Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

You're a 90s baby. 90s kids are 40.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Can confirm. I was born in the early '80s. Am currently 39.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

Thanks for confirming how age works 👍

Also can confirm. Just turned 30, was born in 93 and don't remember all that much about the 90s. I remember a decent amount of the late 90s, but that's really part of the 2000s. The early 90s is a totally different thing, and it's the 90s people always describe. Late 90s and 2000s are the matrix vibe.

You understand this timeline really well for someone who didn't really experience the 90s.

It went from hair metal to grunge to pop punk and rap-metal across the decade.

The 90s ended in 2003-2005 change my mind.

Also here to confirm, I just turned 18 and I was born in 80 and I just graduated high school and my whole life is ahead of me and I'm looking forward to the future tech of the 2000s.

Wait, what fucking year is it?

Memories of poppin' pogs outta cereal boxes ain't enough?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

That's what I was gonna say, I'm a 90s kid and I'm 39.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was gonna say. Usually the era thing is about the persons high school years. so like 15 plus 30 I would say on average.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would think it was based on your years being a kid, not a teenager. I was born in 89, so when I think of being a kid most of that happened in the 90s although obviously it bled into the 00s too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I always think of teenager as the formative years that influence the adult. So when I hear such and such a time kid I think its refering to that time even though its sorta just past the kid years. I feel like when your a kid your just sorta a kid and not as plugged into whats going around timeline wise and then like preteen you are sorta getting an idea but mostly just imitating or hero worshiping. Teen seems like when really started deciding what they liked and did not like. so rebellion and obsessions and such. Granted people change a lot from that time to but to me it feels the most about when a time periods. I dunno. Lets say flavor really sets in.
