a 90’s kid? don’t you mean sad adult?

70,000 people have reblogged this but no one is trying to defend themselves

There is nothing to defend

#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.

Oh my god

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.

Rightfully bitter.

The rightfully is important. Most of us were in high school or college when things started to be sabotaged for our future. And we weren’t old enough to vote en masse & make change or run for office or anything. We had a front row seat to being ripped off and no way to stem the tide. And we thought we’d be able to change things when we were older (that’s what our Boomer elders kept saying), but they are still in the way & they’ve done so much damage in the interests of their comfort that I don’t know that we can turn the tide on some things like the climate.

Also, uhh, if you do throw knives/axes/shuriken/whatever, please, please, please don’t throw them at living trees you’re not already planning to fell anyway.

Yeah, if any of you nerds are tossing shit at trees, do it at dead ones or make use of the one you made giant gashes in. You’ve basically broken the layer that keeps the tree safe from fungus and insects. Once you break the cambium, the tree is fucked.

Also, fucking up trees that belong to the public (parks, preserves, etc) can get you a big fat fine because that is not your property to damage, so be a weeb in your own backyard and don’t ruin trees senselessly.   

gentle-reminder:

please try your best to care about yourself as well as other people - you are just as important

It’s so fucked up that women are so universally dismissed and hated in society that nearly every single woman goes through a phase (if not a lifetime) of thinking she isn’t like other women purely because she has rational thoughts, hobbies, feelings, and needs.
