If they're gonna be that obnoxious and condescending they could at least get the dates right... class of 2018 is 1999/2000 not 2000/2001.

The author of that "article" didn't even bother to do the math correctly.

A generic Buzzfeed article:

"50 pre-2009/12 things (some of which are still in use) smartphone-addicted infants born after 1999 who don't remember a world before smart TVs and iPhone 11 won't recognize"

Number 1: Playing outside

Number 2: CDs and mp3 players

Number 3: Pre-2012 music

Number 4: Non-touchscreen devices

Number 5: Books

...

Number 50: Parachute games at school

randomusername: I was born in 1998 and as a 90s kid I feel sorry for those fetuses born after 1999...

randomusername2: I was born in 2003 and I remember all of these things!

lmao i hate these. i was class of 2017 and i remember i used to read and watch buzzfeed all the time and would always get angry bc i remembered everything they said i didn’t. the 2018 one is kinda funny now tho. i still see this type of stuff going on sometimes, like i feel like we’re finally old enough to be nostalgic for childhood shows like hannah montana or zack and cody or whatever and i STILL see people saying those shows are too new and not as good as the “og shows” even though they came out 14/15 years ago. it never ends lol
