Epic win! Lol!
All your base are belong to us.
Ceiling cat is watchingEtc, etc.
That is kids in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s, not the 1990’s
“All your base are belong to us” is from the like '92
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/all-your-base-are-belong-to-us
From Know Your Meme:
“All Your Base Are Belong to Us” is a popular engrish catchphrase that grew popular across the internet as early as in 1998. An awkward translation of “all of your bases are now under our control”, the quote originally appeared in the opening dialogue of Zero Wing, a 16-bit shoot’em up game released in 1989. Marked by poor grammar, the “All Your Base” phrase and the dialogue scene went viral on popular discussion forums in 2000, spawning thousands of image macros and flash animations featuring the slogan both on the web and in real life.
The phrase and game footage used in the meme come from the 1992 port of the 1989 side-scrolling arcade shooter Zero Wing, released on the SEGA Mega Drive.
So, the saying DOES come from 1992, but the internet meme formation did not happen until 1998.
I was wrong of when that meme started, but I do remember the meme when I was playing ROBLOX in 2008. Also, memes use to last a lot longer then they do now as well. But thank you for correctly correcting me 👍
Yeah… I’m that old man on the porch yelling about how you kids read about that shit, but I lived through it. Of course there wasn’t a meme of it in 1992 because 56 kbps was considered blazing fast internet. You could literally watch an image being drawn line by line in your web browser. Our main form of social media back then was a fucking mixtape.
Did not reach widespread knowledge until 2001
Memes weren’t a thing in 92. Or their rough equivalent certainly weren’t called memes.
No but there was ASCII art and image macros. They just didn’t really have a name.
Before 2003ish, they were called “fads”! At least on YTMND, and SA.

It’s hard to find any fault in you for that. I’m so sorry you had to go through that situation, but I’m glad you’re still here with us. You are stronger than most.
Yeah, I’m sitting here like “memes? Motherfucker most people didn’t have internet in '94”. The same year JP came out, everyone was distributing shareware copies of Doom on floppy disks.
Our copy of doom had a handwritten label
Legit.
No we had kids yelling bits from the jerky boys, adam sandler nonsense, and ceaselessly yelling lines from movies, often times ones they hadn’t even seen, but some line became what we would call a meme today.
I am not saying social media hasn’t had a negative impact on kids, but slop entertainment isn’t the big problem. Also all of the big issues of social media are just one aspect of things that have been moving in this direction for decades now.
Lines from commercials too. Wazuuuuuuuuuuup!?
Yeah, that one made me want to scratch my eyes out, after a while.
Longcat is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
That is true though.

Not the '90s
Anon wants people off his lawn.
I remember being a child back then. Every little girl knew unix.
And specifically SGI UNIX, right?
Of course; what other filthy variant would children learn? /s
Plato in 300: kids today!!! 😡
Yeah, nah. At least where I live, the 90s kid would be saying (in Portuguese) “Ô tio! Teu cu que vou pagar mico lendo aquela bagaça!”. Or roughly “Hey boomer fr fr I’m not reading that skibidi, it’s cringe shit”.
Kids in the 2010s: We are standing up to demand an end to the pollution so that we can have a future
Meanwhile, their Grandmas in the 2010s: Kids these days are too woke, they never play outside. I hate that Greasy Thunberg or whatever she calls herself, so preachy. No-one walks anywhere any more it’s so sad. This Facebook user I love posts AI pictures of kittens and says immigrants are eating our pets and universities are run by Muslim terrorists. I saw some kids outside the other day and was terrified so we’re getting the city to close the park and get rid of the bus shelters. All music sounds the same these days like it’s made in a factory, not like the real music we had - kids these days don’t even know what Motown is.

