10 Stereotypical Comments that 90s Kids Hope Others Will stop Saying to Them

Last Updated on 2016-11-15 , 6:26 pm

Sometimes most 90s kids feel so wronged when we are immediately categorized as one of the very jialat strawberry generation.

As someone who is a 90s kid myself, I can relate to all these. So here is an article dedicated to the 90s kids who felt so wronged their entire life just because they are born in the 90s: the 10 stereotypical comments we 90 kids get rather frequently that are totally untrue to some of us.

“They blame everyone except themselves”
Not 100% of the 90s kids grew up in an overly pampered environment where we don’t know how to take responsibilities for our actions. You can’t link this negative trait to us 90s kids only. This is a trait that anyone can have. I’m pretty sure of this.

“They would gladly choose the easy way out of problems”
I can’t help but despise this line that comes out from others. Most of us were caned badly when we were young so we face ample consequences that we can’t avoid. Just because canes are not readily available nowadays doesn’t mean we don’t get caned.

“They are all so selfish”
Selfishness is part of human nature. It is in each and every one of us. The only thing is that a majority of the 90s kids portray this negative trait openly. But trust me, if we are a selfish generation, community service groups in school would have died a long time ago. There are a group of us who are just as giving, if not more, than the other generations.

“They have expectations that are just so illogical”
Again, not all of us are so buay pai seh to go into the HR manager’s office and demand for a raise or request for a long weekend of paid leave. Unless we are really badly treated in the office, then we will voice out. Otherwise, the reason “just because our friends have it” does not, and will not, apply to us.

“They don’t stand up for themselves”
Linked back to the previous point – we will stand up for ourselves when we are mistreated or misunderstood. Hence this post. And no, we will not get our parents to back us up. I’ve ever asked my parents if they ever find me drowning, will they save me? Their respond? “How old are you already still don’t know how to swim?” So no, not all of our parents have the luxury of time to be our 挡箭牌.

“They can’t identify between needs and wants”
This stereotype came about because of how many of us at a young age owns branded goods. Albeit some is a gift from their parents on their birthdays, but for the rest of us if we want it, we either, one, work part time and eat Maggie Mee for months and save up for it or two, just forget it. Because we know we need to save for a rainy day instead of spending every cent we have in our pocket on such redundant item.

“They argue about ‘rights’ and ‘fairness’ when everyone else has no such issue”
Again, this does not apply to all of us. We only argue about it when we are mistreated. And it’s not, and never, based on how our friends are treated. It’s based on how our other colleagues are treated.

“They expect the world to agree with them”
Not all of us expect the world to agree to us because we do not agree with the world all the time either. Just like how I am disagreeing to how all of us 90s kids are being judge before we even speak.

“They think the world owes them anything they want”
This is usually the case when the kids grow up with a maid. As the maid is an employee of their parents, they can’t say no to the kid if they want something right? But keep in mind not everyone of us grew up in such luxurious environment so not all of us grew up with that horrible mindset engraved into our brains.

“Their life is all about the Internet”
We have adults who play Pokemon GO nonstop even while crossing the road. So stop pointing fingers at us 90s kids only.

I can’t help but emphasize that not all of us are as airhead as the majority.Yes, you can dislike the majority but do not judge us before you get a chance to work with us. Though most behave this way, but not of us are like this. You are still able to find hardworking and humble 90s kids. Don’t be too quick to judge. Not all of us are that bad.
