00:00I think 90s kids are the coolest kids.

00:02You're not special for growing up in the 90s.

00:11This is a war now. This is a war.

00:13Tell me more.

00:30A lot of us have, you know, grown up watching Harry Potter or reading Harry Potter or watching

00:45Sins.

00:46Growing up I loved Harry Potter but then just the way J.K. Rowling used to come up with

00:52anything after the series was over just to be included.

00:56Oh, like Dumbledore is gay then why wasn't it mentioned in the books?

01:00And then she came out with some transphobic comments and then it's very hard to separate

01:06the writing from J.K. Rowling because she does try to bring Harry Potter back into everything.

01:12Friends was like really cool.

01:14It still is actually.

01:15So, you know, I think that it's a very timeless sort of a series.

01:18It still is very young and cool and, you know, people still watch it, you know.

01:21And I don't enjoy Friends.

01:24They romanticized a lot of toxicity.

01:27Friends was not aware of the toxicity that they were promoting.

01:32And it's very hard to look past that because Joey was misogynistic.

01:38Ross was like emotionally abusive at least.

01:43And yeah, I just don't enjoy it.

01:47I think whatever you see while growing up sort of stays a lot with you.

01:59I think it's a great thing to get attached to.

02:01Everybody remembers their childhood.

02:03You're not special for growing up in the 90s.

02:06I think it's always nice to go back to things that, you know,

02:09you were so probably readily available when you were growing up.

02:12Even now when somebody gives me a packet of, you know, like Fatafat or something,

02:17I don't even know if Gen Z knows about Fatafat.

02:20But even now somebody gives me one, I'm like, yes!

02:23And it's fine that a nine-year-old kid has a cool phone today.

02:27If phones were there in the 90s, you would be bragging about that.

02:30But you're not special for growing up with a real childhood

02:33where you went out to play on the playground.

02:43If you eat like a heavy meal in skinny jeans, you have to unbutton your jeans.

02:47But with wide leg jeans, you're just chilling.

02:49You can eat what you want.

02:51Now, I think even if I go out shopping,

02:54I generally prefer baggy jeans.

02:56They're definitely more comfortable.

02:58Fashion is going to come and go.

03:00And I don't want to be like, oh yeah, I hate skinny jeans.

03:03And 10 years from now, skinny jeans comes back.

03:05And I think they're really cool.

03:06But I've said those things about skinny jeans.

03:09I just care what looks good on me.

03:13I know the whole side part is considered millennial.

03:19I part my hair in a middle parting.

03:21I've always experimented with like,

03:24I think this is my thing now.

03:25I think this looks good, so I make it.

03:28I know the whole side part is considered that, oh, you're old.

03:31But for me personally, it was a thing on TikTok

03:37where people thought that every Republican

03:39actually had a side part.

03:41So that's how that became a thing.

03:43Phases, I think everybody has phases, you know.

03:44I don't have a problem with side parts.

03:46I don't have a problem with skinny jeans.

03:48I don't think it's a Gen Z millennial thing.

03:50I think it's a very personal sort of thing.

04:12It feels a little cringe.

04:14I felt so old when I got to know this.

04:17Somebody told me that people don't use that emoji anymore

04:20and it's not cool anymore.

04:22I use it a lot now.

04:25I want to know the replacement to that emoji.

04:27The laughing crying emoji was the first,

04:30like everybody used to use that.

04:33And then everyone was like,

04:34like the young kids were like,

04:36no, you just use the straight up crying emoji.

04:39I feel super old when somebody tells me

04:41that what is this emoji and why is it being used?

04:45Because that is the exact emotion that I have at that time.

04:49I'm laughing so much that my tears are coming out.

04:52That's the point of that emoji.

04:54I use the laughing crying emoji

04:56for something I genuinely find funny.

04:58I use the crying emoji for like self-deprecating humor.

05:09It's just growing up, right?

05:22It's just being an adult.

05:23Like why can't we say being an adult?

05:25I feel a lot of people are, including me,

05:28I think I'm also a bit in denial,

05:30that we have grown up so much.

05:33I feel a little overused sometimes.

05:36I'll be honest.

05:38It's okay.

05:39It's just a part of growing up.

05:41Do you know why the barrier exists?

05:43I am basically at the cusp of Millennial and Gen Z, like 97.

05:48And whichever group is acting embarrassing at that point,

05:51I just disassociate from the group.

05:53So I think that's a very generation thing,

05:56that one generation would definitely be different,

05:59probably more evolved,

06:00probably smarter than the previous generation.

06:05They will also become our age someday.

06:12Everything is good about Millennials.

06:13I think 90s kids are the coolest kids.

06:16They've really evolved.

06:17They've seen so many things

06:18and they are really nice and very happy.

06:21Millennials have kind of found a way to

06:26romanticize their lives in a way where,

06:28you know, they'd be like,

06:29oh, pizza and a glass of wine at the end of the day.

06:32Love it, love it.

06:33They're very positive in their own thing.

06:37So I think that's pretty cool.

06:43I think they don't really care about what people think or do,

06:47or even probably how they look.

06:50I think that way they've sort of really become body positive,

06:56if I can use that word.

07:00They basically like to be in their own skin.

07:01I feel like Gen Z is genuinely so funny.

07:04Millennials are a little bit more optimistic about life.

07:08Like they grew up with hope

07:09and Gen Z is just like the economy is too far gone

07:13for us to really do anything.

07:14So let us just do whatever we can

07:17and have a sense of humor about it.
