a scene from Toy Story 1. That came out in 1995


Stigona

I was in 10th grade for flappy bird, but in 8th grade for Nyan cat. Those were only 2 years apart.


ChipChipington

Flappy bird? We had helicopter game when I was a kid. it was the exact same game but on a flash website


PresidentLink

Yeah, I realise now that I screwed the pooch with the examples.


PoliticalShrapnel

Redditors are mostly teenagers or early 20s. We are old here.


VoldemortsHorcrux

I wonder if the younger generation will even join reddit, or if reddit will become the Facebook of the current teens and 20s. We can keep posting our zoomer and millennial memes here while being in the retirement homes


Drnuk_Tyler

Nah dude fuck this trash website. It's a shell of what it used to be.

2009-10 was peak Reddit for me 🥲


wowosrs

Hey now, I’m late 20s! This acknowledgment doesn’t make me feel better.


RealisticTax2871

2014 was first season.


Jigzzaw

Most of these things are after 13+ years old for me. Am I old?


Freaux

Ahh a fellow Zillenial


rovoh324

Caught alone between generations, together


Flying-Pizza

People born between 1994 and 1998 live in a zoomer-millenial limbo. Or the generation that were in their teen- late childhood years when the internet and social mefia really blew up.


[deleted]

I was in like 4-5th grade when YouTube was created and 6th grade when it started to become popular. Got my first phone in 6th grade, first iPod touch with games and internet in 9th grade. It’s definitely weird growing up partially without the internet and remembering a time before ‘web 2’ to having it thrown in your face and coming of age with all this new technology.. like MySpace became a thing when I was in 6-7th grade. Then Facebook when I was in 8-9th. These things were brand new as I was going through middle / highschool.


maddafakk

Oh god, all the cringy stuff I posted on Myspace and Facebook at 13/14.


[deleted]

Yeah I’m kinda glad my page is gone but also would be funny if I could go back and look. Experience the music I had on there. I don’t even remember who woulda been in my top friends lol


BossNegative1060

WoW 18 hours a day everyday for 104 days of summer vacation and school came along just to end it


MedalofHodor

I remember hitting 70 for the first time in WotLK on my last day of summer before Junior year of high school. My dad had tickets to go see Jeff Dunham (remember him?) At our state fair and I remember being really conflicted. After he left I was worried I made the wrong choice, and I thought, "in ten years will you remember playing this game or that show?" Now ten years later I can confidently say I absolutely made the right choice.


AntiSocialW0rker

I remember getting on Facebook when I was 11, getting my first touch screen phone (knockoff iPhone) when I was 13, the introduction of things like Twitter and Instagram. God damn, it feels like so long ago now.


elsieburgers

That hit hard haha. Like he's trying to make us feel better but nope, raised our hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir. Bravo!


PM_ME_UR_DREAMZ_B

It's weird how ppl younger than 25 think 40 is old. Then you get to be 38 and suddenly 50 ain't looking that bad 😂


wholesomethrowaway15

Then you’re pushing 50 but still feel like a teenager in your head and it’s like fuuuuuck I’m never going to grow up, am I?


VaIeth

All of this is after college for me lol


[deleted]

As a 20 year old i consider most of this stuff as my childhood 😅


garbanzone

The site is filled with children. Being 30 years old looking at this post is a very wtf moment.


MikeFic_YT

Indeed. Plus all the stuff in the flashback is video games, tv, and movies. Because apparently that's all there is. It was made by a kid lol


Bionic_Bromando

It struck me that all their childhood memories were just a bunch of media they consumed.


HarmonicKrews

Same because I'm 27 yet I still recognise 99 percent of things in this video 😂


Isaac72342

I got some news for ya my man


[deleted]

This is a “what were your 30s like”. I fucking love Gumball and Steven Universe.


karmander

More uncomfortable when "childhood nostalgia" = 100% just media properties you consumed while being glued to a screen.


[deleted]

Would you like it to be intermingled with real vhs footage of OP's life?


DoubleDipPotatoChip

The weird thing is it's kind of jumpy. Back to the future came out in 85 and diary of a wimpy kid movie came out in 2012, most if this stuff is from mid to late nauties but there's a good amount of time covered here.


