Do 90s babies really remember Y2K and 9/11?
Trauma, unlike wealth, actually does trickle down. So even though kids don't understsnd where it's coming from, major traumatic events will affect them second-hand.
This. I don't remember 9/11 for what it is, but I remember being antagonized as a child for being in the country while not being a white person.
I was Born '83 and remember chernobyl. Not that i would have known anything about it. But my parents ran out, hauled me inside and said no more playing outside. In retrospective that was quite disturbing it seems.
I remember them, but I was born early 1990, so I'm one of the early 90's babies.
