Do you ever wonder if people from the 80s were like “ugh, the 40s were so much better, I was born too late” and people had to explain that there was literally a world war going on?
no
because people back then while still retarded didn't had internet echo chambers where they could nurture their stupidity
back they they got bullied for being idiots and nobody would talk to them
I don't think that's possible. There was little to no social media at that time, so I don't think people in the 80's would feel that way.
But then again, there were people in the 70s who were very nostalgic about the 50s. Sooooooo.......

This is a good video but I disagree with some points here for several reasons:
- I'd argue smartphones haven't done much good for society except for wasting time in anime, video games, music, etc instead of being productive and getting things done. They're also a form of DRM / vendor lock in because you're forced to use them nowadays to communicate or even find a job, and they collect all your data and send it to 3-letter agencies so they can profile you. They can be powerful but they are definitely in the wrong hands.
- You ate a natural plant-based diet and didn't get most of the health problems we have today. Nowadays, obesity, diabetes and overall sickness rates are skyrocketing to unpresidented levels. If you eat healthy, the vast majority of this can be alleviated by eating right
People are never born in the wrong generation, they just weren’t raised well
Can’t agree harder
I think that desiring to live in a past generation is because of the societle problems we deal with in the present as well as it's uncertainty. They had problems yes, but not the problems we have now (and us not knowing how to fix them)
Facts
No they're not boy. There's entire philosophical schools of thought built on the rejection of liberal modernity. Read Evola.
@@ducktender397 bro they hade worse problems back then
My dad was born in 1958 and my mom was born in 1965. I do not envy them in the slightest. I can't imagine the struggles they went through. Living through so many historical events and all those iconic decades must've had their positives but I believe the cons outweigh the pros. I genuinely could've been born so much earlier in other generations but I'm glad I was born in 2004 and got to experience my childhood. I like being a part of gen z.
In my country, no one misses the 80s and 70s. They all had to live knowing they would die in a terrorist attack
so 65 years old and 58 years old and you are 19 interesting because my grandpa ( my father father ) is 70 so just 5 years older then your dad and i thought my parents are whold which are 47 my dad and 45 my mom ( or something like that ) and i am 17, i whish you keep your parents save and take care of them
I was born in 2010 I agree that I’m lucky by the way the reason I’m not inbred I was born in Cuba
How old are you
Born in 2010, yeah i might’ve not have experienced something from a 2000s kid (technically, my old brother did introduced what some things he is grewing up with to me), but hey, atleast i still have a childhood, not nothingness.
If ya’ll gonna say “BORN IN 2003 IS BETTER THAN BORN IN 2010 SO YOU BORN IN WRONG GENERATION 🤡🤡🤡🤡”, then i think ya’ll are clowns, keep crying and complaining ya’ll.
If you are gonna complain and cry about me born in 2010, then you should go back to a circus bozos, no one wants to hear your twitter behaviour.
Maybe people in 2050 will be like, “Ugh, the 2020s were so much better, I was born too late.”, and people will have to explain that there was literally a pandemic going on.

