As a 2001 baby I feel directly between this "old age" and "new age"

your comment made me feel old as fuck and I'm a 2000 baby😅
Hey same here. I am 2001 too. 🙂

The fact that beluga actually had to go outside to film that last bit really shows how much commitment he put into his videos.
Probably it was just a patch of grass in a flat bowl, like cat grass for indoor cats. "Touch grass" for indoors kids?

Yeah, because it's really hard to go outside for a second and touch some grass! What the heck are you saying??? 🙄💀

@@Beluga1 hi beluga
why is this so true ;\/
As a 2002 kid, I can say when I was a kid we had many things to do. Playing games both indoor and outdoor, And making friends outside, Going to school by my lil bicycle.. Those things slightly disappeared after 2010. Now this is bad. Technology ain't mean everything. When the technology develops, humanity becomes wild. And health also. I wanna go back to that era again. 😪
Im 2009 and i got to use windows xp, i now use windows 7
I've been born in 91 and sometimes wonder how we've managed to spend our days without the internet. Reading the 80s marvel and DC comics then made me remember how much entertainment was already available. Sure, we didn't constantly have access to everything like nowadays but it was still affluent. We already had plentely of Video games, many of which became evergreens. In my case, the total club manager series and Pokemon which I keep replaying even now. Also other games I lately found on steam like HOMM III or Turok. The Final Fantasy games, still loving FF7. CS, FIFA, Steet Fighter, Tekken, Super Mario etc. There was plentely already for gamers. We had Mangas and Comics to read though we had to wait every week for new issues to come out since we had to physically purchase them. Anime and other series were also around. And the friday evening blockbusters. Sure, they were only available on certain days and times but that made these days feel special. You could watch a lot of Sports events (Ironically way more on free TV than nowadays). And we arguably had the best sitcoms like Fresh Prince of Bel Air and the best ever Married with children. Theaters were also around enough. Though I went to the theatre for the first time in the 2000s. I still remember my first ever movie in the theatre, it was Lord of The Rings Fellowship. It not only made me love LOTR but a movie enthusiast in general. We had card games to collect already. Though I never was that much into Pokemon. I prefered Yu-Gi-Oh, which I not just collected but also played and still play. Having to wait for certain times and days was a little annoying, ngl. But not having it constantly available made it feel more special and we appreciated it more. And while we waited we were forced to spend quality time outside. Which was awesome. Catch in the night was thrilling. Going on rides is something I still love to do with my niece and nephew as long as my stomach still plays along. We generally had way more family trips than many families seem to do nowadays. Going to castles, water falls and the one I loved the most as a kid, the monkey hill. We also went to the playground frequently. Most of us played football of course (the real one, not the US version ;-) ). And we've all been im clubs. I was of course never allowed to be playmaker as I've always wanted due to my lack of scoring skills. Still was a lot of fun. Thinking about it now, the way I spend my leisure time hasn't really changed much since my chilhood. It just has become far more available. And I certainly love the modern affluency of entertainment. But it forces you to self monitor and control yourself way more. Sorry for the very long nostalgia trip. Hope this was at least interesting for young people who are curious about how older people spend their leisure time.

I played that racing game back in the 90's and have not really paid attention to the graphics until just now.
The fact that he showed Windows XP in the thumbnail for "1990s", even though it was released in 2001, hurts my soul.
I didn't particularly liked walking 5 miles to school, uphill both ways, in the 90s but video games were great back then. We had Age of Empires already in 97!

