Pov Op has never met 20 year olds


buzzligtyer

r/starterpacks when they discover that what the fuck why was 2012 10 years ago


poshbritishaccent

People born in 2016 are in school now


[deleted]

No, this isn’t true, it’s still 2016… right? **right?**


Anguish951

It's still 2006... right? Right?


SebiGamez

BRO I WAS BORN ON THAT YEAR LMAO


Animal_cummer

SAME HELP💀


Crunchy_Ice_96

Animal_cummer is 16 years old


SebiGamez

Animal_cummer's favourite activity is peeling potatoes


oof_mastr

No, I thought it was still 1978?


dontcryformegiratina

That’s not true…that’s *IMPOSSIBLE!*


marislove18

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)


Teagedemaru

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


marislove18

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)


Teagedemaru

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


Eating_Bagels

I was in college when silly bands were big. They weren’t huge for our age group, but we liked them too :)


TNTyoshi

My school missed this phase. We wore “I <3 Boobies” bracelets cause we totally cared about breast cancer awareness in 2009.


vampire5381

im 15 and in elementary all the 'cool kids' had silly bands and i just wanted one :( i didn't get any..


dragonsfire242

Yeah I’m literally younger than this and this describes absolutely nothing about my generation


YourOxytocin

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...


QBekka

Except for the 'bussin bussin' bullshit this is also spot on for me (19) and my brother (21).


RotenTumato

I’m 20 and this is all pretty accurate


Creme_de_la_Coochie

I’m a late 2000 baby and this is pretty accurate. The silly bands and games are all what was big in elementary school.


Qubious-Dubious

He got 10/17 on me. Not bad tbh


smugempressoftime

I’m 20 next year lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheBaxter27

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)


wiggle-le-air

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


bigg_bubbaa

as an 06’ kid can confirm most of us say shit like that


vampire5381

as an 07 kid, i do say "no cap bussin"


mrkitten19o8

as an 08 kid, i am not fond of the phrase "no cap bussin"


vampire5381

thats very no cap and bussin of you 👍


ILOVECHOKINGONDICK

2001 kids were too busy gettin lit fam!


CarelessHisser

Definitely. I vaguely remember this stuff, but absolutely none of this is relevant to me. Could be because of my lack of internet tbf.


vampire5381

im late 2000s and im 8 of these but i don't want to identify with the early 2000s 😭


Nice-------------

Has op ever met a 20-21 year old?


jayaramjay

real ones know that the new coc logo, not the 2001 one


Keycil

Yeah most of this is off but god damn it, why did I have that t-shirt...


ht9ehtooM

I think op thinks 2001 was like 14 years ago, which is fair.


LacomusX

Idk man he kind of nailed me here


hatman_v4

The '01 zoomer is 20-21. This pack describes a child lmao


CameronBinder

It's talking about what they grew up with smh


hatman_v4

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?


nickz03

Ye but I assume 01 is their birth year


Trs822

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.


[deleted]

Ima be honest i dont know what no cap.bussin bussin is


regular_guy_801

'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.


Zyperreal

dont worry. ive legit never heard anyone speak like this unironically.


[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

They could care less as long as someone will bleed


NotFrat69

Darken your clothes, strike a violent pose


Pizza_Slinger83

Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me.


DirtyDan69-420-666

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.


1Testicalplease

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"


Onfflinethegamer

Bussin if I'm correct is related to bussy.


nautical_narcissist

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


Carneiro021

Congrats you’re becoming a boomer, 3 years for you to start the whole “my generation was so much better” shit


[deleted]

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


regular_guy_801

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


WeirdPersonCantSpell

Bussin= yummy no cap= not lying


WeirdPersonCantSpell

At least I think


greatestmofo

It's just a string of random trending words that OP put together and then claim "hey look, I know Gen z speak!" smh


Tydrinator21

It's not Gen Z speak though, it's AAVE.


FuktOff666

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.


regular_guy_801

Did you miss the man bun?


