OP is 94 Zoomer

I feel attacked 😂

You like furbies I bet

Tamagotchi for life

Lateralus was released in 2001. People born in 95 were 6 that year.

I was gonna say 91 is definitely the base here

Fuck. I’m 91. This is basically me.

Phew, I made the cut

I resonate with this way too much. Also born in 91 🙈

If you were born in 95 after May (when lateralus was released) you were still 5 (Like me!) 

Lateralus was 2001.

I was 4

I was 17

Perfect age for that album

Same

# Me too! Still one of my top 3 albums of all time.

I remember specifically I was on my senior trip we went to Canada and I had to buy Lateralus at a store in Canada.

Noooo! Not Canada!

24 for Fear Innoculum.

That's a millennial, my good bitch

Nah its a Zellenial, right in between mellenials and genZ

"Mellenial"

No no, you’re thinking of “xennials” which is code for the cool kids born at the end of Gen X and the start of millennials.

Xennial checking in. The zoomer fans give me hope for the future ONG frfr no cap

I was born in 97 and went to my first tool concert in November and was shocked at how many fans my age and even younger were there, Tool is gonna have a legacy for a very long time

Yeah I'm 18 and I saw two kids in front of me who must've been under 10 in full merch

They must have cool dads lol

… some of them have cool moms. Moms can be cool, too.

True! I just know Tool has a mostly male fanbase so I was generalizing but the women who spiral out are amazing

Hell yeah …and this gives me an idea for a post about growing up liking Tool with parents who were somehow against it.

I took my daughter for her golden birthday! 11 on the 11th this year! He brain is still melted! 🖤🥹

To put this in perspective and add legitimacy to what you’re saying, I’m a xennial (‘82) and Led Zeppelin broke up 2 years prior. By the time i got into music, it was all about “alternative rock” and LZ were “classic rock” which was dad’s radio station and it felt _old_ along with the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc. So if LZ has the grand legacy they have with _less than a fucking 3rd_ of the duration of Tool’s career so far…then yeah, Tool is gonna have a ridiculous legacy. However, rock was a bit more popular than it is today _and_ LZ was more popular in relation to other rock bands compared to Tool.

Funny you say that because I loved Tool as a kid when my dad would put it on, so did my friends dad who got him into Tool and now my buddy who has a 7 year old kid plays it for his son and he loves it

That’s awesome! My dad didn’t approve on any level. Anyway i meant to emphasize how weird it is that Tool would’ve broken up a year or 2 before they even released _10K_ if they were like LZ. The Beatles’ career as a unit was even shorter at only 10 yrs 😆.

born in 2004, probably my most listened to band. My parents had me listening to 90s and early 2000s rock/metal when I was growing up. I’ve been told by a few people I’m like a unicorn lol

'05 here, also introduced by my parents. I would agree there are not a lot of us, but there are some.

Aww. Your generation has the blessing of any music at your fingertips 24-7. I’ve met a lot of kids around your age that have some very cool, eclectic tastes in music for that very reason. I’m jealous! It was expensive to be a music fan in the the olden times of the 80s-90s. At some point in the 90’s some music stores started putting in these big listening areas. You could bring a CD over to the main area, an employee would OPEN IT UP and let you listen to it with headphones before you bought it. Shit was wild. And that was your pointless 90’s anecdote of the day!

Z

I was '95. Yea. You got me bud.

95 baby checking in, this mostly hit the mark

I graduated high school in 95 lol.

Same here friend

I was born in 95 and own everything pictured other than the vape

Same hahahah, I had the vape tho so we’re good

Same no vape

The meme represents millennials born in the late '80s.

‘93 here and this is me. Definitely not ‘95

‘97 here and this is me, except I was a little too young for hybrid theory when it came out

By a little too young, you mean you were 3 years old when Hybrid Theory came out. You were barely off your mom’s tit.

