Yes, I know these videos are meant to get people mad and think '97 and '98 are somehow vastly different birth years (even though they're not).

Personally I'm getting sick of these, "kids react/teens react/elders react" videos. They're unfunny and uncreative.

When kids of today see Ben Affleck they think... Batman!? HAHAHA!

The kids in this video freak me out. I dunno why but there is something off about them as if they've never stepped outside their whole lives.

It was funny at first, especially with Kids React for starting in 2010 and Teen React in 2012, however most of the new episodes now are pretty boring though and the reactions don't seem as funny...

Now you have Buzzfeed trying to ride of the Finebros success with their incredibly lame react videos like this one  8-P

Something about this video seemed staged to me, like when one of those kids used the word, "turnt" to describe one of the videos. It's like the producers told them, "Don't forget to use contemporary slang in your commentaries!"  ::)

I wouldn't be surprised if they were staged. I saw the one where they reacted to flip phones and apparently these guys had never seen or used flip phones before (keep in mind that these guys were my age, so thats almost impossible)

You mean "turnt up"?

I hear a lot of teens and young adults use that slogan sometimes at least here in Atlanta. It depends on the type of culture you follow though.

Apparently that phrase is 10 years old according to Urban Dictonary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Turnt&defid=1395334

Yeah, I've been aware of that phrase since the beginning of middle school for me. It seems like it started being used more often in songs as time went on, and of course it was used frequently by my friends and acquaintances as well. I've heard the word "turnt up" in a lot of hip-hop songs throughout the years. Especially "All The Way Turnt Up" by Roscoe Dash ft Soulja Boy (2010), the most common one I remember which got big around my 8th grade year.

This is news to me! I always thought it was something that originated in 2011!

I remember how that song suddenly got big by the start of 2010 when I was still in 8th grade, and since then words like "turnt up" and "swag" started being used more by people. I live in Georgia. Roscoe Dash is from my home state born in Atlanta, and he actually visited my high school back in Spring 2011 (2nd semester of my freshman year) and announced himself on the intercom, and everybody in the classrooms were screaming going nuts including everybody else in the hallways rushing to the front office. But the teachers were trying to get after everybody. It was hilarious!

Wow, that is pretty crazy! Must of been weird seeing a big rapper coming into your school!

Oh, so they were in their late teens, I thought they were the usual 14-17 age.

I think I would probably find this quite annoying. It is getting ridiculous with the recentness of so much of this stuff. I would understand if they were reacting to stuff from at least 20 years ago, but the 00s is only 10 years ago, so much of the 00s stuff is still around these days.

I love the react videos.
I'm not a fan of elders react tho because they are all stogey old farts who hate everything. 

However...the funniest thing I saw was the elders react to GTA (the promo for
It) followed about q year later with elders playing it. Watching the elders play it was highly amusing.

I saw the 90s react clips but I haven't seen the 00s one yet.

I never took the Teens React series seriously. I usually YouTube search Super Smash Bros. 64 and a Teens React is always there.

All the stupidness is staged, btw. Actually, I kind of liked the reactions to the 00s phones, they weren't as staged and dumb as I expected, the teens seemed quite familiar with them compared to the older phones. I also liked how one of them mentioned that the Razor started the selfie craze.

I always thought they appeared staged as well. Either that or these teens were the most sheltered kids ever. I mean, how is it possible that somebody born in 1997 could've never seen a flip-phone, or watched a J-Lo music video? Were they not allowed out the house until they were twelve?

How do you feel about this?

The one thing that really annoys me about these videos, is that they are very stereotypical. The teens in this video are around my age (born in 1998 and 1999), but they are acting as though they didn't experience/live through the 2000s. The teen who said that "The 2000's definitely started people not being humble and the pretty interesting outfits" particularly annoys me. For crying out loud, you were 1-10 years old during the 2000s. You experienced the majority of your childhood in the decade. I would expect someone born in the Mid/Late 2000s to make a comment like that, not someone who was born in the Late 90s.

Maybe they never paid attention to the mainstream culture during the 2000s. Although, I would just laugh at them for not knowing any bands that isn't from Kidz Bop in their childhood.

Definitely annoyingly staged, Late-90s babies who act like freaking flip phones were some sort of obscure vintage stuff from the 50s? Gtfo

WTF lol I feel you, I clearly remember when the flip (cell) phone was like the next big thing. Flip phones were in its prime during my late elementary and early middle school years. Flip phones are also known as the "clamshell" design, which according to Wikipedia was the most popular design of phone as of early 2009 in the U.S.

