Are you a 90s kid?

Post Reply New Topic

How would a 1986 born be anything but a 90s kid? I mean chances are high you remember nothing before 1990. Culturally I'd say the very early 90s sort of count as the 80s though. Eras don't always align exactly with the calendar. I mean what's more typically sixties, 1961 or 1971?

I was born in 1983 so I'm definitely a 90's kid. I didn't miss out on much of the music in the 90's. I was a teeny-bopper from about 1994 to 1999. 1999 was when I started getting into more alternative music. I remember when game consoles were 8 bit (Master System), then they were 16 bit (Megadrive/Genesis), then they had a 32 bit console extension on the Sega Megadrive (the 32X), and then the Saturn and N64 came out. I remember playing Sonic 1-3 and Sonic & Knuckles religiously. Whenever I see people playing rock paper scissors I think of Alex Kidd.

ETA; I've already posted in this thread

It's a mark of the cool cats.

The 90's were so cool it deserves a second post. If someone bumps the thread again in a month or two I'll post again!

Yes! Born in '87, and I do have some fond memories of the '90s

-I liked all the Nickelodeon shows that existed before SpongeBob.
-I also loved watching Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs.
-I collected TMNT action figures, and owned Polly Pocket toys when I was a girl.
-I thought MTV was best back in the '90s, and was a fan of Beavis and Butt-Head.
-I enjoyed playing the Sonic series on the Genesis. I also enjoyed Super Mario World and Pokemon.

I was born in 75 and I'd probably consider myself to be an 80s/90s kid.

yep a 90s kid

i miss

cat & dog
all that
and much more

"Get the satellite if you want to see me
Talking on the net I know the way you like it
Get your credit card cause I need more money
All I wanna get is you baby"

i remember shows like rugrats, doug, cat & dog, and stuff

but alas...

i was born in 1997...

(cries)

I bought a book about growing about growing up in the 90s. It's really nice to see some of the stuff I remember from childhood.

Some of the things I remember in particular :
-There is a children's show I STILL remember the phone number from. ( Any Norwegians will know what show I'm talking about. )
-Pokemon
-Playing Super Mario 64 without having a clue what to do as I didn't know English
-Playing MegaMan and never be able to complete a single stage
-Windows 95/98
-Nestle Disney Family chocolate[/url]
-Lego!

I was born in 1961.

I was born back in the horse-and-buggy days of 1974. I don't see what's so great about being a 90's kid other than the fact it would make you younger, although I wouldn't want to be a teenager in this day and age. But I was into some 90's kid stuff during my late teens and 20's, such as Disney movies like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin, Sega Genesis, Sony Playstation, Tamagotchi, Furby and most of all, Troll dolls! Of course they weren't "kid" stuff, they were MY stuff.

I was born in 1999. I'm not a 90s kid but rather a 2000s kid. I had a pretty good childhood. My childhood years were from 2002 to 2011 (I was 3 to 12 years old). Here are some things that I had growing up

- 3 gameboy colors with Pokemon games (red, yellow and gold versions)
- A Nintendo DSI (more Pokemon and Mario games)
- A Wii (super smash bros brawl, Mario kart, super Mario galaxy, ect...)
- A pink iPod shuffle
- silly bands
- TV shows I've watched and enjoyed (Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents, Arthur, Cyberchase, Curious George, Little Bill, Blue's Clues, Caillou, Pokemon, Ed Edd n Eddy, Chowder, Camp Lazlo, Rugrats, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Powerpuff Girls, Word Girl, Dragon Tales, Ben 10, Bakugan Battle Brawlers, etc....)
- Polly Pockets
-Barbies
-Bratz dolls
- Hannah Montana wig, shirt, and doll
-Yogos Bits candy
-Altoids Sours candy
-Trix cereal and yogurt
- Movies I've seen and enjoyed ( The Incredibles, Shrek the 3rd, Cinderella, Pokemon the First Movie, The Little Mermaid, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Monsters Inc, Toy Story 1 & 2 & 3, Rio, Up, Kung Fu Panda, Bee Movie, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Hotel For Dogs, Peter Pan, etc...)

Being born in 1991, I still remember VCRs and older Nickelodeon cartoons.

I was born in 82 but I remember watching a lot of 90s TV. MTV actually was related to music then instead of just having music in the name. They showed lots of music vids then & their other shows tended to be related to music too.

Nope. I'm an 80s kid. Born in '78, lived through all of the greatest decade in history.