as a person who was born in the mid-2000s, it's kinda annoying how people say that the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s were better without looking at what the 2010s and 2020s has to offer. they fail to realize that the past has flaws just like any other decade.
If anything I can say that Mainstream music was definitely better back then
What year are you born in?
Look, I'm just saying, but I love video games, music and movies as well as society from the 90s to 2010's man
@@liltree8382 Very true
@@fezupnext06 Mid 2000s is kinda strange wording given that technically the only middle part of the 2000s would be 2005 so maybe he was born in ‘05? But then again he could mean ‘04-‘06 but I was born in ‘04 and always counted myself as an “early 2000s” baby so idk lol.
Finally, someone else with common sense. It always gets on my nerves when people say that the olden times were better and we were born in the wrong generation.
Its only ok if people miss being kids. But people who act like times back then were so much better are silly.
I wish I was born in like the 90s or early 2000s cuz ppl always on the game and their phones and never go outside
bruh half these people watched a 5 second clip of stranger things and said "aight I'm living there"
@SCP 69 no he’s right. People back then socialized more and were less lonely. There’s a reason why people are going back to the past instead of looking towards the future
@@greatestindanationwide8332 so many more people today socialize with other people, and the people who are lonely are mostly not actually lonely and lying to themselves, and the ones who are actually having problems are less than before.
Privilege is definitely a big factor. We are so used to the advantages we have now that we don't consider them privileges at all, and see all the things from the past and yearn for "the privilege" to have those things. And yeah, there is no way Gen Z and Alpha would survive a day in the 90s without their phones and instant access to the internet
each generation has it's perks, it's beauty and it's downsides. It's easy to look back at an Era and see the good things in it. I guarantee you that at some point in the future we will be way too nostalgic about these times, and we will be annoyed by the future generations who say "they'd love to live on these times".
As a fan of many things from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, I think I was born in the right generation to enjoy things from other thing from other generations
🤝
Same
I’m a huge fan of 70’s,80’s and 90’s too (ex. movies,music,style,etc.). Thought it would be really cool to travel back to the past,i think i’m better off living in this generation. There ARE things i do like in this current generations and i can’t live without them,too.
Well said!
I agree too. I love 80s metal but want my phone
moral of the video:
you dont want to be back then, you want some of the things from back then
On god. I would love to go to a concert in the 70's-80's to see my favorite bands in their prime. I wouldn't want to live in the 80's tho. Moslty due to the threat of nuclear war.
I'd want to go to the past 80s+/- just to try buy a house, damn this shit expensive as hell nowadays in my country, back then I could have a chance at least.😭
@@AnekoGT honestly same 😭 Video games too and the currency of my country before the euro was wayyyy cheaper and according to a lot of older people (born in 60's 70's and 80's) it was easier back then on my island
I still want to be from back then, so no
Honestly... I do not want anything from back then and I rly appreciate the time I live in (wish I was born more later but well, better what I have now than existing on the 20th century)
Just thinking what old fashion looks like (80s specially ughh) and the fact there was no internet rly makes me appreciating my timeline
Don't get me started on going to a movie theatre while black in the 90s, my uncle said "people will tell you sit at the back but do it in the most passive aggressive way. and if you talk back and or give additude you'll be either kicked out or in jail for a day".
Thanks for this video. I was just struggling with the thought that I would’ve liked to have been born in the 60s or something rather than 2009. It really opened my eyes to everything I feel. The main thing I was envying was just how true I think people were back then. Right now it seems as if we need to put on masks and hide all our flaws to be liked. But I feel is the worst of all to me personally is the lack of humanity and passion in music that there was before. It now seems all industry like. That’s the main reason. This did help me look at the positive side of today though, so thank you for that :)
I was born before 2009, but I do see your point of view. I think we are all born in the right generation, but some of us tend to liked older stuff.
Just because what’s popular sucks doesn’t mean that modern music sucks.
Some good post-2000 bands/musicians are Bruno Mars, Avenged Sevenfold, Dirty Honey, The White Stripes, etc.
The 60s were a horrible time
I was born in 2009 too, but I was more wanting to live in the Late 90s, 2000s, and hey, experiencing more of the early 2010s would be cool too. My reason is everything now feels cooperate.
@@astatine-linux-gd Bro, you're 14, chill out man. Just take back and enjoy the show.
Honestly through reading history and hearing stories from elders, people have been the same in terms of keeping a mask. Only difference is that the internet made everyone aware of it. It made some people more accepting or others and made others more judgmental. It exacerbates what already existed prior to the internet.
As for current pop music, there’s some songs I like from the past 5 years but I do agree a lot of it sounds corporate. This only applies to mainstream music. I’ve seen a lot of passionate artists at local shows. There’s a ton of good, new stuff out there that’s in almost any genre and most bands have a Spotify. Social media like Instagram or Facebook are good for finding new bands or local shows to go to.

1940s-2000s music? That is a wide gap in music. I mostly listen to music from 1960s-1990s. I wouldn’t give up my modern technology to go back to the 60s. If I went back to the 60s, I would have to have been born in the 40s.

Fuck yeah they would, I definitely would say that to any zoomers who might be lgbt, growing up in the 90s and 00s, if you were a boy who showed even the slightest hint of femininity, you would be yelled at, bullied, beaten, abused by parents, etc. What they mostly wanna experience is the aesthetics of those decades, not actually live through it.

