Stranger Things fans when they realize travelling to the 80's doesnt mean they are going to get a super-perfect friend group fighting monsters from another dimension with them
@@realjackbruhman stranger things fans when they realize AIDS in the 80’s was becoming more and more widespread (they can’t have sex with eddie munson)😢
@@WolfXGamerful Right? Even if I could go back, it would only be for a day. Just long enough to get your fix without it getting boring. The novelty would wear off quicker than you might think.
This is a good video but I disagree with some points here for several reasons: - I'd argue smartphones haven't done much good for society except for wasting time in anime, video games, music, etc instead of being productive and getting things done. They're also a form of DRM / vendor lock in because you're forced to use them nowadays to communicate or even find a job, and they collect all your data and send it to 3-letter agencies so they can profile you. They can be powerful but they are definitely in the wrong hands. - You ate a natural plant-based diet and didn't get most of the health problems we have today. Nowadays, obesity, diabetes and overall sickness rates are skyrocketing to unpresidented levels. If you eat healthy, the vast majority of this can be alleviated by eating right
As someone who was born in Romania, I was NOT born in the wrong generation. I would much rather live in today's world than having the soviets breaking down our door
Same. As a Southeast Asian, I don't wanna born in a generation where the Japanese, British, Portuguese, etc. bashing through my family house. This is the right generation for me.
Do you ever wonder if people from the 80s were like “ugh, the 40s were so much better, I was born too late” and people had to explain that there was literally a world war going on?
no because people back then while still retarded didn't had internet echo chambers where they could nurture their stupidity back they they got bullied for being idiots and nobody would talk to them
@@mohaukobe7872Even without social media people would say the same things. Before social media they would say it through books, TV, theatre or any medium that can reach a big enough audience.
I think that desiring to live in a past generation is because of the societle problems we deal with in the present as well as it's uncertainty. They had problems yes, but not the problems we have now (and us not knowing how to fix them)
as a person who was born in the mid-2000s, it's kinda annoying how people say that the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s were better without looking at what the 2010s and 2020s has to offer. they fail to realize that the past has flaws just like any other decade.
@@fezupnext06 Mid 2000s is kinda strange wording given that technically the only middle part of the 2000s would be 2005 so maybe he was born in ‘05? But then again he could mean ‘04-‘06 but I was born in ‘04 and always counted myself as an “early 2000s” baby so idk lol.
My dad was born in 1958 and my mom was born in 1965. I do not envy them in the slightest. I can't imagine the struggles they went through. Living through so many historical events and all those iconic decades must've had their positives but I believe the cons outweigh the pros. I genuinely could've been born so much earlier in other generations but I'm glad I was born in 2004 and got to experience my childhood. I like being a part of gen z.
so 65 years old and 58 years old and you are 19 interesting because my grandpa ( my father father ) is 70 so just 5 years older then your dad and i thought my parents are whold which are 47 my dad and 45 my mom ( or something like that ) and i am 17, i whish you keep your parents save and take care of them
Born in 2010, yeah i might’ve not have experienced something from a 2000s kid (technically, my old brother did introduced what some things he is grewing up with to me), but hey, atleast i still have a childhood, not nothingness. If ya’ll gonna say “BORN IN 2003 IS BETTER THAN BORN IN 2010 SO YOU BORN IN WRONG GENERATION 🤡🤡🤡🤡”, then i think ya’ll are clowns, keep crying and complaining ya’ll. If you are gonna complain and cry about me born in 2010, then you should go back to a circus bozos, no one wants to hear your twitter behaviour.
As a fan of many things from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, I think I was born in the right generation to enjoy things from other thing from other generations
I’m a huge fan of 70’s,80’s and 90’s too (ex. movies,music,style,etc.). Thought it would be really cool to travel back to the past,i think i’m better off living in this generation. There ARE things i do like in this current generations and i can’t live without them,too.
Finally, someone else with common sense. It always gets on my nerves when people say that the olden times were better and we were born in the wrong generation.
@SCP 69 no he’s right. People back then socialized more and were less lonely. There’s a reason why people are going back to the past instead of looking towards the future
@@greatestindanationwide8332 so many more people today socialize with other people, and the people who are lonely are mostly not actually lonely and lying to themselves, and the ones who are actually having problems are less than before.
each generation has it's perks, it's beauty and it's downsides. It's easy to look back at an Era and see the good things in it. I guarantee you that at some point in the future we will be way too nostalgic about these times, and we will be annoyed by the future generations who say "they'd love to live on these times".
On god. I would love to go to a concert in the 70's-80's to see my favorite bands in their prime. I wouldn't want to live in the 80's tho. Moslty due to the threat of nuclear war.
I'd want to go to the past 80s+/- just to try buy a house, damn this shit expensive as hell nowadays in my country, back then I could have a chance at least.😭
@@AnekoF90 honestly same 😭 Video games too and the currency of my country before the euro was wayyyy cheaper and according to a lot of older people (born in 60's 70's and 80's) it was easier back then on my island
Honestly... I do not want anything from back then and I rly appreciate the time I live in (wish I was born more later but well, better what I have now than existing on the 20th century) Just thinking what old fashion looks like (80s specially ughh) and the fact there was no internet rly makes me appreciating my timeline
I was in my teenage in the late 2000s. It was during that time i got really interested in history mostly the Victorian era. i love the fashion, the literature, the architecture and the music. I would express these interests to my friends and they would tell me i was born in the wrong era, but i don't agree on this. The gap between poor and rich was huge for one thing. If you were born poor during this period in time you would probably die poor. Your chances of ever making a fortune was slim to none. This is a important thing to consider because the things i loved about the era, the fashion, the literature, the architecture and the music, the art and the opera, i wouldn't be able to enjoy any of that unless i was upper middle class or rich. Lets say i got to go back in time to the Victorian era as a rich noble woman, Loads of money. Lots of time to spend on leisurely activities. Also my allotted goal in life would be to marry, have children and raise them in an appropriate and respectful manner. Most of them marries really young, late teens to early 20s. Because mortality rate was high. Medicine wasn't as advance as it is now so you'd be lucky to be alive past 40. I was born in the late 90s to a middle class family in a developing country in South Asia. Working in sales and going to college at the same time. But I'm more than privileged than a Victorian era noble woman. I can read Victorian literature on my eBook reader, Listen to classical music pieces on Spotify, Watch period dramas on Netflix, watch operas on TH-cam heck even rent out a Historical Victorian House on Airbnb.
@CGG_GSS one day people will look back at 2022 like THIS was one the greatest years ever. Similar effect to 1999, 2002, 2007, 2012. Of course almost nobody likes the current year.
Privilege is definitely a big factor. We are so used to the advantages we have now that we don't consider them privileges at all, and see all the things from the past and yearn for "the privilege" to have those things. And yeah, there is no way Gen Z and Alpha would survive a day in the 90s without their phones and instant access to the internet
Tommy has the power to just make me procrastinate on purpose. Like I want to clean my room, but let me get just a second of that Tommy video and I'll just start watching.
Thank you for making this. Always baffles me when kids nowadays complain about how everything back then was "so much better", yet they experienced nothing of it and they only are looking at those times thru "pink glasses" in forms of the already mentioned videos of 90's highschools or the music. I do have to mention though, that as an European we definitely did not forget about the war and it's affecting us more than Americans, especially economically.
@@5spec No, but at the very least don't ignore that not everything back then was all roses and sunshine like many are making it to be. Look at the facts and acknowledge them, don't turn a blind eye on it.
As someone who was born in the year 2000 I can definitely say nowadays are better than back then, it was fun growing up during that time but yeah this generation is definitely better for the advantages it has
I like living in this generation, sometimes i get this spike where I want to be apart of some musical group and you see how much more fun it seemed in the 80s when it was just friends, now its just basically entirely corporated and money based. It's not about making punk rock with the boys, its about being a big music creator just to collaborate with another big music creator. I hope when it comes to music, it becomes about having fun rather than money, and I hope it does go that way with literally anything.
also i could be wrong but anit part of the fun of vintage stuff that its old and has a story to be told so if you lived in the time it would not have that appeal like the iphone 13 now is just a phone but the frist iphone is you know the frist iphone
Don't get me started on going to a movie theatre while black in the 90s, my uncle said "people will tell you sit at the back but do it in the most passive aggressive way. and if you talk back and or give additude you'll be either kicked out or in jail for a day".
@TomTheDog Attention spans have nothing to do with tiktok ,they are different for everybody and even back in the past the attention span was not rly that high ,just becuase someone uses tiktok does not mean they have low attention span and viceversa I am not even understanding like how knowing songs from tiktok is a bad thing or how does that show the "lower attention spans" of everybody Ahmmm humans have tried to compared themselves with others (both unknown and known ppl) for centuries... Is part of human nature for the good and the bad, blaming that on Instagram is just stupid Highly doubt there was not some other source of data collection back in old times but if that is your concern... Then what are you doing here?? As for children and their early xxx content... Back in the 90s I was told that xxx websites alredy existed, children still somehow managed to get XxX magazines or even posters secretly and even ecchi mangas existed so even back then... So xxx content was not rly hard to find Is normal... They go through puberty, they become more "horny", some are more early bloomers than others just like nowadays ,that has not changed Everyone at some point becomes curious
Maybe people in 2050 will be like, “Ugh, the 2020s were so much better, I was born too late.”, and people will have to explain that there was literally a pandemic going on.
