i just threw up in my mouth a little

my birthday is december twenty-seventh, nineteen eighty-nine.
i am 20 years, 8 months, and 21 days old.
my parents barely missed the cut-off for being "baby-boomers",
and i barely sqeezed my existence into the '80s. 

i grew up in the '90s. i fully understand the implications of the words:

pokemon
grunge
the macarena
gigapets
push pops
ring pops
bowl cuts
beavis and butthead
ren and stimpey
walkman
old-school disney
overalls
chat rooms
powerpuff girls
"what would jesus do?" paraphernalia
"psych!"
polly pockets
"i've fallen and i can't get up!" commercials
topenga
the backstreet boys

i am part of this generation.
i am part of "today's young people".

HOWEVER-

i absofuckinglutely REFUSE to appreciate these lyrics:

she's nothin like a girl you've ever seen before

nothin you can compare to your neighborhood whore

i'm tryinna find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful

the way that booty movin' - i can't take no more

have to stop what i'm doin', so i can pull up her close

i'm tryinna find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful

damn girl

damn you's a sexy bitch, sexy bitch!

damn, you's a sexy bitch!