As a 2001 kid I feel more directly to the old age than the new age and I feel like I don't belong to Gen Z but to a lost generation nowadays kids just have 100 Mbps of internet speed or more and don't watch tv they just go into the internet...How time has changed...back in my day we just had 1 channel of cartoons with Tom and Jerry or any other WBs cartoons or Looney Tunes cartoons and the rest was just either national channels or news channels, we went outside, had brick phones and a bit later flip phones there were no smartphones, no digital cameras just film cameras, we barely had internet, no dumb memes...I feel like the more we go deeper into the internet and advance technology the more dumb our next generation will get and they wont get that joy of that life has given them into which is really sad
I still remember when I was a kid! The TV and computers were like box screen and man, Beleive me when I say this, that back than was considered a luxury! I still remember how hyped I was after I first played GTA San Andreas and was really fascinated by it's graphics! Man! Time really has changed a lot!
God old times when you could get crushed by a monitor.
Had the best time of my life with this game together with my friends. Yes we were able to play this single-player game together as a group of three. And there was the two player mode on PS2 which was so much fun. Getting on a quad bike, entering the cheat code so that all pedestrians had weapons, turning on K-Rose and rushing through the city loudly singing along and trying not to get hit by an rpg. Good old times.
I am 90's kid from India and I can say that we had a similar life.
Playing 8 bit game was the only video game, 16bit looked super awesome.
As there were only 1 channel for us which used to show cartoon only on Sunday morning from 8-10 other than that it was all news or some random stuff.
When I try to recall my childhood, I can only think of playing outside with my friends. The brotherhood we made is still strong.
I remember doing many stuff by myself, driving bicycle for 10 km was normal. Restless.
We used to leave house to meet our friend without even knowing that he is there; we didn't had phone. Later when we had phone, we used to give 1 missed call to let them know I am coming (to avoid call charges). :)
We didn't had tech to build our childhood, we had friends !
Now we grow up and don’t have friends, only tech.

No one's reading all this sh*t m8
You are surely a indian parent
I'm an 80's kid, and I loved Tetris and Load Runner.
You know, this is so true. Love it when Beluga tells big facts with humor
Born in 1982.
I like the actual modern lifestyle, and at the same time I feel I still had everything back in the days.
I like the modern lifestyle too despite being born in 91. Young people nowadays won't even know real boredome of not having anything to play or to watch. The only problem is that unlike young people we can control ourselves better because we weren't raised to constantly consume. That's the only issue I have with the affluence of modern entertainment. It requires self control and self monitoring. I could also do without the woke mentality and toxicity. That was also one of the positives of not being online all the time. We had plentely of stupid people too. But we weren't flooded with their opinions. It was easy to ignore them and they weren't taken seriously.
Exactly…!!!
@@Anoyingmagpie777 We had social media in the late 90s too. But not in the same abundance as nowadays and it was indeed just for social interactions and not to spread your politics or earn money by exploiting people. Though you could of course argue that stuff like MySpace started this toxic trend.
@@Anoyingmagpie777 I stopped using social media because I realized it had a very negative influence on me. Deleted my Facebook account years ago and never regreted it for a second. I gladly was never interested in Instagram and Twitter. I think that's the difference between older generations and Gen Z. Older gens can control themselves since they experienced a time before social media and therefore realize how much of a negative impact overexposure can have one ones psych. Gen Z doesn't know anything else.
@@Anoyingmagpie777 The internet is indeed where all the toxic people gather. But it's a distorted reality. There are not as many as you would believe. If you turn off social media for just a couple of days and go outside you will realize that most people are still normal. Or at least ach normal. Their madeness then gets unleashed online. My roommate is an example of that. Her madeness only got exposed to me slowly in small portions. Sometimes it feels like it's better to not get to know people for real. Though I think she would be a normal and reasonable person if she was permanently cut off from the internet. Too much exposure has a negative effect on them.

I'm actually more than happy with what I got, but I experienced both ways so I can compare. 5 year old me in 1998: "These pc games are awesome. I wish I could be in one of them, that'd be so fun". 23 years later, I saw, personally bought VR and play it. It was like they made one of my dreams come true. What's not to love about technology and advancement.
I never understood those nostalgia lover people. You were all poor like we used to be, go to a library to do some research like an idiot, trying to have fun with stupid things.
So tbh, I'm 29 rn, but I didn't wanna grow up even when I was a child. I think I always lived how I exactly wanna lived. However, I'd like to be reborn into this technology now (with my mind as it is now), so I could see 29 years more of it.
You know since... we'll die someday.