This has always gone on, when I was on TH-cam in 2006 people were making rants on kids who were “born in the wrong generation”. This will always be a thing
I am part of Generation Z but grew up without Internet. When the covid-19 pandemic was starting, my parents finally got Internet and now the thought of living in an era without it. Most of the people that I've met that said "I was born in the wrong generation" in real life were the types of people I always saw using their the newest phones.
I grew up in a mix bag I had internet on my phone but when I gone outside I had to use my imagination I didnt go outside that much because I didnt know how to use social media and on top of that I was scared of the unknown when I was young I use to be like them in some way born in the wrong generation but now that I'm old I live if not one of the most greatest generation I'm not saying my generation is perfect but I realized my privilege as a young man in my 20s to take advantage of the things I have.
Thanks for this video. I was just struggling with the thought that I would’ve liked to have been born in the 60s or something rather than 2009. It really opened my eyes to everything I feel. The main thing I was envying was just how true I think people were back then. Right now it seems as if we need to put on masks and hide all our flaws to be liked. But I feel is the worst of all to me personally is the lack of humanity and passion in music that there was before. It now seems all industry like. That’s the main reason. This did help me look at the positive side of today though, so thank you for that :)
I was born before 2009, but I do see your point of view. I think we are all born in the right generation, but some of us tend to liked older stuff. Just because what’s popular sucks doesn’t mean that modern music sucks. Some good post-2000 bands/musicians are Bruno Mars, Avenged Sevenfold, Dirty Honey, The White Stripes, etc.
I was born in 2009 too, but I was more wanting to live in the Late 90s, 2000s, and hey, experiencing more of the early 2010s would be cool too. My reason is everything now feels cooperate.
Honestly through reading history and hearing stories from elders, people have been the same in terms of keeping a mask. Only difference is that the internet made everyone aware of it. It made some people more accepting or others and made others more judgmental. It exacerbates what already existed prior to the internet. As for current pop music, there’s some songs I like from the past 5 years but I do agree a lot of it sounds corporate. This only applies to mainstream music. I’ve seen a lot of passionate artists at local shows. There’s a ton of good, new stuff out there that’s in almost any genre and most bands have a Spotify. Social media like Instagram or Facebook are good for finding new bands or local shows to go to.
As somebody who wasn’t born then, I was raised as if it was the 80s. My family calls them selves “leftovers from the 80s” They would dress me in clothes from then, show me movies and I grew up with all old music. We still use cds and vinyl records, and i’m genuinely happy how they raised me. As much as I would love to be in the 80s, i’d rather be in this generation especially since a lot of the older stuff are coming back. Again, i’m so thankful to my family for raising me how they did. And great video!
Dude same here. I was raised like if it was still the 90s. I dint stop using a vcr until 2016 2017 if I remember correctly. I used to love it when my dad just came home with a big ol box of old Disney movies. It felt like I won the home video lottery. But I'm still glad I'm living in modern times, now that we have access to loads of information at our disposal.
Although we did have some of the newest things back in the 2000s, I ended up learning and raising myself in the 80s... Hell I still go to classic arcades because it was one of the things that made the 80s what they are, there was also a lot more of course.
y'know, i wouldn't group myself with those people, but i do like looking at some of these old objects. it really makes me think what people used before my time. it actually makes me really appreciate the evolution of human technology.
Alot of these people vary from age group not just 14 year olds i see people in their 20s already saying this stuff cause they think they had a better childhood cause they played a certian video game and their parents doing the same to them one thing in common they all hate new things cause of the nostalgia and the whole " kids these days will never understand " stuff
Dude im from Guatemala and kids in my school be talking about how they wish they were born in the 80's/70's when they know damn well they wouldve been kidnapped during the civil war 💀💀
5:11 I can happily say i am one of the last gen z kids to thumb through CDs tryna find the cartoons I would like when I was five, back then, one of the last blockbusters in Australia was still running and I would beg to go there, nowadays, CDs are basically nonexistent and everything is on Netflix. THis is the part where people complain but i am rlly happy with the progression, but i still miss thumbing through CDs though.
I usually get bored from videos of just talking for almost 15 minutes, but watched (and enjoyed) the whole video out of spite from the attention span thing. Good job, Tommy. You got a cent more than you would have. Edit: Yeah, I get it. I’m not exactly *proud* of it. No, I don’t use TikTok, and I very much enjoy watching well-edited video essays up to an hour long. A random person just *talking* with the occasional sound effect or voice filter added in isn’t the same as a full on documentary.
@@Shadow.behind.mountains Yeah. I have. But at least I can last that long, there are many people who click off videos instantly if they aren’t immediately entertaining. I fear that might be me one day.
As someone who grew up when we started getting good internet, laptops, bluetooth, general wireless tech, smartphones and all of the things we take for granted now, I can understand why kids today think things were so much better before. They see so much of the good memories people wanted to keep, and *just never see the bad things.* When I was a teenager, there was a *_MAJOR_* problem with a serious surge of teenage depression, anxiety, self harm and eating disorders, without basically any knowledge of how to deal with it at all (everyone had a friend or classmate who'd cut). Whenever I read comments from today's teens gushing over old memories from old scene kid blogs/vlogs, thinking that it looked like everyone was having _so much fun_ and truly believing that those kids could be themselves without being made fun of, they just don't know that *the vibe was quite the opposite.* The kids who dressed scene did it _because_ of their inner anguish. You'd honestly think the popular music at the time would be a pointer as to what people were feeling back then, when songs like "How To Save A Life", "Face Down", "Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks", and basically anything by Linkin Park were topping the charts.... People around my age were also the first kids to seriously be targeted by online groomers and online bullying/harassment, without much protection or awareness at all. There was also the 2008 financial crisis, which is basically the reason why I'll never own my own place to live LMAO. I understand people's want/need to escape, but things weren't better just because it _seemed like it._ Try to find the best way to live in your own reality, because you can never relive someone else's memories.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting a video like this, but I 'm happy you made it. Every time I see these people they get on my nerves. I'm genuinely a decent guy but I don't think I've ever felt so enraged towards people before which says a lot about them. This is coming from someone who's listened to a lot of music and seen movies from the 70s, 80s and 90s (thanks to my parents) and I have thought "I wonder how it would be like if I lived then, to live in the times when my parents were young" but not once did I ever go around saying this "I was born in the wrong generation" crap
But that change we have today is mostly cringe. Music is cringe, and it has been for the past 15 years. Lingo is cringe. Fashion is cringe. Technology is made to not last. Heck, even the word "cringe" has come out of this generation, but it's a good word to describe something bad.
I wanted to add something to what you said about inclusion. Without the internet a lot of people were also very isolated in those decades. Modern technology has probably saved a lot of kids' lives! We can always listen to the music of prior decades or emulate the fashion with a retro look, so today we have the best of both worlds.
Exactly, while the internet does have setbacks there are so many advantages like shopping,donations, help, interests, and news. The internet has more advantages then disadvantages
I used to act like this back when I was like 11. I like being gen z. I grew up with content from the 90's and early 2000's (TV and videogames) and I have a real appreciation for it all. I love the things I have now and the privileges that I have that I wouldn't have if I was in those generations
I experience this fairly often when talking about music with people much older than me. My dad tells me stories of being a teenager in the very late sixties and through the seventies, and it sounds like it was so cool when buying music on a physical medium was still the only way to do it. Your favorite band drops a new album and so you and your friends go to the record store to buy it on vinyl or 8-track, and there's lots of other fans of the same band there excited to get the new album, you meet other people with similar music taste that way, you get the new record and it looks cool. But I'm certain that it only seems so glamorous to me because I didn't live through that time. Sure it's a great experience, but it requires traveling to a different location during their business hours, you have to pay money for it as where today all my music is completely free, and there's not a certainty you'll get it because it might be sold out, as where digital copies are unlimited. I'm sure that had I lived through the time period my dad did, I wouldn't find it quite such a desirable thing to go back to the past before the internet made it possible for me to download basically any song from any album by any band completely for free and listen to it anywhere and anytime I want to on a device small enough to fit into my pocket.
People miss the weirdest things from the past. Mfs in the comments of 1900-1930 videos talking about how well dressed everyone was and how today we've lost our taste in fashion. Meanwhile everyone in those old videos has to wear the same dull sweaty clothes with no ability to express yourself in what you wear.
Personally, I like those olds outfits. Probably because at how fancy and "clean" they are. Poor people in that era dressed 1 million times better than a lot of people today.
You can be sure they never saw how people dressed in that time, the definition of "fashion" they have of that time are probably some mafia related outfits. 💀
@@QuiVierge my view im not a fan of those outfits i like to wear whatever i want but for formal affairs yes wear that youd look weird otherwise i saw some guy going to weddings in shorts💀
And then there's composition and quality factor of those clothes that is lost through tike because of the camera. For all we know, those clothes are dirty, ripped, wrinkled, and other imperfections.
you are spitting facts because a lot of people do not to understand the pros and cons of this if they ever went back. another thing is that I understand how people feel but just be grateful of what you have now and stay at the present moment.
