Also can confirm. Just turned 30, was born in 93 and don’t remember all that much about the 90s. I remember a decent amount of the late 90s, but that’s really part of the 2000s. The early 90s is a totally different thing, and it’s the 90s people always describe. Late 90s and 2000s are the matrix vibe.

You understand this timeline really well for someone who didn’t really experience the 90s.

It went from hair metal to grunge to pop punk and rap-metal across the decade.

Also here to confirm, I just turned 18 and I was born in 80 and I just graduated high school and my whole life is ahead of me and I’m looking forward to the future tech of the 2000s.

Wait, what fucking year is it?

I would think it was based on your years being a kid, not a teenager. I was born in 89, so when I think of being a kid most of that happened in the 90s although obviously it bled into the 00s too.

I always think of teenager as the formative years that influence the adult. So when I hear such and such a time kid I think its refering to that time even though its sorta just past the kid years. I feel like when your a kid your just sorta a kid and not as plugged into whats going around timeline wise and then like preteen you are sorta getting an idea but mostly just imitating or hero worshiping. Teen seems like when really started deciding what they liked and did not like. so rebellion and obsessions and such. Granted people change a lot from that time to but to me it feels the most about when a time periods. I dunno. Lets say flavor really sets in.

I just walked up 5 stairs and on each step heard/felt a crunchy/crinkely bone sound in my left knee socket accompanied by a slight shooting pain.

Somebody 30 years old is NOT a 90s kid. They barely would have been old enough to remember the last part of the 90s. They’d be an early 2000s kid.

People always get this wrong. What decade kid you were isn’t when you were born, it’s when you grew up. When you were like 8-16ish years old.

Hey Arnold 1996

Dexter’s Lab 1995

Catdog 1998

Animaniacs 1993

These are all classic 90’s kid shows

If you were 16 in 1990 I doubt you watched much of these shows

I was born in 1990

I still remember watching Legends of the Hidden Temple that aired 93 to 95

I grew up on all the 90’s shows

I’m turning 34

I would definitely consider myself a 90’s kid

Of course if you were born in December of 1999 that’s a lot different

Like my brother was born in 1996 and he didn’t watch a lot of 90’s shows. Not really a 90’s kid

But someone that is 30 today was born in 93 and that’s getting close to the cut off.

I have two degrees from a university. I went in 2008.

If you were 16 in 1990 you would have been 21 years old when Dexter’s Lab came out.

I know when I was 21 I wasn’t watching the newest “kid” show on nickelodeon

Star Wars Memes

!starwarsmemes@lemmy.world

Create post

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It’s not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Technical note: if you’re coming from another star system and are getting a “Subscription pending” message when trying to dock, that’s just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

==========

IMPORTANT

Do not post the “good friend” or similar copypasta

==========

Special days!

Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.

Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day… Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!risa@startrek.website

Separatist systems:

!didyoueverhear@lemmy.world

!prequelmemes@lemmy.ml

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwars@lemmy.world

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

==========

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you’re looking here for rules, you’re probably someone who doesn’t need to have them spelled out. You’re fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that’s meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart… Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it’s a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn’t concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it’s about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
