And have probably never seen the 90's Sabrina show. Too bad, because it's way better than this rubbish.
Agreed. Least it can cheer you up if your sick or need it, I'd imagine NuSabrina will just give you nightmares and not feel happy.

Hey hey hey, as someone who is part of the generation that is currently being trashed, I have to take offense to this. Not everyone of my generation likes rap (I hate it, and love oldies from the 80's and know plenty of young people who also hate rap). I have seen parts of the orignal Sabrina, and enjoyed them, and also really loved the cartoons when I was a kid. It is possible to love all of the different versions for different reasons, and liking the recent one does not mean you are a racist or homophobic. As for it being renewed, I'm not sure how I feel about that, it means they have more opportunities to mess up, but we'll see.

I'm sure there is something in it that can be appreciated. I mean a majority of us here are Charmed fans, and we still like it, even if we really hate parts.
It is nice when some younger people can appreciate stuff from older generations and I'm sure not everyone is like the and appreciates older stuff, I do from the 60s and 70s with cartoons and some shows. It is the trolls and annoying ones on Social Media that just annoy me to no end give a bad rap to some generations that are younger.
Just out of interest. Was curious and did some digging.
The Silent Generation: Born 1928-1945 (73-90 years old)
Baby Boomers: Born 1946-1966 (52-72 years old)
Generation X: Born 1967-1981 (37-51 years old)
Millennials: Born 1982-1997 (21-36 years old)
Generation Z: Born 1998-2013 (5-20 years old)
Generation Alpha: 2013-Present (0-5 and those who are (or will be) born until at least 2029)

All of those groups are represented here.

Sorry, I keep forgetting what generation group is which or when one period starts and ends. But yes, Gen Z would be anyone born after 9/11 correct? To me, Gen Z actually starts around 1995 or so. In my mind, the average Millennial spent at least part of their childhood in the 90s, is old enough to remember where they were when 9/11 happened, and graduated from high school no later than the Great Recession era. I can tell you just from my own experiences that early 90s babies and late 90s babies are entirely different groups despite having technically been born in the same decade. So many love that downbeat monotone rap. I still love my old school music from the 70s, 80s or 90s, where the lyrics had meaning and made you feel happy. Ugh, I know. It's sometimes depressing to look back on the TRL era of the late 90s and see that there was a period not too long ago when bright, candy-colored music ruled the roost. Sure, a lot of that stuff was cheesy as hell, but it was a time when pop music truly was pop music -- fun music with strong hooks that everybody was familiar with. Today's "mumble rap" isn't any of that. Hey hey hey, as someone who is part of the generation that is currently being trashed, I have to take offense to this. Not everyone of my generation likes rap (I hate it, and love oldies from the 80's and know plenty of young people who also hate rap). I have seen parts of the orignal Sabrina, and enjoyed them, and also really loved the cartoons when I was a kid. It is possible to love all of the different versions for different reasons, and liking the recent one does not mean you are a racist or homophobic. As for it being renewed, I'm not sure how I feel about that, it means they have more opportunities to mess up, but we'll see. Whoops, very sorry about that. If it makes you feel any better, my generation still gets a ton of shit, too. And, the Boomers hounded Generation X a lot back in the 90s. Older generations love to pick on younger ones, for better or worse.

I guess I'm showing my age here a lot of times. Of course, Jean and I are much older than most of the posters here.
I like that music too. Mind you, they weren't "oldies" when I first head them, they had just come out.
Hearing "Born In The USA" and "Material Girl" referred to as oldies makes me feel 100 years old!

I'm an 80's girl. Born in 1980 and so grew up on 80's pop culture though I love any forms of music opera not so much then.

I was in my teens in the early 80's. So the music from that era still holds a special meaning for me.

I'm just three years older than Katherine. So, I grew up also in the 1980ies but music is for me interesting in the 1980 and 1990ies. Yet I love more the older ones.

Of course, much of that time (the 1980's) you spent behind the Iron Curtain, Jana.
Still, it was nice that you got to listen to our music.

Yep, we had to catch up a lot after the wall came down. So, that's why my music taste switches.

Perfectly understandable. You then were able to listen to music that you couldn't before.

Interesting to see that I was born in the Generation X. Yet, I prefer definitely oldies and that's why I'm going to an Albert Hammond concert this year in Jena (October)! Yay!!

Yep, I guess I'm that generation too.
Jean and I were the only ones here alive when Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon.

I hadn't been born yet during the 80's and 90's. But I love the music from those decades.
