Is learning HTML a waste of time?

I want to learn how to optimize my shopify website and start selling things, so I thought it'd be a great idea to learn HTML. I already know some basics because of stuff like myspace and blogs from back in the day but I want a better foundation.

Was talking to my cousin and he said that HTML is in the 90's, and learning Javascript would be better and not to waste my time. I'm just trying to make my website look cool. What's the best route to go? Thanks.

Your cousin has no idea what he's talking about. JavaScript dynamically ~~renders~~ generates HTML. You still need to know HTML in order to tell JavaScript how to mutate it. JavaScript does little to nothing if there's no HTML involved. Absolutely learn HTML first, before anything else.

FreeCodeCamp is a great resource.
