Too young to remember all the 90s kids acting like Beavis and Butthead on the bus? Too young to remember hearing people yell beefcake in the hall and being toxic as all fuck because the South Park episode they saw the night before? Did you not have a kid at your school seriously injure themselves doing something on Jackass?
How about get the fuck off my lawn.
My mom spent the 90s hating all those things. Dead on.
back in my day, our shitheads were cultured shitheads!
No, I can assure you they were just shitheads. Just a different flavor of shithead.
This stuff has got to be actual kids self-mythologising rather than adults not remembering how dumb they were as kids, shirley?
He’s just point out the comp of best vs. worst vs worst vs. worst like it should be to make a real point.
Every generation needs to distance itself from their progenitors in some original manner, language is the easiest to adapt.
The boom in commercial technology, the deprecation of print media, and a lack of old-fashioned parenting that emphasizes reading and critical thinking. That’s what happened.

old-fashioned parenting that emphasizes reading and critical thinking
Didn’t seem to help the boomers any.
the hell? skibidi toilet ain’t rizz?
Art critic of a German newspaper reacting to Skibidi Toilet.
Pretty enlightening. He loves it says it’s nothing but “standard” surrealism. He can spot references to surrealist movies and speculates that the author has seen them and is at least referencing them subconsciously. In the end he decries that Skibidi Toilet seems to become too mainstream and is selling out with merchandise.
That’s entirely accurate from what little I have personally seen.
Yeah, when I bit the bullet and watched it to see what the fuzz is about I was very surprised how competent it is.
Look man, if Grants book didn’t have awesome dino illustrations, I’m calling this kids bluff. Even I had a dino book at that age (bit older than this…kid…man? This movies old) I still only looked at the pictures
Pretty sure that both kids’ characters in that movie were intentionally written to not be average of children that age at the time
Like most kids in movies.
Otherwise, no one would watch movies with kids.
Like most characters in movies, even.
You grew old, thats what happened.
Playing outside became too dangerous and putting kids in front of screens became too easy. We got what we paid for.
Correction: People think that playing outside became too dangerous, but all kinds of crime stats are down since the 90s. Social norms changed to make people think there is more danger due to all the post-911 fear propaganda.
You’re right, but both can be true at the same time - if your acceptable level of risk is zero then playing outside is too dangerous
Don’t forget the satanic panic of the 80’s!
This. It doesn’t help that that perception is universal, and mfs will call Child Protective Services if you let your kids go to the park on their own.
Yeah, nah. At least where I live, the 90s kid would be saying (in Portuguese) “Ô tio! Teu cu que vou pagar mico lendo aquela bagaça!”. Or roughly “Hey boomer fr fr I’m not reading that skibidi, it’s cringe shit”.
I remember being a child back then. Every little girl knew unix.
And specifically SGI UNIX, right?
Of course; what other filthy variant would children learn? /s
It’s called the interwebs I think
Isn’t the kid reading his book remarkable in the movie? Like, Dr. Grant’s whole deal with these kids is realizing not all kids™ are bad, and this is the first denial of his expectations?
yes… also, all generations have stupid slang that doesn’t make any sense by itself, and they drop most of it as the get older….
You getting old is what happened.
Autism 🤷♂️