The funny thing is, the "had better music" is sort of untrue as well. Seriously, today's radio plays garbage 90% of the time, but guess what was happening back then.
The songs 80's and 90's are known for are cherry picked from heaps upon heaps of terrible songs nobody liked.

Major facts
@@ecoRfan somebody said the the early 2020s the best
I was in my teenage in the late 2000s. It was during that time i got really interested in history mostly the Victorian era. i love the fashion, the literature, the architecture and the music. I would express these interests to my friends and they would tell me i was born in the wrong era, but i don't agree on this.
The gap between poor and rich was huge for one thing. If you were born poor during this period in time you would probably die poor. Your chances of ever making a fortune was slim to none. This is a important thing to consider because the things i loved about the era, the fashion, the literature, the architecture and the music, the art and the opera, i wouldn't be able to enjoy any of that unless i was upper middle class or rich.
Lets say i got to go back in time to the Victorian era as a rich noble woman, Loads of money. Lots of time to spend on leisurely activities. Also my allotted goal in life would be to marry, have children and raise them in an appropriate and respectful manner. Most of them marries really young, late teens to early 20s. Because mortality rate was high. Medicine wasn't as advance as it is now so you'd be lucky to be alive past 40.
I was born in the late 90s to a middle class family in a developing country in South Asia. Working in sales and going to college at the same time. But I'm more than privileged than a Victorian era noble woman. I can read Victorian literature on my eBook reader, Listen to classical music pieces on Spotify, Watch period dramas on Netflix, watch operas on RUclips heck even rent out a Historical Victorian House on Airbnb.
Yeah and it gets even worse when you were a non white like Asians and Africans were being oppressed by white colonizers
the Victorian era is the worst time to be born in in my opinion

The amount of information so easily available makes me grateful to be around in this day and age.
I experience this fairly often when talking about music with people much older than me. My dad tells me stories of being a teenager in the very late sixties and through the seventies, and it sounds like it was so cool when buying music on a physical medium was still the only way to do it. Your favorite band drops a new album and so you and your friends go to the record store to buy it on vinyl or 8-track, and there's lots of other fans of the same band there excited to get the new album, you meet other people with similar music taste that way, you get the new record and it looks cool. But I'm certain that it only seems so glamorous to me because I didn't live through that time. Sure it's a great experience, but it requires traveling to a different location during their business hours, you have to pay money for it as where today all my music is completely free, and there's not a certainty you'll get it because it might be sold out, as where digital copies are unlimited. I'm sure that had I lived through the time period my dad did, I wouldn't find it quite such a desirable thing to go back to the past before the internet made it possible for me to download basically any song from any album by any band completely for free and listen to it anywhere and anytime I want to on a device small enough to fit into my pocket.
As someone that likes searching vintage stuff and niches, I confirm that *No* , I _don’t_ think I’m born in the wrong generation.
also i could be wrong but anit part of the fun of vintage stuff that its old and has a story to be told so if you lived in the time it would not have that appeal like the iphone 13 now is just a phone but the frist iphone is you know the frist iphone

I like living in this generation, sometimes i get this spike where I want to be apart of some musical group and you see how much more fun it seemed in the 80s when it was just friends, now its just basically entirely corporated and money based. It's not about making punk rock with the boys, its about being a big music creator just to collaborate with another big music creator. I hope when it comes to music, it becomes about having fun rather than money, and I hope it does go that way with literally anything.

Attention spans have nothing to do with tiktok ,they are different for everybody and even back in the past the attention span was not rly that high ,just becuase someone uses tiktok does not mean they have low attention span and viceversa

Most of the people that I've met that said "I was born in the wrong generation" in real life were the types of people I always saw using their the newest phones.
I grew up in a mix bag I had internet on my phone but when I gone outside I had to use my imagination I didnt go outside that much because I didnt know how to use social media and on top of that I was scared of the unknown when I was young I use to be like them in some way born in the wrong generation but now that I'm old I live if not one of the most greatest generation I'm not saying my generation is perfect but I realized my privilege as a young man in my 20s to take advantage of the things I have.

