On the internet, "90s kid" nostalgia is phasing out. Gen Z nostalgia for 2007-2012 has taken over.

Small price to pay for having lived the '80s and '90s firsthand.
My fashion senses are more late 2000s because that's when I started to dress myself, but I literally need clothing companies and the fashion world to bring back mid 90s sweaters in vogue. That shit looked mad comfy, and I love the look. And the baggy button down. Fuck it, just give me a 90s Friends Fashion catalogue and I'd buy all that shit. Especially the bowling shirts.
I'm pretty sure your nightmare has been a reality for some time.
Most older people talk about how kids todayhave it easier, but im convinced my childhood was way more rad than what these grew up with.
Sorry, we can not officially move on from 90's nostalgia until we get the Disney Gargoyles reboot... and then the second reboot with Greg Weisman that is actually good.
90s kids actually saw the birth of the internet and it was really an historic event. How it started to change culture, how emails were becoming the norm, etc. 90s was also the golden decade of gaming.
Jepp.
I noticed it first when the Minecraft Nostalgia kicked in everywhere. I really got surprised to see the love for it when it was so terribly hated before.
But the moment that "I'm getting old" feeling kicked in for real when I visited a early 2000's party last weekend. It was held at a location that usually does 70's, 80's and 90's stuff, so that was their first attempt at doing something for the 2000's kids.
That 90's nostalgia is definitely over.

How the quirky forums with politically incorrect jokes became recruiting grounds for literal nazis resulting in a rise of white supremacy terrorism.
I don't think we are there quite yet. Early and mid 00s are phasing in now. Stuff like Danny Phantom, Avatar, Drake & Josh, Grim Adventures, Kids Next Door, etc.
In fact Nickelodeon just recently rebranded NickSplat to NickRewind and expanded their focus to cover 00-08 now. I mean they started their nostalgia brand 8 years ago now in July 2011.

I don't think nostalgia for 2010+ is "really" a thing culturally yet. It probably seems like it online, because people of that age are much more vocal and visible in the public space than my generation (1990) was at their age (which would still be before social media, in relation to the date of birth).
People born between the mid 90s and early 2000s are probably going to be the main target audience for pop-cultural stuff for some time still.

Not to call r/gatekeeping or anything, but as soon as you're old enough to have a memory of something you can't have again, you are entitled to feel nostalgia.
Edit: Just backread and, whew, this thread is just a "muh gen better" circlejerk. Gonna hafta back out of this one.
I wonder if there's a specific age range most people get most nostalgic about, like from 7 to 14 or something like that?
How is Detective Pikachu 90's nostalgia? The game came out in 2018, and it isn't really anything to do with the original cartoons?
Early 00s got mostly skipped over because a lot of mass media sucked during that time. It wasn't until web 2.0 were things started to turn around because of the word of mouth effect made people more selective of films and movie they consumed.
Also San Andreas came out in 2004 but had a tons of ports and re-releases and insane legs in terms of sales. Tons of people picked up and played that game for years after it came out. It's really more mid-late 00s nostalgia far more than early 00s.
I did this with students in our course about history politics. Showed them some iconic moments of my country's and global history and it's super interesting to see the difference between memory and history. Me being born in the late 1980s had a totally different perception of 9/11 obviously. We were also talking a lot about childhood memories that then collectively form some of the identity that we end up calling generation #whateverletter.
It's good to see them get 'old' though! Finally it's not us anymore. Soon enough they'll be shaking their heads at kids, too :D

I was born in 1990, and my sister was born in 1995, but it feels like so much more the difference in technology and the world that the two of us grew up in is so different even though it's such a small age Gap
I actually don't find many young people are using bulletins boards and forums. I love them but I don't see many newcomers in our communities. Reddit is different but I feel everything takes place on social media rather than 'thematic' forums.
Does "ironic" really mean "sarcastic" in cases like this?
Anyone else just take comfort in the fact that we are really all the same? A zoomer coming home from school and playing BO2 while watching icarly is really no different from my coming home from school and playing sonic the hedgehod while watching ren and stimpy
90s nostalgia lost its spot when people started bringing the fucking Goofy Movie back. You can't recover from that.
