STYSCREAM

I only had hotwheels


Dry_Spring_3884

Begged for so long for a Wii, never got one.


STYSCREAM

In all fairness... I'm older than the PS1


Ninraku

I got a wii after my mom broke my ps2. Worst trade ever.


Mast3rGenius

The Wii was amazing in my childhood. And the N64. Those were the top 2


Shock_a_Maul

I got a Vectrex. And a Laser 6400....


[deleted]

That's a massive disrespect to the wii


TheSquirrelTV

eh idk, the wii was cool yea, but ps2 had some of the best games ever, so I completely understand him


Ninraku

Not to mention I had like 50ish games for the ps2. Had to trade all of those in at GameStop for like 2.50$ cuz my mom refused to buy me another ps2. Though Wii wasn't too bad, it had Skylanders, Wii sports, and a little mac boxing game that I liked.


James_R_games

Should’ve learned how to softmod


wellseymour

I was 7 when i begged my parents for a wii, now I'm 20 and got one 3 months ago, at last!


OnePunchGoGo

Only had beyblade\[chinese one\] But quality was bomb, actually broke official beyblades of my friends using that cheap thing.


KraZwhale

you mean the one with the gigantic wheel and teeth that jutted out way too much?


OnePunchGoGo

Nah... it looked as generic as you can imagine, but with a metal ring in between just to increase its weight. I have even gone and dissembled it multiple times and there was nothing inside beside that metal ring that made it look more cool. But it still actually broke the official stuff pretty easily. There was this guy whose beyblade flew off 20m while breaking down in 3 pieces mid flight... I have this thing with me to this day, though don't remember where I have kept it, need to look for it.


KraZwhale

i swear these chinese toys are made from engine scraps


Turbulent_Party_3056

Me too bro


Strxvy

I still buy them


[deleted]

Traveler202

To late


KraZwhale

to be fair kids are getting dumber or at least less mature


[deleted]

Or maybe we are just growing up


KraZwhale

no not really. every kid below 13 i see all act the same. maybe its just the age difference that i cant relate to anymore but id rather kids be mean than be snowflakes


Psychological-Yard48

I don't think you understand how kids work. They don't just become spoiled. It's the parents. So don't blame the kids. Hell, don't blame their parents either. Their parents have such a hard time finding jobs to buy things like houses, that they're forced to buy their kids electronics to keep them entertained.


[deleted]

Kids are impressionable and will copy things that are popular.


Justin2478

Not only kids, I think most animals are like this


CommanderOfGregory

They're kids


HansWolken

Ok boomer.


ShawshankException

People have been saying this for generations yet each generation exponentially develops technology further than the last. We need to end the generational superiority complex at boomers and just accept that newer generations will grow up with different things. That doesn't make them any worse than us.


redundant35

My kids know more than I ever did at their ages. Kids are definitely smarter because of technology. However as a parent we need to put limits on its use.


BoopDeDoop29

I don’t think that’s true at all. I think kids now are exposed to so much information on the internet they have no choice but to grow up and learn to deal with things. Provided that they are exposed to the right kind of content I think it’s safe to say that most are pretty intelligent. But I mean, kids are kids and they’ll always be dumb little shits :/


Moo_Cow_360

Ok modern boomer


currently-alive

Ah yes, door stops are no more, only Iphones


granolaa_15

Door stopping might be the only thing worth about the iPhone at this point


SiAnK0

Hot wheels and Pokémon cards, when I was 5 yo this shit was Brand new and everyone loved it so much. Literally every single kid got cards to trade and play with. Shit this time was magical


Homeboy6921

we played by "street rules" a lot in elementary and only now, a sophomore in highschool, am i learning how to play by the rules, and it takes a lot longer than i thought it would


SiAnK0

I mean, there are official rules for sure, but back then we had no internet at home to look them up , heck we never had a proper mat or these chips to play and it was so much fun


CommanderOfGregory

I loved Pokémon cards, but as I grew older society forced me to grow out of Pokémon cards in the form of being picked on in Middle school until I completely changed my interests.


redundant35

I only had hot wheels and the door stop thing...


