Those born in 2000-2004 got the perfect mix of old-school and modern. It's the greatest generation of all time.
>>24035559>I am the greatest generation because of how much I was able to enjoy myself and what I “got”Checks out kek
>>240355592000s kid here, would fucking kill for that feeling of late 2000s summer vacation, playing swords and Sandals 2 with my brown cousin and always dying on the 3rd bossOr replaying assassin's Creed 1 on the 360 for the 4th time
>>24035559MAXXCOMFYnot all Finns
Peak childhood is 1988-1993
>>24035559Those born in December 1999, however... It was over for them before it even started. F in the chat
>>24035559Yeah, but on the other hand they never got to experience what it felt like to live in a white society.
>>24035561>swords and Sandals 2GLA DIATOR!
>>24035566Gladiator gladiator gladiator
>>24035559I would agree as in 1985-1990. Before us other than my grandpas generation were spineless, that come after us are spineless and brainrotted. We need another virus to purge this earth from the vermin.
>>24035559>2016 was old school
>>24035559>2004>could have had a ps4 and an iphone 6 before turning 10What a braindead claim
>>24035559Not remotely. In 2010 I got ‘cancelled’ by everyone in college for using down syndrome as an insult. Things were already getting shit by then. By 2014 certainly the modern dynamic was well in place.
>>24035559>no GTA>no TES>no CoDwasteful
>>24035559ok babby don't forget to let mommy know when I finish fucking you in the ass in D2 because it's almost time for your bed
>>24035572We had GTA , we had oblivion and Skyrim, and who cares about cod?
>>24035559You mean early 1990s.
>>24035559if you never experience half life the year it came out you have no idea how gaming crack feels like
>>24035567
>>24035559Lol no you're a fucking zoomer, retard, and your childhood was miserable like every zoomerStop larping as a 90's kid
>>24035559Having your 20s in 2020s
Not really. I was already nearly 30 by that time and the best years were behind me
>>24035559Back when games were sold as actual games, with manuals, installation discs and bonus items like posters was the norm.2004 is when it all when to shit, Half life 2 was released and was the first game forcing people to use Gabes spyware. Now you literally dont own shit, only a license to rent the game that can be revoked at any time for any reason.
>>24035576It was good, I remember being a tiny retarded and clapping when my dad played it>>24035577The 2nd one was so fucking kino , the 3rd was good but the robot bullshit kinda destroyed it, and the 4th with the cube game was just okay
>>24035576They gave us od dose of fentanly we are all hooked forever. I remember lan party plans to play it multiplayer. renting gaming rooms for birthdays. Starcraft and warcraft also.
>>24035559>Being 4-8 years old when smartphones and Normiebook came out Grim.Early 90’s kids & late 80’s kids got a true experience. No social media or smartphones until late teenagers. Grew up with playing outside or playing CS 1.6 & WC3 on computer.
>>24035559For me it’s the late 90’s. You grow up seeing the end of millennial culture and get thrown into high school at the start of Gen Z culture
>>24035559that computer is from before that time you fucking idiotif you were 10 years old that computer hardly even still existed and maybe you had a macbook go fuck yourself
>>24035559disagree, born in 1990-1993 was the best period. a childhood with minimal internet and teenage years with internet, but without normies and social media.
>>24035559>born in 2000-2004That's literally the worst, you became a teenager after vidya started it's death spiral and completely missed out on the golden age of internet before the third world and normies invaded it. Ideal is being born in late 80s or early 90s
>>24035581They don't own shit + are too stupid to pirate. They'd rather pay for Netflix, Disney and Hulu than searching for a torrent>>24035583We still play WC3:FT, once in a year or so
>>24035559>2000-2004It was nice being a kid at that time. If you were a baby, you missed the best part. Being born around 1990 would be best.
>>24035559> 2000-2004ZoomZoom what the fuck are you talking about? More like 1985-1995
>>24035559LCD monitors were ubiquitous by 2006.>>24035570Access to social media and a personal tether via a smartphone is the true generational dividing line between those who experienced life in the previous era and those who didn’t. It doesn’t matter if someone personally had a smartphone. It changed the society they grew up in. It’s why calling people born in the early 80’s “millennials” doesn’t quit fit. Millennials were the first generation to have social media access, never ending pornography, and smart phones in their formative years. These three things drastically changed society, and if you were born after ~1988 you were still a prepubescent child when that society existed. I was born in 1981. I had graduated college and was living on my own before Facebook existed, before the word “smartphone” was a thing, and before everyone was addicted to porn. Demographers and retards will still tell you I’m a millennial. Pic related: internet “dating” was for losers and weirdos.
