you are a zoomer if you missed pokemania. if you weren't 6+ years old in 1999 you are gen z.

why do zoomers constantly larp as 90s babies?
>>
>>85724525
Idk but it's pathetic. I guess they want to seem older. They look older too.
Why is gen z aging so badly? I am getting close to 40 and I still get carded, while my zoomer cousins never get asked anymore.

because the transition isn't a smooth cutoff and there's an overlap in cultural exposure between different generational groups

there's sort of "zillennials" who were born in that threshold who kinda relate to both groups. imo the cutoff for zillenial is being generation z but being born before 9/11
>>
>>85724525
I have zero idea what you are talking about,,,
you probably just have a superiority mindset so you are obsessed gen z youth interested in the 90s because it makes you feel better
>>
>>85724551
I see videos every day of you zoomers larping as millenials. acting like you were there because you were 2 years old.
>>
there he goes again, come on
>>
>>85724582
thats ur algorithm that sees every online action you take so it knows that is what you are interested in and almost what you think so it picks what you like and blows it out of proporiotn
,,,,
I never see anything like that so its probably (You) that is causing it
>>
>>85724525
I was born in 1991 and I didn't give a shit about pokemon.
>>
>>85724596
its literally only zoomers who do it. they never shut up about shit they never experienced.

>Millennials grow up on gen x media
>Gen z gets offered millennial trannyslop remakes
I wonder why they are playing doom and listening to linkin park
>>
>>85724641
because they have absolutely zero culture to call their own
>>
>>85724525
i was born in 97 and liked pokemon. dunno what to tell you.
>>
>>85724661
what culture do u have?
ur prolly a loser ur life sucks and your coping pretending that this whole millenial vs zoomer shit is a big deal so you can have something to occupy ur low iq mind with when ur just rotting and making no impact on anything
>>
>>85724661
How was that wolverine game?
>>
pokemania sucked because pokemon peaked in 4th gen. the first two gens were obviously inorganic in their popularity.
>>
>>85724678
my life is absolutely awful but I got to experience the good times instead of larping about it
>>
>>85724728
>My life sucks but at least 1% of a small subculture of zoomers are playing the video games i played as a kid
Idk how that helps you cope in life but ok ig
>>
>>85724756
it's just a very good benchmark

clearly it was good since you all think about it every day
>>
>>85724844
ngl i dont ever think about zoomer/millenial unless i use this website, i dont care that you lived in the 90s good for u ig i liked the 2010s better
...
..
tb h tho i feel bad for you you are trying mentally to establish urself as superior in something that nobody cares about except fringe internet users nobody talks about this if you live in reality
>>
I was born in 1991, not only did i experience pokemania, but also wwe attitude era, rise of 3d gaming, back when gaming was a teen boy hobby, and the rise of extreme sports, i remeber when tony hawk did the 900 dang nabbit.

yup, late 90s and early 2000s was kino to be a young lad.

Nowadays they dont even market to young men anymore, i wonder what happened
>>
>>85724679
Didnt that game have gay shit in it? Why does every millennial game contain gay shit?
>>
>>85724869
how could they? it takes 8 years to make a game now. that's your WHOLE childhood.
>>
>>85724543
>zillennials
me
tfw late 93 birth, idc if it's a cope to say I'm zillennial it's just what I feel most accurately encapsulates my experience
I don't remember 9/11, and I feel like that's sort of the generation defining moment of millennials

you were 7 or 8 during 9/11 you're not gen z. you're in your 30s.
I was born shortly after 9/11, that's gen z. not that it's a particularly great thing but could be worse.

I'm in my mid 20s, and have some idea of why it's impossible to identify with my own childhood's entertainment products.
When you're talking about video games, or any other youthful interest, the 90s feel like the before times. Everybody recognizes this, regardless of age. The before times actually managed to hang on for a while after 9/11, but were quickly falling apart. By the late 2000s, it was all over, and the era we're still currently stuck in had permanently established itself.
Warm, soft, lovable design languages were killed off and replaced with glossy black plastic that's impossible to be fond of. Life still feels like that now, a hyper-real nothingburger. It got worse as time went on, but it's still the same idea. It's impossible to feel nostalgic for the beginning of the end, which happens to be when I came of age.
2010 doesn't exactly register as a comfy thought of a more innocent time, instead it feels foreboding. Feeling nostalgic for a game boy is easy, that was a perfect balance, technology was simple fun that hadn't yet ruined everybody's life. If I don't feel all fuzzy inside when I imagine an iPhone 4, can you blame me? Some people my age can't handle it.
I'm just now realizing gen alpha does in fact feel fuzzy when they think of an iPhone 4. God only fucking knows what that's about. People are always going to want to pretend they're older than they actually are, I guess?