For real. Everything from music, art, technology. I appreciate what it is, the era it was created in.
Hey I really like your videos, I was born in the '86 and I was a '90s kid. One thing I have to say is that we didn't live in fear like you said. In fact in the '90s it felt really peaceful and there wasn't a lot of war until after September 11th then it's been war ever since. But growing up and watching Bill Clinton gets worn in and stuff like that you felt kind of chill and then all of a sudden all these bad things started happening and they never stopped.
*sworn.
Under Clinton? Peaceful? There was a lot of fear back then to be honest, but I agree with the 9/11 part.
My mom grew up in the 80's, but as she put it she grew up in a hood-like area so it was not very peaceful. Domestic violence, drug abuse, gangs, that sort of thing.
Where we live there's still a lot of drug addiction but it's shifted between neighborhoods. Now the crazy stuff happens in a separate project housing complex.
You're right about these types of people being annoying, but this generation is becoming increasingly desensitized and numb due to the this tech we have. We're raising a generation that doesn't go outside and interact with others and learn the world and is addicted to the dopamine overdose that our phones give us. Nobody is learning to solve simple problems and deal with adversity and its gonna reflect when the complex ones come. All this incompetence is gonna hurt in around 10-15 years when these kids are at the start of their careers and fold at the simplest problem, and its gonna lead to creation of hard times.
1990-2000 is the true goated generation. Late enough to get all that sweet sweet technology but early enough not to have tik tok and twitter.

As somebody who wasn’t born then, I was raised as if it was the 80s. My family calls them selves “leftovers from the 80s” They would dress me in clothes from then, show me movies and I grew up with all old music. We still use cds and vinyl records, and i’m genuinely happy how they raised me. As much as I would love to be in the 80s, i’d rather be in this generation especially since a lot of the older stuff are coming back. Again, i’m so thankful to my family for raising me how they did. And great video!
Dude same here. I was raised like if it was still the 90s. I dint stop using a vcr until 2016 2017 if I remember correctly. I used to love it when my dad just came home with a big ol box of old Disney movies. It felt like I won the home video lottery. But I'm still glad I'm living in modern times, now that we have access to loads of information at our disposal.
Although we did have some of the newest things back in the 2000s, I ended up learning and raising myself in the 80s... Hell I still go to classic arcades because it was one of the things that made the 80s what they are, there was also a lot more of course.
That sounds awesome ngl
I actually did a project on the commercials and advertisements that recommended smoking. What’s worse is that the companies KNEW that smoking was bad and still used doctors to tell people that it was fine.

I think that was kind of a thought back in the 1980s. With a lot of people being nostalgic for the 1950s for stuff in a lot of media from that time frame I think. I'm blanking on some writing pieces that might've talked about this being a thing. But I know they made a joke about this on the Netflix show Inside Job.
Season 1 Episode 5
"The Brettfast Club"
The protagonists go to this town that is perpetually frozen in the 1980s as far as aesthetics and ideologies. And one of the protagonists hates this decade and thinks the things that were really popular back then that one of the other characters likes is dumb and doesn't quite understand love he has behind it.
I’ll be honest, there are some things from the 2000’s and early 2010’s (for reference, I was born in 2010 and am 13 now) I wish I could have experienced because I was either not born yet or too young. However, I can’t imagine myself wanting to live in any era before that. I do have to remind myself time to time how much of a comfortable life I have, and even if I may wish it was slightly different, I appreciate what I have now.

I used to act like this back when I was like 11. I like being gen z. I grew up with content from the 90's and early 2000's (TV and videogames) and I have a real appreciation for it all. I love the things I have now and the privileges that I have that I wouldn't have if I was in those generations