Even though Windows XP wasn't a thing in 1990 - not by a long shot - I'll counter with:
Not too long ago, while I was running a Win Vista system with nothing but HDDs and an ODD, my morning routine was to stumble out of bed and into my study and switch on the PC. Then I'd go into the kitchen, start a pot of coffee and get the toaster running. Then over into the bathroom to do some basic grooming. Then back to the kitchen where, by now, there would be enough coffee brewed for my first cup, which I then fixed. Then I would go back into the study, sit down at my desk, light a cigarette and enjoy it and my coffee. While I was doing that, Vista *might* have finished booting up. and if I was lucky, by the time the cigarette and coffee were consumed, I could get context menus on the desktop without the whole thing freezing up for 10 or 20 seconds.
In 2022, and on a 12600K, Win 11 system installed on an M.2 drive, I enter the study, push the power button on my PC and by the time I'm sitting down at my desk, the PC is up and running.

As a kid in the 90's, I should point out that "memes," as we know them, didn't exist in the 90's. I was also not offended at all when Cyberpunk 2077 released full of bugs and glitchy graphics. Just look at the graphics I grew up with.
As someone born in 1990, this hit me very hard--especially the four TV channels and video game graphics--too much truth LOL
I remember playing Crash Bandicoot back then i thought that graphics could never be better than this 🤣
@@joebenzz Probably the best game i played on PS1 (i had the trilogy)

There were more than four channels in the 90s. That was the the 50s and most of the 60s.
Making "S" is my favorite 😋
Kids nowadays don't realize how simplified their lives have been made.
Also, video games in 1994 where I lived weren't like that racing game. They were Wolfpack, F4U Secret Sortie, Guerilla War, and other titles for DOS. You could play them on a monochrome yellow LCD display on an IBM laptop. One that had a 45 MB hard drive with 4 MB of RAM. Everything cool had to be run from a floppy disk.

It's weird to see how much things have changed since I was born, back in 1997.
Essentially the tech age boom, from the first Nintendo DS to the first 3D movie without the blue/red visors to name a few.
Alot has changed over the 20+ years.
Please. I grew up with the og Gameboy and the super nintendo
@@pandaman1331 I remember the Gameboy advance and colour but I was just using some examples to say how much tech changed.

@@hunterwulfstern6121 true true. I am currently replaying every Pokemon game which perfectly shows how they evolved. They jump from the Gameboy Color to Advance was huge. And then another huge jump from DS to 3DS.
@@pandaman1331 How is that going for you atm? I remember playing Pearl for my official copy and only recently got Fire Red.
Overall as you said the changes have grown immensely and the animated sprites in B&W blew me away
@@hunterwulfstern6121 I still enjoy all versions immensealy since every generation has different mechanics so it never feels the same even if you play with the same Pokemon. I am not too invested in graphics, the art style is more important to me. Although it's undeniable that the back sprites in Gen 1 are atrocious. But nostalgia is one hell of a drug and makes up for the lack in graphics. The Gen 6 games are by far my favorites, especially ORAS. I am currently in the post-game of black and white. Just finishend the main story. I am really looking forward to BW2. For no specific reason I never played it past the second gym. BW2 are the only games I've never finished. And I always skip DP for obvious reasons. I always go straight for Platinum. Although it doesn't feel that much faster.
Sheesh this is a lot funnier than expected. Really had to laugh hard a couple of times. Nice. Memories. Born in 92.
That's just simple and amazing bro, home sweet home and so much nostalgic

Well, its compicated my parents lived a few miles out of town and the local bus company gave us old buses then as they kept the new ones for the biggest routes in the town, I got travel sick for the first few months until I was used to it as they were so bumpy. When I know kids these days get driven by their parents for a 5 minute walk as its "too far" even older teens get this, I have seen kids do paper rounds with their parents driving their car behind them, at that point what reason is there for giving the kid a paper round. I remember when we had the worst blizzard in decades my dad walking about 8 miles (and he had health conditions) and another 8 miles back through heavy snow with heavy shopping and even then we would hear locals boast about how they walked a mile on partially gritted town roads and that made them great.

Well a lot of things evolved during the 90s. Early 90s was very different from early 2000s, unlike how 2010 is not so different from early 2020

As someone who was a child in the 90s - it was really about the animated X-Men series. That theme song still plays in my head when I have to be badass working a job that is mostly unrelated to my expensive education. Otherwise, accurate.
That's true about kids in 2022. They never go outside and just chill in online classes. COVID-19 has ruined the world