>>24035591If you were born in 1995 it was rather unlikely or not very smart to own this.
>>24035593I was born in 1989. Back in the 90s, everyone experience 1980s culture and products because people kept things. we didn't trash all the old shit like people do now. every kid born in the 90s likely had a massive container of 80s vhs tapes they would drag out from under the bed. things also didn't break easily.
>>24035559I think thats a bit late. I was around 12 when facebook and smartphones got big, and that was when the world started going to shit. I'm not saying that was the only reason, but it was a major contributing factor.
>>24035559You didn't get a mix of anything but iphone globohomo you stupid fucking zoomer.
>>24035559perfect age to be stretched out & spit roast by Epstein & bubba you little faggot
>>24035559How dumb are you, turbo nigger? Kids born within that time period would not experience that type of technology. From 2002-2012, technology progressed infinitely.
also, despite being poor white trash the 90s were still great. you had to be literally abused or some shit to suffer, because life didn't revolve around being able to afford a $1000 smartphone or expensive haircut and clothes. your parent could afford the newest gaming console if they saved their McDonalds paycheck enough by Christmas.
I for one believe we can go back. We just have to change our surroundings. Our reality is defined by how we perceive it. If you're fond of the 90s and 2000s and want to go back, then just only consume things from those eras. Only watch older tv and movies, play older games, stop using smartphones, get off of social media, stop paying attention to internet drama e-celeb bullshit. You get the picture.
Born too late to enjoy peak 80s-90s consumerism and the subcultures of the 2000s-early 2010s, too early to completely come of age in clownworld and not know any different, just in time to remember when the promises of the end of history were taken away from us… we’re the middle children of history, man :/> t. born 1995
1. Everyone agrees that internet cellphones and computers in childhood is bad 2. Why is that shit still legal
>>24035602Its funny that everyone bitches about it yet no parents are doing anything about itActually you can say that about everything nowadaysJust grifting lip service doomerism to get money from NordVPN ads
>>24035559i dunno i was born in 1995 and i missed out a bitmy child hood was fun and middle school/hs was fun cuz of video gamesid rather not be born god is a fucking kikelike who the fuck thinks this shithole existance is of any worth
>>24035603>Just grifting lip service doomerism to get money from NordVPN adsNordVPN has been an absolute necessity for years now.
>>24035559>It's the greatest generation of all time.looks like you've got baby duck syndrom, merelymany such cases, tbf
>>24035559I was born in '98 so I got the same experience. It was fun, Windows XP was a good OS and 2007 Runescape was lit.
>>24035559Haha, yeah, but your thread is off-topic. Go be nostalgic for Windows XP somewhere else.
>>24035603lots of kids are homeschooled now and get limited screentime. granted, that's more realistic for families that have money, but it's very common. a large percentage of kids are homeschooled in the US now. it's not considered rare or strange anymore. I have family members who are pushing 10 and have never had a phone, have limited moitored tablet time that is ONLY for learning or watching non-cocomelon brainrot type youtube content, and are enrolled in sports so they meet other kids and play outside.
>>24035559>The Ipad generation is trying to pretend to be a 90's kidThe 90's really was the peak.
Nostalgia isn't a bad thing. Why fight it? Do you really want to participate in a modern consumerist culture society? Everything new is shit that appeals to funko pop collecting redditors and retarded women. Games are being remade for "modern audiences" which means tourists. Modern anime has shitty animation, and it's made to appeal to tiktok editors. The most popular video games are Fortnite and gachashit. Come back to the 2000s anons. Make your room look like pic-related. Only watch 2000s media. Only play 2000s games. You're not missing out on anything in the modern era, but there was probably a ton of things you missed out on in the past. Probably enough to keep you occupied for life.
>>24035559I'd say that around 90s was peak. Prime age for every pioneering console from the Sega Megadrive onwards, prime age for pokemon cards, prime age for Gameboy Colour, got to experience the early whites-only internet, smartphones didn't appear until mid-late high school. But the goods times are over with only nostalgia to show for it.
>>24035611Nah you have to live with your time too>t. 30yo late millenial who just bought a PS Vita and jailbroke it to play all the games that ever existed on PSP and PS Vita because he couldn't back then
>>24035613We all have to face our mortality. However why do it with an ever-changing environment? If I reach dying senile age, I'd at least want to be surrounded with my nostalgia and die with a good memory.