This pretty much sums up the coment section of YT music videos of older songs.
People miss the weirdest things from the past. Mfs in the comments of 1900-1930 videos talking about how well dressed everyone was and how today we've lost our taste in fashion. Meanwhile everyone in those old videos has to wear the same dull sweaty clothes with no ability to express yourself in what you wear.
Personally, I like those olds outfits. Probably because at how fancy and "clean" they are. Poor people in that era dressed 1 million times better than a lot of people today.
@@QuiVierge I mean it looks nice for formal events and all. But people didn't have much freedom on what to wear.
You can be sure they never saw how people dressed in that time, the definition of "fashion" they have of that time are probably some mafia related outfits. 💀
@@QuiVierge my view im not a fan of those outfits i like to wear whatever i want but for formal affairs yes wear that youd look weird otherwise i saw some guy going to weddings in shorts💀
And then there's composition and quality factor of those clothes that is lost through tike because of the camera. For all we know, those clothes are dirty, ripped, wrinkled, and other imperfections.
I feel like it should common knowledge that with each generation we slowly get to a better state of life. Sure, stuff isn't perfect (one look at Twitter can prove that), but you'll never catch me saying I want to live in a less advanced, more dangerous, less inclusive society just for the music.
Today's current society is actually a lot less tolerant than I'd say between 88 and 08. If you disagree even the slightest from the main stream these days you are attacked and censored in a way that didn't happen before . People are also more racist now.
less dangerous? I think you mean more dangerous.

Now I have kids coming up to me trying to pick fights (I'm 19 but I look 13-ish, it's also not always teens/kids doing this stuff). It's like now that it's more in the public again the worse it's getting. I'm starting to get scared dressing like this
I believe that the only reasonable “I wasn’t born in the wrong generation” type thing is if they talking about the future not the past
Just to add I remember hearing once that a lot of the “doctors recommended such and such ciggies” were mostly fake.

I think there is some truth to the sentiments that a lot of people in Gen Z feel like we are the wrong generation. We are a lot more fake. But I’ll be real - I just envy those who grew up in the 90’s and 2000’s as teens and saw the evolution of Hip-hop, RnB and UK Grime and Garage music. The parties back then must have been lit and as someone who’s passionate about music - I really do feel like I missed out on a unique era

I was born in the late 80's, grew through the 90's (Millennials, high five!) and i can tell you that if these lads and ladies knew about the lack of security standards we had back then, they would probably like their generation a bit more. Heck, on of the jokes from the 90's is "I survived the 90's". Imagine going even further back.
Also, no smarthphones, small Internet, almost no computers, and a crap ton of TV and books to be entertained.
EDIT: That fear of not knowing what would happen next because of wars and terrorist attack was real back then. Pretty much everyday it would appear something of the sorts in the news, so much so it was kind of normalized, and some times you ended up with a mindset of not "will this happen to me?" but "when will this happen to me?".
Even people in our generation did that shit. Remember all those hipsters back in colleges collecting vinyl records like "omg I wish I was born in the 50s it was lit" .....yeah they were great, if you weren't black, gay, autistic or all 3.

Also as far as videos go, you'd probably would either have to record stuff on TV for certain shows and everything. If you missed an episode you'd miss it unless they re-aired it and you'd have to look in the newspaper to find when it'd re-air. Those complete season packs changed things. Also there are some shows or movies that are a little harder to find becasue of various rights issues that were modeled around syndication and some music rights that maybe make them super tangled and impossible to be on DVD or streaming. The biggest example I can think of is this show called Murphy Brown. I recall it used a lot Aretha Franklin music and stuff from other musicians that were really good. But I recall there only being one show that is available on DVD and that being season 1. The other seasons I'm not sure if you can watch anywhere, unless that has changed. And I think this other show from the 80s that's like this is this Bruce Willis show that was really popular back then called Moonlighting, lasted 5 seasons. At least according to justwatch, not streaming anywhere. It looks like there's some DVDs around, and they're a little on the pricey. Which I think is probably fair since maybe there's only a certain audiences that maybe remember this show from when it was on the air and things of that sort.
I wasn't born in the wrong generation, I was born with unfortunate timing because I am a 2009 kid meaning I was the last of my generation so when I see people being like "hey gen Z check out these nostalgic things" I just feel left out as I can only relate to certain things that were past the 2010s

