The last person to die who was born in the 90’s isn’t a 90’s kid, or at least won’t remember the 90’s.
As if someone born on December 31st 1999 wouldn’t self identify as a 90’s kid
Source: I was born in 1998 and I’m nostalgic of Nirvana, a group that disbanded before I was born
If you read your history books you’ll find it was a little more than just disbanded.
I was born in 1990 and remember lots of stuff.
I remember Berlin, Challenger, and that dumb fuck Regan.
I don’t remember anything “90s kids” had because we were poor and all I had access to was PBS and some hand-me-down toys.
I didn’t even know what Nickelodeon was.
Humans, Reporters, and medical care in a hundred years?
Funny comic!
This reminds me of a movie I saw. Mr. Nobody. Jared Leto plays the last mortal human on earth in the year 2092. He’s interviewed right before his death about his life and the things he did back before humans solved mortality.
As a 90s kid I definitely feel like there’s such a huge generational gap in the past 20 years though, so much changed so rapidly since then.
Like watching MP3 players come and go. And the transition of videotapes to discs to streaming. Or watching nobody own a cellphone to the entire world not being able to go anywhere without one. As well as throwaway cameras to everyone having one in their pockets.
Pre 00s and after is such a difference in just about everything. I wonder what the pre 10s and after will be like.
We literally went from doing essays in a library to using internet and printers (at first my teachers even forbid students from using Internet as a source), heck I even wrote on a typewriter a few times
“Wikipedia is not a source, anyone can edit it! You can’t be certain anything on there is true!!”
Now wikipedia is probably the last bastion of decent information online. At minimum, a well-souced article gives you an excellent starting point.
Remember to donate to Wikipedia if you haven’t, we desperately need them to remain independently funded
Oooh, that’s a fun one. I can just barely remember some of my early research projects for school - getting source material at the library was a bear. What a time to be alive.
Pre-10s: I used google for everything and bought needless shit online. Dont trust anything you read there though.
Post-10s: I use AI for everything and buy needless shit online. Don’t trust anything you read there though.
It’s been fast like that since the end of WWII.
My parents were born in the early 60s and they saw records replaced with eight tracks and then cassettes and then CDs and then mp3s and now streaming.
Answering machines were a novelty when my parents were children and now we have cell phones.
The internet wasn’t even something you could have imagined in your wildest dreams in the 1970s.My uncle was on Wall Street in the 80s, and he distinctly remembers everyone mocking email as a passing fad later in the decade
This all hits home. And for me, in the rural US at the time, the world got a lot bigger.
We went from expensive long-distance telephone calls and local BBSes to instant access to everyone and everything.
We went from 2-lane roads to affordable(ish) flights and direct highways.
Despite where we may be today, as an early adopter of everything, I’m happy to have had a front row seat to all that.
The “you’ve got mail” guy recently died.
Beeeeeeeeee BRRRRRRRR waDONg brDONG tshhhhhhhhhhhh TSHHHHHHHHHHHPTBHPTHBBPT
Some 80’s children will remember you also could get that sound from loading data from a K-7 tape.
You got 15 minutes!
My parents
“Get off the dang computer, your grandma could call any minute!”
Go 'way mom I’m asking Jeeves! It’s for homework!
Types “boob porno sex”
Before MILF was even a term
There’s also a Meeeeeeemooooomeeeeemoooo or a Neeeeeeee-nrrrrr Neeeeee-nrrrrrr, if you will.
Finally, a genuine connection
I enjoyed this comic as much as I enjoyed being a 90’s kid.
90s kids were born in the 80s. People always get this shit wrong.
I was born in 1990. Fully a '90s kid.
I want the time I spent reading this back.
How many hours have you lost?
The punchline lands like a DNC-run election.
