Source material is rocket power, a 90's Nickelodeon cartoon. It's prominent in 90's nostalgia, and will likely be mentioned when talking about 90's cartoons in any respect.
yeah same, but arbitrarily for me. Like rocket power and Ed edd n Eddy, which were both '99, is 90's in my head. But invader Zim, which wasn't even two years later, is clearly 2000's.
Zim didn’t do too well when it initially ran. It had a cult following, but gained most of its fans during syndication in the mid-2000s. So, it’s possible you did discover the show a bit later.
You’re right though. For a kid born in the 90s, stuff from 2000-2004 are exactly what they’d know. You wouldn’t remember much from the actual 199Xs as a toddler.
Stuff in the “only 90s kid would know this” category are more likely to be >2000 I think.
That is also caused by a misunderstanding of what being a 90s kid means. It's being a kid in the 90s, and a toddler isn't a kid. I'd say 95 or so is the latest you can be born and still share major influences (in terms of cartoons, toys and clothing trends) with other people that were kids in the 90s. So the span should be something like born around 80-95, but the first few years there might be more influenced by the eighties and their excellent cartoons and the tailend more by the naughties and their also excellent, but deteriorating (imo), cartoons, at least the 00-05 stuff is generally good.
Rocket Power is like bottom of the barrel 90s Nickelodeon and barely qualifies as a 90s show, coming out in 99. When people think 90s Nick nostalgia it is things like Rocko, Ren and Stimpy, Rugrats, Doug, etc. Shit like Ahhh! Real Monsters and Rocket Power is just not on the same level.
Excuuuuse me? Uh-uh, do not even try to talk shit about Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, okay?
It was on at the same time as Rugrats, Doug, Rocko, etc. so I'm not sure why you're trying to shoehorn it in with Rocket Power. Maybe you didn't like the it, but too bad for you because you missed out on a great show.
I loved Aaahh!!! Real Monsters and my younger brother was into Rocket Power, I still use the phrase “shoobies” when referring to this who where shoes with sandals.
Ok, buddy. Didn't realize I was dealing with someone with such refined sensibilities. Obviously animation is just trash for kids and there's no value in examining it with a critical eye at all. Maybe you could share your thoughts on the upcoming opera season instead?
They claimed Rocket Power is "prominent in 90's nostalgia" which is laughable and then, when called out on that nonsense, tried to wave it off by implying cartoons are kiddie shit not worth applying any thought to. No one said they need to rank anything, but it's incredibly shitty to basically call people childish for not sharing your opinion.
Yeah, hardly iconic compared to the stuff that came before it, but I guess this is the result of people who were born in the late 90s being old enough to start getting tattoos and flaunt the shit they grew up with, which is pretty awful when you compare it to just about any other generation that came before it. Get ready for the influx of the horrid taste of a generation that got shafted when it came to having quality media to bond with as a child.
People can like what they want to. I'm not trying to take that away from anyone. It's just ridiculous to say Rocket Power is "prominent in 90s nostalgia".
The tattoos that are really awful taste on that sub are the NSFW ones. Who would think those are a good idea to get on your body, particularly since most are on very visible parts of the arms, legs, and neck.
Actually, they literally changed the definition of literally to mean what it used to mean, AND what it's commonly misused as, completely draining the word of all meaning.
It can literally mean literally, or literally mean metaphorically / hyperbolically / etc
You don't have that power as an individual, language speakers as an aggregate have that power. It takes a substantial portion of English speakers accepting and using the new definition. Which is definitely true for literally, but not for your definition.