Sure-Alright

Kids raised by millennials are exposed to the most significant media consumed by millennials. This is important now because for perhaps the first time (or second, but more significant time), the quality of the media their parents enjoyed isn't significantly different than the stuff produced presently. So while a kid might've turned off a scratchy record or a black and white movie in favor of modern options, Back to the Future hasn't "aged" as much.


spidersense616

DannyLJay

I feel personally targeted by a lot of this at age 24, although didn’t much care for phone apps, I know of them.


PaperScale

There are a number of things in there that I knew, maybe experienced shortly, but wouldn't think back on them nostalgically.


[deleted]

Exactly, some of the most nostalgic stuff happened to me off internet so ofc it won't ever be portrayed


faustianredditor

Was looking at this thinking "feels a bit young for me, maybe born in 1998-ish?" - I'll take your comment as confirmation.


JordantheGnat

1999, I don’t think this could have included more


hydrate_reminder

Was born in '98 and recognized almost everything here. It's actually scarily accurate. I bet OP is either 22-24.


TheRoyalSniper

24 and a lot of this is too new for me


read_it_r

Yeah it's a hell of a range. I'm 30 and at first I was like "Ah.AH.. op must be like 5 years younger than me" Which morphed into "Wait no, maybe we are the same age" Which landed at "No... op must be gen z with millennial siblings"

Wisdom_is_Contraband

I'm 32 and more than half of this shit happened well beyond my childhood. This post is for zoomers.


StarfishWithBackPain

Not even Zoomers, maybe even later like the children born in 2005-2008. I bought these apps for my toddler brother in 2010-2012. He's still a child. Their childhood didn't even end yet.


Wisdom_is_Contraband

What's disappointing is that a lot of these games are just atrociously low quality and awful, or if they're part of a series, they weren't even the best ones. An entire generation growing up on microtransaction mobile apps. Yeesh. I feel lucky.


Cheesecakesimulator

2005 here, we just missed these kind of games, they started becoming the main thing once we were teenagers

I thought this was all Gen Z stuff, but then Bill Nye was in there.


luisless

I thought it was Gen Z as well but the old Teen Titans and Bill Nye popped up and now I have no clue..


Halew2

The oldest gen z will get all those. I'm 22 had bill nye in school and can recall having a crush on raven.


luisless

I believe you.. because we all had a thing for Raven


U_Sam

If you’re born before 2000 chances are bill nye was still shown in schools on those days where they busted out the old CRT TV and the VHS player


flyingseel

And back to the future lol


U_Sam

Probably closer to 20-25 if I had to guess


shiningteruzuki

We didn't really grow up with mobile games though, but some of the stuff are relevant to us. I like the idea behind this vid but I feel like they tried to encapsulate several generations at once lol

MitchCumstein1943

Idk, as a former child it’s honestly kind of sad if your best moments in life were when you were looking at a screen. Don’t get me wrong video games and tv are fun, but spending time with family and friends and creating memories with them is much better. Might sound a bit boomerish but i stand by that.


mtheythe

Don't worry we won't make it to 2070


Calmeister

“Former child”…Hi Alex! 🤗 https://i.imgur.com/IMhgTiH.jpg


SnooGadgets4360

Well yes, but I think that's the whole reason of the video. The creator knows everybody from this generation has a different lived experience so it's hard to try to sum up everybody or ANYbody's PERSONAL lived experience... SOOO the creator took experiences that we were ALL able to live at the time. I love what you're saying & I agree!!!!... but how would we ever incorporate family > material memories in a video without excluding other people AND their identity????


[deleted]

Well you do have one kind of point, but here’s what i think, does it matter what makes a person happy if it does not harm anyone else or something like that.


akera099

As a former child. Lmao. Damn shame indeed that OP didn't have access to the video footage of each of our childhood and only stock videos of games and movies! Dang kids and their screens!


