Honestly I think that they are very redundant.
Sure, it's alright to be nostalgic about your childhood, but secluding it to a decade is just stupid. If you were born in 1984, for example, chances are some of the things you did as a kid were mixed both in the 80s and the 90s. Why is it, then, that most people born in the mid to late 80s say their childhood was in the 90s? Your childhood was your childhood, not a decade.
My second point is that the main thing people obsess about are the shows/video games in their childhood. Growing up in a generation run by the media, I lived basically what most of these guys lived, but it wasn't the only factor in my childhood and it surely wasn't for theirs. Yet I still see so many people over-reacting to the shows and games solely instead of simple stuff like going outside to play tag or hide and go seek. Some of my favorite childhood memories were playing hide and go seek tag with some girls in the neighborhood almost every day.
My final and most important point in the bane that is the decade-kid fandom is, of course, the constant hate towards another (mostly newer) decade. Why? Wherever there's a 90s kid, there's hate towards the 2000s. Wherever there's a 00s kid, there's hate towards the 2010s. I don't see why so many people choose to express their nostalgia by making fun of the "lazy" newer generations (which is also kind of hypocritical based on the unending rants on how they loved watching TV and playing video games in "their" respective decade).
Glad to finally get this off my chest, something that has been annoying me for quite some time. I just hope it comes to an end. At the end of the day, who cares "what decade" you were a kid in? Why seclude your childhood to a decade?
Go ahead and post your opinions, if you want. |
