I didn't particularly liked walking 5 miles to school, uphill both ways, in the 90s but video games were great back then. We had Age of Empires already in 97!
I am 90's kid from India and I can say that we had a similar life. Playing 8 bit game was the only video game, 16bit looked super awesome. As there were only 1 channel for us which used to show cartoon only on Sunday morning from 8-10 other than that it was all news or some random stuff. When I try to recall my childhood, I can only think of playing outside with my friends. The brotherhood we made is still strong. I remember doing many stuff by myself, driving bicycle for 10 km was normal. Restless. We used to leave house to meet our friend without even knowing that he is there; we didn't had phone. Later when we had phone, we used to give 1 missed call to let them know I am coming (to avoid call charges). :) We didn't had tech to build our childhood, we had friends !
Oh, if you did get the chance to use a Windows computer throughout the 90's, there is a chance that you remember one or more of these Operating Systems: Windows 3.0 (1990) Windows 3.1 (1992) Windows 95 (1995) Windows NT 4.0 (1996) (Only businesses used it) Windows 98 (1998)
Iam 2004 girl , and i can literally relate to both centuries equally..we are luckiest as we got experience of both worlds.. ✨✨but iam missing my childhood 🥺❤️
I still remember when I was a kid! The TV and computers were like box screen and man, Beleive me when I say this, that back than was considered a luxury! I still remember how hyped I was after I first played GTA San Andreas and was really fascinated by it's graphics! Man! Time really has changed a lot!
Had the best time of my life with this game together with my friends. Yes we were able to play this single-player game together as a group of three. And there was the two player mode on PS2 which was so much fun. Getting on a quad bike, entering the cheat code so that all pedestrians had weapons, turning on K-Rose and rushing through the city loudly singing along and trying not to get hit by an rpg. Good old times.
I was born in 70s in then Yugoslavia so yes ,i had best childhood kid can have..we spend all day outside playing ,its just mind-blowing how todays kids and teens miss so much ,they have more tech but much less real life
As a 2002 kid, I can say when I was a kid we had many things to do. Playing games both indoor and outdoor, And making friends outside, Going to school by my lil bicycle.. Those things slightly disappeared after 2010. Now this is bad. Technology ain't mean everything. When the technology develops, humanity becomes wild. And health also. I wanna go back to that era again. 😪
I've been born in 91 and sometimes wonder how we've managed to spend our days without the internet. Reading the 80s marvel and DC comics then made me remember how much entertainment was already available. Sure, we didn't constantly have access to everything like nowadays but it was still affluent. We already had plentely of Video games, many of which became evergreens. In my case, the total club manager series and Pokemon which I keep replaying even now. Also other games I lately found on steam like HOMM III or Turok. The Final Fantasy games, still loving FF7. CS, FIFA, Steet Fighter, Tekken, Super Mario etc. There was plentely already for gamers. We had Mangas and Comics to read though we had to wait every week for new issues to come out since we had to physically purchase them. Anime and other series were also around. And the friday evening blockbusters. Sure, they were only available on certain days and times but that made these days feel special. You could watch a lot of Sports events (Ironically way more on free TV than nowadays). And we arguably had the best sitcoms like Fresh Prince of Bel Air and the best ever Married with children. Theaters were also around enough. Though I went to the theatre for the first time in the 2000s. I still remember my first ever movie in the theatre, it was Lord of The Rings Fellowship. It not only made me love LOTR but a movie enthusiast in general. We had card games to collect already. Though I never was that much into Pokemon. I prefered Yu-Gi-Oh, which I not just collected but also played and still play. Having to wait for certain times and days was a little annoying, ngl. But not having it constantly available made it feel more special and we appreciated it more. And while we waited we were forced to spend quality time outside. Which was awesome. Catch in the night was thrilling. Going on rides is something I still love to do with my niece and nephew as long as my stomach still plays along. We generally had way more family trips than many families seem to do nowadays. Going to castles, water falls and the one I loved the most as a kid, the monkey hill. We also went to the playground frequently. Most of us played football of course (the real one, not the US version ;-) ). And we've all been im clubs. I was of course never allowed to be playmaker as I've always wanted due to my lack of scoring skills. Still was a lot of fun. Thinking about it now, the way I spend my leisure time hasn't really changed much since my chilhood. It just has become far more available. And I certainly love the modern affluency of entertainment. But it forces you to self monitor and control yourself way more. Sorry for the very long nostalgia trip. Hope this was at least interesting for young people who are curious about how older people spend their leisure time.
I feel like I’m growing up in both times. There’s a fragment of my childhood that remembers an unreasonably LARGE TV the size of my desk today, which has a smart TV that’s hella flat, mounted above it. We just recently fished the relic out of our garage and bro… it’s gonna take more than an Amazon delivery driver to throw it across our doorstep.
I remember I had a grew box TV where I watched nostalgic DVDs of Dora and 3 other shorts of other shows and I was always entertained watching it like the 1930s and I remember the buzzing static it had but we also had a modern flat TV.
@@9ightdreamer Yes! DVDs are my childhood! I remember my dad setting it up and we'd be watching old classics on it. I vaguely remember a videotape though, so that's cool.
I'm actually more than happy with what I got, but I experienced both ways so I can compare. 5 year old me in 1998: "These pc games are awesome. I wish I could be in one of them, that'd be so fun". 23 years later, I saw, personally bought VR and play it. It was like they made one of my dreams come true. What's not to love about technology and advancement. I never understood those nostalgia lover people. You were all poor like we used to be, go to a library to do some research like an idiot, trying to have fun with stupid things. So tbh, I'm 29 rn, but I didn't wanna grow up even when I was a child. I think I always lived how I exactly wanna lived. However, I'd like to be reborn into this technology now (with my mind as it is now), so I could see 29 years more of it. You know since... we'll die someday.
