That is kids in the late 2000's/early 2010's, not the 1990's
"All your base are belong to us" is from the like '92
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/all-your-base-are-belong-to-us
From Know Your Meme:
"All Your Base Are Belong to Us" is a popular engrish catchphrase that grew popular across the internet as early as in 1998. An awkward translation of "all of your bases are now under our control", the quote originally appeared in the opening dialogue of Zero Wing, a 16-bit shoot'em up game released in 1989. Marked by poor grammar, the "All Your Base" phrase and the dialogue scene went viral on popular discussion forums in 2000, spawning thousands of image macros and flash animations featuring the slogan both on the web and in real life.
The phrase and game footage used in the meme come from the 1992 port of the 1989 side-scrolling arcade shooter Zero Wing, released on the SEGA Mega Drive.
So, the saying DOES come from 1992, but the internet meme formation did not happen until 1998.
I was wrong of when that meme started, but I do remember the meme when I was playing ROBLOX in 2008. Also, memes use to last a lot longer then they do now as well. But thank you for correctly correcting me 👍

Yeah, I'm sitting here like "memes? Motherfucker most people didn't have internet in '94". The same year JP came out, everyone was distributing shareware copies of Doom on floppy disks.
No we had kids yelling bits from the jerky boys, adam sandler nonsense, and ceaselessly yelling lines from movies, often times ones they hadn't even seen, but some line became what we would call a meme today.
I am not saying social media hasn't had a negative impact on kids, but slop entertainment isn't the big problem. Also all of the big issues of social media are just one aspect of things that have been moving in this direction for decades now.

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.
back in my day, our shitheads were cultured shitheads!
No, I can assure you they were just shitheads. Just a different flavor of shithead.

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.
This generational hatred will never end.
Were millennials not brainrotted when we were younger? We watched The Annoying Orange and Charlie the Unicorn. The most subscribed YouTube channel was Fred.
Erm... You might be confusing millennials with Gen Z or something. I was 19 when annoying orange first showed up, and I'm on the younger end of millennials. Me and my friends found it pretty obnoxious.
Depending on who you ask, millennial ends around 1996. Annoying orange came around in 2009, when that portion of the 'generation' would be 13 years old.
I was 13 and I found it pretty obnoxious.

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.
Lack of old-fashioned parenting
Parents trying to influence their children positively now compete with billion-dollar-corporations and enemy nation states that have a direct feed line into their kid's mind.
And if you don't allow your kids a phone they'll be socially isolated.

"back in my day we read books, not like those young whippersnappers nowadays"
I can’t read that word without thinking about Phoenix Wright anymore.

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
>kid in a movie written by adults: "I am a distinguished reader of scientific literature"
>kid I made up in my own mind: "hurr durr I'm illiterate"
Idunno dude, seems like maybe the one writing the dialogue for the "kids in the 2020s" is the problem
They watched Jurassic Park and learned what happens to kids who read books.
They survive - even when the lawyers and programmers don't.
Every generation needs to distance itself from their progenitors in some original manner, language is the easiest to adapt.
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….

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

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.

Kids in the 2010s: We are standing up to demand an end to the pollution so that we can have a future
You put unlimited slop devices in front of everyone 2 years and older instead of books.
Plato in 300: kids today!!!!!!!!!! 😡
You grew old, thats what happened.
This is 100% accurate. Those gigglemug youth before the 2020s were too pigeon-livered to be dimber-damber.
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".
Anon wants people off his lawn.
I've seen plenty of teachers/professors reporting GenZers demonstrating concerningly diminished discipline, resilience, and interest, particularly when it comes to reading. My personal observations of GenZ discipline are mixed, but I'm not in education.
Would be good to see high-quality studies on the matter.
All kids suck. Boo
Everyone under 25 should be killed. I hear you.
But thats just an arbitrary date
Everyone over 25 should also be killed so its fair. Only people that have been born exactly 25 years ago may be safe
It's called the interwebs I think
