As a generation Y infant who grew up to (relatively) decent children’s programming but also witnessed the rise (again) of the Disney Pop tartlet, who’d have thought that there would come a day when we ourselves are getting older?
So while Gen X still think that they realise the age is upon them via their face having more crow’s feet than a crow, and using the phrase “back in my day” for gen Y it isn’t so simple, well at least not in text lingo anymore.
For the child of Generation Y, you realise you’re getting old when;
- Those Disney stars you grew up with start landing in Jail and smoking pot
- The disintegration of Disney films, nothing, not one movie will compare to the Lion King. Period.
- You’re complaining about girls wearing tights as leggings
- You don’t understand Bieber fever
- Remember the painful process of MySpace fading away into obscurity
- You see kids around the 6-8 year old mark with an iPod Touch... and a phone, at that age all you had was Pokémon toy or Nintendo if you were lucky
- You can recite all the lyrics to “who let the dogs out”
- You thought Aqua’s “I’m a barbie girl” was really an innocent song. Yeah. Right.
- Instead of playing Halo of Call of Duty (COD) you played Zelda
- McDonalds use to sell decent toys in the Happy Meals and;
- John “Baby” Burgess had a show called “Burgo’s catchphrase” (or is that just me?)
There are plenty more of things that highlight that it is not just our parents who get older, but us as well, so I wonder, where do we line up to lie about our age?
