3000

A year where not much is changed but they live underwater, and your great great great granddaughter is doing fine.

3000: in actuality the human race is probably extinct. Let’s face it, we’re not gonna make it this long

2000s

The good ol’ days now. 2000-2009. Some people still lump in the 2000s with the 2010s which is really annoying. No, Party Rock Anthem did not come out in the 2000s!! The early 2010s are not the 2000s. Donald Trump was just some rich TV personality, “fake news” wasn’t in people’s daily vocabulary, a snowflake was a thing that fell from the sky, and Facebook was only a site to connect with friends and nothing more. Some other things associated with the 2000s:

Bling bling

Flip phones

Von Dutch

Emo
MySpace

Ringtones
CDs
Disney stars

iPods

Side bangs

Frosted tips
George W. Bush
MTV reality shows

Internet becoming global

Iraq War

2008 Recession

Hurricane Katrina
Britney Spears

SpongeBob

Early YouTube

Blockbuster

Paris Hilton

Lip gloss

Thin eyebrows
Nu Metal

Pop punk

Harry Potter

Chain emails

Wii

American Idol

Y2K scare

Skeuomorphic design

Layered clothes

Abercrombie and Fitch

Blogging

Hipsters

Razor scooters
Uggs
Low-cut jeans

Celebrity meltdowns

Live strong bracelets

The 2000s were pretty great

Daniel Howell

Missing from the face of the planet. Will maybe upload again, maybe not. Who knows. But he's taking a break so good for him.

Person 1: Do you know where Daniel Howell is?
Person 2: I haven't heard that name in years..

It hits different

What you say after Daniel Howell comes out and you go back to watch cute videos of him and phil but now that you know they are in a relationship it gives you ten times the amount of emotion.

Me: you know that tackle at the end of Phil is Not on Fire 1?
You: yeah..?
Me: it hits different 😭

Generation Z

Today’s teenagers and young adults, ranging in age from about 10-22. Whatever source you look up says something different, though.

We grew up in a post 9/11 world, were kids when the economy crashed, saw the first black man elected president and the first orange man elected president. Social media and iPhones were and are part of growing up for us.

Although the world is statistically getting better, we’ve never felt like we live in a peaceful world. As kids, we watched the war in Iraq and Afghanistan on TV. We have seen the rise of ISIS, school shootings, and huge natural disasters due to climate change. We have been inundated with bad news and fake news due to growing up with the internet. Adults told us growing up that we were entitled narcissists and our phones that they invented were destroying our social skills.

We grew up on youtube, twitter and instagram, making friends with people halfway across the world since we were young. We are the first truly global generation. Our claim to fame is our memes.

We have been handed a world that is more complex and faster changing than any other time in history. Many see it as broken. We saw the world lose it’s footing around 2016 when Trump became president, Brexit passed, and Harambe died. Many of us question whether or not it’s ethical to have kids, because we wonder if they’ll be around to see the end of the world. We are ridden with depression and anxiety and worry for the future. We are doing the best we can.

Generation Z: how bout I just yeet myself into oblivion

Generation Z

Updated for 2020.

Born 1995-2009. The generation that marched in the streets for the unjust murder of George Floyd, sometimes getting shot at and tear gassed by cops. The generation that got part of its youth taken away by COVID-19. The generation that some graduated without ever getting to have prom, or properly say goodbye to their friends, or be physically in school for months on end. The generation of masks, isolation, and fear. The first generation to see climate change truly screwing over the whole planet. Those of us from Australia and the west coast woke up to blood orange skies, sometimes finding it difficult to breathe. The generation who won’t take shit from nobody. The generation who got President Trump hiding in his bunker. The generation who will fight for what they fucking believe in, because there is no other choice. We are the generation of 2020.

Generation Z is unlucky enough to be growing up in this shit show.

2019

Actually not too shabby. I think the world is finally getting less crazy. Either that or we’ve become more numb to it. More school shootings but other than that, it’s been aight

Person 1: Maybe the world will finally get better. 2019 is kinda ok I guess

Person 2: Yeah hopefully..
