Some of us are 30 year old women, than you very much.

Who cares. There's nothing good about the 90s. We just got sucked into capitalism.

It was ok. Nothing amazing.

Arguably, the 90s had been the most peaceful (with the exception of few conflicts) and most prosperous decade. The world was just coming out from the spectre of the cold war as a result of collapse of communism, and globalisation is ramping up with many countries signing free trade agreements. But if you ask me, the 00s is arguably more peaceful and more prosperous decade than the 90s, because there were fewer conflicts and we're enjoying the full peak economic prosperity of globalisation and free trade. However, globalisation is mismanaged and we were living in borrowed time during the era as deregulation of free trade led us to the Great Recession. And now we're in downward spiral since with economic austerity having been applied; more conflicts spewing again; and nativist counterculture is trying to reverse globalisation.

Well that's... certainly an opinion o.O

People gatekeeping what it means to be a 90s kid wasn't on my bingo card for today lol.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

but if you were born in the 90s then you're 34 at most or 25 at least.

A decade of births aren't a rounding error, lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

24 at least till year is over

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Ah, right right, because it hasn't been a full 25 years since 1999 until the year is complete. For some reason I was thinking 2024 - 25 = 1999

Don't say that... I'm a 40 year old man. I was a kind in the 90s, I wasn't born in the 90s.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A 30 year old would be a 2000s kid.

Why do people get this wrong. It's not about the decade you were born in, it's about the decade you spent most of your formative childhood in.

Roughly, kids born in the 70s were 80s kids. Born in the 80s were 90s kids. Born in the 90s were 00's kids. Born in 00s were 10s kids.

2024 = 2030

Interesting math you've got there

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Somebody born in the 2000's was a 2010's kid

Because in 2013 a person born in 2000, would be a 13 yo. Kid?

A person born in 2004 (like me) would be a 13. Yo in 2017 for example.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Got recommended a video “you know your a 2000s kid when”

And I only cried for 20 minutes

At least you're not 50, like me. Ugh.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I just did that this month. Made it to the 40. The 90s are as far away from now, as the 60s were from the 90s.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

This month like June?! Me too! High five! But not to hard don't wanna sprain a wrist...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

A lot better than it was in my late 20s.

You're welcome back!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't be sad. I think 30 is a good age to be politically effective in the upcoming class war against the fascists and capitalists.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Jokes on them, 90's kids are pushing 40.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I graduated in 1998 and I'm 44.
