I feel sorry for kids born in the 90's or later...

[Anonymous]

I mean, for kids born in the 90's or later, I just feel like everything they know is like a watered down version of the good stuff that happened before they were old enough to know it.

I mean, take celebrities as an example, 80's kids grew up with Eminem and Green Day and old enough to remember a little bit of Michael Jackson and Madonna in their prime, musicians who were the real deal, people who shifted a culture.

But 90's kids? They grew up with Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, I mean...come on.

And what about movie stars? George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Will Smith, they all made their name in the 90's and they are STILL the only real A-Lister in Hollywood these days, and I cannot name a single young actor who made it to the top during the 2000's.

And if you watch football, and I mean football, not American football, there used to so many stars in so many teams, each and every single top clubs from England, Spain and Italy had at least a couple true football superstar, but now, apart from Messi and C.Ronaldo and perhaps Neymar, there are simply no superstars in football anymore!

And then there is video games. I mean, you are playing PlayStation 4 or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 or GTA V or Metal Gear Solid V, and they are all just sequels to the real deal that we got in the 90's or early 2000's.

And what about Harry Potter? Again, a cultural phenonmenon that began in the 90's.

I don't know man, I just feeling like the younger kids these days are living a "sequel" life.

Oh shut up. We all have done that. I've said how great the 90s were as opposed to the 2000s. People who grew up in the 70s would say how great they were. People who grew up in the 60s would say... you get my point. Shut up.

Goonies, MJ, Back to the future, E. T., Mario, Madonna, Em, Green Day all of those you can either find and play or just look it up. Who cares when it comes out? Have you seen every movie you've ever seen in theaters? Did you know most movies come out before you see it? Obviously right? So no matter how you cut it you never seen anything "on time". You're always late lol. You're a fool. Sure we can sit back and debate on what the best times were, but you make it seem like people can't experience the same shit... we can. We have technology... you know the stuff you used to post this take? Maybe since you still live in the 80s you shouldn't have a computer? I feel sorry for you.

if you think I am being nostalgic rather than being factual, then name me a single actor born in the 80's or later, who is considered an A-list movie star who can turn any movie into a blockbuster, whose name isn't George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise or Will Smith

[Opinion Owner]

I just like good films. Doesn't matter if it's a hit or not. There are hit movies that are shitty.

[myTake Owner]

Point proven.

But anyway, bottom line is, instead of Eminem in his prime (when he was on drugs), you got... Justin Bieber.

[Opinion Owner]

No point not proven. There are great actors who started in the 90s and 2000s. That still doesn't mean the film will automatically be good. Leonardo DiCaprio has been in some shitty movies. In fact there was a time when Leonardo was a shitty actor. It wasn't really until the 2000s when I actually considered him legit. George Clooney has made great films in the 2000s, so has Brad Pitt, so has Will Smith, etc. Very little of that has anything to do with the 80s and even the 90s really lol. Again I've seen Will Smith in some shitty movies. I've seen George in some shitty movies. Johnny too. A great actor doesn't make a great movie and all those actors you listed have probably made their best movies in the 2000s.

I wasn't born in the 2000s fuck tard. And again it's not a matter of "who you got". I remember MJ and Jordan and Super Mario and Street Fighter II and all that other shit. I was around then. Regardless again you act like

[Opinion Owner]

because you were alive then that means all that stuff belongs to you. It doesn't. Kids now days have probably seen and heard everything there is to know about Madonna, MJ, Green Day, etc. You really are a fool lol. Please. Just click the x at the right top corner of this webpage.

[myTake Owner]

"I wasn't born in the 2000s fuck tard" <---only a fuck tard, i. e YOU, would somehow think that I thought you are born in the 2000's... I mean, seriously...

and by the way fuck tard, where is that name of the young actor that is supposed to have made it big that I keep not hearing you mention? FUCK TARD.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah but you listed shit that was really popular in the 90s and 80s. 80s kids grew up with Em and Green Day? No the fuck they didn't dumbass. And again you didn't live with Madonna or MJ or any of them. You don't know them just like the rest of us. Years from now people will say "Kids born in 2010s are missing out. Best years were the 2000s." You're not special. You're not unique. Your a simp. A regular. An average joe. The time you were born means nothing.