I mean yeah there were still even around in the early 2010s and slowly died off. There are still sold nowadays as low-priced phones, but they're definitely not successful anymore. Now that we're in the "Post-flip phones" era, it makes infinitely more sense to do a Kids React then a freaking teen/adult react in 2015.

Uh, flip phones aren't really old enough for teens to not know how to use them. It would be equivalent to today's kids pretending to not know how to use an iPhone a few years from now.

2025 - Buzzfeed new video: Teens Use iPhones For The First Time
2005 born
"What is this? I've never saw one before"

I had a flip phone until 2015, but especially now, we're at the point where to today's teens, the 2000s (except for perhaps the electropop at the very end of the decade) is old school. I would of have funny reactions as a teen myself in 1998 coming across '80s music videos, even though I could remember the transition to the '90s as a little kid and the fact was that '80s videos continued to be played periodically on MTV and especially VH1 through the '90s. Many videos (especially pre-2005) weren't in HD, and even the later decade videos are a step down from the SUHD 4K video of the present. It's typical adolescence of poking fun at the previous generation and praising a new one. The 2000s were half teen and half 20-something for me, so it's just the inevitable passing of the torch. I prefer '80s and pre-1997 '90s since I won't get those "showing my age" jokes as badly for following music from my generations pop music target (late '90s-mid 2000s, which I honestly was never a big fan of during that timeframe).

Apparently that phrase is 10 years old according to Urban Dictonary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Turnt&defid=1395334

Trust me, the majority of the "new" slang of the 2010s are actually old. And many of them were used very heavily in the gay community before becoming mainstream, "bop" "throwin' shade" "thot" "yaaaas." People don't even know, it is very weird to me.

Can't wait tbh.

It is for sure believable teens today have never used a flip phone. If one was born in 2001, and they didn't get a cellphone until they were 10, their first phone would not be a flip phone as those were long gone by 2011.

It's not staged but I remember being annoyed and shocked when I watched that video. A lot of them seem like they were sheltered kids.

Most of those teens were born 1996-2000, so it's almost impossible that they don't know what flip phones were. It's not like they are from North Korea, they are from Southern California (Los Angeles County).

Heck, even if they were born in 2001, they should still know what flip phones are. Flip phones were popular from 2003-2009/2010. A 2001 was 2-9 during that span and can definitely remember flip phones.

What makes you think it's not staged? Or do you know it's not staged? I personally think it is. Like you said, they should know what a flip phone is. They were acting ridiculous.

Very true, and to add insult to injury there were some '95 borns in the video (not even teens even by the time the video was uploaded). So they were in middle school by the time flip phones were huge, and having a cellphone was the norm back then too. Maybe they didn't have one themselves, but some of their friends or classmates must definitely have. It's staged, I tell you guys.

The teen aren't actors. LOL, not everything is a conspiracy. You can also check most of their social media accounts...like I said, they were most likely just sheltered (or they have a poor memory).

It's not staged, the Fine Bros don't stage their reaction videos. The teens were either sheltered or have poor memories (which I think is very likely because in other videos they are very forgetful of popular songs from the '00s).

Well do you think they picked teens with a poor memory on purpose then?  Lol

It's exceptionally poor memory at that. That's like me not remembering Windows XP or something.

Unintentionally they did. It's an application process and only certain teens (also, adults and elders) get selected.

One teen (his name is Alberto) in a different video said that he didn't care about music before 2010...so yeah, lol ;D.

To be fair I don't remember a lot of the popular music from the 2000s either. My brother would turn the radio on, but I didn't care about what I was listening to for the most part. It's different from not remembering flip phones though, that's something everyone was exposed to. Like Dundee said a few posts up, it's like a 2005 born not remembering the iPhone ;D

That's not poor memory then, it would be complete amnesia and forgetting most of their lives (even their teenage years). The "sheltered" explication is just way too far-fetched, what about the parents, or tv commercials, or the internet? Unless they are amish, nothing to me seems plausible.

Also, this isn't Fine Bros but Buzzfeed, did they use the same cast of teenagers?

Okay, I just watched the video and it wasn't that bad.

The first phone from 1996 I can totally understand them not seeing before. My dad had a phone like that, he bought it in 1999 I believe. The screen was just a monochrome LCD display that would only show the numbers, and it had a long retractable antenna haha. I think he kept it until 2001, so I can totally believe people born after me not remembering phones like that.

Most seemed familiar with the 2002 Samsung, except the younger ones. Everyone seemed familiar with the 2004 Razr. Not everyone seemed familiar with the 2007 Sidekick, but that's normal because most did not have one of those, just texting teens.
