See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

people act like they were weird kids for being really into toys that didn’t fit their gender role or being really into being pop-punk or goth, but like I straight up used to read books on Irish Nationalism or the deterioration of Detroit infrastructure. I had a ‘damien hurst phase’. this was at like 10-13 too. so like yes you were weird but also at least it’s a relatable weird.

#i read a post once that described 90s kids as the generation of nostalgia #because so much technological advancement happened in such a rapid timeframe when we were growing up #that we can clearly remember having technologies that are now obsolete #like going from a corded hugeass phone to a small computer in your pocket just within our formative years is a major thing #and it sparks a nostalgia for our seemly ‘simpler’ childhoods #because so much rapid development makes it seem like it was a lot longer ago than it actually was (x)

This is the most solid explanation of our decade I have ever heard.

Just to add onto that, our childhood wasn’t even technology based. We grew up knowing of chalk, skateboards, jump rope, street hockey, playgrounds, butterfly collecting, etc. Slowly technology took over our lives and now there are hardly kids playing outside in the summer. We can clearly remember our childhood as it was and now we can see the clear line between it. We were the generation right smack in the middle of it all. Our parents were of non-tech and our children/young siblings will be all tech.

Not to mention, ours was the last generation that grew up with all those bright promises of “work hard, go to college, and you’ll have a successful life,” only to find those hopes abruptly dashed when the housing bubble burst. Milliennials have grown up expecting that disappointment, because for them, the problem has been there since Day One.

So 90s kids aren’t just nostalgic…we’re BITTER. And we ache for those days when we could still think that the world was boundless and full of the opportunities we were promised since the first day of kindergarten.

Every time someone adds to this i have to reblog.

No to mention, every attempt made to try to recreate the things in our childhood gets ruined. The crappy remakes are just a reminder of how good it really was in the past. Kids today only see and are enjoying the shitty versions of our happy moments.

I kept thinking I was the only one feeling like this. I thought it was just me who was too naive. I’m so happy I found this post!