the going to school one was so true.. my parents literally always tell me crazy “true” stories of how far they had to walk through hurricanes, blizzards, hail storms, tsunamis, and earthquakes to get to school every morning 😂😂😂
Well, its compicated my parents lived a few miles out of town and the local bus company gave us old buses then as they kept the new ones for the biggest routes in the town, I got travel sick for the first few months until I was used to it as they were so bumpy. When I know kids these days get driven by their parents for a 5 minute walk as its "too far" even older teens get this, I have seen kids do paper rounds with their parents driving their car behind them, at that point what reason is there for giving the kid a paper round. I remember when we had the worst blizzard in decades my dad walking about 8 miles (and he had health conditions) and another 8 miles back through heavy snow with heavy shopping and even then we would hear locals boast about how they walked a mile on partially gritted town roads and that made them great.
It's weird to see how much things have changed since I was born, back in 1997. Essentially the tech age boom, from the first Nintendo DS to the first 3D movie without the blue/red visors to name a few. Alot has changed over the 20+ years.
@@pandaman1331 I remember the Gameboy advance and colour but I was just using some examples to say how much tech changed. It's never a competition to say who grew up with the most nolesgtic console
@@hunterwulfstern6121 true true. I am currently replaying every Pokemon game which perfectly shows how they evolved. They jump from the Gameboy Color to Advance was huge. And then another huge jump from DS to 3DS.
@@pandaman1331 How is that going for you atm? I remember playing Pearl for my official copy and only recently got Fire Red. Overall as you said the changes have grown immensely and the animated sprites in B&W blew me away
@@hunterwulfstern6121 I still enjoy all versions immensealy since every generation has different mechanics so it never feels the same even if you play with the same Pokemon. I am not too invested in graphics, the art style is more important to me. Although it's undeniable that the back sprites in Gen 1 are atrocious. But nostalgia is one hell of a drug and makes up for the lack in graphics. The Gen 6 games are by far my favorites, especially ORAS. I am currently in the post-game of black and white. Just finishend the main story. I am really looking forward to BW2. For no specific reason I never played it past the second gym. BW2 are the only games I've never finished. And I always skip DP for obvious reasons. I always go straight for Platinum. Although it doesn't feel that much faster.
I like the modern lifestyle too despite being born in 91. Young people nowadays won't even know real boredome of not having anything to play or to watch. The only problem is that unlike young people we can control ourselves better because we weren't raised to constantly consume. That's the only issue I have with the affluence of modern entertainment. It requires self control and self monitoring. I could also do without the woke mentality and toxicity. That was also one of the positives of not being online all the time. We had plentely of stupid people too. But we weren't flooded with their opinions. It was easy to ignore them and they weren't taken seriously.
@jarrodgraham2408 We had social media in the late 90s too. But not in the same abundance as nowadays and it was indeed just for social interactions and not to spread your politics or earn money by exploiting people. Though you could of course argue that stuff like MySpace started this toxic trend.
@jarrodgraham2408 I stopped using social media because I realized it had a very negative influence on me. Deleted my Facebook account years ago and never regreted it for a second. I gladly was never interested in Instagram and Twitter. I think that's the difference between older generations and Gen Z. Older gens can control themselves since they experienced a time before social media and therefore realize how much of a negative impact overexposure can have one ones psych. Gen Z doesn't know anything else.
@jarrodgraham2408 The internet is indeed where all the toxic people gather. But it's a distorted reality. There are not as many as you would believe. If you turn off social media for just a couple of days and go outside you will realize that most people are still normal. Or at least ach normal. Their madeness then gets unleashed online. My roommate is an example of that. Her madeness only got exposed to me slowly in small portions. Sometimes it feels like it's better to not get to know people for real. Though I think she would be a normal and reasonable person if she was permanently cut off from the internet. Too much exposure has a negative effect on them.
As a 2001 kid I feel more directly to the old age than the new age and I feel like I don't belong to Gen Z but to a lost generation nowadays kids just have 100 Mbps of internet speed or more and don't watch tv they just go into the internet...How time has changed...back in my day we just had 1 channel of cartoons with Tom and Jerry or any other WBs cartoons or Looney Tunes cartoons and the rest was just either national channels or news channels, we went outside, had brick phones and a bit later flip phones there were no smartphones, no digital cameras just film cameras, we barely had internet, no dumb memes...I feel like the more we go deeper into the internet and advance technology the more dumb our next generation will get and they wont get that joy of that life has given them into which is really sad
As someone who was a child in the 90s - it was really about the animated X-Men series. That theme song still plays in my head when I have to be badass working a job that is mostly unrelated to my expensive education. Otherwise, accurate.
I really do miss the 90s, because there wasn’t as much instant gratification. I loved waking up early on Saturday before my parents were up to watch Fox Kids. I never watched tv throughout the week, so I was glued to it, even through every commercial. Once a month we’d stay at my aunt’s house, and she had cable, so we got cartoons all weekend, and it was such a big deal. Now my nephew gets mad when Netflix does the loading animation between episodes.
As a 90's kid, I can absolutely confirm this is legit... every day going to school we ran on water and climbed MT Everest to get to that classroom on time... dont even get me started on the Seal Training we had to take to survive the playgrounds! ;P also..... "Myspace" bruh when we couldnt find anything on those four YT channels...we chilled at Myspace lol
In 1990, the World Wide Web was science fiction. In 2002, it was real, and it was everywhere. They might only be 12 years apart, but they were completely different eras.
Also, video games in 1994 where I lived weren't like that racing game. They were Wolfpack, F4U Secret Sortie, Guerilla War, and other titles for DOS. You could play them on a monochrome yellow LCD display on an IBM laptop. One that had a 45 MB hard drive with 4 MB of RAM. Everything cool had to be run from a floppy disk.