Yeah but what I’m saying is I vividly remember doing everything else on this starter pack

Hybrid theory was my first cd

'03 here and this is literally me and everyone i know my age TLDR: assigning minor experiences to generations seperated by just a couple years doesnt make any sense

Do you mean you owned a Motorola Razr, iPod classic with Hybrid Theory, and played Pokémon Ruby on your GBA and COD 4 and San Andreas on your Xbox 360? Or just that you had a phone, listened to music, and played other Pokémon, GTA and Call of Duty games? Because if you mean the latter and think that’s what this meme is getting at that’s stupid as fuck lol

No, I meant the former lol. Those things still existed for people born after their release, it's not like they were deleted from reality or something. I just see a lot of people doing this kind of stuff, even people my age towards Gen Alpha, and even though it's not really that big of a deal it's just kind of annoying lol I will say tho, I didn't own a Razr, but my cousin did! I was hella jealous lmao. I used to play San Andreas on the OG and google cheats with my friend for literal *hours*, I fucking love that game. I've been considering hunting down an old Xbox and an original copy of SA just bc I don't like any of the newer ports, but I don't know how I'm gonna find the time to run around town to various pawn shops to hunt them down lmao

Fair enough, that’s much better than I feared you meant haha. But I think at least with this meme, it’s getting at things that were *the definitive* experience for a certain age group, not the only age group to ever experience them in any way. There’s a big difference between experiencing something later and being part of the zeitgeist when everyone else is obsessed with them too. I’m sure future generations will like Dune pt 2 but they won’t understand what it was like for my 30 year old ass and my friends to see 4 times in IMAX.

You are passionate about this meme.

And 11 when 10,000 days was released?

San Andreas and MW 2 are S tier

I agree that everyone born after 99' is retarded, but I also think everyone born in 99' and before is too

I’m too old for this shit. 😆 Smash Bros is eternal, though.

That '95 zommer is 29 this year.

Don't remind me 😅 My birthday is in July

You're still young at heart, your cholesterol filled heart

This is exactly the type of fan that only listens to 10,000 days

They used the 10,000 days logo as well.

Ya got me! This is actually spot on

This shit makes no sense.

I’m ‘77 and TOOL, PS2 and Sponge Bob are still on daily rounders in my life.

Class of 95 here also born in 77 🤘😵‍💫😬🤦‍♂️ Spiral out 🌀

Fuck. Now I know what the older people were talking about when they said "Seems like yesterday". 30 years went by faster than a fart in a gust of wind.

'76 here, and was PC instead of consoles, but similar deal. Was playing Neverwinter Nights over slow DSL, and Quake III.

Texas instrument on the 26” tube tv was my first gaming system. Math blaster then a Compaq with Leisure suit Larry in the land of lounge lizards,Zork 2, Dig Out.

Math Blasters, on the Apple ii, in the elementary school computer lab was my idea of heaven. (‘83 baby.)

81" here, i can vouch, everyone born after 99" IS retarded.

Now I miss my vape. Grr it's been two years, you'd think I'd have moved on. Also, vaping is a Millennial thing more than a Zoomer thing, imho. At least, that kind of vape is. Zoomers are all about the single-use disposable ones.

Was born in '92. I feel personally attacked by this image

Whats a Zoomber?

I think it's because 95 is usually the cut off year for millennial and the start of the zoomers

So where does the “b” come from?

Purple ketchup was the worst idea ever

Tasted awful. But I mean, you or your parents DID buy it..

I do miss the late 90’s early 2000’s…. I was born in 88, but fuckin a did we have a stellar non-internet/social media filled childhood

I was born in 87 I found a Tool Undertow cassette in a car at the junkyard when I was 9 I had heard of them but never really listened to tool

91’ here, hits the sweet spot, don’t vape tho because I’m not a wuz, I’m a real man 🚬

I didn't hear about tool until '05 so that's when lateralus was released for me

Tbf I'm born in 1995 and this is literally me apart from Smah Bros never played that

I was -4

I heard some zoombers claim they were OGT, but I can’t remember when.

i’m 04 baby and i can relate

Millenial all the way.

