Being born

Being born

Started my freshman year of high school

@@chayden153 ‘98 gang!

Me either! Love them!

I live for them honestly

NEVER!!!!

Right! I hope we get a 2000’s timeline🤞🏼

Same

dude, i do the same thing.🙂

Martha it will ALWAYS BE 10 years ago and we will ALWAYS revisit in our own dreams!

It sure feels like it. That happens to me too lol

That happens to me all the time. When I realize it was 30 years ago, I freak out a little bit for a moment.

We were born just too late for the original boom in technology but we're taught all about technology that became completely obsolete by the time we were entering the work force lol!

You're a Xennial or from the Oregon Trail generation. We grew up in what I consider the best time of human history.

As a young millennial who is currently 24, with 60, 70+boomer parents, a Gen X older sibling who passed along their handmedowns, not getting our first home computer till 2002, I had a bizarre experience of watching the world change from analog to digital.

I am just too young

I just say I'm a 90s kid, sayin' you're a millennial pretty much says you're just a smartphone addict and I wish smartphones didn't exist.

drugs man, what a thing

I agree - Phil is sorely missed.

His last voice role was Jiji in Disney's English dub of Kiki's Delivery Service.

Yes he was a awesome talent.

You might remember him from being one of the funniest actors ever.

I’ll be lighting up here soon with you ✌️

I was 15/16 do I miss the 90s great music, and we weren't offended we were offensive. I didn't care what I had to do eat Ramen forever I was gonna live on my own.

Lol ummm things haven’t changed, you can still do all that

@@williamphillips2671 lol ummm who says that I don't

@@Kat-tr2ig obviously they don't get it

I was... 6 years old in 98

I always wonder why some people called the 00s the naughties

@@thenewjord50 tbh, it's just how I've heard it said a lot

Ehhhh okay?.

@@thenewjord50the British way

That was a great year.

I was 18. It was a good time to be young.

@@RoseRose-hp4rq same for me. 1980 baby.

Damn, I just saw that (after reading your post). Rest in Peace Markie Post.

The second "Night Court" actor to pass this year.

It was a huge shock through the entertainment industry and to fans bc Hartman was a quiet introverted Everyman who didn’t live the type of life that would land someone on a ‘most shocking moments’ list…he was the last person anyone expected to be targeted for a violent crime

Nice. A day to remember. SPR was my preferred movie for many years of my teen years. Watched it too many times to count.

I was also in college in 1998. I saw SPR in the theater also very powerful film!

this comment is so pure! love it

You missed a great era, it was awesome 😎

it was such a great time to be a teenager. I'm sure it was good being younger too, but I can remember a time being a young adult when politics weren't the indication of what kind of American you were and everyone got along a lot better.

@@malloy5641 So true. I think 9/11 is what caused so much polarization. We’ll get back to what we were but it will take time.

That's because you were 8/9.

Yea. I know if I were 8/9 again right now I'd say the same thing about this year.

I was 12 in 97 and I felt the same way about the 97 episode, yet almost all of 1998's events remain in my general consciousness. The break from childhood to adolescence is abrupt AF.

It was even more comical to have a smoking section on planes

It's when they decided that they could take any God given right from the people. We caved and can see how that turned out in hindsight.

@@MrOuttheir forced sterilisation of certain segments of the population would increase our overall health. I guess you'd be in support of that too?

@@mk-lr8ok that’s what people don’t understand or don’t want to understand. It’s when the public bent over for blanket smoking bans that they got the green light to do almost every other nanny state ban since. “I don’t smoke so it doesn’t affect me” until they decide to do something that does affect you.

@@dougrogan379 Checkmate!

Exactly 💯 ruined it💰

Exactly 💯 ruined it💰

Weren't things so much different back then? I graduate high school that year too.

@@rejecteddriftwood314 Isn't it interesting how many things that we liked are still popular today? Michael Jordan is still well known and people still talk about Seinfeld. Google was founded that year too.

It wasn’t but so long ago. Live moves quickly!

I loved her in Night Court in the 80s. That cast was epic.

Same 😞she was one of my first crushes ❤️

Yeah, that was solely due to Harvey Weinstein. Look it up.

Gwyneth screwed Harvey for that Oscar. Brad broke up with her and threatened Harvey. It’s why Brad never won an Oscar til Harvey went to prison.

At the end, previewing for the 1999 episode the narration alludes to The Matrix, and shows a tiny clip from Fight Club. Both were released in 1999, as were The Green Mile and The Sixth Sense. American Beauty won the top categories (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay and Best Photography) in 2000, the year in all these films were eligible for nomination. The Matrix was only nominated for technical awards (Best Film Editing, Best Sound, Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Visual Effects), though it won them and Fight Club was only nominated for sound effects editing, losing out to The Matrix. American Beauty was placed on lists of worst Best Picture winners long before Kevin Spacey's comeuppance happened. All of those other films with the possible exception of The Sixth Sense were either more consequential, better , or both than American Beauty

its always fun to look back at nominees and see how many became classics while the winners languished in obscurity. Also the year harvey weinstein nailed the 'cash for oscar' game

@@FionaOfMountLawley Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

That game is STILL one of my all time favorites! Those were good days.

I turned 10 that year. I feel old.

@@humansvd3269 - I turned 18. Wouldn't change it for the world.