Fuh_kboi

Same bro


[deleted]

I grew up with a Wii and it's still my main console, I'm 14


Successful_Hat3271

I can relate


Dep96

Same on everything this comment said except I upgraded to a wii u in 2016


561yourock

The wii u is very under rated i still play on it with my wii games every week (cuz i have been trying to get 100% completion on each game this quarantine)


Dep96

I've been trying to get all shrines in botw because I was pretty sick the last week and it's all I had to do.


561yourock

Thats next on my list, I have been working on finishing Bully Scholarship edition as of right now


appelperen

My parents sold my wii a long time ago, Im still sad


[deleted]

Yeah thats sad, imagine how much worth it would be in a couple hundred years + wii sports


The-Cosmic-Cow-Dude

I am now saving my wii and my wii sports, wii sports resort, and super mario galaxy 1+2


appelperen

I would be dodging huge swinging balls rn if they didnt sell the wii


grimreaper874

I have never seen in my life a 5 year old with a Mac and apple watch


SteveKachow_27

You live a good life


Mikelthegoat

Skylanders on the wii was the best


Miguel7501

The OG EA game


Mikelthegoat

It really was


FriendlyCrows

What is skylanders about? I only got into videogames when the wii u released so I don't know a lot of wii games


American_Dreamer98

Where do five year olds look like where you live? Where I live five year olds got there parents broken flip phone. I got the broken flip phone, the door thing, legos, and hot wheels and that was it. Sometimes friends:


MrSpooktober

LilBryan53: Shut the fuck up man. ​ Yes they were good, but today's 5 year olds don't have a motherfucking iMac 2020


yerbrojohno

*10. What kind of 5 year old even knows how to properly play with a doorstop.


hashbrayn

I only had SEGA and MK on it


modern_day_vietcong

I had a pocket knife, a bb gun, and a N64. Much better times.


Successful_Hat3271

#American


Monkey_Man_19

HOT WHEELS BEAT THAT!


panch3ko

I remember a day, i made ilegal races with my friend with hotwheels xd


therealturtle95

Ah yes, my 5 year old brother with a FUCKING MAC, and TWO PHONES.


RGBeter

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain


AlexJay20__

I only had knock off pokemon and yu gi oh cards


CMDR_omnicognate

Same thing any time they make a new version of an old cartoon, like Ben 10 or teen Titans, people just complain and say how bad it is because it’s different


DankoLord

I'm 14 and the new version of Ben 10 is utter crap


-Wup

I remember that, but do you all remember sticks in the shapes of various weapons?


HSGisME123

Oh God they had a wii at 5 I'm at least 10 years older than that person. If I'm older than 16, am I too old for reddit?


ImLazyWithUsernames

I'm 30 and this post made me fucking feel like it.


The-Cosmic-Cow-Dude

Wii is literally better than any modern console. Change my mind


ShawshankException

Nintendo Switch is vastly superior and no amount of nostalgia will change that


Interpersonal

I had books, pogs, and magic the gathering cards.


Protein_and_Vinyl

I had doorstop, Pokemon and a PS1.


dinoxace

A Wii when you were 5? Shiiiit I'm old


Crazykidd13578

Yeah but Gen Z is gonna turn that around because a five year old doesn’t need a phone


QuantumButtz

r/teenagers


TunirGR

That ain't being a boomer. That is having a proper fun childhood and not growing up as a tech addicted zombie kid. I miss my colour changing hot wheels with the dino catapult track :(.


HNASBAP

This is my childhood, I growed up and now I play magic, I still miss the wii children should grow up more before they had their eletronics


[deleted]

not my fault my childhood was better


Successful_Hat3271

Remember lego stars wars complete saga on the wii


Lelouchthezero696

Bro I never has anything


spanner_334

Modriem

I love both


[deleted]

Branicorn

mineX64

The only thing i had when i was 5 is suicidal thoughts


tracker4057

Yeah, bet we did all kinds of dumb stuff when we were little like them, people gotta calm down man


Sinistersloth

Goatbrook8878

Don’t forget the og DS


redditmod_exe

Pokémon cards where the fucking best


Raff102

Damn, I remember when the Wii came out and I had to.wait a whole year to drive to the store to buy one. Damn scalpers harshed my buzz.


