    We’re all kids. We just have responsibility now so we have to pretend we don’t want to sit around and play with Legos all day. None of us have “figured it out” and the only reason it seemed like adults knew what they were doing when we were kids was because adults were old enough to have fucked everything up at least once.

    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.

    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.

    Born in ‘81. The ‘90s were my teenage years.

    I’m just a ‘90s kid with a rapidly greying beard.

    I’m 1983 and I barely remember anything from the 80s aside from kindergarten

    I guess you could say I was bootstrapped in the 80s and formed in the 90s

      Same year here. We are xenials, to early for millenials, to late for Gen-X. We only strive the real 80s and be the real 90s kids.

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

      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.
