The one person was born in 2000 and the other person complains about how young they are. It turns out that the complainer was born in 1999, and therefore is only a year older. Thus making the complaint a bit silly.

I like to think he was born on 12/31/99 to make it extra ridiculous.

As that aging adult who was born on 12/29/99, it is extra ridiculous because 90s kids laugh at you and 00s kids think you're already a corpse.

We grant you a seat on the council but do not grant you the title of 90's kid.

ngl, now i feel a little silly for not having gotten it.

Its okay. Only 80s kids can appreciate the joke.

I thought the joke was they were both both before the start of the new millennium. Awful lot of people started counting with 0 instead of 1 in 2000.
