WTF WEDNESDAY PRESENTS
This week's WTF WEDNESDAY is Ukinojoe's satirical lament from the perspective of a previously one-off character that appeared as a representative of a viewer's comment, 90s Nick. As I'm a 90s kid, I get both the nostalgia and the frustration towards this nostalgia that is all over the internet; our generation is getting older and, like every generation, we think our childhood was the best and, through our jaded eyes, what the kids are into these days doesn't compare. I feel sympathy for this character because he is unable to move on from his childhood; in the frustrated world of adulthood nothing is as cool as it was in cartoons. Or something like that.... I also get the irony of most of the things I post on this blog feeding off of 90s nostalgia. Anways, here is a transcript of 90s Nick's Lament:
"Remember the 90s?
The 90 were so much better.
Everything was better in 90s.
Here is the 90s. If you don't remember:
You did not have a childhood.
You were not a child.
You retroactively did not exist.
Remember Bobby's World?
It was a good show!
You're too young to remember.
It was a good show!
We had Nintendo 64. You don't.
Things were better than. Now all is lost.
Including hope.
Which is dead.
We had:
Nintendo games,
Bowling alleys,
Pizza parties,
McDonald's,
Skating rinks,
Ice cream,
Nickelodeon,
Cartoon Network,
Elmer's glue,
Safety scissors,
Tootsie rolls,
Combos,
Swimming pools,
O.J. Simpson,
Green Day--
We had Green Day.
What do kids these days have? Nothing.
The 90s are over. All that's left is despair.
The day the 90s died, all joy died.
This generation, they don't know
They don't know.
Kids these days,
kids these days.
This generation they don't know.
They missed out. "