0:16 Steven He's Dad:I have to walk 20 miles per hour and have to climb the mountain both ways just to get to school.I also mentioned that i have to fought two lions on the way there and now they're doing my taxes.
Even though Windows XP wasn't a thing in 1990 - not by a long shot - I'll counter with: Not too long ago, while I was running a Win Vista system with nothing but HDDs and an ODD, my morning routine was to stumble out of bed and into my study and switch on the PC. Then I'd go into the kitchen, start a pot of coffee and get the toaster running. Then over into the bathroom to do some basic grooming. Then back to the kitchen where, by now, there would be enough coffee brewed for my first cup, which I then fixed. Then I would go back into the study, sit down at my desk, light a cigarette and enjoy it and my coffee. While I was doing that, Vista *might* have finished booting up. and if I was lucky, by the time the cigarette and coffee were consumed, I could get context menus on the desktop without the whole thing freezing up for 10 or 20 seconds. In 2022, and on a 12600K, Win 11 system installed on an M.2 drive, I enter the study, push the power button on my PC and by the time I'm sitting down at my desk, the PC is up and running.
Watching videos like this reminds me of why being born in 1984 was the best time possible... I know how to use and appreciate ALL of the old tech, yet young enough to know how to use all of the new tech...
@twizzm Yeah man, fully agree - I grew up in Tasmania Australia, which is basically the greatest little place in the world for a kid to grow up - Spent my days looking forward to school because I loved the other kids, and my weekends fishing, hunting and chopping wood for the fireplace and woodstove oven for my $2.50 weekly allowance. But then turned into an adult in 2002 right before mobile phones and the internet became ubiquitous. I know everything old and everything new.. People born 10-20 years before me often feel left behind, and people born 10-20 years after me are still struggling to find their place in society, and may never...
Outstanding. I was born in 1979. You've perfectly captured my childhood. TH-cam was way better then. I sunk my fair share of quarters in Pole Position. In all seriousness, I never even heard the word "meme" until the 2000's. It was late 1990's at the earliest. "All Your Base" and "Chip & Dale's MMORPG" were two of very few memes I was aware of.
The word "meme" was introduced in Richard Dawkins's "The Selfish Gene" in 1976. I should probably check his actual definition, but from memory, it was something like "transmissible unit of culture, analogous to a gene". So the word already existed when you were born, and you should have read it when you read "The Selfish Gene". Admittedly, it wasn't actually used in popular culture, and we didn't really refer to that cool "S" as a "meme".
That ending was so true 1990 people loved to go outside now people are like in 2022 friend: let's go outside you: covid exists friend: movies you: sure