Well, we don't HAVE to be grateful for EVERYTHING, as good as our present time is, it is flawed, just like back then, and we should aknowledge and fix those, so that the next generations may look back (just like we do) and appreciate the things we did to make THEIR lives better.
I think there is some truth to the sentiments that a lot of people in Gen Z feel like we are the wrong generation. We are a lot more fake. But I’ll be real - I just envy those who grew up in the 90’s and 2000’s as teens and saw the evolution of Hip-hop, RnB and UK Grime and Garage music. The parties back then must have been lit and as someone who’s passionate about music - I really do feel like I missed out on a unique era
im a zillenial (born right between the end of millenials and the start of gen z) but i wish i was born 10 years earlier to experience the 00's and early 10's because as a kid and a teenager i had a blast in those times... i would've had way more fun as a young adult... it seems like after the mid 2010s culture and in many ways society really went downhill quickly into what we're seeing nowadays
I see what you did there. You deliberately said that you could guarantee 50% of viewers wouldn't watch this in order to psychology us into doing it. Got me too. Good one.
@@ariyonnathebeautifulariese4104 To a certain degree we have more protection from bullying at school and at work, but more people need to be educated on invisible disabilities.
Yeah I also have autism and was born in 06 but a low-key kind of wish I was born in like 98 because of some bands that I really love now were popular and like for example I love Daft Punk to death and that's when they were actually popular and still touring I would have loved to see them in tour although it's highly unlikely considering that they have disbanded
His segment about peace in our times is so true and people who "I was born in the wrong generation" often forget that. Like my man, if you live in the 60's or 70's, you're damn near singing Fortunate son for the 20th time in South Vietnam, You'll be in stationed in South Korea or West Germany, get drafted to Iraq over some Gulf State. If not, then you're in a constant threat of nuclear war since you know... Cold War. Like I just learnt about the Islamic Golden Age but I don't wanna go back there and meet the guy who invented Algebra not because I'm a Christian, it's because of the lack of medicine and lack of understanding diseases.
lol yeah but that depends on the time and country, for mine (Chile) the 90´s were the best times, and not because i say it but because the country came out of a dictatorship and the economy rised up, literally all my family and people that i know confims this, now were on one of our worst times regarding the economy, sure, people have smart tv´s and 150 dollar phones but almost everyone has horrible debt problems on private healthcare, renting (bc your average millenial cannot own a house) or university, and every expert says that we have to be prepare cause it will get worse.
I feel like it should common knowledge that with each generation we slowly get to a better state of life. Sure, stuff isn't perfect (one look at Twitter can prove that), but you'll never catch me saying I want to live in a less advanced, more dangerous, less inclusive society just for the music.
Today's current society is actually a lot less tolerant than I'd say between 88 and 08. If you disagree even the slightest from the main stream these days you are attacked and censored in a way that didn't happen before . People are also more racist now.
less dangerous? I think you mean more dangerous. But i wouldn't call our times "safer" either lmao, i would agree with you if I didn't have the imminent fear of getting turned into swiss cheese for just going to school or walking in the street and getting stabbed just bc some dude got his subway order messed up.
It's still dangerous if you don't fit in, I can tell you that first-hand from being a goth. I'm glad you come from a safe area but not everywhere is like how you're describing, even in places that are viewed as the most "modern" countries
@@Candyy248 I've been a goth since I was a little kid (a lot of my family were goths, I'll say from 2010 onwards though). And it's definitely gotten a lot less safe. I'm from a bit of a rough area in England, but growing up I only got laughed at at most. Now I have kids coming up to me trying to pick fights (I'm 19 but I look 13-ish, it's also not always teens/kids doing this stuff). It's like now that it's more in the public again the worse it's getting. I'm starting to get scared dressing like this
I was born in the late 80's, grew through the 90's (Millennials, high five!) and i can tell you that if these lads and ladies knew about the lack of security standards we had back then, they would probably like their generation a bit more. Heck, on of the jokes from the 90's is "I survived the 90's". Imagine going even further back. Also, no smarthphones, small Internet, almost no computers, and a crap ton of TV and books to be entertained. EDIT: That fear of not knowing what would happen next because of wars and terrorist attack was real back then. Pretty much everyday it would appear something of the sorts in the news, so much so it was kind of normalized, and some times you ended up with a mindset of not "will this happen to me?" but "when will this happen to me?".
Even people in our generation did that shit. Remember all those hipsters back in colleges collecting vinyl records like "omg I wish I was born in the 50s it was lit" .....yeah they were great, if you weren't black, gay, autistic or all 3. It's the aesthetic people want, not to actually return to those times.
True like hard out beatings were pretty much normalised in that time but id rather go back and get the most maniacal most sadistic beating known to man just to buy a mcchicken combo for 3$ than in current times for one (ik its nitpicky but inflation did my boy dirty by charging us that shi for 8$ like its crazy to think about and don't get me started on those house prices)
Until the 80s they used to not give anesthesia to babies because they thought babies didn't feel pain So being born in that generation literally is hell on earth
@@renren47618 Theres a difference between history in films vs history in real life. Films any medieval person are happy except the slaves. In real life the only time you would be happy is if you were rich and had bread on the table and hoping to god you wouldnt get slain by a sword
To be honest, I am into older things from like the 80s and 70s. The only reason why I'd rather go back in time is to just get away from all the BS that is Gen Z and Tiktok. Other than that, I don't really want to go back in time unless if someone is pointing a gun at my head forcing me to do so.
I wish I had more people to idolize and look up to nowadays. All of my idol's lived in the past, is what I'm saying. Imagine how popular someone like Wilt Chamberlain would've been if he had social media accounts? He was still extremely popular, many people looked up to him, without the internet promoting him. Beyond that, usual TommyNFG W.
As a kid born early 2000’s I agree with this As much as i love 40’s-2000’s music I would not give up stuff like modern gaming or youtube to go back to that era
1940s-2000s music? That is a wide gap in music. I mostly listen to music from 1960s-1990s. I wouldn’t give up my modern technology to go back to the 60s. If I went back to the 60s, I would have to have been born in the 40s.
i fucking love the way you make fun of other things, your humor is top notch as much as i like things from the mid 80s-early 90s (cars, music, etc) it's definitely a lot more convenient to have the privileges we have now such as smartphones and the internet. i wouldn't necessarily like to live back then, but i'd definitely want to experience it a bit
I went to high school in the 90s some things were way better. But other things were worse. If I take nostalgia out of it, I would say it’s definitely easier to be a high schooler today. There was a much higher pressure to conform to either the dominant culture or a counter culture. It was much harder to be the type of person who openly loved sports, anime, pop, indie, all at the same time. You either liked hip hop, pop, or rock. There was no in between. At least openly. You either liked anime or thought it was super weird. Most thought it was super weird. Nerd culture is pop culture. We have all the movies, shows, anime we want. You can be yourself. You guys have communities. We had arcades and shady shops in china town. I see the way my nephews have all these friends online they connect with and play video games with. Playing games online with friends was not even a dream for us. If I saw one fortnite lobby it would have literally blown my mind. To see rappers playing these games too? Crazy. To see the most popular movies being marvel and Star Wars? Could never have imagined that. Phones with OLED screens?? We had massive crt TVs with 480 pixels and scan lines. To have this beautiful retina imagine in my hands where I can watch movies even play games Is wild. We barely had the internet. You have VR! I would have died for VR yo. No one cared about our mental health. Toxic masculinity was just the way it was. You couldn’t be gay (openly). You couldn’t hope to be trans (openly). Blacks dated blacks for the most part. Racism is very much still a thing obviously but it was worse. It was never called out. Feel dumb for writing toward the begging because he basically said all this in the video. But I spent too much time to delete.
@Detective so 1. Didn’t mean to suggest blacks dating blacks is racist. I actually didn’t define racism at all. Those two observations had nothing to do with each other they just happened to both involve race. That’s my B. I didn’t double check this it was more just random thoughts. 2. Yeah, I was mostly generalizing. Obviously interracial couples have been a thing for a long time. My aunt who is black married a white guy after all. I should have said it was just much less common. Again, didn’t proof read this at all. Same thing with being gay. Obviously people were gay but I grew up listening to music that literally talked about killing gay people. My block is mostly Jamaican so I was bumping Buju Banton every block party. And it was nothing like, we knew what that song was about and agreed with it. My best friend to this day is super homophobic. He’s more a brother and he’s coming around but. It’s just how it was. Same thing with the dip set era no homo stuff. You could openly hate gay people, talk about killing them. And it was nothing. And toxic masculinity is a thing. If you want to deny that, well that’s on you. But it’s just an objective fact of life. Our culture pushes men to act aggressively, to not be vulnerable, not show emotions. Like if my friend were to come up to me, give me a big hug, not a bro hug, and then tell me he loves me and then maybe cry about something. I’m going to be highly weirded out by that. I don’t want to, but that’s just how I’ve grown up. Actually I don’t even remember the last time I cried. Not at my wedding or either kids births. But I remember the last time I got into it with someone. So yeah, it’s real.
@Detective bro if you don’t like emotions that’s completely ok. Actually lots of autistic people don’t feel much emotion. That’s not shade, my son is autistic (but that’s not a symptom he has). Anyway. It’s a whole other thing to restrict what other men should do though. And the funny thing is if you actually were tuned into what people are talking about you would know that people talk about female toxicity all the time. For example I was just having a conversation on how women feel like they constantly need to compete with each other and that’s why it’s hard for many women to have genuine friendships. The problems are just different. But yeah, what happens is you are fed by algorithms all of the bad takes and some of the good ones out of context. You’re not really tuned into what people are saying. Like how many people still think were saying masculinity is in oneself toxic when that’s not it at all. Masculinity is perfect. It’s when we emphasis toxic traits like anger as a substitute for sadness, glorifying violence, etc, that it becomes toxic. But it’s not that serious man. Like no one is hurting you by talking about this stuff. And it actually helps people like me figure out why we feel messed up.
