Y'all don't understand. We had to learn you don't have to rewind DVDs before returning them. It was stressful.

Wait… what happened to people born in 1989 that didn’t to those born in 1991???

I'm a xennial and I'd say I'm doing pretty good at keeping up, but I'm also a software dev so that probably skews things a bit.

Nah fuck em. They invented nuclear physics and they can't figure out a goddamned email? Skill issue.

I’m old enough to remember going to Hollywood video or blockbuster with my grandma on Fridays. Have a movie night. Those were some amazing memories.

I remember going to friends places for sleepovers, we would all go down to the video rental and pick one movie each, then pick up takeaway on the way home. We'd stay up all night watching each video and pigging out on food

I wish that wasn't painfully true.

Okay, as someone born in 1988, I am not an elder (but also I will accept you being kind to me please, thank you 🫠)

I remember being happy to watch whatever came on one of the four channels that your TV could pick up with a rabbit ear antenna.

When I was growing up the “big scam” was chain mail and televangelists.

Wasn't expecting that to be associated with 1990

The other day, someone in one of the gaming communities posted a comparison of the progress of video games from mid-90s to mid-aughts, and a more recent decade. It was clearly meant to be slightly exaggerated since the the recent screenshots were all the same one from fortnite, but the point still stands.

I wouldn't trade my 90s childhood for anything in the world.
