For me, there’s a lot as it’s hard to choose one that would make me travel back to the mid-late 2000s. I guess the time where there were no iPhones in sight like at all. Also the fact that hardly anyone was using the “web” on their phones since it was still severely underdeveloped.

I just want to take the opportunity to say that we almost have about 36,000 members on this subreddit and we have surpassed the 4 year anniversary for this subreddit as r/OlderGenZ was created on August 16, 2022. I also want to thank you guys for sticking with us throughout the years through the good, bad and perhaps the ugly.

I just want to make an announcement regarding the Generationology esque posts and even comments that have been showing up lately that has been spamming the sub and even in other subs as well. Another mod had made a post about it not too long ago about it. Also we’ve been getting complaints about it as well. Just a reminder, these posts are not allowed on this subreddit whatsoever as it breaks Rule #3.

Also another reminder, if you want to know what’s considered an Older Zer or even wanting to get a flair, please check out the FAQ in our wiki.

Give this a look also as someone made this.

The mods and I are using the 1997-2012 range once again to determine the Older Z range. The Older Z range consists of those who are within the first five-ish years of Z. So those that are considered the “Z” part of Zillennials (1997-1999) and Oldest of the non-cuspers (2000-2002). 2002 is considered to be both the end of Older Z and the start of Middle Z. If you were born in 2003 or 2004 or even perhaps 1996 and if you feel left out, there isn’t a rule saying that you don’t belong on this subreddit. If anything we welcome anyone who’s willing to post here as long as the post is relevant to the content in this subreddit or our group in general.

This has to be addressed again after multiple times especially with a rise in people using alt accounts to make false narratives or to put people down as that’s what has been happening within the last couple months as well. We felt it was time to make an announcement regarding that issue. We as mods don’t ask for much, but as long as you follow the rules, we can make this sub as fun as possible for all of us. There will be serious consequences for those who won’t take the rules seriously such as you receiving a temp ban or a permanent ban. So once again take the rules seriously.

For me it’s the use of a smartphone and social media, dont get me wrong, there’s some pros to it, but the problem is the excessive use of it and how it’s replaced how we interact with others.

Also using QR codes for everything.

I’d say definitely around 2004/2005 for me when I started to have crystal clear memories. So I would’ve been around 4-5 years old which seems to be the norm.

What about you guys?

The music here brings back memories. I know I should’ve been asleep when it came on but I had to sneak out of my room just to watch some Futurama and Family Guy and some of the anime too. This was when Aduit Swim was in its prime imo.