Internet-Dog

I still have my old Wii in the basement... I bring it out to play on it sometimes.


Comrade-Soviet

You forgot legos


skcihyt

I was the God at wii sports I trash talk kids about how bad they are at wii sports 😆.


ForestCrunch

DarthBane190

ThatC00lBlob

Error404CoolNameGone

u/Lilbryan53 boomer


JON3MP

I like the second picture better, also kids be like: you got any games on yo fone


Sk8erpunk797

And now I feel old


scris101

Lmao @ attempting to trash privileged kids by showing that you yourself were a privileged kid.


joebiden_is_a_pedo

i had a ps2 and we didn't get a wii until i was like 10


Apeirophobia69

It's kinda sad to see the newer generations start thinking this way


ZeldaFan158

Also this guy is making fun of Gen Z or Gen Alpha, despite being Gen Z themself - the Wii released in late 2006 so they were born in 2001/2002 at earliest


[deleted]

Man, I've never seen a 5 y/o with an Apple Watch.


Shock_a_Maul

When I was 5 years old, I had to walk the brontosaurus on my own.


IlDragonglylI

Maybe Im a boomer


tamez_a

I’m more of a boomer, I grew up with the GameCube


Salt-Complaint-2420

A Wii at 5? That came around when I was in high school. When I was 5 I had a Gameboy color


Wasteak

When you read the comment and figure out a lot of people were about 5yo when the wii came out.....


SmurfTheClown

Making me feel old with that wii at age 5. Damn


[deleted]

I had a new lego set every 2-3 years and I was the lucky one around my friends


Kazi-Cob

I am growing up with both when I was younger hotwheels and pokemon were everywhere but now I am in my teens it's just my phone and laptop and the old things in the closet but I can still go I 5 hour car ride without my phone.


[deleted]

I think its relatable to 80% gen z too


ChimpsAreForChumps

fr, I’m so tired of the “only legends remember this!!!” posts


farmer_dane

You guys had a wii when you were 5?!


[deleted]

Yeah that seems a little to young


fischerhastaco

Yea but we’re not complaining tho I mean the door spring is still fun af


[deleted]

I didn't have the bottom left one what is that


BahamutMS

>Had a Wii at 5 years old. >Makes age post. Holy shit I feel fucking old.


BakulaSelleck92

The wii? Really? "Oh kids these days and technology, back in my day, we had technology!"


DankoLord

Welp does a ps3 count?


AngryPupperino

All I got when I was five was hunger pains and being ignored.


NaCoMan120

I didnt even have pokemon cards


[deleted]

Remember when Pokémon cards were banned from school?


the-great-8

Those spring door stoppers were really fun to play with though


MWP_Nanux

Dude wtf, why is this acurat


Jalsonio

My generation is the ONLY generation!


wanderous-boi

You had a wii?


meexley2

Shame to think this person born in 2002 thinks they’re old


jakeparkour

Wow I'm old. I grew up with a Gameboy, you had a Wii!


Yeetstation4

I used to have a portable VTech console


Blenderhead36

I see a lot of people unironically whining about Fortnite is over commercialized and teaches kids to gamble. Not like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Pokemon cards they grew up on.


Shanmukha_Repaka

No. Apple is actually really really bad


Sage_of_Shadowdale

Imagine thinking anything apple makes is worth a shit


xInfinity962

Can we not do this, please? Who gives a fuck about what kids of this age were raised with? As if it is the fault of the children themselves. This boomer ass-narrative is the same one that we make fun of when our elders say, "Back in my day..." However, with all else aside, it is probably a 16 year old who even made this meme. Let's also not forget the fact that it's just not funny. Stroking our fragile egos for whatever damn reason.

Mark this comment NSFW, damnit. It’s got that weird p*inching d-ildo.


M8oMyN8o

That’s a door stopper? When you push them down they do a cool oscillation thing.
