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.
โThey blame everyone except themselvesโ
Not 100% of the 90s kids grew up in an overly pampered environment where we donโt know how to take responsibilities for our actions. You canโt link this negative trait to us 90s kids only. This is a trait that anyone can have. Iโm pretty sure of this.
โThey would gladly choose the easy way out of problemsโ
I canโt 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 canโt avoid. Just because canes are not readily available nowadays doesnโt mean we donโt get caned.
โThey are all so selfishโ
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.
โThey have expectations that are just so illogicalโ
Again, not all of us are so buay pai seh to go into the HR managerโs 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 โjust because our friends have itโ does not, and will not, apply to us.
โThey donโt stand up for themselvesโ
Linked back to the previous point โ 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. Iโve ever asked my parents if they ever find me drowning, will they save me? Their respond? โHow old are you already still donโt know how to swim?โ So no, not all of our parents have the luxury of time to be our ๆก็ฎญ็.
โThey canโt identify between needs and wantsโ
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.
โThey argue about โrightsโ and โfairnessโ when everyone else has no such issueโ
Again, this does not apply to all of us. We only argue about it when we are mistreated. And itโs not, and never, based on how our friends are treated. Itโs based on how our other colleagues are treated.
โThey expect the world to agree with themโ
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.
โThey think the world owes them anything they wantโ
This is usually the case when the kids grow up with a maid. As the maid is an employee of their parents, they canโt 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.
โTheir life is all about the Internetโ
We have adults who play Pokemon GO nonstop even while crossing the road. So stop pointing fingers at us 90s kids only.
I canโt 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. Donโt be too quick to judge. Not all of us are that bad.