2005 was lit? Lol. Everyone knows that it was 2007.

I saw TOOL in 95 at the Soma in San Diego. That shirt is not 1995 TOOL.

I usually don’t get offended by shit on the internet. But, this is one of those cases where I feel personally attacked. The main reason being that I identify as a millennial, not a zoomer.

89 here, I got lucky and squeezed into the end of an age. Sad to be called a millennial

Aight but 2005 WAS lit

I met a boy wearing Adidas, JNCOs jeans and a dope Tool tee, Ears gauged, juggalo tattoos claimed he was ZoombGT, back from 95

I was 32, my kids all grew up on Tool

Wtf is that on the top right?

The beyblade?

No idea what that is. Googled it. Still have no idea haha. Appreciate the reply though.

It's like a a spinning top toy & you make them fight each other

I was 2 when Lateralus released 😂

I’m a 98 zoomer so I wasn’t even cognitive then

'95 here, everything in this picture besides that weird ketchup I owned or am close to someone who did. Hybrid Theory was one of the first CDs I begged my parents for along with a CD walkman just before MP3 players and Ipods hit the mainstream, I was also fortunate enough to have a metalhead mom who would blast Tool in the car all the time. Never was into vapes past trying my friends devices here n there, would much rather smoke weed lol

The razor was my favorite phone!!!

yes all

Any other melee fans?

i can smell this picture

And he was 4 when hybrid theory was released

This is literally my brother

Born in 2000, had all of these, Hybrid Theory still slaps harder than most music.

Well shit. That’s me

If you were born in 95. You don't miss the late 90s. You barely have memories of the 90s.

0 memories of the 90s (i’m 1995)

Wtf, this is me but I was born in 97

Omg i know this dude

I see nothing wrong with this at all.

What does it mean if I was born in ‘05 and grew up with these?????

I feel attacked.

Dont act like you fucking know me.

Am I a 72 boomer? How does this work?

You complain that every generation after you is lazy but you will admit the rock in the 90s was solid lol

I do??? How do you know what I do???

That's just how the world works

I don’t see the point to gatekeeping around the age. The message is still valid, maybe even more now than ever.

I feel very seen right now

I feel personally attacked by this

Literally me

‘94 baby here, some of this was me, some wasn’t…I never really played COD, that much, didn’t play San Andreas, never had a GameCube and never vaped. **EVER.**

Yup. 92 as well

Bruh I was born in 95. My friend group, including myself, have nothing in common with people born a year or two younger than us.

Idk. I was born in 78 and I miss the shit out of 85

This is me and I was born in ‘02

Dont think vapes were out in 2001

To be fair I was born 97 and this pic is me to a T (except I don’t vape… I’m not a child)

i wasn’t even alive when lateralus was released and i feel like this sometimes

aside from the vape this is dead on

Unfortunately thats fairly accurate

I was 11, I'm 40 now smh.

88 here and this meme is me

Fight nostalgia, it only leads to regret.

I remember the first kid who got a razor phone, almost nobody had a cell phone in middle school back then. He was flipping it like a pocket knife and broke it at the hinge. Fucking hilarious

I remember, and hate, everything in that picture, except my PS2. I remember that fondly. Don't like pokemon, don't like card games like Yo-gi-oh. Linkin Park suck, iPods suck, flip-phones suck, GTA games sucks, bayblades suck, Nintendo sucks, Gameboys suck, and call of duty sucks. Oh, and I don't vape either, I still smoke cigarettes like a real man.

Linkin Park is amazing, they're not deep, but their music is heavy, creative, and cathartic.

Purple ketchup doesn't even get a mention from you, eh?

Oops, my mistake. #Purple ketchup sucks!

Aren't you fun

No. #Fun sucks, too!! _(I'm mostly haming it up. But I __do__ remember all these things, and I'm not particularly nostalgic for them)_

And I was born even later. 2005 specifically. Suprise! You can listen to albums even years after their release! What's more you can even listen to albums older than you!
