When do you have to be born to be an "early 2000s kid"?

the early 2000s

>>383864536
No. Someone born in 1999 isn't a 90s kid are they?

>>383864685
yes they are, they were born in the 90s are you dumb or what

>>383864420
1994-1998ish

I generally consider an "X0's Kid" to be someone who was around 6-12 during that decade, considering that's early enough to make you impressionable but late enough so you remember it

>>383864420
What does 1998-2002 make you?

>>383864802
thats now what "being an xx kid" means you retard

being a "90's kid" or an "80's kid" means you grew up in that decade, and therefore experienced it as a kid.

1999 would make someone a 00's kid, arguably.

You're borderline, kiddo. You're not a true 90's kid unless you got to experience the early 90's, and, no, being 2 years old doesn't count. Then again, you're definitely not a 00's kid. You can sit at our table, but it's going to be one of the seats directly in front of a table leg so that you're always knocking your knee on it.

>>383864420

Born in 94. I guess I was lucky enough to recall experiencing some of the 90's and all of what the 2000's had to offer. Early 2000's were culturally almost an extension of the 90's desu

>>383866403
Playing RCT and AoE II is different than playing them in their heyday. No one is going to call a current 10 year old addicted to Berzerk an 80's kid.

>>383866352
Damn, i started noticing things way after it was too late. How much longer until the next golden age?

>>383866545

You're pretty much a 90's kid if you were born in the late 80's. Any later and you would be too young to experience the decade in its entirety. I'd argue kids born in the 90's were 2000's kids. Same would go for kids born in the 2000's being 2010 kids or whatever

>>383866476
Yes, I did experience the 90's. If I can remember shit I did in my preschool class including the building where it was located, some of the other students I was with, and the bus I rode and the route I'd take to it, then I think I have every right to claim what I do.

>>383866809

>>383865987
Lel, the 90s is trash, the 80s was the time to e alive, the movies, the music, video games were more innovative and better than ever.

I was born in 1997 though, but most of my favorite shit comes from the 80s, barring video games.

>>383868538
Doesn't change the fact that 00's is just shitty discount 90's without any of the good stuff.

>>383865987
>remembering shit when you're younger than 8
Sorry kiddo, you're an 00's kid

>>383868953
The 90s is a transition between the hipness of the 80s and the edginess of the 2000s, it's a fucking mess, cartoons and video games were pretty ok though.

>>383867126
>I can remember my preschool class
>that makes me am 90's kid

Are you stupid or something? Why does being a "le 90's kid XD!" mean so much to you to resort to such silly logic? You are some sort of halfbreed; both 90's and 00's. And, hey, maybe generational definition doesn't exactly follow the formula of 10 year decades. It's not like this idea of "generations" follows a discreet formula or anything. Don't fight so hard for the dumbass title of "90'S KID." You do realize that if the internet was a mainstream thing 20 years ago we'd see the same shit about who was a "TRUE 70'S KID LOL?"

No one gives a fuck about when you were born, but how you act. Especially on anonymous anime image boards.

Anon 90% all that shit you mentioned was also popular in the early 90's. I remember all that crap. You clearly weren't born in the 80's, otherwise you'd know this fact. Instead it kind of looks like you quickly googled what was popular for kids in the 80's without realizing whatever article you were using was about the 80's - 90's instead.

>>383870430
>Anon 90% all that shit you mentioned was also popular in the early 90's.
Fantastic, because I was specifically talking about the early 90's and mentioned it clearly. Glad those community college classes on communication I've been taking are paying off! Fuck you, Professor Patel! I AM making something of myself!

The term is almost useless these days. Don't define yourself by it. What games did you play, get obsessed with, and let them make you who you are?

>>383871976
Tbh "millennial" really refers to anyone born 2000, i.e. the millennium, or later. Calling someone born in the 80's or 90's "millennial" makes no fucking sense when there's no millennium part of being born in those decades.

If you were born in the '90s, you weren't culturally aware enough to notice what was around you until the '90s were almost over. That makes you a '00s kid, because that's the zeitgeist you actually soaked up in a meaningful way.

Likewise, kids born in the '00s will be '10s kids. Your identity didn't come from the decade you were born, it came from the decade you were old enough to really understand, which you can't do until you're around 7.

>>383871830

>>383873457
Because 00's kids always get pissy when they get reminded how they get nothing but shit games, shit movies, and shit TV shows, at least compared to what was available in the 90's. Also the cultural stagnation. Take any year after 2001 and compare it to now, there's literally no difference. That's almost 20 years with no major changes in things like fashion or technology. Versus every previous decade, where there were marked differences and hallmarks/milestones/fashions that set them apart from each other.