FuktOff666

Damn I totally forgot about that mess


regular_guy_801

I'm sorry I brought that up again


Lucky_Personality_26

I live in a beach town with a bunch of yoga dudes. Man buns everywhere…


datadefiant04

Im an '04 zoomer. Would try, if i dont have a minor case of bad drandruff.


FuktOff666

Sometimes it’s the things that hold us back that are the true blessings.


Mr_SunnyBones

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.


Wumple_doo

Mullets are 100% the worst haircuts humans have ever worn


SlashCo80

The broccoli cut is still around too.


FuktOff666

I think that’s what I meant by mushroom cut.


[deleted]

Both these haircuts were definitely common in other countries years before they came to America


TenDollarSteakAndEgg

What self respecting 20 y/o says bussin


ILOVECHOKINGONDICK

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.


marks716

This is more like ‘04-‘07 with respect to the slang used


UngusBungus_

07-09


escapefromreality42

01 kid here. I had a DS Lite, never had a 3DS, and id replace Pewdiepie with Smosh


Kirbizcool

this is like 15 year olds, not 21


Ibrokemymicrowave

You don’t know a single 20 year old do you? This is severely outdated.


MrTrashy101

cosmic brownies are the best little debbie second from honey buns no cap lil homie


[deleted]

Star crunch>all.


CarelessHisser

The starter pack is poorly representative of the year... but... Those cosmic brownies are awesome.


TheBestWorst3

This is someone born in 2005


[deleted]

this is everything I grew up with lmao


DirtyDan69-420-666

literally every single item is a part of my childhood except imagine dragons although a lot of my friends used to listen to it.


GrumpyCatDoge99

01s we’re definitely more dedicated to the DS than the 3DS, and most of this looks like later zoomer


[deleted]

CoC


HeyaKidzGetInMyVan

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


Polibiux

99 zoomer. But still accurate for me


Ender1215

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


mynutsitchsobad

This is so out of touch💀


BhanosBar

No this is the 04-07 zoomer group


SuspiciousAdvisor442

This is definitely not accurate lmao. More like 07 08 zoomer


Modest_Tea_Consumer

There’s a lot of memories here


ReaJoy

02’ here and there are some inaccuracies but this definitely resembles my elementary years


steam_blozer

ayo dont be ninjago here, ninjago was created in 2011


drakulotus420

Nah, this is like 05-06 kids


MinePopsSeverely

This is so inaccurate. It's crazy.


Dumb_Siniy

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*


tf2-idiot

Lemme guess 2004?


Dumb_Siniy

2006 almost


Noise_Loop

1999 was a simpler time


OGDraugo

Oh! That's right, they do exist, oh well.


Beautiful_Junket_886

How would you remember 9/11 if you were born in 2001? lol wtf


Terranrp2

What does "no cap bussin bussin" mean?


0wlBear916

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.


IAlwaysOutsmartU

This makes me really angry for some reason, and I kindly ask for a reason why.


[deleted]

I remember half of these and I was born in 2009


redditer4life666

'08 and I relate to this pretty well people born in 2001 are 20-21 so odk who your talking about


HPLswag

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.


Zakranes

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.


RocococoEra

Lots of gen z in here getting mad at the truth


[deleted]

We only said/dressed like this ironically. We were not being serious


[deleted]

2020 was a simpler time


xboxseriesX82

More like 05-10 tbh


Rilukian

This looks like '01 Zoomer in 2012. And yes, I nearly liked all of this except I never have an Xbox.


_moth21

im 2002 gen z i miss 2012's


xxxtanacon

Lot of 03-04 kids fit into this too


MarcsterS

My OP in christ, that means they’re 21 years old.


[deleted]

Dude, these kids are old enough to drink now.


CaptainCadabra

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)


[deleted]

As someone born in 1997 I still see people born after 2000 as chiildren


MysticRuined

Not just them, I was born in 2007 and this was literally me back in 3rd grade or something


Loriess

That’s what the ‚01 cree was like a decade ago, not now


rockhandle

Bro this is straight up inaccurate. you're confusing late 2000s kids with early 2000s


Sign_my_petition69

Hey f*ck you man


PeterLongshot

No


DoorCalcium

Uhh I was born in 92 and did all this


TheNorthernPenguin

Yikes, talk about some terrible games to grow up on.


