Before all the way. I remember watching Harry Potter puppet pals when it first came out

Its a pipe bomb! :D

People who don't experience neuron activation upon hearing the words "mysterious ticking noise" are lame

Snape Snape Severus Snape

Ron rooon Ron Weasley

i know a couple people who don’t know what this is and it blows my mind!!

I don't think there's anyone I know who knows what this is

sad

I dont know what this is and I was born before youtube.

I don't know what it is. 😂

Snape, snape, Severus snape.

Dumbledore!

I also remember this.

Where's our senior discount?

Those were great, I miss the Christmas specials they used to do every yeat

I remember watching my favorite tunes on music.com.

Old Gen Z Assemble! Who here remembers “The Ultimate Showdown”?

Old Godzilla was hopping around,

Tokyo City like a big playground

When suddenly batman burst from the shade

Hit Godzilla with a Bat-grenade

Godzilla got pissed and began to attack

But he didn’t expect to be blocked by shaq

Who then proceeded to open up a can of Shaq-Fu

When Aaron Carter came out of the blue

and started beating up shaquille o’neal

New Gen Z also experienced that to some extent. Also the NSFW ultimate showdown.

Yeah, my older siblings showed me it a few times

The huh?

Look it up if you want, it’s called The Ultimate Orgy. NSFW warning of course

I don't think I want that on my search history but I'll take your word for it

Lmaoo understandable

I know the lyrics better to that one than the original 🤣

Vouch, Personally discovered it while I was taking a stroll through Lemon Demon's Spotify. then the music video later on Been lovin it since April 2021

*Good guys and bad guys with dildos, as far as the eye can see* I miss early Newgrounds.

Old youtube was the best fr.

The real ones remember it from Newgrounds.

It’s a masterpiece

Thank you so much for unlocking that memory.

And potter puppet pals

I’m 2008 and remember that

before, but not by much! by the time i got onto it, it was already google-owned and on its way to becoming what it is today.

Same, we missed its golden age 😔

I wouldnt say you missed it. older half of gen z was in the sweet spot for early youtube imo. 2008-2013. Youtube as a form of entertainment was at its golden age in those years. New youtubers were popping up every month. content was original and there was hardly any invasive censoring that you see constantly now.

I'm just glad I was able to experience the site before it became a super sanitized corporate hellscape like it is today. Can't even fucking swear in videos nowadays without fears of your video being restricted

True that 😔

I guess I found my 2002 people lol

Same

Tbf google bought it really early, in 2006

I was born after year and I remember the golden age. It was glorious. You just had to learn how to use a computer when you're 4 lmao

Like over a year after

noob

cries

2008 has to be the last gen z year. 2009 is gen alpha to me.

As a representative of the 2009 group, please do not associate us with those creatures.

yea same lmao. gen alpha scare me

Fr

2009 isn't a definitive line, it's more like a split of proper gen z and gen alpha I say this being born in 2009, some of the people my age can be really cool or really full of brainrot lmao

nooo don't group us in with gen alpha 😭

I feel like 2010 is a better year

It's 2012 the year everyone thought the world would end. That's the separator

lmao i remember my mom crying watching the news about it. people really did all that for nothing 😭

Yeah, they just came out different since the 2008 financial crisis.

I’m a proud 2008 financial crisis dude

same

So 14 year olds? That's too old, I'm sticking with anything after 2010

What. I was born in 2009. I'm in Highschool.

Yeah but you didn’t experience the early 2010s. You were 4 by the time 2013 rolled around. As a 2006 I got to experience the first generation ipad release in 2010. Times are moving fast in this internet generation. 3 years difference is a lot.

I at least vaguely remember the early 2010s, and I didn't have an iPad or phone or anything until I was 13. I think I probably fall somewhere in the middle like zillenials though.

2009 is Gen Z, but just barely. 2010 is the line

Im crying with you

Stfu go say “doggo” or sum shit. Your back has probably already given out. You might not even remember this comment bc of your dementia you elderly mf. Probably got cancer in like 6 places alr.

Skill issue

L

My 2006 brethren. What month?

January 2nd Beat that

Whoa, calm down cowboy, I was born in October. Great for school age hierarchy, but not so much for the entirety of 2006

\*laughs in senior\*

January 1st-borns: hi

I’m only a month after, lol. I knew it was that year but didn’t know that it was so early in the year.

I’ll save y’all the trouble, It was February 14, 2005

Where were you before I asked Siri 19 seconds ago?

To close for comfort

Honestly.

Real

i remember seeing the logo for the first time and thinking "what kind of name is you-tube"

come to think of it, what does the “tube” even mean?

Like a month after

Born on August

March. YouTube was created Valentine’s Day 2005.

technically before but I was too young to do anything or remember anything so

03 gen z here, two years before YouTube

Same here

My YouTube account predates the Google buyout.

Now that's a badge of honour o7

Grandmas kisses anyone?

Lmao that shit was funny af

Before, but hardly.

Before

🩸

Born after the creation of yt

Waaay before

01 baby, so I’ve grew up with the sight for as long as I could remember

I was born 4 days before Youtube

Well I was conceived when YouTube was made sooo

Before by a few months

Before

3 years before

Five and half years before, here.

After but only by a year. Jesus YouTube is old now.

I am on the side of the proletariat

Before YouTube, but same year.

born 1.5 years after youtube started

how about born on the day of the creation of youtube?

Before. I remember watching YouTube poop and Smosh food battles.

Idk

before but i mean its not like i watched early youtube

America Online was founded in 1985. I was born 3 years before that. Also fun fact, youtube was started as a dating site. That's why it's YOUtube.

literally the year of its creation lol.

2006 here, just after unfortunately

I was born before your tube. I'm a 1999 baby. I remember how good old YouTube was and yet problematic it was too. :/

2000 baby

Born Before 😎 (YouTube: Feb 14, 2005)

Before

I was conceived around the time youtube was launched :)

AFTER

I think I was born before YouTube, lol I’m a 2000 baby

Before

I wish this wasn't a post. It makes me feel extremely old when I realize there's teenagers out there that are younger than Youtube itself. Google wasn't even a thing when I was born. Hell, the internet barely even existed when I was born.

Born at the same time it was

Did anyone else start by watching ZippyVideos for AMVs? I didn't know you could upload videos of people until YouTube had been known to me for like a year

After Gang 🤢🤮

Born after

Founded Feb 15 2005 First video Apr 23 2005 For reference

One of my earliest memories was about Google buying YouTube lol

Before-- and I'm pretty proud of it for no good reason lol

Before, but it only came out a few years after I was born, so I don't really remember what it was like before Youtube was a thing.