As someone who is born in 2010, i am proud to be a 2010 baby or newborner, and I think I already have a great nostalgic childhood from 2013-mid 2010s, those times in 2010s are so great. Also, if some “nostalgia” young adults are gonna make fun of 2010 newborners and call them “gen alpha”, then I think they might be the most egotistical young adults ever, at this point, most nostalgia young adults are just egotistical at this point.
Lately i've been comparing the Internet (especially Social Media) and the acceleration of life to Cigarettes a lot. At first everybody uses it, loves it, finds it cool and anybody warning about possible dangers is ridiculed and laughed at, but over time people learn. Sure it's mental hazards vs physical hazard but it's more and more becoming apparent that a slower life and less information overload is mentally better for people.
The funny thing is, the "had better music" is sort of untrue as well. Seriously, today's radio plays garbage 90% of the time, but guess what was happening back then. The songs 80's and 90's are known for are cherry picked from heaps upon heaps of terrible songs nobody liked.
As someone who was born in the 80’s they were a lot of fun and I occasionally miss the 90’s. The world was much smaller. The adult material topic was spot on😂 We did not have as many school shootings and overdoses which seem daily now. Overall it’s all about your mindset and the time you’re in is the best time to be alive.
You do realize the 90s was like the second worst decade for shootings, don't get me wrong love the decade just saying it wasn't a problem then is a bit iffy
I can remember having to search for a phone box that hadn't been vandalised to make a phone call, because paying for a landline was too expensive.When I did find one that was working, I have to stand outside whatever the weather while the idiot inside wittered on and on for about half an hour. Mobile phones are a blessing.
I was born in the right generation (2000's kid) and I sure as hell appreciate it. 💪 I remember flip phones, box TVs, PS2, and Xbox 360 like it was yesterday.
Bro, I experienced this like every month or 2 when we visit my grandparents. They still have their box tvs, vhs-es, my old ps2 still there, it was an awesome blast from the past.
And also in the 70's and 80's and like another 50 years after there was the cold war, Vietnam War, Cuban missle crisis, Korean War, the Iron curtain, and the very real treat of being struck with an nuke.
i was born on 2004 and if anything, i seriously don't want to go to anything before 1984 i enjoyed 2009 and 2017 so much that i've spent 2 literal years feeling intense nostalgia for them but i'm enjoying 2022 too because at least i'm achieving stuff that i didn't achieve on past years
Same here . When I graduated I was so happy bc they had put me in hard classes . But when I made that list and walked across that stage, I felt the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders
All the tech stuff aside, as a 32 year old, I do like that nowadays a scared 15 year old lesbian can come out and not (hopefully) experience the horrors of what I experienced 15 years ago. Getting physically bullied all the time was totally worth it though cause emo music was in its prime and Hot Topic actually sold like, those like, awesome Tripp pants! But though I'm probably at least 8 years older than him, he kills me every time!! And he's also got the perfect voice for voice-over work!!
@@1977WasPeakNo they aren't. Not by a long shot. One's more likely to see toxicity from Twitter hip hop circles than the average lesbian subreddit or something.
I think that when someone says this, they wish to go back because of issues that we have now. For example, social media addictions are just so shit, I spend so much time just aimlessly watching tiktok and I am unable to stop. But instead of just complaining that I want to live back in a time without that issue, but failing to notice like a hundred other issues that we don't have now, I just wish that we don't have this issue now, and for media companies from making a quick buck by destroying the minds of young people
Even my mom agrees Like on summer we were travelling by car to see one of my aunts and luckly we have Google Maps and all that stuff and she was rly thankful of it Becuase she told me back on her time she had to use a map to know where to go She even showed the map and was quite big... So yeah finding specific places and the route for it should have been painful
@@captainjackass9405 because he has rocks for brains. what the original guy say was straight facts and mf came in and said "its not" but it is so he has rocks for brains, also you do too
You're right about these types of people being annoying, but this generation is becoming increasingly desensitized and numb due to the this tech we have. We're raising a generation that doesn't go outside and interact with others and learn the world and is addicted to the dopamine overdose that our phones give us. Nobody is learning to solve simple problems and deal with adversity and its gonna reflect when the complex ones come. All this incompetence is gonna hurt in around 10-15 years when these kids are at the start of their careers and fold at the simplest problem, and its gonna lead to creation of hard times.
I remember when I was about 10 or 11 years old, I saw all of these people online saying how much better everything was back in the 90s, and that everything after that sucks. It made me want to time travel back to the 90s to experience both the cartoons and video games they had (It wasn't like I could easily find an N64 or Playstation 1 for sale online or had any way of paying for it.) To this day, I sometimes wish I could time travel to the 90s, but only for a couple hours, maybe a whole day at most. Everyone remembers the TV shows or songs from that decade, but choose to forget the bad things like Columbine.
Man, i wish i could live under the threat that i could have my skin ripped off the rest of my body by a nuclear blast and a second later have my whole body explode and get turned into ashes, i was born in the wrong generation.
As a classical music fan I would gladly give up my happy life for smallpox and no sewage system in return to listen to Beethoven's songs like 3 times every decade.
6:35 the only people who ''kinda forgot'' are americans, in europe its still very much a prevalent topic that ppl talk a lot about. but im not surprised that americans forgot, that seems to happen a lot there.
Car enthusiasts are the only people that should have this opinion, there are nothing like the cars of the 60s- 90's, sadly we will never have anything like these cars again, I would gladly trade my technology to experience such a ride. Otherwise W opinion as usual tommy.
Yeah. Its the same with music, though every song from the 70's-80's is online at this point, wouldn't it be awesome to see a concert from your favorite band in their prime?
@@jackaj7041 yeah. But they looked really cool. Newer cars are designed to keep you safer since smartphones were invented, people began to text while driving. Not to mention, drunk drivers, drivers sleeping at the wheel, and other problems
I'm 15 and I saw so many folks say that and I basically told them they should enjoy where they are now bc back then was CRAZY I'm still getting hate comments..
I was born in 93’ and all those things you mentioned about going to blockbuster, going out to eat, access to p*rn etc weren’t seen as inconvenient back then but an experience. Only someone who didn’t get to experience would say they were difficult times. The world moved a lot slower back then, meaning a new movie wouldn’t come out every 2 days but rather once in a while, artists would actually have to have talent to be heard and those songs are still enjoyable to this day because there weren’t social media where everyone has to keep up with everyone else, and new music would just get old within a week. Video games were arguably more fun back then because of actual effort put into them and nowadays you get half baked garbage and still have the audacity to charge you money afterwards, cars then had character both looks wise and driving now they are just smartphones on wheels or appliances. The standards of the world have changed and growing faster than we humans could keep up.
They literally weren’t, bad songs have existed during all points in history. Artists didn’t always needed talent, sometimes they just needed industry connections. And hell you can easily play those games via emulators, stop being such a annoying person. Y’all don’t have to buy triple A games. The indie game community is blowing up, and some of the best games come from it. And you’d rather complain because some triple A shooter sucks. Same with music, you can literally listen to most tracks from the 90s.
@@manygatos885 IT HASN’T, you just always want to look at the bad. And it’s FUCKING annoying. You can easily experience most things from your childhood. And new games and music, but you’d rather complain.
Ngl I get kinda annoyed when people say "every generation has problems, every generation says the last was better" because it dismisses how much social media has changed culture in the past fifteen year. You mention the positives of social media like finding community and that may be true but the fact that kids don't play outside as much and are more likely to be brainwashed by social media and seeing adult content, is true too.
Completely agree It takes a deeper understanding of things to understand how much this stuff messes people up especially morally and authenticity is missing from today compared to then
@@Vsofuy I'm not even gonna lie I've been talking to this girl for a few months and I really like her but that exact dismiss attitude about social media especially TikTok and it's effects on young peoples mental health and the future really is making me pause. She just has this "well isn't everything ?" Attitude about it which is honestly annoying me and causing me to kinda rethink the relationship because I can't believe a person can be so dismissive of what's clearly Infront of our eyes.
3:21 That’s actually a really good strategy on making people watch to the end of the video because they want to prove that they don’t have a bad attention span 😂
My grandpa remembers when people didn’t have running water houses were still lighted by oil lamps and heated with wood and he was only born in 1935! So I definitely agree, I think we were born in the right generation for all the modern amenities
Great content. I personally didn't agree with every point you made but I respect your point of view on this. I don't think I was born in the wrong generation I was born when I was born lol that's it and people saying they were born in the wrong generation need to accept that. I don't think one generation is better than another and there's no need to bash on older or current times to try and prove that either. It is what it is and you should just be happy you're alive and hopefully well.
Fuck yeah they would, I definitely would say that to any zoomers who might be lgbt, growing up in the 90s and 00s, if you were a boy who showed even the slightest hint of femininity, you would be yelled at, bullied, beaten, abused by parents, etc. What they mostly wanna experience is the aesthetics of those decades, not actually live through it.

