Hey /r9k/, do you miss the Internet when it felt like an adventure - before it was ruined by normies and degeneracy? Older youth speak of the 90s as the time to be alive, but I say naught.

Us youth born between 1995-2000, we grew up in an era of digital pioneering, an era in which the internet, video games, the newest books, and the playground down the street all lived in complete harmony, none at the expense of the other.

Us late millenials will always remember Youtube in the days of Shoes, Charlie the Unicorn, Fred, AVGN, Nostalgia critic, Planet Unicorn Theme Song, Boxxie, and Bon qui qui, just to name a few.

We'll always remember laughing at the toddlers playing Webkinz while we thought we were so much better playing Club Penguin.
Runescape, Star Wars Battlefront, Halo - They all were pastimes.
When Green Day was cool to listen to, when the newest pop-Punk dominated our ears.
When pre-movie Spongebob and Drake and Josh were shows of choice.
A world that had yet to be explored, a world that looked so fun and optimistic.

How I wish to experience that era all over again.

I don't think a specific generation "had a better childhood" than others
pretty sure everyone has nostalgia for their youth, no matter the era, because that's when you were most easily influenced by anything, everything was new and your view of the world was optimistic and full of hope

This upcoming generation however, is nostalgic for their youth, while still being youths. You can see it on their social medias and in speaking to them in passing. It is for them that we should weep, for they long for the days of freedom as children.

born in 85 (yes I'm 30). I honestly believe humanity peaked in 1999. The future looks shitty and bleak and I have pondered ending my life early so I don't have to live through the impending decline/annihilation of humans.
