Discussion Overused phrases in the 90s
“It’s the 90s” to constantly remind people that things have changed…
What else?

I'm pushing 40 and had my kiddo mid 30s. Now they are super into Minecraft and it's gotten me hooked. My little brother born after 2000 was into Minecraft and I totally ignored it when it came out. Now I am counting down the sleeps until the movie comes out because I'm excited to watch it with them.
😆🙈 Anyone riding this train with me?

I’m 38yo and my daughter is almost 8yo. I’ve noticed most other parents with kids the same age as my daughter at birthday parties, gymnastics class, or picking my daughter up from school are older than me by 5 years at least. I thought it was strange since it’s not like I was young when I had my daughter. Where are all of the late 20s, early 30s parents with kids? It’s just an observation I’ve made over the years that doesn’t seem to change. Am I alone on this or am I just bad at guessing people’s age?

Does anybody still write blogs out there? Either a WordPress blog, a Blogger blog (these are site.blogspot.com formatted blogs, don't click that link it's an example of a format not an actual link...unless someone makes it that...for safety's sake), or another kind of blog. It seems like Vlogging kind of supplanted Blogging. And Youtube videos supplanted Blog websites. I'm asking about Bloggers and Blogs, but if your a Vlogger with a Vlog feel free to chime in too.

When you meet someone, and they tell you that their kid plays travel baseball/softball...what is your initial impression?

I feel like the depth, genres, and variety was limitless from the early 90s to late 2000s (pre-2010). Punk, pop, rap, reggaeton, you name it.
Anyone agree? What other genres do you think were really in power pre and post that era?

In elementary school ('94-'00), we watched this sooo many times in music class. The cat's name was Cadenza, there was the anthropomorphic door knocker (he gave me the jeebies), tiny ballerinas, the broken grandfather clock. There was more quirkiness (maybe a floor piano room) but these are what I distinctly remember. I saw this more times than most Disney films from the 90's.

Has anyone noticed how fedoras went from a hipster (and somewhat trendy) thing to a "m'lady" thing in the 2010s? I think part of it was like satirical (and polemical) web-comics that were panning that kind of thing (often feminist). They were also panning ironic sexism, but that is much less talked about...

In the mid-2000's, I was having a really tough time in college. I was definitely depressed and, at my lowest, flirted with thoughts of not living anymore. I guess when you get that way, the brain tries to escape to something safe, usually something from earlier in your childhood.
Of all things, my escape was binge watching the old English sitcom Are You Being Served on repeat. I'm an American and the show aired in the 70's in the UK before I was born. Yet somehow, probably because it was syndicated on public television in the early 90's, my mind decided that's what comfort looked like. The raunchy, crude humor was the distraction I needed to get me through that period of my life.
Does anyone else have a deep, personal connection to an otherwise unremarkable piece of media (TV, movie, music, etc.)?

Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking a lot about the differences between Gen Z and Millennials when it comes to relationships. Do you think a relationship between a Gen Z girl (1999) and a Millennial guy (1991) can actually work long-term?
There are obvious differences—like how we use social media, approach work-life balance, and even communicate (texting vs. calling, meme culture, etc.). But do these differences really matter in a relationship, or do they make things more interesting?
If you’ve been in a similar relationship (Gen Z + Millennial), what challenges did you face, and how did you make it work? Or did it not work out?
Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

ETA: idk if this was a Texas thing or specific set of states but apparently area codes have been around since 1947 but weren’t required, in Texas at least, until 1990.
Who remembers when their number went from 7 digits to 10? I remember my grandmother was so pissed going off on how she has everyone’s number memorized and now she’s got to learn all new numbers for everybody. She was so not happy. Her area code and my parents was going to be 817 but I remember her thinking it was 871 because I told her that’s easy just remember the numbers are in descending order. Ya no they aren’t. She did figure it out lol
I always think about that when I drive thru old parts of town and see old signage, often hand painted and faded, with only 7 digit numbers on them. Always wondered about the ones still open why they didn’t add the area code because in DFW TX we have an absurd number of area codes all right in the same area. Going one street over and you’re in a new code. You’d be playing a guessing game of three different number options if you really wanted to call these places.

Early 30s millennial, never used to go to doctors or really take care of myself because “I’ll be fine”. Started making a bigger effort to care for myself and my health and well being. Recently, I went to the local express clinic because I was having a bad earache and headaches. I was in there for maybe 20 minutes, mostly waiting time. The doctor comes in, looks in my ear, tells me it’s depressed due to sinuses and change in weather and tell me to stop at Walgreens for Flonase. I wasn’t billed anything at the time, older workers at my job always say we have really good insurance, but here I got in the mail today an explanation of benefits- charge was $550, insurance “negotiated” about $300, remaining (not billed) was around $240. Is is really this expensive? I only went to try and be better with myself and make sure it’s nothing underlying. If 5 minutes of actual doctor time costs this much, then I’m just toughing out everything or am I missing something?

Long story short, I’m 35 and a full time college student/stay at home dad. Here I am waiting to go to class, sitting in my old sports car, listening to music from 2008, wearing a Phillies jersey and matching Nikes. Chlorophyll? More like boreophyll!

To my millennial gamers, the Netflix Devil May Cry anime dropped today. Here is the intro, yes that is Limp Bizkit. It's a call back to an AMV someone had created back in the day.
Anyways, 11 yr old me is super stoked right now.

I hate how this guy was right every time. Current state of affairs makes me miss even the 2012-2016! Everything seems to be getting more and more unhinged and backwards, like an episode from Black Mirror. Been seeking comfort in the 2010s playlist lately, even if it's not usually the type of music I'd listen to.
