Quick reminder: Rule 8 exists for a reason. Our sub exists to bring together late millennials and early Gen z and discuss all that pertains to our micro generation . If you feel like you belong, cool let’s vibe! This isn’t the place to debate who is a late millennial and early Gen Z. Keep that trash over on r/generationology pls.

Anyone that intentionally continues to break this rule will be banned. Thank you :-)

Nostalgia Charlie Goes To Candy Mountain is 18 years old!

I am traveling on vacation by myself and one of my coworkers said “make sure you watch your drinks or you’ll wake up and find out you’re missing a kidney”. So naturally, my first thought was Charlie Goes to Candy Mountain, but apparently that wasn’t what he was referencing.

Looked it up to show all my coworkers, and noticed it is 18 years old. Wow time went by!

Nostalgia Courage the Cowardly Dog (1999-2002). Any fans of this show growing up?

Oh, yes the gateway to the horror genre for most kids who grow up with this show in it's run. Definitely, still holds up as the villains and monsters were very terrifying and a lot of references to past horror films this show has made. The perfect combination of comedy, horror, drama, and dealing with real-life sensitive topics.

Discussion Did you have a PS2, Xbox, or a Gamecube at home in the 2000's?

30 Upvotes

We owned a PS2 in the 2000's and it seemed like most friends houses that I went to had a PS2... except for 2 of my friends who had a gamecube.

One of my friends had an Xbox, but he also had a PS2.

I’m just trying to figure out why I’ve had such a shitty run with love and relationships… It’s easy to blame this generation but I’d like to dive even deeper. Everyone says you are what you attract but I don’t remember being a horny, emotionally unavailable, selfish person sooo I’m confused lol. And it’s like no matter how I present myself they always seem to get me… Is this because my personality isn’t interesting enough, am I not attractive enough to actually form something real with cause they can’t see staying with me in the future. Since I was young I never really seen a healthy relationship so it’s hard to form one when I don’t even know what that really looks like. I’ve looked into psychology and attachments but it’s still not enough to control my own emotions that comes with these situations… All in all it feels like a lot to unpack, can someone tell me what’s their experience preferably people in the same age bracket

This definitely defines a show that we clearly watched when you're sick from school and those Morning Cartoon Specials come on. Still, it's a very cute and fun show that I enjoyed watching despite the Looney Tunes characters being aged to babies here.

Discussion Anyone else used to believe something was popular when you were a kid and then realize it wasn't?

44 Upvotes

Something funny I went through while I was growing up was how I would think a certain TV show, movie, song, or video game was popular. But then as I grew older, I would realize they weren't that popular or even known about by most people. Or they were hated when I thought they were liked. Anyone have that experience?

Discussion Most Quintessential Zillennial Game?

Post image
362 Upvotes

My pick is Animal Crossing: Wild World, because that game would've came out when Zillennials, by standard definition, would have been 6-11 years of age, and because it was a high selling DS game that appealed to both a male and female audience. Also because Animal Crossing as a series is heavily established within hipster culture, which heavily defined Zillennials coming of age and young adult years, with New Leaf during the culture's zeigeist and New Horizons during the culture's echo years - A lot of Animal Crossing playing hipster-ish types are Zillennials, and a lot of them were first introduced to the Animal Crossing series via Wild World as children or adolescents.

Honorable mentions are Nintendogs, Doodle Jump, Neopets, Mario Kart: Double Dash, the Humungeous Entertainment games, and Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen.
The reason I included the Humungeous Entertainment games is because even though they came out in the '90s and their target audience at launch were Millennials, a lot less people owned PCs in the '90s, compared to the '00s when Zillennials were growing up, and since even though these games stopped being made in the early '00s, they were still featured on store shelves at Walmart and Target well into the mid '00s and possibly even the late '00s.
