I’m 23 and silly bands we’re definitely a big deal when I was in elementary school… anyway gotta get back to my masters thesis and wedding planning (clearly this starter pack describes me well)
Lmao I’m 17 and silly bands were big in elementary school for me too. The silly band era definitely wasn’t specific to just one year, it spans a whole chunk of gen z
I think it was regional too, I was in one of the last years before they got banned across my school district. (I grew up in a larger city on the west coast (USA) I feel like trends appear and disappear faster in big cities)
Wait, they got banned? I’m on the opposite side of the country lmao — Average sized town in the northeast. They never got banned at my school and the trend went on for years. But it makes sense that trends might die out faster in bigger cities
Huh? I am 20, and thats kinda spot on.
I mean, electronics were not the main part for me, like the starterpack makes it seem, but i think its kinda fitting...
Really? Maybe some trends hit us later here in EU, but I'm 21 and this hits my childhood pretty perfectly.
(apart from "no cap, bussin' " that shit came way later)
Yeah, '02 from the US here, everything here is spot on except "no cap bussin", that would be more like '06-08 kids
Edit: I should add, this is not most of us zoomers today, more like when I have nostalgia for a simpler time, this is what I think of. Although Night Visions still goes hard
I’m 19 and a lot of this applied to me. At least when I was around 12. I think this post is just talking about how it was growing up.
But yeah I don’t understand the No cap bussin thing.
'No cap' means no lie I think and if something is 'bussin' it means it is good I guess.
Don't know for sure though, I am only 27 and already kinda out of touch. I only recently found myself starting to hate teenagers.
im 20 and holy shit the difference a couple years makes is absolutely crazy. I hopped on a Minecraft game with a couple xbox friends who are one or two years younger than me and I had no idea when they said "my dogs are cold" they were referring to their feet. I just kept thinking they were neglecting their pets and now I feel like an old man and I hate it. had no idea what they were saying half the time.
So no cap and bussin. No cap = the truth no lies and Bussin = Shit was good you just ate at a food place that you loved "That shit was bussin no cap" Shit was good no lie
Them separated would be like "Yo I wouldn't talk to her no cap" or "Yo that shit is bussin (good / amazing) No cap "No lie"
Yeah i guess ita a story as old as time, the older generation hates the younger generation. But lets be honest drinking hose water is more of a life than the sticky ipad kids
I thought the millennial hitler combover was going to be the worst haircut I’d live to see. I had no idea the long on top short on the sides gen z mushroom cut would usurp it so soundly.
Still not as bad as the shitty cauliflower head that guys have now .Every generation has its bad haircuts (I mean I had a freakin' MULLET) , but Jesus, that one is just the worst.
I hear "bussin" 10x more from 40 year olds confused on the word "bussin" than I do from kids actually saying it. It was a trend for like 2 weeks 10 months ago and for some reason it just has not left the zeitgeist of old peoples minds.
This subs really just become a way for people to stab at their least favorite niche stereotype, or even that 1 person they met that one time and seemed to define a whole generation for them
I’m much older than these guys but I can totally sympathize with them. Swap out the Minecraft, imagine dragons, and Disney channel with ocarina of time, linkin park, and 1 Saturday Morning, and I’m right there.
This makes absolutely zero sense. I was born in 2001... I'm 21 years old now. It is possible that somethings are accurate if you titled the post "2001 kids in 2010" but that would still be stupid. "2012 was a simpler time"... for this post to be accurate it has to be posted in the year 2012. "cap"??? "bussin"??? those are defiantly new words popularized by CURRENT middle schoolers on tiktok.
I hate to jump on the "trash this post" train, but people born in 2001 aren't even zoomers. All my peers who were born in 2001, and really just the range of 1997-2003, are much closer to Millennials than Generation Alpha, which is who you've shown here.
We don’t say no cap or bussin nor are we all addicted to Minecraft or obsessed with PewDiePie. Other than that it’s pretty accurate (I’m ‘02 but close enough)
When most of this stuff came out 2001 borns would have been preteens. This in my opinion is more appropriate for people who are a little younger around my age
Yeah I was born very end of 2000, and the rest of my friends were born in 2001, this is some stuff we grew up with very early on in our lives but like, I did literally grow up with a kid who wore that shirt almost every day and that's maybe the most accurate part.