I never understood those nostalgia lover people. You were all poor like we used to be, go to a library to do some research like an idiot, trying to have fun with stupid things.
So tbh, I'm 29 rn, but I didn't wanna grow up even when I was a child. I think I always lived how I exactly wanna lived. However, I'd like to be reborn into this technology now (with my mind as it is now), so I could see 29 years more of it.
You know since... we'll die someday.
Funfact: The game in 0:02 is a Formula 1 video game (idk what the exact game name is) from 1982 and the 2022 game is called "Ride 4" released in 2020
the going to school one was so true.. my parents literally always tell me crazy “true” stories of how far they had to walk through hurricanes, blizzards, hail storms, tsunamis, and earthquakes to get to school every morning 😂😂😂
Yes
My grandma had to walk through the amazon to get to school
That's actually good cuz of adventures and soo much fun, but nowadays, everybody have to do things on laptop, soo annoying -_-

Well, its compicated my parents lived a few miles out of town and the local bus company gave us old buses then as they kept the new ones for the biggest routes in the town, I got travel sick for the first few months until I was used to it as they were so bumpy. When I know kids these days get driven by their parents for a 5 minute walk as its "too far" even older teens get this, I have seen kids do paper rounds with their parents driving their car behind them, at that point what reason is there for giving the kid a paper round. I remember when we had the worst blizzard in decades my dad walking about 8 miles (and he had health conditions) and another 8 miles back through heavy snow with heavy shopping and even then we would hear locals boast about how they walked a mile on partially gritted town roads and that made them great.
It's weird to see how much things have changed since I was born, back in 1997.
Essentially the tech age boom, from the first Nintendo DS to the first 3D movie without the blue/red visors to name a few.
Alot has changed over the 20+ years.
Please. I grew up with the og Gameboy and the super nintendo
@@pandaman1331 I remember the Gameboy advance and colour but I was just using some examples to say how much tech changed.
It's never a competition to say who grew up with the most nolesgtic console
@@hunterwulfstern6121 true true. I am currently replaying every Pokemon game which perfectly shows how they evolved. They jump from the Gameboy Color to Advance was huge. And then another huge jump from DS to 3DS.
@@pandaman1331 How is that going for you atm? I remember playing Pearl for my official copy and only recently got Fire Red.
Overall as you said the changes have grown immensely and the animated sprites in B&W blew me away
@@hunterwulfstern6121 I still enjoy all versions immensealy since every generation has different mechanics so it never feels the same even if you play with the same Pokemon. I am not too invested in graphics, the art style is more important to me. Although it's undeniable that the back sprites in Gen 1 are atrocious. But nostalgia is one hell of a drug and makes up for the lack in graphics. The Gen 6 games are by far my favorites, especially ORAS. I am currently in the post-game of black and white. Just finishend the main story. I am really looking forward to BW2. For no specific reason I never played it past the second gym. BW2 are the only games I've never finished. And I always skip DP for obvious reasons. I always go straight for Platinum. Although it doesn't feel that much faster.
Born in 1982.
I like the actual modern lifestyle, and at the same time I feel I still had everything back in the days.
I like the modern lifestyle too despite being born in 91. Young people nowadays won't even know real boredome of not having anything to play or to watch. The only problem is that unlike young people we can control ourselves better because we weren't raised to constantly consume. That's the only issue I have with the affluence of modern entertainment. It requires self control and self monitoring. I could also do without the woke mentality and toxicity. That was also one of the positives of not being online all the time. We had plentely of stupid people too. But we weren't flooded with their opinions. It was easy to ignore them and they weren't taken seriously.
Exactly…!!!
@jarrodgraham2408 We had social media in the late 90s too. But not in the same abundance as nowadays and it was indeed just for social interactions and not to spread your politics or earn money by exploiting people. Though you could of course argue that stuff like MySpace started this toxic trend.
@jarrodgraham2408 I stopped using social media because I realized it had a very negative influence on me. Deleted my Facebook account years ago and never regreted it for a second. I gladly was never interested in Instagram and Twitter. I think that's the difference between older generations and Gen Z. Older gens can control themselves since they experienced a time before social media and therefore realize how much of a negative impact overexposure can have one ones psych. Gen Z doesn't know anything else.
@jarrodgraham2408 The internet is indeed where all the toxic people gather. But it's a distorted reality. There are not as many as you would believe. If you turn off social media for just a couple of days and go outside you will realize that most people are still normal. Or at least ach normal. Their madeness then gets unleashed online. My roommate is an example of that. Her madeness only got exposed to me slowly in small portions. Sometimes it feels like it's better to not get to know people for real. Though I think she would be a normal and reasonable person if she was permanently cut off from the internet. Too much exposure has a negative effect on them.

