  • Holy fuck! Considering that even the kids born from 1990 onwards already scare me... This is TERRIFYING! I'm from 85 yet i feel a whole generation away from the people born 90 onwards. I can't even begin to imagine what it'll be like in the 2030s.....

  • And kids born in 1990 probably sounded ridiculous and ignorant to earlier generations.

    And kids born in 1980 probably sounded ridiculous and ignorant to earlier generations.

    Etc.

  • This video sums up the mindset list of the Class of 2018:

    - Napster means nothing to them

    - Britney Spears has always been a controversial figure

    - They were infants during 9/11

    - Michael Jackson has always been dead

    - They never used dial-up internet

    - For half their lives America has always elected a black President

    - Throughout their lives Americans has always feared terrorists

  • Umm well let's see, they weren't even born yet when Britney spears came out, babies during 9/11. This is pretty stupid asking them these questions.

  • Lol these kids don't know shit about 9/11.I was born in 1996, I started forming memories in 1999, but they where very vague. Vivid memories formed from 2000 on up,so I would remember 9/11 even though I wasn't politically aware at that time

  • @gsgssgdgdgsd Well I was born in 1985 and remember 9/11 differently than you do being 15yrs old at that time when 9/11 happened .Speaking of vivid memories forming I remember the 1993 waco incident, and the 1995 OKlahoma city.I sure do fell sorry for those kids not getting to experience the positive things in the decade of the 90's i.e economic prosperity, parting like it's 1999 with the arrival of the Y2K in which it was the biggest celebration ever.

  • Interesting video, but these kids are lying through their teeth about 9/11. They were only a year old when it happened. I was a year old during the Gulf War and I certainly don't recall anything about it.

  • they ain't 2000s kids, they will be 2010s kids

    In 2017, they will remember just small memories of the 2000s.

    Its like me, I was born in 1992.

    I remember a few things of the 1990s, but I'm a 2000s kid, not 90s kid.

  • @sebbspato2 what month in '92?

  • I was born in 95,the first memory on the computer I had was on a Windows 98 in 2000,and seriously these kids dont all know about 9/11? I remember it being on the news and such while reading headlines on next day papers. I still wish I was born in 1992 though.

  • @TrandomnesstwO I was born in 95 too

  • MJ's death was definitely not the biggest news story. 9/11 or the invasion of Iraq, or any other truly major event was. Fail.

  • I was born in 1993 so i'm still considered very young.

    But i think it's normal to not know alot about the early decade and decades before you until you reach your teens, then you learn huge amounts of information, you start reading books that are at least 30 years old and watching hundreds of movies from the 80's and 90's.

    Maybe that's just me but i remember playing SNES, watching Terminator and listening to lots of music from the early 90's and late 80's.

  • wow im 12 i was way smarter when i was 9

  • Comment removed

  • Wow I feel old. At first yes, you think how can they not know this stuff, but when you then back to when you 9 or so what did you remember? I was born late '89. I don't remember the Gulf War or anything except maybe the O.J. Simpson case from the early 1990s. I can remember things from later on such as Columbine or Clinton's scandal. If someone were to ask me back then what was biggest news in my life time, I probably would've answered Columbine because it was very recent and stuff.

  • because we were very active as kids i don't remember the NFL or MLB making a sponsership to get kids to get active because we didn't have ipods, psp, cell phones, etc.. all we had were GB ...these kids are limited to what they do which is probably y they know whats up w/ current events

  • VictimOfBoredom

    once again im not talking about medical break throughs im talking about unnecessary technology. The global water supply is becoming worse. education has become much less of a priority. instead we r pooring tax dollars into war. HIV,cancer,and alzhimers r on the rise ALL over the world. BILLIONS of people are STILL starving ALL over the world not only in 3rd world countries, we r not that special, we r worse because we are destroying things for future generations.

  • What is "unnecessary technology" to you?

    Diminishing water supply, HIV, and cancer have nothing to do with technology and everything to do with lifestyle.

    More people are educated now than ever before in the history of mankind.

    War is less prevalent now that it ever has been in the history of mankind.

    Alzheimer's is only becoming a problem because people are finally living long enough to experience it.

    [cont]

  • [cont]

    Starvation has dramatically decreased on every continent but Africa, and TECHNOLOGY is to thank for this. Besides, starvation, again, has nothing to do with technology.

    You're not making any actual points. Yes, the world still has many problems. But that does that have to do with "technology gagits"? Either way, the world is better now for more people than it has ever been in human history. You must be rather ignorant of history to think of it as some peaceful utopian paradise.