>>383873775
This. What are the icons of the 70s, the 80s, the 90s? Anyone can rattle off a long list of events, works, styles, and aesthetics for any of them.

What are the icons for the 00s? There are none. Besides 9/11, literally nothing happened during that decade that burrowed itself into the public consciousness. What are the icons of this decade? Tumblrinas self-diagnoising fictional mental disorders and "I am a [decade I'm too young to actually remember] kid!" memes.

It's not hard to see why this generation is so insecure, it's the first generation since the middle ages that can safely be said to have accomplished absolutely nothing, despite being given more opportunity than any previous generation to succeed. What else can they do but try to appropriate a better time?

being an early 2000s kid means experiencing it AS A KID. so not being born in the 2000s but rather the mid to late 90's. 1997 birth is like the definition of 2000s kid since you would be 3 (not a baby) at 2000 and 13 (a teen) at 2010.
the only people who propagate this "born in 99 makes you a 90's kid" are 18 year olds who dont want to feel left out of the 90's rage since 90's kids have dominated geek culture on the internet for a long time

>>383874536
No one old enough to understand the recession would call themselves an 00s kid. I looked in a high school history text book, I do this every now and then because it's the course most subject to revisionism and manipulation and I want to keep tabs on how people are getting dumbed down, and the Great Recession was only given an off-hand mention. They don't know what it is, maybe only that at the time something happened that they can blame on capitalism. They're not deep thinkers, it won't go any further than that.

It's arguable that the iPhone and the wave of imitators that came afterward popularized mobile browsing and internet access to a whole new audience of retards. It was considerably less common to have access to the internet up until the middle of the decade, and phone browsing was restricted to a handful of phones.

Most 00's games sucked after Sixth Gen or there wasn't anywhere near as many defining titles. 7th gen just raised cost too damn high for there to be any seriously defining titles until the end.

That started in the 90's you retard. Late 90's granted, but that's not something confined to 2000 or later.
>>smartphones, fast internet, widespread online gaming and social media didn't change MY life
They don't because the underling technology has always existed, and don't make any sort of breakthroughs in technology. And if you seriously can't live without having your phone by your side 24/7, then you need to neck yourself and are a prime example of why 00's kids are fucking cancer.
>I mean i think my generation does have some problems but your post is crap
I'm not the retard completely oblivious to history and even claiming things previous generations did as advancements my own generation did. Normally I'd be pretty mad about this, but then again I'll throw you a bone because you're generation has accomplished jack shit other then texting on your phone all day.

>>383879589
Dude, I'm not diminishing the value of shit like Usenet. I'm saying that both 90s networking and modern social media have their own massive impact on culture, but the classification remains separate, you can't just lump them together. Their unique qualities are just too much of a dividing factor

>>383864420
I mark it as "you grew up in the decade", not "you were born in the decade".

>smartphones, fast internet, widespread online gaming and social media were all 90's achievements
ah yes, the colossal cultural changes due to sites like facebook are nothing new because a few nerds found out how to send emails in the 90s. the write brothers were great and all but in their day, people couldn't quickly and affordably fly on jet planes all over the world like they can in modern times. cruddy 2d graphics online fps may have started in the 90's the online gaming era was the 00's and 10's.

'grew up with' arguments only apply to social pop culture, not actual children's playthings.

I'm sorry my existence causes you anguish. I can relate. I see people successful actors on TV that are adults and younger than me. Life has passed me by.

Rugrats jokes on Workaholics were the realization for me that I was now an oldfag.

the 90's were fucking trash, the vast majority of people agree with this

I was born in 96 in Brazil so I basically lived the 90s with delay. Shit used to take a while to get here.

>since that's around the time I actually started gaming for real
All the people discussing about being of whatever decade are typically talking about the trends, culture and popular things things that influenced and surrounded their lives in that particular decade. They're not talking about the decade they started caring about video games.

I was born in 95 and I can remember seeing Pokémon 2000 in theaters better than I can remember 9/11

Well, I am.

No, you need to have experienced the early 2000's to be an early 2000's kid. You cant just have been born in it.

92' is a proto 90's kid, im 91' and even I know that I am more of a 90's / early 00's hybrid

Yes, I know you are. But you're discussing something completely different so there's no point entering discussion like this and saying that because it's completely irrelevant.
