Dear 90s kids, blame yourselves for the remakes.


You 90s kids were the first people to hold onto your childhood way longer than normal. You facebook people from high school and college you have no business being in contact with at your age. 90s kids were the ones who ushered in an era of the "adult" video "gamer". Thanks to easy access music and tv, you guys are still watching television shows and listening to music that you've got no business listening to. I can't tell you the number of time I've talked to women in my gym in their 30s who tell me they only listen to trap music when they workout.

If you guys want to keep your childhood alive or just never want to grow up, then fine. but don't blame the studios for remaking movies when you 90s kids are running up the hit counts on your long-over-due-to-be-forgotten-for-good 90s tv shows, music, and movies.

having said that, who wouldn't be psyched for a remake of kung fu the legend continues? if there's one thing that needs rebooting, it's the kung fu genre.

"You facebook people from high school and college you have no business being in contact with at your age."

My mother Facebooks people from college and High School all the time. And she's in her fifties. So what? What exactly is wrong with wanting to be re-acquainted with old friends? If it's not their bussines, whose is it exactly?

'90s kids were the ones who ushered in an era of the "adult" video "gamer".'

Video games are just a medium like books, movies, television etc and a common pass time shared by people of all ages. Lawyers, doctors, butchers all over 35 play them. That's not a millenial invention, that's just how things are. It makes about as much sense as saying baby boomers invented the "adult film watcher," which is to say, literally none.

"you guys are still watching television shows and listening to music that you've got no business listening to."

Again with 'business.' Is it up to you what a person watches and listens to? Nah, I'm pretty damn sure it's their business and theirs alone.

"If you guys want to keep your childhood alive or just never want to grow up, then fine."

What a strange poisoning the well fallacy. Every generation has people who watch older shows from their younger days. My parents generation still watches All in the Family, I Love Lucy, Rockford Files etc. They listen to the Beegies. You seem to want to make this strange leap between craving nostalgia and suffering from arrested development, and it doesn't work under any semblence of scrutiny.

"but don't blame the studios for remaking movies when you 90s kids are running up the hit counts on your long-over-due-to-be-forgotten-for-good 90s tv shows, music, and movies."

You ever heard of that thing where something stays popular for many years? Called becoming a classic, happens all the time. And no, I will blame the studios cause they're the ones shilling out these soulles remakes that constantly miss the point.

I watched Kung Fu the legend continues sometimes and I say no thanks to a movie. What the hell for? Lol at the OP trying to tell other people what to do. Obviously you have something against 90s era and it's nobodies problem but yours.

I'm still waiting for Kung Pow 2.

Love that movie!

There's nothing wrong with 30ish women who think they're still 16 years old. Imagine how much fun they'll be in their 50s.

By 2020, the 60s will be the new 30s!

Adult gamers associated with 90s kids? Home video games became popular in the 80s and the arcade back in the 70s so adult gamers should've been kids growing up in the 70s and 80s.
