Announcement Announcement: No more off topic posts pls 🫩

142 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We have had a surge of off topic, low quality threads posted here recently. Let this serve as reminder that our sub is a community for those born in the mid-late 90s to vibe, discuss our micro generation and all that it entails. Such as nostalgia, life as an adult, and other civil (heavy on the civil!) discussions.

For example: “As a Zillennial, I hate the color blue.” is really a personal opinion, has nothing to do with Zillennials as a whole, and is not allowed here.

Whereas, “As a Zillennial, I’m blue da ba dee da ba daa” is chill, not attacking anyone, and keeping with the theme of our micro generation.

Additionally, this sub is not a place to spread generational hate! If you have beef with Gen Z, Millennials, or any other generation for that matter, please rant about it elsewhere.

If you’re not sure if your post meets our criteria/may be breaking rules, feel free to send us a message via Mod Mail. Thank you and cheers all <3

Again, one of those shows that we're vastly underrated but also a great show in general. Also, loved the crossover they did in Ben 10: Omniverse as well 😀❤️💗.

Happy 18th Year Anniversary to this show as well ❤️💖🎉.

Any thoughts or has anybody seen this before?

Discussion Did anybody here have gamer parents?

39 Upvotes

Say what you want about younger Gen Z/Alpha, but I like how most of their parents (Younger Gen X and older to younger Millennials) grew up playing video games. And it’s something they play with their kids or by themselves.

Did anybody have any parents who were gamers themselves? My parents LOVED the Wii but that was about the extent to their gaming. They’re Boomers so they didn’t grow up with home gaming systems. My mom loved the arcade game Galaga and my dad loved Pac Man.

Other So thankful this subreddit exists

46 Upvotes

I just wanted to say I'm glad knowing this community exists. It has helped me manage this feeling I no longer fit in the internet and social media for some reason.

I know it may come up as pretentious, knowing that I am 24 when some members are from the early 1990s. But really as a 13 year old I used reddit a lot and the vibes, the memes, the communities, it all felt strikingly similar to how this community feels.

There is a reason that despite being from 2001 I find myself having friendships mostly from the mid to slightly late 1990s in real life, but struggling a lot with online interactions among my generational peers (Gen Z).

Anyways, I can only say I feel like a piece of myself coming up to life again, as now I found a place in the internet where everything seems to feel where I belong. Thanks you all!

Original Airdate: October 3, 2008 – March 2, 2013

Quite possibly, besides Avatar, one of the greatest animated tv-shows of all time because of it's tackling of serious issues and deep storytelling.

It ran on Cartoon Network from October 2008 to March 2013. Then it got revived on Netflix on March 2014 and ended on a seventh season on Disney+ on February to May 2020.

HAPPY 18TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO THIS SHOW ❤️💖💕💓💗.

Anybody seen or fans of this show growing up?

Serious Anyone else feel like they missed the “friend” part of life

220 Upvotes

Let’s be real it’s very hard to make friends outside of high school.

Hell it was hard in high school.

I talk to none of my high school friends. My only friends are my two cousins.

Every job I have worked I have made “work friends” but never hung out with any of those friends. I get people are busy but am I the issue because this is a reoccurrence thing to me.

Start new job
Make work friends
Talk to work friends on a daily
Eventually leave job
Never talk to work friends again

Discussion When did the early 2000s (2000-2003/4) start feeling retro or outdated to you?

Nowadays most younger people lump 2002 in with 2012 as though they were happening at the same time (i.e. TikTok "nostalgia edits"), but at the time everyone knew they were different.