Every generation needs to distance itself from their progenitors in some original manner, language is the easiest to adapt.
Pretty sure that both kids’ characters in that movie were intentionally written to not be average of children that age at the time
Like most kids in movies.
Otherwise, no one would watch movies with kids.
Like most characters in movies, even.
Fuck it, I’ll take all the “riz”, “no cap”, “frfr” bullshit over ANY of the other slang of the last thirty years or so. At least it makes sense.
That’s on fleek
Fo shizzle
That’s one fly comment my man
Forsooth
Perchance.
based
You mean you aren’t into wazaaaaaap, piglatin, roflmao, the R word, cool beans, home skillet, etc?
It is funny how the wheel of slang makes the prior generation uncomfortable for some reason. Time waits for no one.
That’s a hella dope position
Rad, even.
Outta sight.
Bet
“Cool,” still cool after 90 years.
This generational hatred will never end.
Were millennials not brainrotted when we were younger? We watched The Annoying Orange and Charlie the Unicorn. The most subscribed YouTube channel was Fred.
Erm… You might be confusing millennials with Gen Z or something. I was 19 when annoying orange first showed up, and I’m on the younger end of millennials. Me and my friends found it pretty obnoxious.
Depending on who you ask, millennial ends around 1996. Annoying orange came around in 2009, when that portion of the ‘generation’ would be 13 years old.
I was 13 and I found it pretty obnoxious.
Same. I also found Fred annoying, which I think started around 2006. YouTube itself wasn’t a thing before 2005.
So millenials started watching YouTube around high school/college age. That’s also when faster internet started to become widespread, so you wouldn’t be getting young kids watching YouTube until much later because young parents were unlikely to be paying a premium for high speed internet. Older kids and college students tend to have less patience for stupid brain rot than younger kids, which was why things like Charlie the Unicorn and Llamas w/ Hats became somewhat popular among those age groups.
Only minorly on that front. I’m right on the youngest end of the millenials, and I was 15 when it first surfaced. It took only a couple years for Cartoon Network to pick it up, so it definitely captured an audience, though it may have been a mix of zoomers and the latest millennials. But it certainly doesn’t detract from my point, and it can definitely be substituted for stuff like Homestar Runner or Salad Fingers.
Lots of stuff back then that was obnoxious, Fred has got to be my number 1. That’s exactly as annoying as whatever is the fad now if not worse.
Annoying Orange and Charlie the Unicorn are Gen Z things. As a Millennial I was well into my teens by the time that stuff came out. My generation’s memes predate YouTube.
I’m glad that the entire millennial generation is just you. Again, I’m a late millennial and I was barely older than 10 when YouTube came out and I was watching both that and Google Video before they were acquired. That stuff doesn’t have to be just one generation only.
Um okay. No need for the hostility.
UK kids in the early 2000s also had “Dick and Dom in da Bungalow”. Basically two comedians doing funny shit to entertain kids for hours every Saturday morning. They had a game called “Bogies” which was just about the two of them going to a calm place like a library or a restaurant and seeing who could muster the courage to shout “bogies” the loudest. Honestly, it’s pretty funny, but it justly caused a lot of outrage as well as kids were emulating it all over.
Example: https://youtu.be/vt_farHgMfM
Pretty sure annoying orange was a gen Z thing, as I, a gen Z kid was addicted to annoying orange at 7 or so. I hated Fred though his voice was so damn annoying. I like his current channel though, felt crazy when I saw him as an adult and not screaming. Now he’s doing shitty vacation trips 😀👍
It makes a generation feel special if they are convinced that they are enduring something extraordinary. Every single generation has had plenty to complain about but the loudest will be the current generation of course.
Gen X here and my boomer friends in US educational circles normally pointed out the Socrates quote but they stopped doing that a few years ago. Social media has devastated the ability of young Americans to think critically according to most.
I have to imagine it’s because Socrates also believed that writing and reading information harmed our thinking. He thought that memory was the most important, and expected oral recollections of all his teachings.
…which definitely sounds like more criticism of youth 😂
“back in my day we read books, not like those young whippersnappers nowadays”
I can’t read that word without thinking about Phoenix Wright anymore.
Poor Ms. Oldbag.
I started playing with my partner recently. We’re each voice acting the characters. It’s been a wonderful experience! Just about at the end of the first game, I think we’re at the end of the final trial. I hope the second and third games are as good as the first!
>kid in a movie written by adults: “I am a distinguished reader of scientific literature”
>kid I made up in my own mind: “hurr durr I’m illiterate”
Idunno dude, seems like maybe the one writing the dialogue for the “kids in the 2020s” is the problem
Wat. Kids in the 2020s would be reciting facts from watching hours of Wild Kratts.
They watched Jurassic Park and learned what happens to kids who read books.
They survive - even when the lawyers and programmers don’t.
All kids suck. Boo
Everyone under 25 should be killed. I hear you.
But thats just an arbitrary date
Everyone over 25 should also be killed so its fair. Only people that have been born exactly 25 years ago may be safe
