1920s shitposting

Shoutout to all the 1997-2001 kids who are somehow hybrids of millennials and gen z. We are the Ultimate Generation of 90’s nostalgia and new age internet depression.

This is actually super interesting, because I feel like this group witnessed the massive technological change in both our schools and our society. I’m a senior in high school this year, and my school relies heavily on chromebooks - almost everything we do is online. However, I still remember the days when we had a chunky projector on wheels in the room with clear plastic slides that you had to write on in dry erase pen. I still remember when teachers relied almost entirely on chalkboards, and I remember whenever we watched a movie, the teacher would have to roll in this giant old T.V. with a VCR player. Only recently, my school replaced the crusty old textbooks with online ones. Us 1997-2001 are the only age group that truly witnessed that shift. School isn’t the only place where society has changed - when I was a child, we had a house phone. We got rid of the house phone in when I was in grade, so I got a little slide cell phone. In 9th grde, I got an iPhone, and now I can barely imagine life without it. It’s just interesting, because we really LIVED that shift growing up - it’s what defined our childhood. It’s like we have knowledge of the school system from two different eras.

Why Winona Ryder Doesn’t Regret Opening Up About Depression

Twenty years ago, mental health was a taboo topic. After all, opening up about mental illness is difficult enough for anyone, let alone an A-list actress launching a Hollywood career. Today, Ryder says she’s glad that she was so up front about depression and anxiety.