This is a good video but I disagree with some points here for several reasons:
- I'd argue smartphones haven't done much good for society except for wasting time in anime, video games, music, etc instead of being productive and getting things done. They're also a form of DRM / vendor lock in because you're forced to use them nowadays to communicate or even find a job, and they collect all your data and send it to 3-letter agencies so they can profile you. They can be powerful but they are definitely in the wrong hands.
- You ate a natural plant-based diet and didn't get most of the health problems we have today. Nowadays, obesity, diabetes and overall sickness rates are skyrocketing to unpresidented levels. If you eat healthy, the vast majority of this can be alleviated by eating right

no
because people back then while still retarded didn't had internet echo chambers where they could nurture their stupidity
back they they got bullied for being idiots and nobody would talk to them
I don't think that's possible. There was little to no social media at that time, so I don't think people in the 80's would feel that way.

Honestly... I do not want anything from back then and I rly appreciate the time I live in (wish I was born more later but well, better what I have now than existing on the 20th century)
Just thinking what old fashion looks like (80s specially ughh) and the fact there was no internet rly makes me appreciating my timeline
I was in my teenage in the late 2000s. It was during that time i got really interested in history mostly the Victorian era. i love the fashion, the literature, the architecture and the music. I would express these interests to my friends and they would tell me i was born in the wrong era, but i don't agree on this.
The gap between poor and rich was huge for one thing. If you were born poor during this period in time you would probably die poor. Your chances of ever making a fortune was slim to none. This is a important thing to consider because the things i loved about the era, the fashion, the literature, the architecture and the music, the art and the opera, i wouldn't be able to enjoy any of that unless i was upper middle class or rich.
Lets say i got to go back in time to the Victorian era as a rich noble woman, Loads of money. Lots of time to spend on leisurely activities. Also my allotted goal in life would be to marry, have children and raise them in an appropriate and respectful manner. Most of them marries really young, late teens to early 20s. Because mortality rate was high. Medicine wasn't as advance as it is now so you'd be lucky to be alive past 40.
I was born in the late 90s to a middle class family in a developing country in South Asia. Working in sales and going to college at the same time. But I'm more than privileged than a Victorian era noble woman. I can read Victorian literature on my eBook reader, Listen to classical music pieces on Spotify, Watch period dramas on Netflix, watch operas on TH-cam heck even rent out a Historical Victorian House on Airbnb.