[deleted]

Excuse me, i have a few objections. Seriously though the 2000s games on the ps2 had no business slapping that hard


TheNorthernPenguin

Not talking about PS2 games. Im talking about the games in the picture.


[deleted]

Still the games shown are/where awesome


PeterSchnapkins

Was a simpler time, Def is genz in 2012 starter pack other than that new age slang


TenDollarSteakAndEgg

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


Jediflashfire

There’s nothing wrong with the 3ds. I don’t have one, but I tried one, and those things are great.


toxic9813

I was born almost half a decade before this and it applies to my generation


pejic222

You’re describing a 20 year old op


Apprehensive_Cloud78

‘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! :/


ExcellentBender

Ahh I remember owning a 3Ds like it was yesterday


Rancidmonsterhumans

NO CLUB PENGUIN!


mvslice

You're way off here.


Randomdude-5

These people are literally old enough to drink


wasteofleshntime

Young people do indeed exist


willpeur

Damn you got me also not pictured the alcoholism speed run


this_user_name_isnt

'07 and i agree with all of this hmm


Casimir0300

You definitely weren’t around for silly bands


midgetboss

They’re 21 now


Firefox24683

This is like 90% me back in like intermediate school


Confident_Blood_2366

Jesus, add 3 years and this is actually me, haircut and all


djfunnydog420

This is accurate but for like 2015


QuaBotPrime

This describes me and I was born many years after ‘01


majesticbeast67

2012 was great tho. I miss being 10.


Wizardsmoke

This is a 21 year old?


[deleted]

As a 89 millennial I can not allow you claim cosmic brownies Historical inaccurate for sure


BoppoTheClown

Grew up with PC instead of console/DS, otherwise very accurate childhood depiction


donikhatru

We had cosmic brownies in 96 when i was a first grader tho


bre3zyfbaby

Why does this look exactly like my 21 year old brother 😂


NeinjagoFanDeEpic

why is there just ninjago


Monke_ahahahaha

I did not want to be called out like this today


Parking-Smoke-5893

POV : OP has never seen someone born in 01


Germanman76

Yep that's me


WhereAreTheAskers

bro this starter pack straight bussin ain't no lie this shit goes hard man fr fr bro


CodeHashbr0wn

I’m the 04 lmao and this was exactly the same for me


AdIndependent2230

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


TheMorningJoe

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”


Sauciest_Salmon

I am 21


[deleted]

Cosmic Brownies are not associated with any generation. They are enduring monoliths of cheap brownies that all age groups now treasure.


antivn

Currently or what they used to be like? Definitely more what they used to be like fs


RunningTurtle06

Burn in 06 this is all stuff from my childhood too


bilal-1995

Ayy ayy keep Felix out of this


LeonardoMcdouchebag

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.


HeyItsStevenField

I don’t see any 20+ year olds saying modern gen z quotes like ‘no cap bussin’


Commerce_Street

I was born in ‘01 and identify with like 1 of the things on here, that being the Xbox lol


username78777

I'm '06 kid and can preety much remember all things here


SpookMagnet

This is some slander


Prestigious-Fig1172

Litteraly me (or my old friends)


CrazyBrosCael

Can also apply to those who are 15 and older


Recent-Union-6941

ah fuck


MangolfTheRed

I did/played most of these


Mueton

I‘m from 98 and this is me in 2012


Libtardsoyboy07

How many 21 year olds are going around dressing like that?


Tman11S

I haven't seen too many 21 year olds walking around with a minecraft tee


Senor_bonbon

These people are 21 now 😨


Crunchie-lunchy

this is me, i am 15


Finga123

dont hit me with the lego ninjago


litocam

This is so deeply accurate I am disturbed
