The 14 Most Irritating Questions People Born In The 2000s Ask
Kids these days!
1. What are “floppy disks” and what made them flop?
Floppy disks aren’t floppy, so don’t say that to anyone else, OK? They were hard. And they were basically like external hardrives but without all the fancy stuff.
2. What are “land lines?”
LOL. I’m laughing that you just asked this. Before cell phones, these things existed and kids had to call each other’s HOUSES and risk talking to someone else’s parents.
3. Who is Jonathan Taylor Thomas?
SERIOUSLY?! WOWOWOWOW. He was only the biggest heartthrob of the ’90s. Use Wikipedia or something!!
6. What’s “dial-up?”
YOU AND YOUR FRIGGEN WIRELESS INTERNET. Once upon a time you couldn’t even be on the phone AND the computer at the same time, you know that??? Oh yeah, and dial-up is, like, an excruciatingly long internet connectivity process. It sounds like this:
7. What are Beanie Babies?
Are you serious?? They are little animals stuffed with BEANS, and everyone had, like, 100.
8. Where are they now?
Are you still talking about Beanie Babies? They are in a box, OK? They’ll be worth something one day.
9. What’s a “beeper”?
Oh, dear child, so many things you do not know. This is a device that let you get notifications when someone was trying to reach you. And before you ask your next question, NO, it was not like a cell phone. You had to use another phone to call back.
10. Who is Sisqo?
Only a brilliant musician/artist who wrote the “Thong Song.” You should really learn to appreciate music of past generations!
11. Who is Carmen Sandiego?
WHY? WHO’S ASKING? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HER WHEREABOUTS?????
12. What are “Dinkaroos?”
First of all, It’s DUNKAROOS. Second of all, they were a a perfectly packaged cookie/icing combo that you kids will never have the joy of experiencing.
13. What is a VHS?
Before all the fancy DVR and “On Demand” stuff that exists these days, there were tapes like these that you put into your TV and they played movies. You could even record your favorite soap operas on blank VHS tapes and save them to watch later.
14. Who are the Spice Girls, and why are they named after a seasoning?
I’M GONNA PRETEND YOU DIDN’T EVEN ASK THAT QUESTION. But since you did…they are only the best female singing group that will ever exist on THIS PLANET. And it doesn’t matter what their name is — why, are you named JERRY?!

kathrynr9 a month agoWe still have a dial phone (red!) that I use to make calls sometimes. My kids are amazed. I showed them a 3.5” disc the other day, and we had a turntable for a while, too. I feel old when I tell them there were no personal computers when I was growing up, and I had to learn DOS (“What’s that?”) to use the VAX at college.

I was at a meeting last year with a bunch of twentysomethings where one of them made a reference to “something called acid-washed jeans.” The puzzled group pondered what this was, exactly (and I said absolutely nothing)… the guy who brought them up eventually said, “I think people wore them back in the 80’s… they were sorta like stone-washed jeans I guess…”

jenniferb74 a month agoTwo years ago I was in my car (a bare-bones 2001 Hyundai Accent), getting ready to leave my sister’s house, and my six-year-old niece knocked on the window to tell me one last thing. I rolled down the window and she looked at me in astonishment. “How did you put down the window when your car isn’t turned on??” she asked, agog. It was like witchcraft to her! And it kind of depressed me to realize she had no concept of what it was like to ride in a car without power windows or locks.

Golden Arrow 2 months agoSisqo and The Spice Girls? Really? Out of every band or song you could have picked over a 10 year period; Sisqo and The Spice Girls? If I thought this was the music of a generation I would assume the whole generation must be missed some gray matter.

superneato a month agoI think it’s fair to say the spice girls took the younger teenage girls by storm, for a few years at least? I know I was like 15 when that came out and I remember a lot of girls were absolutely obsessed, but I’m not sure it lasted long enough to define a generation.

Lolhelper 2 months agoOh, just shup up. I was born in ‘82 and find this article stupid, also, who the f#ck was that sisqo guy? What a lousy song he got there, glad I never heard of him. And hey, who cares if we had it “rough” with technology, I for one love today’s new technology and try to stay updated as long as I can.

20sgirl86 2 months agoDunkaroos are still around. And so what if kids today don’t know that stuff? I grew up in the 90s, I was born in 86 (yes im very old) and I don’t know what a lot of the stuff from the early 80s or 70s are. Everyone acts like the teens today are idiots. People are always ignorant about products that existed a decade before they were born. Get over it.

Cosbylove 2 months agoUghh. Someone should make one of these for the people born in the 90s.yell at them for things they dont need to care about from before they were born. Plus…people born in the 2000s are middle schoolers. Did you give a shit about anything mundane that happened in pop culture or technogical advances from before you were born? Probably not. Youre getting old, dont be bitter about it.
