    it’s a joke about engagement bait. You post something like “the TMNT liked pizza! Only 90s kids remember!” and anyone born between 1971-89 and after 2000 replies saying “I knew this too!”. Viral post, algorithm, etc

      Um, I hate to break it to you, but people born in the latter half of the 80s are 90s kids.

      Born in '87 but please don’t call me an 80s kid. I have zero memory of that decade; can’t relate to it at all. Most of my core memories come from being a kid in the 90s (and a little bit of the 2000s). I’m a 90s kid through and through.

      Edit: Ah shit, god dammit. Immediately after typing all of this out, I now see what you did there, you clever bastard. I took the bait.