I like living in this generation, sometimes i get this spike where I want to be apart of some musical group and you see how much more fun it seemed in the 80s when it was just friends, now its just basically entirely corporated and money based.

Attention spans have nothing to do with tiktok ,they are different for everybody and even back in the past the attention span was not rly that high ,just becuase someone uses tiktok does not mean they have low attention span and viceversa
I am not even understanding like how knowing songs from tiktok is a bad thing or how does that show the "lower attention spans" of everybody
Ahmmm humans have tried to compared themselves with others (both unknown and known ppl) for centuries... Is part of human nature for the good and the bad, blaming that on Instagram is just stupid
Highly doubt there was not some other source of data collection back in old times but if that is your concern... Then what are you doing here??
As for children and their early xxx content... Back in the 90s I was told that xxx websites alredy existed, children still somehow managed to get XxX magazines or even posters secretly and even ecchi mangas existed so even back then... So xxx content was not rly hard to find
Is normal... They go through puberty, they become more "horny", some are more early bloomers than others just like nowadays ,that has not changed

I am part of Generation Z but grew up without Internet. When the covid-19 pandemic was starting, my parents finally got Internet and now the thought of living in an era without it. Most of the people that I've met that said "I was born in the wrong generation" in real life were the types of people I always saw using their the newest phones.
I grew up in a mix bag I had internet on my phone but when I gone outside I had to use my imagination I didnt go outside that much because I didnt know how to use social media and on top of that I was scared of the unknown when I was young I use to be like them in some way born in the wrong generation but now that I'm old I live if not one of the most greatest generation I'm not saying my generation is perfect but I realized my privilege as a young man in my 20s to take advantage of the things I have.
Thanks for this video. I was just struggling with the thought that I would’ve liked to have been born in the 60s or something rather than 2009. It really opened my eyes to everything I feel. The main thing I was envying was just how true I think people were back then. Right now it seems as if we need to put on masks and hide all our flaws to be liked. But I feel is the worst of all to me personally is the lack of humanity and passion in music that there was before. It now seems all industry like. That’s the main reason. This did help me look at the positive side of today though, so thank you for that :)
I was born before 2009, but I do see your point of view. I think we are all born in the right generation, but some of us tend to liked older stuff.
Just because what’s popular sucks doesn’t mean that modern music sucks.
Some good post-2000 bands/musicians are Bruno Mars, Avenged Sevenfold, Dirty Honey, The White Stripes, etc.
The 60s were a horrible time
I was born in 2009 too, but I was more wanting to live in the Late 90s, 2000s, and hey, experiencing more of the early 2010s would be cool too. My reason is everything now feels cooperate.
@@ayten-linux Bro, you're 14, chill out man. Just take back and enjoy the show.
Honestly through reading history and hearing stories from elders, people have been the same in terms of keeping a mask. Only difference is that the internet made everyone aware of it. It made some people more accepting or others and made others more judgmental. It exacerbates what already existed prior to the internet.
As for current pop music, there’s some songs I like from the past 5 years but I do agree a lot of it sounds corporate. This only applies to mainstream music. I’ve seen a lot of passionate artists at local shows. There’s a ton of good, new stuff out there that’s in almost any genre and most bands have a Spotify. Social media like Instagram or Facebook are good for finding new bands or local shows to go to.
As somebody who wasn’t born then, I was raised as if it was the 80s. My family calls them selves “leftovers from the 80s” They would dress me in clothes from then, show me movies and I grew up with all old music. We still use cds and vinyl records, and i’m genuinely happy how they raised me. As much as I would love to be in the 80s, i’d rather be in this generation especially since a lot of the older stuff are coming back. Again, i’m so thankful to my family for raising me how they did. And great video!
Dude same here. I was raised like if it was still the 90s. I dint stop using a vcr until 2016 2017 if I remember correctly. I used to love it when my dad just came home with a big ol box of old Disney movies. It felt like I won the home video lottery. But I'm still glad I'm living in modern times, now that we have access to loads of information at our disposal.
Although we did have some of the newest things back in the 2000s, I ended up learning and raising myself in the 80s... Hell I still go to classic arcades because it was one of the things that made the 80s what they are, there was also a lot more of course.
That sounds awesome ngl
I wish they brought back segregation
y'know, i wouldn't group myself with those people, but i do like looking at some of these old objects. it really makes me think what people used before my time. it actually makes me really appreciate the evolution of human technology.

THis is the part where people complain but i am rlly happy with the progression, but i still miss thumbing through CDs though.

People don’t realize that they only highlight the good parts of a generation
As someone who grew up when we started getting good internet, laptops, bluetooth, general wireless tech, smartphones and all of the things we take for granted now, I can understand why kids today think things were so much better before.
They see so much of the good memories people wanted to keep, and *just never see the bad things.*
When I was a teenager, there was a *_MAJOR_* problem with a serious surge of teenage depression, anxiety, self harm and eating disorders, without basically any knowledge of how to deal with it at all (everyone had a friend or classmate who'd cut).
Whenever I read comments from today's teens gushing over old memories from old scene kid blogs/vlogs, thinking that it looked like everyone was having _so much fun_ and truly believing that those kids could be themselves without being made fun of, they just don't know that *the vibe was quite the opposite.* The kids who dressed scene did it _because_ of their inner anguish.
You'd honestly think the popular music at the time would be a pointer as to what people were feeling back then, when songs like "How To Save A Life", "Face Down", "Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks", and basically anything by Linkin Park were topping the charts....
People around my age were also the first kids to seriously be targeted by online groomers and online bullying/harassment, without much protection or awareness at all.
There was also the 2008 financial crisis, which is basically the reason why I'll never own my own place to live LMAO.
I understand people's want/need to escape, but things weren't better just because it _seemed like it._
Try to find the best way to live in your own reality, because you can never relive someone else's memories.