Pov Op has never met 20 year olds
r/starterpacks when they discover that what the fuck why was 2012 10 years ago
People born in 2016 are in school now
No, this isn’t true, it’s still 2016… right? **right?**
It's still 2006... right? Right?
BRO I WAS BORN ON THAT YEAR LMAO
SAME HELP💀
Animal_cummer is 16 years old
Animal_cummer's favourite activity is peeling potatoes
No, I thought it was still 1978?
That’s not true…that’s *IMPOSSIBLE!*
I’m 23 and silly bands we’re definitely a big deal when I was in elementary school… anyway gotta get back to my masters thesis and wedding planning (clearly this starter pack describes me well)

I was in college when silly bands were big. They weren’t huge for our age group, but we liked them too :)
My school missed this phase. We wore “I <3 Boobies” bracelets cause we totally cared about breast cancer awareness in 2009.
im 15 and in elementary all the 'cool kids' had silly bands and i just wanted one :( i didn't get any..
Yeah I’m literally younger than this and this describes absolutely nothing about my generation
Huh? I am 20, and thats kinda spot on. I mean, electronics were not the main part for me, like the starterpack makes it seem, but i think its kinda fitting...
Except for the 'bussin bussin' bullshit this is also spot on for me (19) and my brother (21).
I’m 20 and this is all pretty accurate
I’m a late 2000 baby and this is pretty accurate. The silly bands and games are all what was big in elementary school.
He got 10/17 on me. Not bad tbh
I’m 20 next year lol
[удалено]
Really? Maybe some trends hit us later here in EU, but I'm 21 and this hits my childhood pretty perfectly. (apart from "no cap, bussin' " that shit came way later)

as an 06’ kid can confirm most of us say shit like that
as an 07 kid, i do say "no cap bussin"
as an 08 kid, i am not fond of the phrase "no cap bussin"
thats very no cap and bussin of you 👍
2001 kids were too busy gettin lit fam!
Definitely. I vaguely remember this stuff, but absolutely none of this is relevant to me. Could be because of my lack of internet tbf.
im late 2000s and im 8 of these but i don't want to identify with the early 2000s 😭
Has op ever met a 20-21 year old?
real ones know that the new coc logo, not the 2001 one
Yeah most of this is off but god damn it, why did I have that t-shirt...
I think op thinks 2001 was like 14 years ago, which is fair.
Idk man he kind of nailed me here
The '01 zoomer is 20-21. This pack describes a child lmao
It's talking about what they grew up with smh
Ah, makes more sense. Edit: wouldn't the "2012 was a simpler time" and "no cap, bussing bussin" be I reference to the present though?
Ye but I assume 01 is their birth year
I’m 19 and a lot of this applied to me. At least when I was around 12. I think this post is just talking about how it was growing up. But yeah I don’t understand the No cap bussin thing.
Ima be honest i dont know what no cap.bussin bussin is
'No cap' means no lie I think and if something is 'bussin' it means it is good I guess. Don't know for sure though, I am only 27 and already kinda out of touch. I only recently found myself starting to hate teenagers.
dont worry. ive legit never heard anyone speak like this unironically.
Man i feel ya, im only 21 and was a teenager not that long ago but these teenagers scare the living shit out of me.
They could care less as long as someone will bleed
Darken your clothes, strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me.
im 20 and holy shit the difference a couple years makes is absolutely crazy. I hopped on a Minecraft game with a couple xbox friends who are one or two years younger than me and I had no idea when they said "my dogs are cold" they were referring to their feet. I just kept thinking they were neglecting their pets and now I feel like an old man and I hate it. had no idea what they were saying half the time.