  • VictimOfBoredom

    im talking about MODERN technology.. the kinda that has existed since the industrial revolution. think first before you make a remark

  • Yes, back when the average life expectancy was 50 and millions of people died from diseases that are now treatable. Back when children died from starvation and women died from childbirth. Back when education and knowledge were only available to the aristocratic elite, and when most people were illiterate. Yeah, *those* were the days. -_-

  • technology gagits r mindless! how we rely so much on them will be are down fall! all the new generation wil know is technology, when thats all u know it becomes something u cant live without. Y in the past100years there has become such a NEED? when people in history have lived perfect without it? I can only imagine what the next100years will bring when there is not1person on the plant that still remembers what it was to live without technology that we as a human race have become so dependant on

  • Technology has existed for as long as mankind has existed.

  • @VictimOfBoredom Most of technological 'breakthroughs' of the 2000s were related to communication devices, or large storage of low quality mp3s. Really not that impressive. We had the internet and cell phones in the 90s, the difference was it wasn't all 12 year old girls using them. The internet is flooded with stupidity, Facebook, Myspace, all narcissistic and very unhealthy for kids. Not to mention the music industry is now a borderline PORN industry. Good influences :|

  • @FuckingStanz

    "large storage of low quality mp3s. Really not that impressive."

    It's your choice if you decide to fill a three-terabyte hard drive with low quality mp3s. Really not the computer engineers' fault.

    The Internet is flooded with more knowledge—cultural, historical, scientific, social, technical, and everything else—than has ever existed at any point prior in the entire history of mankind.

    The music industry is doing just fine—popular music has always been crass.

  • @VictimOfBoredom Yeah it's your choice if you want to have quality audio and search out intellectual content, and hardly anyone these days does it. One of the great things about the 90s was quality content was pushed on average people.

    And the music industry is not doing fine, lmao.

  • @FuckingStanz There were plenty of people who thought grunge (Kurt Cobain was the emo kid of his day), pop-punk (Green Day was their Jonas Brothers), and pre-nu-metal (i.e., Slipknot and KoRn) were all utter garbage, not to mention the actual pop music by the likes of 'N Sync, the Spice Girls, and Britney Spears.

    90s music wasn't all Tool, Radiohead, and the Black Crowes.

    MMMBop. Never forget.

  • @VictimOfBoredom Even the bad artists you listed were far superior to the 2000s best mainstream offerings.

    The 90s were objectively better. Or perhaps 'less shitty'. Deal with it. 

  • @FuckingStanz I personally can't even stand to listen to most of the artists I listed, even if some of them (namely, Tool) used to be my favorites, and I'll take 2000s music over them any day. Their music served their time well, but the same thing over and over again gets boring ("retro" nostalgia just leads to acts like Puddle of Mudd and Avenged Sevenfold), and just as we're no longer the same as we were pre-9/11, neither should our music remain stagnant and unchanging.

    My 2¢.

  • @VictimOfBoredom Well you listed mainstream 90s artists. The underground scene in the 90s beats the underground scene of today as well.

  • @FuckingStanz Considering there are thousands of retro-oriented musical acts who play in same styles as their inspirations from the 90s and prior, I'd say there's nothing that existed in the 90s that isn't still being made now, with the only notable difference being that it's obviously inherently no longer groundbreaking or innovative. Not to mention all the folks who debuted in the 90s (or prior) and are still making the same music...

  • @VictimOfBoredom Well that's exactly the point, theres nothing new or original anymore. The 2000s was all about pillaging the past. Whereas in the 90s, there was something new around every corner.

  • @FuckingStanz There are plenty of new things going on in music in this era—you just don't seem to like any of it. To use some obvious examples, songs like "ET" and "Just Can't Get Enough" are undoubtedly sonically without precedent—like it or not, that makes them new. ;)

    For those not afraid of pop music, there's plenty going on. Give it a whirl—John Cage will still be there when you get back.

  • "9/11 is the phone call for the police," LOL hahaha are you sure those are 4th graders?????

  • It's so weird. When you're first born to about 15 years old, you still think of yourself as part of a younger generation. Then, you listen to young kids, and they don't know any of the major things that happened when we were growing up. It's crazy. I guess that's what our parents always used to say about feeling old. I had a computer when I was that age, but it was just a crappy Windows 98. I barely even went on the internet. These kids go on YouTube and download music to their iPods and PSPs!

  • Very good work for not captioning the video. I can't understand what the F is being said.

  • Yeah let's think about it for a second geniuses. These kids were born in the year 2000! And when did 9/11 happen? Oh yeah that's right 2001...

    Why would any 9 yr old have vivid memories of such a horrific event at the age of 1? Don't worry I will await for all the nonsensical bullshit answers to my question.

  • because they probably read the book from the library.