I experience this fairly often when talking about music with people much older than me. My dad tells me stories of being a teenager in the very late sixties and through the seventies, and it sounds like it was so cool when buying music on a physical medium was still the only way to do it. Your favorite band drops a new album and so you and your friends go to the record store to buy it on vinyl or 8-track, and there's lots of other fans of the same band there excited to get the new album, you meet other people with similar music taste that way, you get the new record and it looks cool. But I'm certain that it only seems so glamorous to me because I didn't live through that time. Sure it's a great experience, but it requires traveling to a different location during their business hours, you have to pay money for it as where today all my music is completely free, and there's not a certainty you'll get it because it might be sold out, as where digital copies are unlimited. I'm sure that had I lived through the time period my dad did, I wouldn't find it quite such a desirable thing to go back to the past before the internet made it possible for me to download basically any song from any album by any band completely for free and listen to it anywhere and anytime I want to on a device small enough to fit into my pocket.
People miss the weirdest things from the past. Mfs in the comments of 1900-1930 videos talking about how well dressed everyone was and how today we've lost our taste in fashion. Meanwhile everyone in those old videos has to wear the same dull sweaty clothes with no ability to express yourself in what you wear.
Personally, I like those olds outfits. Probably because at how fancy and "clean" they are. Poor people in that era dressed 1 million times better than a lot of people today.
@@QuiVierge I mean it looks nice for formal events and all. But people didn't have much freedom on what to wear.
You can be sure they never saw how people dressed in that time, the definition of "fashion" they have of that time are probably some mafia related outfits. 💀
@@QuiVierge my view im not a fan of those outfits i like to wear whatever i want but for formal affairs yes wear that youd look weird otherwise i saw some guy going to weddings in shorts💀
And then there's composition and quality factor of those clothes that is lost through tike because of the camera. For all we know, those clothes are dirty, ripped, wrinkled, and other imperfections.
you are spitting facts because a lot of people do not to understand the pros and cons of this if they ever went back. another thing is that I understand how people feel but just be grateful of what you have now and stay at the present moment.
i am not grateful for what i have now. what are you going to do about it, send me to the matrix?
Well, we don't HAVE to be grateful for EVERYTHING, as good as our present time is, it is flawed, just like back then, and we should aknowledge and fix those, so that the next generations may look back (just like we do) and appreciate the
things we did to make THEIR lives better.
And if I'm not grateful? What are you going to do about it?
I think there is some truth to the sentiments that a lot of people in Gen Z feel like we are the wrong generation. We are a lot more fake. But I’ll be real - I just envy those who grew up in the 90’s and 2000’s as teens and saw the evolution of Hip-hop, RnB and UK Grime and Garage music. The parties back then must have been lit and as someone who’s passionate about music - I really do feel like I missed out on a unique era
Yeah same. The present just feels so much more isolating compared to back then
im a zillenial (born right between the end of millenials and the start of gen z) but i wish i was born 10 years earlier to experience the 00's and early 10's because as a kid and a teenager i had a blast in those times... i would've had way more fun as a young adult... it seems like after the mid 2010s culture and in many ways society really went downhill quickly into what we're seeing nowadays

His segment about peace in our times is so true and people who "I was born in the wrong generation" often forget that.

Like I just learnt about the Islamic Golden Age but I don't wanna go back there and meet the guy who invented Algebra not because I'm a Christian, it's because of the lack of medicine and lack of understanding diseases.
lol yeah but that depends on the time and country, for mine (Chile) the 90´s were the best times, and not because i say it but because the country came out of a dictatorship and the economy rised up, literally all my family and people that i know confims this, now were on one of our worst times regarding the economy, sure, people have smart tv´s and 150 dollar phones but almost everyone has horrible debt problems on private healthcare, renting (bc your average millenial cannot own a house) or university, and every expert says that we have to be prepare cause it will get worse.
I feel like it should common knowledge that with each generation we slowly get to a better state of life. Sure, stuff isn't perfect (one look at Twitter can prove that), but you'll never catch me saying I want to live in a less advanced, more dangerous, less inclusive society just for the music.
Today's current society is actually a lot less tolerant than I'd say between 88 and 08. If you disagree even the slightest from the main stream these days you are attacked and censored in a way that didn't happen before . People are also more racist now.
less dangerous? I think you mean more dangerous.

I was born in the late 80's, grew through the 90's (Millennials, high five!) and i can tell you that if these lads and ladies knew about the lack of security standards we had back then, they would probably like their generation a bit more.

Also, no smarthphones, small Internet, almost no computers, and a crap ton of TV and books to be entertained.
EDIT: That fear of not knowing what would happen next because of wars and terrorist attack was real back then. Pretty much everyday it would appear something of the sorts in the news, so much so it was kind of normalized, and some times you ended up with a mindset of not "will this happen to me?" but "when will this happen to me?".

I went to high school in the 90s some things were way better. But other things were worse. If I take nostalgia out of it, I would say it’s definitely easier to be a high schooler today. There was a much higher pressure to conform to either the dominant culture or a counter culture. It was much harder to be the type of person who openly loved sports, anime, pop, indie, all at the same time. You either liked hip hop, pop, or rock. There was no in between. At least openly. You either liked anime or thought it was super weird. Most thought it was super weird.
Nerd culture is pop culture. We have all the movies, shows, anime we want. You can be yourself. You guys have communities. We had arcades and shady shops in china town. I see the way my nephews have all these friends online they connect with and play video games with. Playing games online with friends was not even a dream for us. If I saw one fortnite lobby it would have literally blown my mind. To see rappers playing these games too? Crazy.
To see the most popular movies being marvel and Star Wars? Could never have imagined that. Phones with OLED screens?? We had massive crt TVs with 480 pixels and scan lines. To have this beautiful retina imagine in my hands where I can watch movies even play games Is wild. We barely had the internet. You have VR! I would have died for VR yo.
No one cared about our mental health. Toxic masculinity was just the way it was. You couldn’t be gay (openly). You couldn’t hope to be trans (openly). Blacks dated blacks for the most part. Racism is very much still a thing obviously but it was worse. It was never called out.
Feel dumb for writing toward the begging because he basically said all this in the video. But I spent too much time to delete.
@Detective so 1. Didn’t mean to suggest blacks dating blacks is racist. I actually didn’t define racism at all. Those two observations had nothing to do with each other they just happened to both involve race. That’s my B. I didn’t double check this it was more just random thoughts. 2. Yeah, I was mostly generalizing. Obviously interracial couples have been a thing for a long time. My aunt who is black married a white guy after all. I should have said it was just much less common. Again, didn’t proof read this at all. Same thing with being gay. Obviously people were gay but I grew up listening to music that literally talked about killing gay people. My block is mostly Jamaican so I was bumping Buju Banton every block party. And it was nothing like, we knew what that song was about and agreed with it. My best friend to this day is super homophobic. He’s more a brother and he’s coming around but. It’s just how it was. Same thing with the dip set era no homo stuff. You could openly hate gay people, talk about killing them. And it was nothing.
And toxic masculinity is a thing. If you want to deny that, well that’s on you. But it’s just an objective fact of life.
Our culture pushes men to act aggressively, to not be vulnerable, not show emotions. Like if my friend were to come up to me, give me a big hug, not a bro hug, and then tell me he loves me and then maybe cry about something. I’m going to be highly weirded out by that. I don’t want to, but that’s just how I’ve grown up. Actually I don’t even remember the last time I cried. Not at my wedding or either kids births. But I remember the last time I got into it with someone. So yeah, it’s real.
@Detective bro if you don’t like emotions that’s completely ok. Actually lots of autistic people don’t feel much emotion. That’s not shade, my son is autistic (but that’s not a symptom he has). Anyway. It’s a whole other thing to restrict what other men should do though. And the funny thing is if you actually were tuned into what people are talking about you would know that people talk about female toxicity all the time. For example I was just having a conversation on how women feel like they constantly need to compete with each other and that’s why it’s hard for many women to have genuine friendships. The problems are just different. But yeah, what happens is you are fed by algorithms all of the bad takes and some of the good ones out of context. You’re not really tuned into what people are saying. Like how many people still think were saying masculinity is in oneself toxic when that’s not it at all. Masculinity is perfect. It’s when we emphasis toxic traits like anger as a substitute for sadness, glorifying violence, etc, that it becomes toxic.
But it’s not that serious man. Like no one is hurting you by talking about this stuff. And it actually helps people like me figure out why we feel messed up.