We were all like that at some point. Then we grow up and things make sense (well at least some... kinda). At age 15, I didn't know what a republican or democrat was, and just wanted to do my usual teen stuff. Then I grew up, could vote, realized the difference, and that's when I became a democrat. All those times the things that adults have taught you seemed to clash, it's because of politics.

Then you joined a German party🤔

@@ShubhamMishrabro I knew someone would make this comment 😂

That is the year I graduated high school.

@@btetschner mine too!

Well that big art factory just opened up down the street so maybe you can still pursue your dreams

I remember my school banned Pokemon cards because kids were fighting if they lost & the really bad kids were straight up beating people up and taking their cards.

Now, I'm 32yrs old and STILL proudly playing Pokemon!

Off the top apron with full impact

@@WorldWithOEnd OOOOOOH YEEEEEEAH

Depends on where you lived. The show debuted in Japan during 1997.

Wasn't The Werewolf of Fever Swamp (from Goosebumps) shown as a prime time special? Not sure if that was 98, but I seem to recall it was shown later than episodes usually were. Are You Afraid of the Dark? was great too btw.

@@starmnsixty1209 yes the werewolf of fever of swamp is from goosebumps

Such a Dustin thing to say

Better than anything I got goin

if coach had only put you in, you guys would have won state, then you'd be in your mansion, chilling with models in the jacuzzi...

"I'll take it from here nurse" Stone Cold

Will somebody stop the damn match!?!

That 90's era of wrestling was gold, Jerry. Gold.

I still look fantastic.

I can relate. I turned 20 in 1998, was skinny and beautiful. Now I'm curvy and mildly attractive.

@@kevinnickel7529 haha love your confidence 😂

Well, thank you..how very nice of you.

@@carriefawcett9990On the Strength: I say that if you are 'curvy' then you are 'wildly 💖' not 'mildly ' attractive...straight up and for real 👏🥂👌

wow...I graduated that year. Cool to see different perspectives.

Same!!! July ‘98 ☺️

Same April 98

May ‘98!!!

@@ALLAMERICANGIRLSROCK I'm born in that same month

Finally someone mentioned it. The Monday Night Wars were hot at this time. I wish he at least mentioned Wrestlemania 14

@@karlitosway7474 agreed. Mike Tyson floored Shawn Michaels 😂

Gex for life baybee

graduated that year too...feel the same way when I watch these.

In 20 years we'll be saying the same about 2021.

Year I graduated high school too. It is strange thinking about that being the end of Seinfeld, I still quote the show every once in a while. George was so funny.

Exactly... It's crazy to think that 20 years ago is now the 2000s, and the 1980s were 40 years ago!

Wow, I didn’t know there was a world premiere toon-in pilot.

i feel this

I heard that was a great year for videogames.

@@btetschner It was a great year for pro-wrestling as well.

@@jp3813 I have heard a lot of people say that, but unfortunately I was not watching it at the time. There are some hardcore fans of that year for pro-wrestling.

@@btetschner It's referred to as the Attitude Era or Monday Night Wars. Featuring fierce competition between WWF/WWE and WCW, as well as the smaller promotion ECW. Notable for the rise of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson & Stone Cold Steve Austin. Even other sports legends such as Mike Tyson & Dennis Rodman got involved. You can look up plenty of videos about it.

@@jp3813 Those guys are legends. I am going to look that up. Thank you for the recommendation.

Yeah, 98 was one of those epic years where a huge number of groundbreaking games were released.

Ocarina of Time, Fallout 2, Resident Evil 2, Starcraft, Marvel vs Capcom, Street Fighter Alpha 3, etc...

I remember dial up. We had a cell phones so ppl could call

I saw it in a drive in theater, made that movie watchable.

That P Diddy song off the soundtrack was a banger too

@@rebeccagibbs4128 That was what I was thinking.

Easily the definitive “ahead of its time” console.

can somebody explain that system like the screen on the controller?

right? Was such a great system, too bad SEGA was in over their head. They still have people that make games for the Dreamcast...I have no idea how they play them though....

@@firstnameiii7270 it was called a VMU or virtual memory unit. If i remember correctly. It was basically your memory card for saves that had a lcd screen on it that you could play mini games on. It would plug into your controller.

Powerstone

I bought mine on 9/9/99 and it still works. I still have around 20 games for it. One of the best consoles ever made.

What is the price now in usa?

@@peteksalman 4.99

💚

That 5.75 is worth more than minimum wage now.

I received a promotion in '98 and went up to $11.30/hr plus commission. I remember thinking how I was raking it in!

Non Progredi Est Regredi Well, your $11.30/hr plus commission went a lot farther then than it would now. So, you probably were raking it in at the time.

@@lindseystein9676 Yeah, I was 25 at the time and it was decent money back then. I still have the IRA I set up that year and it's still earning me interest; I'm glad I didn't spend that money!

And it stayed at $5.75 for a loooong time, cause I got my first job in 2004 and that’s how much I got paid

Oh I definitely remember the beeper.. I had the one you're talking about and sending/receiving numerical codes that either looked like words or the letters that corrosponded to the numbers on the telephone layout... What fun

They forgot the headline of Mike Tyson pushing Stone Cold Steve Austin. lol

@@jp3813 Oh man!!! '98 was balls deep into the Attitude Era!!!

I was also in grade 8, no one I knew had a pager or phone.