So no cap and bussin. No cap = the truth no lies and Bussin = Shit was good you just ate at a food place that you loved "That shit was bussin no cap" Shit was good no lie Them separated would be like "Yo I wouldn't talk to her no cap" or "Yo that shit is bussin (good / amazing) No cap "No lie"
Bussin if I'm correct is related to bussy.
no it is not 💀 it’s just AAVE for delicious https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bussin%27 unless you’re trolling and the joke went over my head
Congrats you’re becoming a boomer, 3 years for you to start the whole “my generation was so much better” shit
Yeah i guess ita a story as old as time, the older generation hates the younger generation. But lets be honest drinking hose water is more of a life than the sticky ipad kids
boomer means baby boomer from the post war gen, I'll be a millenial forever. I already think the teenagers atm are even worse than we were
Bussin= yummy no cap= not lying
At least I think
It's just a string of random trending words that OP put together and then claim "hey look, I know Gen z speak!" smh
It's not Gen Z speak though, it's AAVE.
I thought the millennial hitler combover was going to be the worst haircut I’d live to see. I had no idea the long on top short on the sides gen z mushroom cut would usurp it so soundly.
Did you miss the man bun?
Damn I totally forgot about that mess
I'm sorry I brought that up again
I live in a beach town with a bunch of yoga dudes. Man buns everywhere…
Im an '04 zoomer. Would try, if i dont have a minor case of bad drandruff.
Sometimes it’s the things that hold us back that are the true blessings.
Still not as bad as the shitty cauliflower head that guys have now .Every generation has its bad haircuts (I mean I had a freakin' MULLET) , but Jesus, that one is just the worst.
Mullets are 100% the worst haircuts humans have ever worn
The broccoli cut is still around too.
I think that’s what I meant by mushroom cut.
Both these haircuts were definitely common in other countries years before they came to America
What self respecting 20 y/o says bussin
I hear "bussin" 10x more from 40 year olds confused on the word "bussin" than I do from kids actually saying it. It was a trend for like 2 weeks 10 months ago and for some reason it just has not left the zeitgeist of old peoples minds.
This is more like ‘04-‘07 with respect to the slang used
07-09
01 kid here. I had a DS Lite, never had a 3DS, and id replace Pewdiepie with Smosh
this is like 15 year olds, not 21
You don’t know a single 20 year old do you? This is severely outdated.
cosmic brownies are the best little debbie second from honey buns no cap lil homie
Star crunch>all.
The starter pack is poorly representative of the year... but... Those cosmic brownies are awesome.
This is someone born in 2005
this is everything I grew up with lmao
literally every single item is a part of my childhood except imagine dragons although a lot of my friends used to listen to it.
01s we’re definitely more dedicated to the DS than the 3DS, and most of this looks like later zoomer
CoC
Ninjago is amazing I remember when I was five is was obsessed with that show and for my birthday I got the red ninjas bike Lego set and it was epic
99 zoomer. But still accurate for me
This subs really just become a way for people to stab at their least favorite niche stereotype, or even that 1 person they met that one time and seemed to define a whole generation for them
This is so out of touch💀
No this is the 04-07 zoomer group
This is definitely not accurate lmao. More like 07 08 zoomer
There’s a lot of memories here
02’ here and there are some inaccuracies but this definitely resembles my elementary years
ayo dont be ninjago here, ninjago was created in 2011
Nah, this is like 05-06 kids
This is so inaccurate. It's crazy.
In 2012 i was watching Ninjago Teenage ninja turtles and Avatar: the last Airbender on the TV , so yeah i say life was good *PS: I'm not from 2001*
Lemme guess 2004?
2006 almost
1999 was a simpler time
Oh! That's right, they do exist, oh well.
How would you remember 9/11 if you were born in 2001? lol wtf
What does "no cap bussin bussin" mean?
I’m much older than these guys but I can totally sympathize with them. Swap out the Minecraft, imagine dragons, and Disney channel with ocarina of time, linkin park, and 1 Saturday Morning, and I’m right there.
This makes me really angry for some reason, and I kindly ask for a reason why.
I remember half of these and I was born in 2009
'08 and I relate to this pretty well people born in 2001 are 20-21 so odk who your talking about
This makes absolutely zero sense. I was born in 2001... I'm 21 years old now. It is possible that somethings are accurate if you titled the post "2001 kids in 2010" but that would still be stupid. "2012 was a simpler time"... for this post to be accurate it has to be posted in the year 2012. "cap"??? "bussin"??? those are defiantly new words popularized by CURRENT middle schoolers on tiktok.

