    IMO, this collage should add more R-rated movies like Robocop and The Terminator. Yeah, they're R-rated movies, but the kids definitely bugged their parents to buy the toys. Robocop, The Terminator, Aliens, Predator. Actually, now that I'm on full nostalgia mode, this is missing a lot of toys. I guess it's kinda hard to do toys since they're cross-generational although it would be pretty funny to see yo-yos show up in every other section. The Matrix not being part of Core Gen Y is also pretty bad. I remember everybody from The Simpsons to Shrek spoofing bullet time.

    This is pretty male gendered. Like, girls did more than play Barbie for 60 years. No Lisa Frank artwork, no Bratz, no Hello Kitty. Also kinda weird how there's no pop stars. I can guarantee you as someone who lived during that time period that 6 year old girls were into Britney Spears and Nsync. Tell me with a straight face kids in the 80s weren't doing the thriller dance.

    If I had to guess who made the collage, it's an early Gen Z dude who's watches too many cartoons and who's online too much but at least has the self-awareness to not flood the Gen Z part of the collage with memes.