>>24035559I was born in 1983. I got to live life without the internet, and was at the perfect age to enjoy it all, and then the internet.Sometimes I think if reincarnation exists, that I got to pick my life. Growing up in the 80'-90's was the best ever.And by 2001 when 911 happened I was hitting university and had critical thinking.
All you need is your own digital media server with older television and movies. Download older game emulators. For online games go look for a private server of an old MMO. What more do you need?
>>24035559lmao what a zoomzoom take, if you were born in 2000+ you never once experienced being alone without having a cell phone with you at all times
>>24035614I get it, I love being nostalgic myself but locking yourself into a time capsule isolated from the rest of the World isn't very sane either and you will miss a lot of cool things even if I hate this gay era
>>24035581I still have my .ax Payne mousepad mad and all my games and manuals. So nostalgic. And 200 Nintendo Powers.Playing emulators is the perfect way to re re experience it all.I remember playing Diablo till 6am when I was 14. And the birds woke up and started chirping. Best memories.
>>24035587as a 93fag i always wished i'd been born earlier. as soon as i was old enough to start participating in society we got 9/11 and the eternal niggerfication of everything good and normal. felt like i got here just as the party was ending. at least we got some good vidya though.
we need to go back
>>24035618You can be a man in Time, a man above Time, or a man against Time. Choose your path wisely> t. old Pajeet wisdom
>>24035569
>>24035618>isn't very saneYeah but look what's counted as "normal" these days. Do you think that will change any time soon? And for the better or worse? Changing your perception of reality to reflect the past is more sane than anything in this modern clown world.
>>24035594I watched top gun so much during my elementary school days the film in the VHS tape tore
>>24035625also had a cool f117 model my dad bought me, these are things that remind me of my childhood in the 90s
>>24035624We millenials and gen Xers have to influence our current gay times with what we've received during our childhood and not watch the world burns from our hermites nostalgia bunkers
>>24035626he also took me to airshows, I remember getting to sit inside the apache, is a core childhood memory
>>24035560
>>24035628played the shit out of desert strike on sega, this pilot you could find and save on the right side of the map, very edge of it
>>24035559You mean those born a decade before. 1992 here and my childhood gaming experience was kino.
>>24035630played it on snes, great game
Honestly I love that I dont have to wait like 5-10 minutes for my pc to boot and launch a game thoOr listen to loud ass fans
Shut the fuck up zoomer scum. You’re officially the most retarded and mentally ill generation in history
>>24035630soviet strike ps1 such a fuckin good game insanely hard but still super fun
>>24035633old OS'S in virtual machines do nearly everything instantaneously
The last cutoff point is around 1993, though I'd say 1990 is probably closer to reality.If you were born in let's say 1995, that's already a completely different world you grew up in. The 5 year window in that era is such a radical difference it's not even comparable, technologically or culturally.It's a difference between seeing the Mobira Cityman brick still in use and growing up with phones that already had color screens.It's also an entirely different world getting wasted with your friends in 2005 compared to 2010 let alone 2015. Even the demographics aren't the same you'd see on your night out.If you want to talk about gaming the difference is probably the biggest. Being a teenager during the early 00's and experiencing the golden era of gaming was absolutely amazing.
>>24035633>5-10 minuteszoomzoooommzoooommmm
>>24035559>I grew up in the best generation >No me! >NO! ME!
>>24035559things were already going downhill by 2005-2007 buddy. you missed the golden age
>>24035637>my brother mike 2 months in the future
>>24035622Devi wasn't Indian she just lived there.
>>24035559if you were born in that time you weren't experiencing it retard
>>24035842This. Kids aren't the brightest these days...
>>24035616you have good taste in vidya my friend
>>24035559Haha no. If you were born in 2004 you would have no memory of the analog world as compared to someone like me born in early 1996 as the last of the millenials. PS3 and 360 would be what you grew up on or maybe a PS2. I had N64, PS1, Atari 5200 and sega genesis to kick things off along with a few PC games as well. I also can remember 2005 and being so hyped for Star wars Empire at war and battlefront 2 and both ended up being absolutely kino games. I couldn't get enough of the space battles on empire at war.
>>24035559not really
>>24035581comfyi still have sc2 and some wow expansion boxes in the garage somewhere.
>>24036128>the analog world>continues to name nothing but consoles (= digital entertainment)Nigger my childhood screen was an Etch-a-Sketcht. 1982