Also for music, apps like spotify, RUclips music, Shazam, Apple Music, Deezer, etc. Did not exist back then and it would have been harder to find the song you were looking for. But now, you can find any song you want fast and easy.
I went to high school in the 90s some things were way better. But other things were worse. If I take nostalgia out of it, I would say it’s definitely easier to be a high schooler today. There was a much higher pressure to conform to either the dominant culture or a counter culture. It was much harder to be the type of person who openly loved sports, anime, pop, indie, all at the same time. You either liked hip hop, pop, or rock. There was no in between. At least openly. You either liked anime or thought it was super weird. Most thought it was super weird.
Nerd culture is pop culture. We have all the movies, shows, anime we want. You can be yourself. You guys have communities. We had arcades and shady shops in china town. I see the way my nephews have all these friends online they connect with and play video games with. Playing games online with friends was not even a dream for us. If I saw one fortnite lobby it would have literally blown my mind. To see rappers playing these games too? Crazy.
To see the most popular movies being marvel and Star Wars? Could never have imagined that. Phones with OLED screens?? We had massive crt TVs with 480 pixels and scan lines. To have this beautiful retina imagine in my hands where I can watch movies even play games Is wild. We barely had the internet. You have VR! I would have died for VR yo.
No one cared about our mental health. Toxic masculinity was just the way it was. You couldn’t be gay (openly). You couldn’t hope to be trans (openly). Blacks dated blacks for the most part. Racism is very much still a thing obviously but it was worse. It was never called out.
Feel dumb for writing toward the begging because he basically said all this in the video. But I spent too much time to delete.
Toxic masculinity doesnt exist. You could be gay. You could be trans. Blacks didnt always date blacks. Your definition of racism is flawed. Get Help.
@@detective2221 so 1. Didn’t mean to suggest blacks dating blacks is racist. I actually didn’t define racism at all. Those two observations had nothing to do with each other they just happened to both involve race. That’s my B. I didn’t double check this it was more just random thoughts. 2. Yeah, I was mostly generalizing. Obviously interracial couples have been a thing for a long time. My aunt who is black married a white guy after all. I should have said it was just much less common. Again, didn’t proof read this at all. Same thing with being gay. Obviously people were gay but I grew up listening to music that literally talked about killing gay people. My block is mostly Jamaican so I was bumping Buju Banton every block party. And it was nothing like, we knew what that song was about and agreed with it. My best friend to this day is super homophobic. He’s more a brother and he’s coming around but. It’s just how it was. Same thing with the dip set era no homo stuff. You could openly hate gay people, talk about killing them. And it was nothing.
And toxic masculinity is a thing. If you want to deny that, well that’s on you. But it’s just an objective fact of life.
Our culture pushes men to act aggressively, to not be vulnerable, not show emotions. Like if my friend were to come up to me, give me a big hug, not a bro hug, and then tell me he loves me and then maybe cry about something. I’m going to be highly weirded out by that. I don’t want to, but that’s just how I’ve grown up. Actually I don’t even remember the last time I cried. Not at my wedding or either kids births. But I remember the last time I got into it with someone. So yeah, it’s real.
@@joelman1989 I've always hated emotions, as they are mostly the thing that is currently bringing the current generation down. It's not toxic masculinity to to not be vulnerable. If a man cries, that's him being weak. Why would you cry at a wedding or a kid's birth? Also, you all put so much emphasis on toxic masculinity, but we never call out toxcicity on the female side. It's like we hate to call them out on anything bad. That is mostly part of the culture today that men are bad and women have to tell them everything to do. I think feminist have gone off the rails, which has definitely decreased the sanity of today's generation. A good saying to summarize the feminist movement today is "you give them a inch, they take a mile." as that is exactly what is happening with not only the feminist movement, but with the lgbt movement as well. We started giving them too much and not taking away, that it started to come back to bite us.
@@detective2221 bro if you don’t like emotions that’s completely ok. Actually lots of autistic people don’t feel much emotion. That’s not shade, my son is autistic (but that’s not a symptom he has). Anyway. It’s a whole other thing to restrict what other men should do though. And the funny thing is if you actually were tuned into what people are talking about you would know that people talk about female toxicity all the time. For example I was just having a conversation on how women feel like they constantly need to compete with each other and that’s why it’s hard for many women to have genuine friendships. The problems are just different. But yeah, what happens is you are fed by algorithms all of the bad takes and some of the good ones out of context. You’re not really tuned into what people are saying. Like how many people still think were saying masculinity is in oneself toxic when that’s not it at all. Masculinity is perfect. It’s when we emphasis toxic traits like anger as a substitute for sadness, glorifying violence, etc, that it becomes toxic.
But it’s not that serious man. Like no one is hurting you by talking about this stuff. And it actually helps people like me figure out why we feel messed up.
