    The last person to die who was born in the 90’s isn’t a 90’s kid, or at least won’t remember the 90’s.

      As if someone born on December 31st 1999 wouldn’t self identify as a 90’s kid

      Source: I was born in 1998 and I’m nostalgic of Nirvana, a group that disbanded before I was born

          I hear that a shotgun was involved or something like that? I guess they were always arguing about who would sit in the front of the bus and it got so bad they just stopped playing

            Technically, they could have. But it wouldn’t have really been Nirvana without Cobain. It was pretty much Cobain’s cult of personality. If they had tried to continue without him, it would have been another one of those bands that starkly contrasts between before and after and the comment above would have been about never knowing Nirvana in its heyday.

            Even if the continuation was good (and Dave Grohl is proof that there was enough talent for it in the rest of the band), it would have still been tainted by the lack of Cobain.

        I was born in the 80’s but never have I ever considered myself an “80’s kid”, because that’s not really a meme, as much as all “only 90’s kids will remember”.

      IDK, it’s not impossible that someone who was born in the 80s will live go be freakishly old and outlive all the 90s kids.

      not probable, but who knows, maybe they somehow avoided eating plastic based baby food or some shit.

        I remember Berlin, Challenger, and that dumb fuck Regan.

        I don’t remember anything “90s kids” had because we were poor and all I had access to was PBS and some hand-me-down toys.

        I didn’t even know what Nickelodeon was.
