17 Things Kids Of This Generation Will Never Understand

Can you believe that it has been more than 20 years since Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge came out?

For all the 90s kids out there, every day reminds you how fast time is really passing by and how old the younger population makes us feel. But yeah, we still feel that our generation had the most fun. We had fun at a time when everyone did not feel guilty about the environment and we burst a thoudsand crackers in Diwali. We played Holi with ‘chemical’ colors and an outing meant camping and trekking, not a weekend at a mall.

Time is passing by too quickly, so let’s relive our best times we had in our childhood.

1. The ‘real’ Cartoon Network

Not the Doraemon crap of this generation! We watched the real cartoons that had characterization and were genuinely funny!

 

2. Skipping stones during the monsoon season

And then it became a competition between friends as to who will get the most skips.

 

3. The good old gully cricket and the batting order behind the bat

Then randomly selecting the 1s in the sand and hoping that you went to bat first!

 

4. Square school bags

Before oval schools bags took over, these bags were the best to keep your books in better condition. They could hold books in two rows!

 

5. Adjusting the antenna on the rooftop to catch your favorite cricket match

It would get really frustrating during the cricket world cups!

 

6. If you wanted to listen to a song again you went back to the beginning of the CD track

No simple clicking on the screen with a mouse. You had to press a button repeatedly. And if there was no screen then you had to wait and listen to know which song you just skipped on.

 

7. Hand-held brick video games

Tetris was never this good.

 

8. 9999999999 games in 1

And we just played the usual 4-5 favorite games.

 

9. Catching Shaktimaan on Sundays without fail

And actually learning good morals from the show. They do not make Kid’s show like this anymore.

 

10. Paying Rs. 20 for an hour to access the internet

20 computers hooked on to a single dial-up modem!

 

11. Becoming an artist on MS Paint

Long before Photoshop was the norm.

 

12. Rasna and Goldspot over today’s colas any day!

90S-11

They were not over-fizzed either. Drinking them was fun!

 

13. CGI that actually looked real

Compare most of today’s movies and their CGI, it’s cringeworthy!

 

14. Just a tyre and a stick would be entertainment enough

It took real skill to keep it balanced and running.

 

15. He-Man, Duck Tales, Flash Gordon, and Dragon Ball Z

90S-17

It’s surprising how much Dragonball Z trivia Indians are familiar with.

 

16. Using Nero for burning CDs

90S-2

And re-writable CDs were cutting edge.

 

17. Cycles were way cooler than bikes

Image Source

And geared cycles were the hip thing!

Never forget them! They will make great bedtime stories for your children!