What are you talking about?

[myTake Owner]

oh my god you really are a FUCK TARD.

"you listed shit that was really popular in the 80s" ? REALLY? WHERE?

"80s kids grew up with Em and Green Day? No the fuck they didn't dumbass." <--- Now I see why they call you a Fuck Tard, hey dumbass, you actually think in the context of this post "80's kids " means kids who grew up in the 80's i. e. born in the 70's, and not BORN in the 80's and grew up in the 90's, your intelligence is seriously questionable...

i. e. Still waiting on that superstar actor's name though

[Opinion Owner]

Superstar actors name?

Anyway, you've got a big ass picture that says 80s on it. I guess that's supposed to mean people born in the 70s who grew up in the 80s? Then that defeats the whole purpose of your next paragraph about 90s movie stars, but hey whatever "intelligent one".

[Opinion Owner]

I guess the superstar name you're looking for is the ones you listed already. That's what I was referring to. I mean hell pick one. They all were stars in the 90s not the 80s.

[Opinion Owner]

Again you're just one of those old farts who's always bitching about how the "good ol days" were better. Shut the hell up bitch.

[myTake Owner]

Do they sell brains at your local Walmart? Because you need to get one.
All along I have said these stars made their names in the 90's and early 2000's
I have no idea how you interpreted it as me saying they made it in the 80's.

Honestly, you shut up bitch. This conversation is over.

[Opinion Owner]

Your take is ridiculously stupid then. You're a complete contradiction. How pathetic.

[MisterWack]

I don’t care about the “back in my day” or “it was a good country once” BS.

What I do notice is modern music sucks compared to what came before thanks to the corrupt greedy music industry!

[fauchelevent]

Ehh, I'm a 90's kid, I still grew up with Green Day and Justin Beiber and that lot only came around once I was older and had already developed my taste in music. Plus, it's not like 90's kids can never experience people like Michael Jackson in their prime - that media is still out there and is actually much more accessible to the 90's kids than it was to the 80's kids. I can also name you quite a lot of actors who made it to the top in the 200's, maybe it's just that you're not paying attention to them... Again with video games, the earlier games are still accessible and sometimes sequels are much better than the 'real deal'.

[myTake Owner]

that's my point, you can only "experience" it through youtube, and you didn't exactly grow up with Green Day because that would require you have bought one of their actually CDs during the 90's or early 2000's, which I doubt you would have done since you were less than 10 years old then.

And please, go ahead and name those actors for me and enlighten me.

As for games, well sure the latest games sequels are probably superior in many ways, except in originality.

[fauchelevent]

But so many kids from the 80's were unable to experience it, there's really no difference between that. And I didn't purchase their CDs, no, but it was all I was raised on as a child through my parents' CDs - Green Day, Bon Jovi, Meat Loaf, a lot of music from the 70's and 80's. I barely experienced any music from the 2000's, and I'd say that's the case for a lot of other 90's kids too.

I guess the first one that came to mind would be Benedict Cumberbatch. He's not really my thing, but he became extremely successful. I'd say he really became well known due to Sherlock which was 2010, though he was popular before that as well from things like Atonement. Although he's not as well known as Leonardo DiCaprio (but then again, who really is?), he became a household name all across the world and featured in a lot of huge productions, on-stage and on-screen.

Originality hardly matters when you can play the games nowadays as well as back then, except now there's a bonus of more choice.

[myTake Owner]

you said so many kids from 80's were unable to experience, say, Michael Jackson live, but then that is the whole point, those experiences were exclusive, reserved for the cool kids in the know, not something that anyone can access just because they have an internet connection.

As for Benedict Cumberbatch?

Yeah... no.

First of all, he is what you would call a late-bloomer.
He was born around the same time as Leo DiCaprio, but DiCaprio achieved global fame when he was in his absolute prime when he was what, 22, 23? And he is still going strong.

But Benedict Cumberbatch only managed that when he was in his mid-30's, I mean, there is just no comparison.

I don't know what it is but these days there just seems to be very few people who manage to achieve greatness when they are still young.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

what the hell are you talking about? 3/4 of the things you listed (i guess unless you live in Europe or not america) came with growing up in the 90s