I liked how the video ended without showing how "going outside" looks like for kids in 2022.

I miss da old days- these types of videos always make me feel old
I’ll never adjust to the new generations.
I was born in 2001 so I suppose I'm a gen z, but I just don't... Fit there
And kids like us who were in the early 2000s have childhood with 1990 era and teenage with 2022 era ...WE ARE LEGENDS 😏❤
I was born in 2002 and Skittle's "what has society become" hits so hard
This video really tells us about the existence of those kids from then to now seriously.
Middle school S in 1990: 0:48

Middle school S in 2022: something, I don't know
As a 2001 kid I feel more directly to the old age than the new age and I feel like I don't belong to Gen Z but to a lost generation nowadays kids just have 100 Mbps of internet speed or more and don't watch tv they just go into the internet...How time has changed...back in my day we just had 1 channel of cartoons with Tom and Jerry or any other WBs cartoons or Looney Tunes cartoons and the rest was just either national channels or news channels, we went outside, had brick phones and a bit later flip phones there were no smartphones, no digital cameras just film cameras, we barely had internet, no dumb memes...I feel like the more we go deeper into the internet and advance technology the more dumb our next generation will get and they wont get that joy of that life has given them into which is really sad
How they had Discord if it was 1990? This will remain as a mystery for me and not only for me but for us…

you forgot how to flirt for introverts:

