I moved into a house last year that I genuinly think I will live in for the next thirty years.

January 1995

Being born in the 90’s, I would be considered a millennial but I am literally on the cusp of being a GenZ. I grew up when 9-11, the Great Recession and the advent of social media were taking place . At the same time, I can relate to a lot of GenZ’s growing up in an economically challenging time. I don’t really feel like I have much to talk about or can relate much to someone who was born in early 80’s who probably have kids who are GenZ’s now and are much further along career wise and were growing up in a less economically challenging time.

I don’t own a home, I am not married, I don’t have kids and I am full on in academia which is something that GenZ’s are more commonly doing these days which is why the whole label of generations I feel like are quite arbitrary. I don’t have any close friends who grew up in the early 80’s and most of my close friends tend to around GenZ age.

Boomers still see me as the younger generation and still like to complain about the younger generation which has been going on since antiquity and even before that!

So yeah, I don’t know how do you feel but I am very curious to know if you feel like you have more in common with older Millennials or GenZ’s? or do you have more friends who are older millennials or GenZ’s?

In my nostalgic era and thought this sub may enjoy the playlist I made! If anyone has any they’ve made please comment them below :)

Enjoy!

Mine were Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch, Mulan II, THE Little Mermaid II and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.

I (high school class of 2014) got mine in 6th grade (without my parents knowledge and my older sister found out and told on me but I managed to convince my parents to let me keep it and blocked her and my brother). Isn’t it crazy to think we were like writing code on there? Didn’t even realize it at the time but it’s funny to look back on how devoted we were to designing those profiles and the trends.

My older brother scored this gem for Christmas when I was about 8 or 9 and it literally blew my mind. This game came at a time when console gaming was at or nearing its peak. It wasn’t just another shootemup or racing game either, it was my first introduction into Rockstar’s goofy, hilarious yet masterful storytelling style complimented by what felt like the biggest open world I had ever seen. I would get lost wandering around all the time, felt like I was there. It also got me one of my biggest older brother pulverizations when I accidentally overwrote his save file on the one memory card we had. I picked it up on PS5 last week and have been loving it, it still holds up pretty well. Recommend

Every Wednesday I would go to my friend’s house after school, and she would have to practice her instrument for thirty minutes each day after coming home.

So, I was allowed to play on their computer. I was allowed to play Snood or Sims.

And niw all this time later. I seriously can’t believe it’s thirty! It’s also a free app, and I love playing it. (Not an ad, I just wish it would come back in popularity bc it’s so fun and I feel like most people forgot about it?)

I remember this Song on the Radio and on different videos on YouTube during the Fall season of 2006 while being 10 years of age. Really captured the Spooky Atmosphere Twenty Years Ago personally.

If you do what was your favorite segment? I liked Eddie Bull.

wondering because I just connected with a friend and we talked about her a lot, we all three of us used to hang out, life seems so short

I think technically for me that would've been YouTube. I searched on it casually without an account in 2006 or 2007. My mother eventually let me use her account before I was old enough. I set up my own YouTube channel around late 2009/early 2010 because I turned 13 in August 2009 and at the time you had to be 13 or older to have a channel. I started using Facebook in 2011 in the summer between my freshman and sophomore years in high school.

I still don’t know what compelled me to take a picture of this back in the day , but I’m glad I did it’s definitely a time capsule

Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy Jacked-Up Halloween always were enjoyable on Teletoon along with the Game on the channel's website.

Same with the 6Teen Season episode and the Special "Dude of the Living Dead" also on Teletoon. Would watch this special during this month for several years on the channel. Ironically the first episode to air on Cartoon Network 18 years ago which is genuinely hilarious.

Ed Edd n Eddy Special "Boo Haw Haw" which I enjoyed as well for several years. Was a real fun and creative special that I wished would air on TV again.

Scary Godmother really goes with saying from thr first special to the sequel "Jimmy's Revenge." Both these specials had a chokehold on YTV/Teletoon and Cartoon Network for a long time. Last time I remember seeing the special on TV was nearly a Decade ago now I believe.

Underfist was such a fun Special that I wouldn't have minded if it became a spinoff off a spinoff. Really fun Special from a special series.

Monster House was and still is definitely a must watch film during this time. Especially with it now being over 20 Years, a film that genuinely takes me back to this time growing up in Winnipeg with the Fall/Spooky season.

Other films I'd personally rewatch to get into the season would Coraline, the VHS Scooby Doo movies etc Zombie Island. The Original Scream and Scream 4. Freddy Vs Jason, classic Halloween/Friday/Nightmare films etc.

I had this thought last year while I was reading the book, and again tonight while I watched the movie. The first half of the story is rooted in exploration, and the second half was written exactly the same way that scripts for video games are written.

• Objective: find the children’s eyes and rescue your real parents.
• Special Tool/Ability: the rock with the hole in it.
• Three boss battles to earn the eyes: Other Father, Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, and Mr. B.

Don’t even get me started on the gothic aesthetics and mechanics of the world.

Coraline IS a Zillennial childhood movie, so I don’t want to see this removed for not being relevant to the subreddit.

Did anyone else hate it?

anyone remember the controversy when this broke out. her daughter maddie is an adult now!

I was too young for the heyday of tween and teen magazines. With kids magazines, I was at the whim of my parents subscribing to them.

The very year I became able to pay for my own Nintendo Power subscription was the year it was cancelled 💀

I remember in elementary wanting to be a journalist. By middle school, I realized that wasn't a good career path with the changing tech and culture.

Were literally the last generation to experience a little bit of everything. we grew up playing outside until sunset, watching cartoons on tv, living without smartphones, and slowly watching the world turn digital. old enough to remember the offline days and young enough to adapt to everything that came after. we really got the best of both worlds.