  • lol WTF that doesn't mean they had vivid memories..i agree w/ PDFOUR on this one i remember wat happened when i heard the new cuz i was in 6th grade

  • hahah i still remember when I didnt have internet. of course i was a lil kid then. but damn

    and you really can't expect these kids to remember the first couple years of the 2000s, they were babies. i don't remember squat from before 1995. and the michael jackson death was so recent and overexposed by the media of course they'll say thats the biggest news in their lifetime.

  • this has to be in santa ana or something. I like how they went to the poorest area of orange county....probably cause the rest of the county is hardcore republican so the kids may have had different answers about global warming lol.

  • Michael Jackson died? wtf

  • I was born in 1989. At age 9 I was just as ignorant about The Gulf War (1991) as these kids are about 9/11. You can't expect them to remember something from when they were 1-year-old.

    I probably would have some vague recollection about the clinton scandal. These kids remember MJ's death is no different. It doesn't "show what kind of culture we live in" it shows that one-year-olds don't watch the news and the MJ story was much more recent, after the kids acquired language geeez...

  • shittiest generation ever

  • Soooooo sweeeet...

  • wtf makes you think you are all high and mighty. racists like you are the lowest of the low. You don't own this country and for a quick recap of US history, this nation was founded by immigrants. And i gotta tell ya, there are loads of americans that are oblivious to what is happening outside of the economy, many can't even speak english themselves.

  • ''Orange County, Calif. ''

    in relation to the idiotic comment on the fact they were ''hispanics'' and ''asian''.

    fucking close minded twat.

  • these kids will most definitely be more computer/gadget literate. that is not a blight on them. it is just the way it is. there is no need to fret about their future just because the biggest news for them is michael jackson's death. heck blame the networks and cable news for that one. i think i would be more concerned if they were interviewing 16-year old kids who would give the same/similar response to these 9-year old children (regarding the biggest news story, that is).

  • The fact that they never heard the sound of dial up makes me feel like the human race really has a little hope left for progress.

  • This obviously isn't a poor neighborhood for them to not know what dial-up sounds like.

    I would put MJ's death behind 9/11 definitely, but other than that it's hard to rank between tragic and sad events and happy ones(like Obama's story).

  • This is so amazing. Quite alot of us remember this decade, and at least one before it. But I don't think we really take the time to wonder what this decade has been like for kids who were born in 2000 or later. This is a great vid, thanks. :)

    But it makes me feel old! XD

  • i love how the video says "The decade according to 9 year olds" when it's clearly only hispanics and a couple asians, and like someone said, "the random jew" lmao

  • lol there's like 1 white kid and the rest are all hispanic

  • straightofdahood, u make fun of these kids for not understanding global warming, but don't forget we had a president for eight years that couldn't explain it either.

  • also, any parent who buys a two-year-old a computer probably needs to have their head examined.

  • shows what kind of culture we're living in when they say the biggest news story of the decade was michael jackson's death...

  • gah, i'm still afraid of bloody mary, even if it's just a drink!

  • Ok, there just kids. it's not like we were all walking geniuses when we were kids so give them a break. Honestly, i think its funny and the world is much different than it used to be. This video just shows how much its changed in the past 10 years.

  • the end is hilarious lol

  • Wow i guess there are no white people in americas future. Just hispanics, asians, and the random jew.

  • did that comment really come from a 53yr old? lol

  • @thefreespeechwarrior For the record, being American is a NATIONALITY not a RACE or a RELIGION.

  • I can't wait till these kids are 20(like me now) So I can laugh at them and tell them how much their childhood sucked...seriously these mofos are spoiled and stupid now, fuck these kids...

  • i feel old. :(

  • Wow, I didn't know what a terrorist was until I was an adult. Times have changed.

  • They really have, and I almost feel bad for these kids. We had crap happen in the 80's and 90's but we grew up like all kids should, without a worry in the world. Look around you. All you hear now is Barack Obama this, Terrorism that. Iraq this, Global Warming that. The list goes on. That's what they were trying to prove with the questions in this video. I love my internet, iPod, and so on, but life was so much less complicated when the most technologically advanced thing in the house was a TV.

  • 1 minute later, the video starts.

  • LoL when I'm 80's I'll tell my grand kids stories about when i was a kid I had to wait 3 minutes to access the internet.

  • @JayR1784 Where you like 12yrs old during the mid 90s?Since I remember those days in the mid to late 90s using the computer with AOL internet and had to wait the dialing sound until the internet connected in which it took me 3 minutes.I sure do remember those days "AOL you've got mail".

  • @chec2002

    Do you really feel THAT proud about bragging about your age? Even though no one gives a shit?

  • damn kids never heard of dial up...

    spoiled bastards.

  • this was good, makes me feel kind of old lol
