    Y2K trends of the '90s

    See this is where it gets confusing, does the Zoomer generation begin in the late 90's or early 00's, because if it's the first then wouldn't it be treading on the Millenial generation?

      Generations arent real, they're just abother way for the bourgeoisie to divide the working class and set it against itself

      I think gen z is 1995-2010 or something like that, so nostalgia for the 90s is more of a millennial thing since most zoomers either barely remember it or didn't exist then

        It's more a retro thing than actual nostalgia. 70's fashion was big when I (a millennial) was a teenager. These things go in cycles, which is why this article misleading

        Makes sense. Hard to be nostalgic for an era in which you were still in diapers or in kindergarten. Most adults feel nostalgic for their teenage years and 20s, I think.

          I think one of the points of this is that it's saying Zoomers of today are nostalgic for something before their childhood - because their childhoods were so awful due to economic problems and growing up with social media 24/7
