Nothing drives me mad like those click-farming bullshit accounts you see on Twitter, Facebook, et al, where they'll post "Like if you grew up in the 90s!" and the house they're showing off looks like it was built to the specification of someone utterly paralytic with drink trying to describe the interior of Pee Wee's Playhouse. No, motherfucker, I lived in the 90s, which meant mostly that the paisley patterning on the carpet had worn pale in some spots, most of our Tupperware would find new life as extras in HBO's Chernobyl (2019), and our white computer was inexplicably that shade of grimy yellow you'd see on the back of a chainsmoking grandma's index finger. What the fuck glorious mall did you grow up in?
Phrases like "[insert decade]s kid," "grew up in the [decade]s," "remember the [decade]" all mean different things, not just literally but also to different people, and a lot of it boils down to what your formative years (in terms of personality) were. And while there's a developmental average for this, it's still going to be different for everyone and based on very individual experiences. Also nothing works on strict decades, there is always overlap and styles change gradually over time.
That said, all of the posts above are absolutely right (allowing for things like regionalism, culture, socioeconomic class, etc) and also, rage clickbait should be fired into the sun, and inaccurate rage clickbait should be fired twice.
