I think the time has come for me to sound off on all you children here on Tumblr, stealing MY culture. If you were born in the early 80s, or mid 80s, you know what I’m talking about.

Let’s get some shit really fucking straight - most of you here on Tumblr were born in the 90s, and don’t know a damn thing about half the stuff you’re reblogging, posting and stealing from other people. You’re just hitting the re-blog button and typing, “OMG!”

OH EM GEE what motherfucker? Like you know shit about what you’re talking about? Because you don’t. If you were born in the early to mid 90s, you were too young to remember anything of consequence that happened. I know this, because I can do fucking math.

A few of your biggest offenses…

  • What the fuck do you know about Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis? Both were released in 1991. If you’re 14, 15, 16, or 17 - you weren’t even fucking alive when it came out. If you’re 18-21, you were too young to really appreciate the improvement it meant over the original Nintendo.
  • On that note, most of you were too young to really appreciate the original Playstation OR N64.The Playstation came out in 1995, and the N64 came out in 1996 (late ‘96 at that). So even if you were born in the early 90s, you wouldn’t have been old enough to really understand it. By the time you were old enough, it was 2000, and the Playstation 2 was out.
  • The Yak-Bak. I’ve seen numerous references to it lately. Look 90s kids - it was a shitty recorder. Us 80s kids know. But it was OUR shitty recorder. Quit trying to steal our fucking toys.
  • Babe, Hook, Toy Story, Milo & Otis, The Secret of Nimh, The Sandlot, A Goofy Movie, Good Burger… those movies belong to 80s kids. They are not yours to co-opt. When you’re my age, you’ll look back and remember how silly Hannah Montana was - but until you’re my age, back the fuck off my shit.
  • The Spice Girls were something that girls of MY generation listened to. Your older sisters might have gotten down to Sporty Spice, but YOU did not.
  • Tomagotchi / Gigapets.That was something WE had. You aren’t old enough to remember girls walking around with like 10 of those motherfuckers on ONE keychain.
  • AMAZINGLY baggy jeans. My friends and I all had JNCO’s or Lee Pipes. You 80s kids don’t know a damn thing about that.
  • Along the lines of baggy jeans… back in the early 90s, we wore overalls. I see you all posting pictures of folks back in the early 90s with all this colorful, neon nonsense, but you forget OVERALLS. That shows you didn’t really live it. You don’t know what the fuck you’re reblogging. I used to wear my overalls over one shoulder, leaving one strap undone. Whatchu know ‘bout that?
  • The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. You kids watch reruns. I watched the original episodes. You laugh at how silly his clothes are. We actually wore that shit, just so you know.
  • I’ve noticed you only try to adopt the cool shit. None of you fuckers are adopting all the “Nu-Metal” that spun out of the 90s. If you’re gonna steal some of it, steal all of it.And while people my age will claim they never liked Korn, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, etc… of course they did. We all did. I had Limp Bizkit’s shit in my CD player. I had a few Korn albums. C’mon… we all did.
  • Remember Magic cards? Y’all need to try stealing that shit. I still know some people that think it’s cool. PLEASE, PLEASE steal Magic. It’s interfering with the sex lives of some old friends of mine.
  • I haven’t seen you fuckers one-up us yet on school shootings. Us 80s kids OWN school shootings. It was OUR generation that shot up Columbine, and it was OUR generation that shot up Virginia Tech. Now that you’ve got Call of Duty, you don’t need to actually shoot people I guess…
  • LA Gear light-up shoes. That was something 80s kids had. You don’t know shit about it.

I could go on forever… but here’s my point. Seriously… quit stealing OUR shit. You 90s kids have your own culture. It sucks, but at least it’s yours. I know my shit is cooler, but if you steal it, we’re gonna have some problems.

Sincerely,

…………….what the fuck……

didn’t even read it. you’re dumb.

I just laughed when I read this.  I’ll go from bottom to top.

  • Why would you want to even compare the amount of school shootings our generations have had?  Isn’t that something to be ashamed of?
  • Who honestly cares what music you or we like?  Many people today that didn’t grow up during the Beatles’ generation like the Beatles.  So what’s the difference if some people like bands that started during ‘your’ generation.
  • Actually, we don’t laugh at his clothing, we laugh because Will Smith is legitimately funny.
  • I know that wearing overalls with one strap hanging down looks stupid and that I wore them when I was a little kid.
  • The Goofy Movie, Milo & Otis, Toy Story, these movies don’t belong to YOU. You seriously have something wrong with you if you think that by us simply watching movies that came out in the 80s has something to do with us ‘stealing’ your culture.  We’ve all watched them and we all think they’re cute and funny movies.  What is the problem with that?
  • This is the one I have the most problem with.  Nintendo 64 -_- I played Star Wars, Donkey Kong, Pokemon frequently as a kid and loved that system dearly.  Just because it came out in the 80s doesn’t mean we can’t all love it.  You don’t know anything -_-

Lol.  I probably sound so silly listing things that I found wrong with these statements, but clearly she’s just an angsty 80s girl ;D

As a 90’s kid, I was able to utilize my N64 and Sega Genesis to the fullest, especially during summer vacations. In fact, I loved my Sega so much, we replaced it twice when it stopped working so I could play Sonic and Lion King on it. Just because we weren’t around when it initially came out does not mean that we can’t appreciate it. That’s like saying someone can’t appreciate a computer because they weren’t born when they first came out.

I could say so much more about your stupidity, but Emily pretty much hit some good points and I’m tired. I think people really just need to chill out and stop craving “individuality.”

Ignorance is the root of all ignorance.

Don’t be a culture-hog.

p.s. you’re a big jerk to make school shootings a competition. people died.
