I think the reason our generation is so nostalgic (i.e. “You know you’re a 90s kid when _____”) is because of the sheer rate of technological advance in the last 20 years. Think of what the technological landscape was in the early-mid 90s. The internet was practically useless for entertainment purposes, smart phones were merely a dream for hopeful young inventors, TV was king, landlines and VHS and cassettes. The Jetsons seemed hundreds of years away and now we’re practically living the Jetsons. We’ve got robots that clean our floors and smart homes that you can talk to and have it control your home and the 90s equivalent of a supercomputer in our pocket, TV is becoming obsolete in favor of computers. In 20 years it’s changed this much. And that’s why millennials are so nostalgic despite being in their twenties, it’s because an entire lifetime or two of technological advancement has happened right before our eyes