You know, this is so true. Love it when Beluga tells big facts with humor

1990: Wears shoes
2030: *Wears Metaverse glasses*
As someone who was a child in the 90s - it was really about the animated X-Men series. That theme song still plays in my head when I have to be badass working a job that is mostly unrelated to my expensive education. Otherwise, accurate.
I really do miss the 90s, because there wasn’t as much instant gratification.
I loved waking up early on Saturday before my parents were up to watch Fox Kids. I never watched tv throughout the week, so I was glued to it, even through every commercial.
Once a month we’d stay at my aunt’s house, and she had cable, so we got cartoons all weekend, and it was such a big deal.
Now my nephew gets mad when Netflix does the loading animation between episodes.
My Windows 95 took so long to startup and load that I usually kept a book beside it.
@@DragonRand100 its true problem are BSODs tho lol, they make you keep a calendar for a good porcoddio session
The struggles from our pasts becomes the nostalgia in our futures.
In 1990, we had 4 channels: News Channel, Weather Channel, TV Shopping Channel, and Old Movies Channel.
Beluga's content is evolving by the day, everyday. That's why he is able to keep his content fresh.
He learns something new each and every day.
0:13 bro i thought i was gonna get Rick rolled
Luckily i didn't
Me too jajaja
As a 90's kid, I can absolutely confirm this is legit... every day going to school we ran on water and climbed MT Everest to get to that classroom on time... dont even get me started on the Seal Training we had to take to survive the playgrounds! ;P also..... "Myspace" bruh when we couldnt find anything on those four YT channels...we chilled at Myspace lol
0:39 In 2022 Beluga is also one meme
POV : beluga buying his own Subscription, but suddenly rememberes that he is beluga himself
As someone born in 2002, i kinda feel both of them partially, but definitely not entirely
In 1990, the World Wide Web was science fiction. In 2002, it was real, and it was everywhere. They might only be 12 years apart, but they were completely different eras.

Moral of the story, Beluga+ is comming soon.
Also, video games in 1994 where I lived weren't like that racing game. They were Wolfpack, F4U Secret Sortie, Guerilla War, and other titles for DOS. You could play them on a monochrome yellow LCD display on an IBM laptop. One that had a 45 MB hard drive with 4 MB of RAM. Everything cool had to be run from a floppy disk.
1:39 😂 I know it sounds like such a 1st world problem but like, we spend $15 a month, get so excited, but then make no progress and end up watching some random Korean dubbed show about squids
Except it's not actually about squids...

This video indicates about our not being happy for what we have rn
In 1990 or early people were not comfortable and in 2022 we have literally everything but still are not pleased about the blessings we have
I would rather live in 1990 than in current gen-z era.
READ MY NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
@@abvd92840 Well, As a gen z I can confirm this is what is think
that´s because all of those "blessings" are of technological nature, however society itself is fucked up nowadays
90's kids: We have Tom, Felix and Garfield. What do you have?
Gen Z: We have Belgua.
If anything I feel like that’s the alpha gen
Born in 99 but my grandad had an old ass computer so I was playing paint, solitaire and pinball till I was at least 12.. no regrets
Sheesh this is a lot funnier than expected. Really had to laugh hard a couple of times. Nice. Memories. Born in 92.
"what has society become" skittle is actually very deep
indeed

Moral of this story: “Beluga knows that change is the biggest enemy we ever encountered.”

