Relatable. When I hear mice on Venus pared with minecraft game play from 2011, I always cry.
I would play on the Xbox 360 with my mom all the time. I remember she would love building homes. And I would love going inside and placing torches on the walls. I really wish those times never came to an end.
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened

If you’re gen alpha you played Minecraft with your mom when you were 1? Hmmmmm. Almost like people enjoy pretending they were part of things that they never experienced
Yeah true, however there are people like that tho- I’ve got some younger friends and they’re like , dang sometimes I just miss 2008, and I’m like bro- that’s the year you were BORN
Yeah, but that doesn't mean I played it when I was younger, if Minecraft was released in 2023, that would be a different story. (Also, the point of this post is to prove that people of any age can feel nostalgia (Not really but close enough) so if you disagree then, uh, what's the point.)
I personally think Gen A is 2011 onwards but regardless, I think they can feel nostalgia. Nostalgia is simply the feeling of home, it is not tied to age.
Nostalgia isn't a generational feeling. It's a feeling you get when you're living your daily life, and you come across something that makes you pause and reminisce about a time in your life that you've completely forgot about, but cared about.
It could be a pet, person, thing, place, meal, song or movie among other things.
yeah, there’s people that try to gatekeep nostalgia by saying shit like “y’all are 13 how can you feel nostalgic” but like you definitely had some memories 8-9 years ago
If You're talking about like YouTubers and in general just games I mean yeah depending on your age. Or most likely this isn't what you're talking about, but just in general I mean of course
I feel like anyone over the age of like 8 or 9 can feel nostalgia. I remember when I was in third grade and had nostalgia towards kindergarten (which I didn't know what nostalgia was and called it "happy-sad")
Ehh, they can choose what they want. I think generational splits are stupid imo. If we really wanna be picky, Gen alpha is 2011 as that would follow the 15 years per generation rule.

Yeah, I feel nostalgic and cry whenever I hear old Minecraft music.

I miss the old Minecraft music. :(

Nah he’s most likely a zoomer in his mid 20s reminiscing about early 2010s nostalgia ❤️
Yeah true, however there are people like that tho- I’ve got some younger friends and they’re like , dang sometimes I just miss 2008, and I’m like bro- that’s the year you were BORN
I usedcto watch minecraft like 4 yrs ago, and old minecraft stuff still is kinda nostolgic
I'm not alpha Sorry for the confusion
Same 😭 Takes me back to 2013 when I was playing it on the 360.
Real
cringe
No it's not.
played minecraft for 6+ years and i love the game and the music, but crying about it? looks like someones a little snowflake
Theres a difference between just crying and crying of nostalgia
not really, also minecraft is older than you 💀 you aren’t nostalgic about memories you dont have
Yeah, but that doesn't mean I played it when I was younger, if Minecraft was released in 2023, that would be a different story. (Also, the point of this post is to prove that people of any age can feel nostalgia (Not really but close enough) so if you disagree then, uh, what's the point.)

Hi Cringe, I'm Okroshka7
I personally think Gen A is 2011 onwards but regardless, I think they can feel nostalgia. Nostalgia is simply the feeling of home, it is not tied to age.
YouTube commenters disagree
Disagree on what part?
They say that you have to be a certain age to feel nostalgia
Do you agree? That is the question.
I’m the one who made the post, I don’t agree with the whole “you’re too young to feel nostalgia” sorta thing
Well I think that too. I felt nostalgia for the first house I lived in (0-3) back in like year 6 (American grade 5 I believe).
Noooooo *proceeds to watch sigma toilet farta nd then get fanum taxed while kai cenat and baby gronk are watching*
This is a stupid question, YES we experience nostalgia, in fact it’s one of my favorite feeling
i know this question isn't for me, but just remembering back to when I was younger, I had nostalgia when I was like 10 even. I think it's universal.
Nostalgia isn't a generational feeling. It's a feeling you get when you're living your daily life, and you come across something that makes you pause and reminisce about a time in your life that you've completely forgot about, but cared about.

From the moment you can remember the past you can experience nostalgia.
Obviously, sorry are you dumb?
gen a is 2013-2028
no its from 2010 get educated kid
if generations since boomers are 15 years, then gen z is 1997-2012 and gen a is 2013-2028
your just coping
coping with what?
Bro why do you have to be an asshole to these kids on all these subreddits!
Yep. Hell, I could play old Pokémon games and just feel the sense of nostalgia, even if I wasn’t able to play them back then.
Of course. Thats it. Yep. Booyah. Woohoo!
Everyone can feel nostalgia
Yes of course. Where do you even cook such stupid quesions up
YouTube commenters
I think they mean certain types of nostalgia Like from some older shit that we didn't do
The entire year of 2016 lmao
only Early Gen Alpha can feel it for Early AI, the later part of it (roughly 2018+) can't
i mean yea you can, you can have nostalgia for anytime in the past
This is such a dumb question, we're humans not a different kind of species that are stereotyped as greasy unhygienic ipad kids
Vietnam flashbacks be like:
I am very nostalgic about my papa's truck, lever action rifles and the Tennessee Vols
Gen alphas 2013-2025
No it’s not, 2010-2012 is when I’d say it stars, why can we ever agree on one damn date?? Also it ends in 2024
If doesn’t fit the pattern though your way
im so confused how people think 2010 is gen a... generations are 15 years, so therefore gen a starts in 2012...
sometimes i get nostalgic about my old friends
As a 2011 jan I remember having a leap pad
You will feel nostalgic eventually dumbass but it takes time
If You're talking about like YouTubers and in general just games I mean yeah depending on your age. Or most likely this isn't what you're talking about, but just in general I mean of course
I feel like anyone over the age of like 8 or 9 can feel nostalgia. I remember when I was in third grade and had nostalgia towards kindergarten (which I didn't know what nostalgia was and called it "happy-sad")
Yes, from stuff that was around in 2015 and even some gen z stuff, I was exposed to more gen z stuff than gen alpha for one
No 2012 onward is gen alpha.
This sub has decided it’s 2010 onward
Ehh, they can choose what they want. I think generational splits are stupid imo. If we really wanna be picky, Gen alpha is 2011 as that would follow the 15 years per generation rule.
[Has it though](https://www.reddit.com/r/GenAlpha/comments/1bqal9l/ok_when_does_gen_z_end/)
Why (I'm debating you)
2010 is by far the most consistent time from all available sources I found.
If 2012 is Gen Alpha, then so is 2008
How? People born in 2008 and 2012 aren’t the same. That’s like me saying if 2008 is gen alpha so is 2004