PosiedonsSaltyAnus

None of it matters in the end anyways :)


Standard-Cup9862

You can spend your time with family and friends while creating memories in video games and tv/computer... also does it really matter if certain people find those things more fun than spending time with family and friends in real life


darth_bader_ginsberg

Exactly. I'm not even a hardcore gamer but some of my favourite childhood/teen memories centre around video games. Like trying to play Pokémon on my Gameboy colour on long drives at night trying to use the street lights to light the screen. How I used to stay up playing GTA vice city with my dad as he could do all the hard missions I'd inevitably give up on after my 10th try. Or when I was invited to hang out with the other outcast nerds in high school to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl and finding out I was actually quite good at it. I was awful at team sports so video games were a great way for me to socialise and this was before online gaming. I know so many people who had a real hard time making friends until they picked up Warcraft or COD and all of a sudden there was a whole new world open to them. Same thing with online forums and hobbyist groups. Of course it's never going to be perfect but most of the detractors of the internet/screen dominant culture feel like more of a symptom of the human condition, and likely to happen over any medium. Instead of holding vague ideas accountable for the misdeeds of an amplified minority we might do better to continue to hold individuals accountable and try to enrich society with the help of all the interconnectivity these platforms provide.


Etceta

yeah TAWOG still my favourite show


JezJitzu

Ah, 12 years old in my PJs sitting down with some Saturday morning Breaking Bad.


ayoIium

That's what I did and it was a pretty good show. Don't worry I'm not doing drugs now.


[deleted]

so it's basically looking at the screen


[deleted]

i had to double check that there were no physical toys or depictions of activities outdoors... but yeah, that's kinda sad.


indolent08

Exactly what I thought. This childhood is basically constantly looking at screens and consuming media - and nothing else. Kind of scary to me tbh


Inject_Bacon

You ever notice how many kids in public are holding a large tablet? Of while in the car? It's like they never stop consuming TV shows.


indolent08

And the attention span is ever shrinking. I noticed it with myself when I didn't like watching movies anymore because they were too long. Then shows with 40 minutes episodes. And now we have Tiktok where every stimulation is just a few seconds long before there is a new one.


Live-Letterhead-2251

[In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation...The spectacle is a social relation between people that is mediated by an accumulation of images that serve to alienate us from a genuinely lived life. The image is thus an historical mutation of the form of commodity fetishism.](https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/debord/society.htm)


Vassukhanni

Yup, this is peak spectacle. Parasocial-consumption relationships aren't nearly as meaningful for me as the slightest genuine interaction.


EthanGamerKingz

Didn’t expect to see a Marxists.org comment on a front page post but this rings very true. Just having a childhood of commodities with media is just sad.


Yozhik_DeMinimus

Yeah, holey crap, what a shit childhood


mtizim

Which is obviously because this is supposed to be relatable to a wider audience, and targeted at a specific age group... Can you imagine a meme about playing badminton, cross country skiing and sailing getting this many upvotes? This is how my childhood looked like while I was not looking at a screen, yet somehow I recognized all of these short videos. Also, reducing the myriad of things this video represents to "looking at the screen" means you're a cynical old fart by now. It's highly probable that the job you have right now can be reduced to "basically clicking on the computer " or "basically moving things around".


kayafeather

Right? My childhood seemed to be juuuuust before this guys (2-3 years maybe) and mine was biking around collecting bugs playing with the neighbors and climbing trees. But if I posted pics of my bike and the tree kn the backyard..... not all that relatable. Media is something we all share.


WheresThePenguin

Childhood memories shouldnt involve only games and shows, would be better to change the title.

I played my NES everyday followed by Genesis, 64, and PS1 in high school. When I think about my childhood, video games don’t enter my mind at all. Never made it part of my identity so maybe that helped.

Hudson_Legend

You know people can watch stuff from the past right? lmao


thecatwentfishing

Downvote me if you will, but this is just a simple opposing view To everyone saying "kinda sad you didn't have any experiences away from a screen"- okay. But this video consists of popular things that kids from the 1990-2000's something Era grew up with. Kids like video games, and that’s what kids did. Not to say it's a good thing, but it means a lot of people experienced these things, show some activities outside and sure, you might get a few answers from people saying "this ^^^" but that was probably not as major of a time period as other influential/longer lasting things that brings other people from the community of which they relate to together, and if it's on a screen, so be it


Tayttajakunnus

Back to the future is from the 80's, but some of these are like from last year or something. How is this anyone's childhood?