One more major thing:
Kids in 1990s: out of sight - out of parents' reach!
Kids in 2022: parents are within your smartphone's reach. Or, your friend's

Speaking from a perspective of someone born in 1998. This definitely brings back memories
'Going to school' ah, so true...we all heard stories about it from our parents/grandparents
Beluga is teaching us that we should be grateful for what we have we are lucky that we can go to school by bus but we just don't know how difficult was it for our parents to even do simple tasks like going to school.
Very Inspiring Keep up the good work beluga 👍
0:16 Steven He's Dad:I have to walk 20 miles per hour and have to climb the mountain both ways just to get to school.I also mentioned that i have to fought two lions on the way there and now they're doing my taxes.
It's: I have to walk 20miles uphill both ways 26 hours a day on one foot. My other foot was starting a business.

0:01 POV: You found me in the Time Beta
Yeah
No I didn’t
Even though Windows XP wasn't a thing in 1990 - not by a long shot - I'll counter with:
Not too long ago, while I was running a Win Vista system with nothing but HDDs and an ODD, my morning routine was to stumble out of bed and into my study and switch on the PC. Then I'd go into the kitchen, start a pot of coffee and get the toaster running. Then over into the bathroom to do some basic grooming. Then back to the kitchen where, by now, there would be enough coffee brewed for my first cup, which I then fixed. Then I would go back into the study, sit down at my desk, light a cigarette and enjoy it and my coffee. While I was doing that, Vista *might* have finished booting up. and if I was lucky, by the time the cigarette and coffee were consumed, I could get context menus on the desktop without the whole thing freezing up for 10 or 20 seconds.
In 2022, and on a 12600K, Win 11 system installed on an M.2 drive, I enter the study, push the power button on my PC and by the time I'm sitting down at my desk, the PC is up and running.
Watching videos like this reminds me of why being born in 1984 was the best time possible... I know how to use and appreciate ALL of the old tech, yet young enough to know how to use all of the new tech...
We are like the bridge generation when computers became common.
Same but I was born in 82 😂👍 Growing up in an analogue world then became an adult in the digital world.
george orwells book😳😳
@twizzm Yeah man, fully agree - I grew up in Tasmania Australia, which is basically the greatest little place in the world for a kid to grow up - Spent my days looking forward to school because I loved the other kids, and my weekends fishing, hunting and chopping wood for the fireplace and woodstove oven for my $2.50 weekly allowance. But then turned into an adult in 2002 right before mobile phones and the internet became ubiquitous. I know everything old and everything new.. People born 10-20 years before me often feel left behind, and people born 10-20 years after me are still struggling to find their place in society, and may never...
Absolutely. I thank god everyday for being born in 1980! We saw the home computers birth!

Outstanding. I was born in 1979. You've perfectly captured my childhood. TH-cam was way better then.
I sunk my fair share of quarters in Pole Position.
In all seriousness, I never even heard the word "meme" until the 2000's. It was late 1990's at the earliest. "All Your Base" and "Chip & Dale's MMORPG" were two of very few memes I was aware of.
The word "meme" was introduced in Richard Dawkins's "The Selfish Gene" in 1976. I should probably check his actual definition, but from memory, it was something like "transmissible unit of culture, analogous to a gene". So the word already existed when you were born, and you should have read it when you read "The Selfish Gene". Admittedly, it wasn't actually used in popular culture, and we didn't really refer to that cool "S" as a "meme".
@@omp199 Internet, you did not disappoint me. Epic reply.
all your base are belong to us
Beluga is actually teaching us how to touch grass in this video
That ending was so true 1990 people loved to go outside now people are like in 2022 friend: let's go outside you: covid exists friend: movies you: sure
I played that racing game back in the 90's and have not really paid attention to the graphics until just now.
I'm 15, but still feels 90s was way better.

Yes, the world today is very ugly. Among the toxic people, the spoiled ones and the teachers, there is nothing left of the world from before.
going outside is like seeing 1990s graphics
THE PAIN
So, basically, being a kid / teen in the 90’s was way cooler than being a kid / teen in 2022. Got it. Wish I had grown up in the 1990’s.
me too, even u can feel the atmosphere if you watch the old videos, and it's very addicting
