Do young people feel like they missed out

...on a lot of stuff? I just saw a movie from 2000, and I'm thinking, to the kids of today (say age 8 to 16), THIS is considered OLD, or at least, passed....

When I grew up, it was like the 70's and 80's were ok but kind of old fashioned, it's like the world was communist before, or something, but now, it's like there's 4 decades of cool and they missed out on all the fun.

I'm sure the kids today think today's little kid world is all that matter and exist, like all kid world's befor them. Like 2010's is just as fresh and new as their little sponge like brains.

God help us lmao!

Like I can hardly grasp the fact it's almost 2020. Wtf happened?

We don't need eyes to see.

No, they probably don't. I may think they're missing out because they missed things I grew up with, but my parents also probably thought that about my generation and so on. What we think is great and mattered to us doesn't matter to those after us or before us. They grow up with their own special memories, movies, music, etc.

Oh, come on, that's not true!

WALL. E. Alone disproves your statement! I refuse to believe that all good has passed and we have nothing good to enjoy. And there are tons of great movies of you look outside of the mainstream Hollywood American films.

It's a good movie, but I didn't grow up with it, so, there isn't any attachment to it. My response was based on the idea that the things those who feel others are missing out on are the things they grew up with. Otherwise, it's a silly topic. I have easy access to music, movies, whatever else from the previous generations. So, there's no way I could miss out if I were interested. I'm just not as interested since I didn't grow up around them and they have no special meaning to me

I agree with you. My response was for Arielle. Heh. Should have quoted

Oops!

Back in the 70's, kids had freedom!!! We could run all over the neighborhood on our bikes (no helmets) and explore and feel safe. Kids today and even the 90s generation have NO idea what that kind of freedom is like.

We didn't have technology to distract us, so we actually got outside and did stuff; had real experiences.

There was some awesome music and some pretty good movies from that time (Grease, Smoky and the Bandit, Star Wars, etc).

90s still wasn't tech heavy enough to keep you from going outside and playing.

also we had laser tag.
