Yes it’s making fun of the originals that get passed around by people on Facebook, who think saying “I drank from the garden hose” makes them some damned icon that we should all strive to emulate.
I’m a 90s kid but don’t use Facebook except as Craigslist for selling things.
“I drank from the garden hose” is a way to say you’re from the 90s? What?.. what other stupid things are they saying? Do people not do this now? And they didn’t in the 80s? Were the 90s peak lawn?
No it’s more just claiming superiority over current generations because their childhood was more ‘real’ or some shit. Same as people talking about how they played outside all day, how their parents beat the shit out of them when they were disrespectful, how they didn’t play video games, etc. These are usually followed with comments about how “the world has gone to shit” and “kids these days are so much worse.”

Which is why I love this post! Makes me want to play conkers and fight my teacher again.

Oh, that whole thing. Every generation has to put up with that. I don’t really want to be a cranky old man.
I drank from the garden hose in the 80s. Probably the 70s, too - I don’t remember.