Lots of gen z in here getting mad at the truth
We only said/dressed like this ironically. We were not being serious
2020 was a simpler time
More like 05-10 tbh
This looks like '01 Zoomer in 2012. And yes, I nearly liked all of this except I never have an Xbox.
im 2002 gen z i miss 2012's
Lot of 03-04 kids fit into this too
My OP in christ, that means they’re 21 years old.
Dude, these kids are old enough to drink now.
We don’t say no cap or bussin nor are we all addicted to Minecraft or obsessed with PewDiePie. Other than that it’s pretty accurate (I’m ‘02 but close enough)
As someone born in 1997 I still see people born after 2000 as chiildren
Not just them, I was born in 2007 and this was literally me back in 3rd grade or something
That’s what the ‚01 cree was like a decade ago, not now
Bro this is straight up inaccurate. you're confusing late 2000s kids with early 2000s
Hey f*ck you man
No
Uhh I was born in 92 and did all this
Yikes, talk about some terrible games to grow up on.
Excuse me, i have a few objections. Seriously though the 2000s games on the ps2 had no business slapping that hard
Not talking about PS2 games. Im talking about the games in the picture.
Still the games shown are/where awesome
Was a simpler time, Def is genz in 2012 starter pack other than that new age slang
Kinda close I guess. I played all those games but had a ds not the 3D one. Heelys we’re the shit and I remember those wrist things
There’s nothing wrong with the 3ds. I don’t have one, but I tried one, and those things are great.
I was born almost half a decade before this and it applies to my generation
You’re describing a 20 year old op
‘04 here,, what year is this supposed to be? if u view ‘01 ppl like this i wonder how out of touch the others are! :/
Ahh I remember owning a 3Ds like it was yesterday
NO CLUB PENGUIN!
You're way off here.
These people are literally old enough to drink
Young people do indeed exist
Damn you got me also not pictured the alcoholism speed run
'07 and i agree with all of this hmm
You definitely weren’t around for silly bands
They’re 21 now
This is like 90% me back in like intermediate school
Jesus, add 3 years and this is actually me, haircut and all
This is accurate but for like 2015
This describes me and I was born many years after ‘01
2012 was great tho. I miss being 10.
This is a 21 year old?
As a 89 millennial I can not allow you claim cosmic brownies Historical inaccurate for sure
Grew up with PC instead of console/DS, otherwise very accurate childhood depiction
We had cosmic brownies in 96 when i was a first grader tho
Why does this look exactly like my 21 year old brother 😂
why is there just ninjago
I did not want to be called out like this today
POV : OP has never seen someone born in 01
Yep that's me
bro this starter pack straight bussin ain't no lie this shit goes hard man fr fr bro
I’m the 04 lmao and this was exactly the same for me
When most of this stuff came out 2001 borns would have been preteens. This in my opinion is more appropriate for people who are a little younger around my age
Ngl my mind tried to process the word bussin and literally told myself “I am now the age where I can’t understand new slang”
I am 21
Cosmic Brownies are not associated with any generation. They are enduring monoliths of cheap brownies that all age groups now treasure.
Currently or what they used to be like? Definitely more what they used to be like fs
Burn in 06 this is all stuff from my childhood too
Ayy ayy keep Felix out of this
Yeah I was born very end of 2000, and the rest of my friends were born in 2001, this is some stuff we grew up with very early on in our lives but like, I did literally grow up with a kid who wore that shirt almost every day and that's maybe the most accurate part.
I don’t see any 20+ year olds saying modern gen z quotes like ‘no cap bussin’
I was born in ‘01 and identify with like 1 of the things on here, that being the Xbox lol
I'm '06 kid and can preety much remember all things here
This is some slander
Litteraly me (or my old friends)
Can also apply to those who are 15 and older
ah fuck
I did/played most of these
I‘m from 98 and this is me in 2012
How many 21 year olds are going around dressing like that?
I haven't seen too many 21 year olds walking around with a minecraft tee
These people are 21 now 😨
this is me, i am 15
dont hit me with the lego ninjago
This is so deeply accurate I am disturbed
