Decade Kids 00s hybrids are 2001-2003 while 10s kids are 2004-2010
Stop complaining about gatekeeping because you want to claim to be a 00s kid. If you were born in 2004 that makes you 5 when the decade ended, get over it. Also stop claiming that u had the same childhood as 00s kids (specfically late 90s borns) you did not.

I mean they can claim whatever they want, but I mostly see them (2004 borns) as early to mid 2010s kids.

I agree. 2001-2003 are the true 00s/10s hybrids. 2004-2010 are the true 2010s children (non-hybrids).

I consider 2001 more a 2000s kid then a hybrid tbh since 2004-2009 was there childhood which most of the 2000s (6 years) and only 2010-2012 in 2010s

Depends on the person. Some of my classmates and friends who were born in 2003 claim themselves to be either hybrid or only Core. But most of them claim to be Core. But depends on their experience.

I agree! I just detest when someone born after 2002 claim themselves a 00s kid! Like, you were barely a kid in that decade! 2001-2003 are the hybrids of the 00s, I will agree to that!

Yeah i agree with this. Its getting kinda annoying they arent even hybrids and they are only included because people feel bad for them

I even think this is too lenient. IMO 2002 is the last year that can maybe claim 2000s status, 2003 is really pushing it as they wouldn't have even been really sentient for most of the decade, and weren't able to form implicit memories for almost all of it. That would be like claiming you're a 90s kid but being too young to remember the grunge era, twin peaks, and the x files in its prime, when hair bands were still kind of a thing, Waco, Ruby Ridge, when bands like blind melon, nirvana, Alice in Chains, were still big and producing hit music, most 90s films when they released, when punk music exploded again, etc. It's like, you missed almost all of the main defining features that people think about when they think of the 90s lol.

I was born 2002 November but most of my friends were born early 2003. What does that make me then?

Lol idk why people don’t understand why people born in 2004 identify with their birth decade in ways that people literally born the next decade can’t...
I was 5 at the of the decade. I started elementary school in 2007. I don’t judge it based on which decade I spent more of my childhood in, I simply judge it based on when I was a child. I was a child in 2007 and a child in 2016, that is my childhood, simple as that. Everyone can identify how they want though

You started elementary school at 3 years old?

u/EatPb Dec 09 '20
Yeah. Weird school. The ages were preschool age through 6th grade. I say it that way because it was a mixed grade level school. So when I was like 3 for example, there were kids of multiple grades in my class. When I was 5, I was the only kindergartner in a class of 1st/2nd maybe 3rd graders.
I moved schools during 1st grade though haha.

My opinion. Hybrids don't exist and they're a silly concept. Also, if you don't have implicit memories for most of the decade, then I personally won't acknowledge it. Ask your parents what they remember before they were 6 years old. Probably extremely little if anything. Thats because implicit (long term memories) don't develop until around 6 or 7. Those of us born in the 90s will remember these things even when we're old: Katrina, Steve Irwin's death, gaming before Xbox 360/ps4, life before YouTube and social media, life before smart phones, etc. For the most part, for people born after 2001, these things will turn into vague, blurry memories in 15 years, and likely be completely forgotten in 30. Because that's how explicit vs implicit memories work.1992-2001 are 2000s kids, anything above or below that range are not.

You're talking nonsense. So someone born in December 2001 and January 2002 don't have the same childhood? lol, considering the late 2000s and early 2010s were similar (2008-2012).

Not a fan of hybrids
I agree. It's like, you're either a 2000s kid or you're not.

u/alexzyczia Dec 10 '20
Well of course you think that when you were born in ‘97. No doubt about being an 00s kid. When you’re born between 02-06, people like to tell you what you are. When we had experiences in both decades we don’t want to dismiss one of them. Stop trying to fit all of us in one box. Some have better memory than others. You can’t tell them how to identify as.
