What do Kids ask for these days?

Nixon · 12-13-2021, 02:27 AM

a question one must wonder in a digital age. What is on a kid's list in 2021? In this thread the members of Generation Z on 3dmm.com shall share items they have asked Santa for this christmas.

I don't know what I'd want for xmas

Off the top of my head? Probably Madvillainy, MM..FOOD or The Low End Theory on vinyl

real Gs collect hip-hop TAPES, the format of the time!

Plopilpy · 12-13-2021, 02:56 AM

The first two albums are sold out on tape and an original 90s tape would probably cost twice as much

Also my tape deck PLUS my walkman are both slowly dying from belt failure, I've got no solid way to listen to tapes

Oh tropeau bleu is good. Cortex makes good music, even their 2006 album is good.

My parents have a vinyl collection and it’d be cool to have a few of my own.

PizzaLuigi · 12-13-2021, 06:56 PM

Vinyl always comes back

PizzaLuigi · 12-13-2021, 10:34 PM

This isn’t something sophisticated a lot of people use vinyl

Oddly enough, kids still play with traditional toys. My girlfriend's nephew is turning 5 and he has no electronic bullshit. He just got a big Hot Wheels parking garage thing. I was at Target last night and saw way more kids - little kids and young teens - looking at Lego, Nerf guns, and physical toys than in the electronic section, which is encouraging because the stereotype is that they're all a bunch of tech addicted Ritalin babies.

yeah, also interesting is that yougner kids seem to love retro games. I used to hang out with my buddy and his little kids before they moved away, and I would bring over my SNES for the kids to play while the men sat around and drank beer. The kids were insanely stoked about the SNES, way moreso than Xbox or Wii or anything. They loved the old school mario games and shit. I think SNES just holds up really well in general as a console. It's not as primitive as the NES but it doesn't have garbage early 3d piss-ugly graphics like the N64. The games have a timeless, painterly quality to them.

Agreed. SNES is the high water mark for that era. The games still look good all these years later and have a lot of replay value. Kids now are lucky with retro gaming because most of the antiquated consoles are great. When I was much younger, I didn't have the same experience. I pulled my brother's Atari out after he stopped using it and immediately thought it sucked. And that was like 30 years ago when there weren't many video game options.

There are some people who are young as 6 years old that have an iPhone 13 and airpods.

True. Last week, my brother and I went to Walmart and looked at legos and hotwheels.

I want Santa to give me toys for a 13 year old. Not electronics but traditional toys. I am hoping to get legos and RC monster truck.