Lately i've been comparing the Internet (especially Social Media) and the acceleration of life to Cigarettes a lot. At first everybody uses it, loves it, finds it cool and anybody warning about possible dangers is ridiculed and laughed at, but over time people learn. Sure it's mental hazards vs physical hazard but it's more and more becoming apparent that a slower life and less information overload is mentally better for people.
Very well said! It’s by far the worst thing to come from this generation to me. It’s very invasive and causes people to be more fake and more extreme
*"Slower life & less Information overload"* type of societies is why earth is polluted...

The funny thing is, the "had better music" is sort of untrue as well. Seriously, today's radio plays garbage 90% of the time, but guess what was happening back then.
The songs 80's and 90's are known for are cherry picked from heaps upon heaps of terrible songs nobody liked.
I don't want to go to the old times but some 80s 70s song do bop though
And we can actually listen to music when we want, they had to buy music back then.
the best benefits i can see out of this is amazing music watching older shows while they're releasing and warning people about they're deaths
“Mom, Tommy’s is speaking facts again!”
He always be preaching them opinions with no consequences... What a legend.
As someone who was born in the 80’s they were a lot of fun and I occasionally miss the 90’s. The world was much smaller. The adult material topic was spot on😂 We did not have as many school shootings and overdoses which seem daily now. Overall it’s all about your mindset and the time you’re in is the best time to be alive.
Ah it also depends upon your city or country l come from a country where in the 90s you had to fight for independence or marry off at 15 🥹🥹
You do realize the 90s was like the second worst decade for shootings, don't get me wrong love the decade just saying it wasn't a problem then is a bit iffy

I can remember having to search for a phone box that hadn't been vandalised to make a phone call, because paying for a landline was too expensive.When I did find one that was working, I have to stand outside whatever the weather while the idiot inside wittered on and on for about half an hour.

And also in the 70's and 80's and like another 50 years after there was the cold war, Vietnam War, Cuban missle crisis, Korean War, the Iron curtain, and the very real treat of being struck with an nuke.
i was born on 2004 and if anything, i seriously don't want to go to anything before 1984
i enjoyed 2009 and 2017 so much that i've spent 2 literal years feeling intense nostalgia for them but i'm enjoying 2022 too because at least i'm achieving stuff that i didn't achieve on past years
Same here . When I graduated I was so happy bc they had put me in hard classes . But when I made that list and walked across that stage, I felt the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders
All the tech stuff aside, as a 32 year old, I do like that nowadays a scared 15 year old lesbian can come out and not (hopefully) experience the horrors of what I experienced 15 years ago.

I think that when someone says this, they wish to go back because of issues that we have now. For example, social media addictions are just so shit, I spend so much time just aimlessly watching tiktok and I am unable to stop. But instead of just complaining that I want to live back in a time without that issue, but failing to notice like a hundred other issues that we don't have now, I just wish that we don't have this issue now, and for media companies from making a quick buck by destroying the minds of young people

You're right about these types of people being annoying, but this generation is becoming increasingly desensitized and numb due to the this tech we have. We're raising a generation that doesn't go outside and interact with others and learn the world and is addicted to the dopamine overdose that our phones give us. Nobody is learning to solve simple problems and deal with adversity and its gonna reflect when the complex ones come. All this incompetence is gonna hurt in around 10-15 years when these kids are at the start of their careers and fold at the simplest problem, and its gonna lead to creation of hard times.
I remember when I was about 10 or 11 years old, I saw all of these people online saying how much better everything was back in the 90s, and that everything after that sucks. It made me want to time travel back to the 90s to experience both the cartoons and video games they had (It wasn't like I could easily find an N64 or Playstation 1 for sale online or had any way of paying for it.)
To this day, I sometimes wish I could time travel to the 90s, but only for a couple hours, maybe a whole day at most. Everyone remembers the TV shows or songs from that decade, but choose to forget the bad things like Columbine.
"I was born in the wrong generation"
Cold War.

That's what I'm saying. The Cold War was the biggest scare tactic during the 90's. People never knew when the communists would attack.

I was born in 93’ and all those things you mentioned about going to blockbuster, going out to eat, access to p*rn etc weren’t seen as inconvenient back then but an experience. Only someone who didn’t get to experience would say they were difficult times.
The world moved a lot slower back then, meaning a new movie wouldn’t come out every 2 days but rather once in a while, artists would actually have to have talent to be heard and those songs are still enjoyable to this day because there weren’t social media where everyone has to keep up with everyone else, and new music would just get old within a week. Video games were arguably more fun back then because of actual effort put into them and nowadays you get half baked garbage and still have the audacity to charge you money afterwards, cars then had character both looks wise and driving now they are just smartphones on wheels or appliances. The standards of the world have changed and growing faster than we humans could keep up.
Born in 93 as well and things were much better back then hell 2005-2010 was amazing, it’s been downhill for a while 😢
They literally weren’t, bad songs have existed during all points in history. Artists didn’t always needed talent, sometimes they just needed industry connections. And hell you can easily play those games via emulators, stop being such a annoying person. Y’all don’t have to buy triple A games. The indie game community is blowing up, and some of the best games come from it. And you’d rather complain because some triple A shooter sucks. Same with music, you can literally listen to most tracks from the 90s.

Ngl I get kinda annoyed when people say "every generation has problems, every generation says the last was better" because it dismisses how much social media has changed culture in the past fifteen year. You mention the positives of social media like finding community and that may be true but the fact that kids don't play outside as much and are more likely to be brainwashed by social media and seeing adult content, is true too.
Completely agree It takes a deeper understanding of things to understand how much this stuff messes people up especially morally and authenticity is missing from today compared to then
@@Vsofuy I'm not even gonna lie I've been talking to this girl for a few months and I really like her but that exact dismiss attitude about social media especially TikTok and it's effects on young peoples mental health and the future really is making me pause.

Attitude about it which is honestly annoying me and causing me to kinda rethink the relationship because I can't believe a person can be so dismissive of what's clearly Infront of our eyes.

My grandpa remembers when people didn’t have running water houses were still lighted by oil lamps and heated with wood and he was only born in 1935! So I definitely agree, I think we were born in the right generation for all the modern amenities
Going into this, I was expecting mostly satire and what not, but you explained your view really well and actually had very solid points
Great content. I personally didn't agree with every point you made but I respect your point of view on this. I don't think I was born in the wrong generation I was born when I was born lol that's it and people saying they were born in the wrong generation need to accept that. I don't think one generation is better than another and there's no need to bash on older or current times to try and prove that either.
