I bought one of those a month ago! I love it but I need to change the batteries...

But didn't Iraq bomb the World Trade Center in '01 (or however you want to say that they destroyed it)? I know it was someone in the Middle East...

And those Macintoshes. I remember when I was in 4th/5th grade, I loved the look of the iMacs... But then again, that was in the early part of this decade...

I was born in 1993! I remember a lot of those things. Does anyone remember when McDonald's sold tamogotchi's with happy meals? Heh, Nickelodeon used to be good then too. Things have really gone down hill since the 90's.

Man I really miss the 1990's. Thinking about it often makes me kinda sad because a lot of things were better than. People were nicer in that time too I think. Although there's not much for me to type about this stuff since I barely remember it all as this was before I started elementary school. I do remember some things. I miss most of the things I remember from that time.....

Great, I just made my self sad. :(

Some British memories from the 1990s:

The Pokemon theme song is not only british.


I'm not on about the theme song, I'm on about the pokerap sung by Ant and Dec, before they showed an episode of Pokemon.

Here's a video which will bring back many memories to British Pokemon fans:

Besides that, my childhood memories are only 'clear' from the early-mid 1990s. I was born in 1984, but don't have many clear childhood memories before 1990.

I was born in February of '91...and remember most of this. I can't decide whether that's depressing or not.

Awesome! I was born March 5, 1991! We're birthday buddies! That is da BOMB!



But unfortunately, i have a bad case of computer-radiation induced amnesia, so i can't remember anything past the new millenium... PSYCHE! I can remember just about everything! Funny, now i can get the one-up on all those hippies that keep on quoting crap aout the 70's... and the 80's...

All you people born in 1990 and 1991 are making me feel old :(
The 90s were good though. I spent most of my time in my imaginary land or under the kitchen table. :D

I was born in October 19th, 1986.

I had a digital pet (similar to Tamagotchi), a walkman, and I really got scared with Are You Afraid of the Dark?", Nickelodeon's cartoons were cool. Power Rangers and TMNT ruled!

I remember a lot of things, but that "inkiy binky donkey" thing and other english terms are strange for me, because I'm from Mexico.

I was one of the last people to get interested in Pokémon, so by the time I'd really gotten into it all the merchandise had been banned from school. Fascist bastards. :x I think that Pokémon is one of the few cultural highlights of the late 1990s. Then it started getting too 21st century. :roll:

Although...There was Y2K! That was the highlight of New Year's Eve 1999! And another funny thing was people getting hyped up about the New Millennium only to realize that there was no year "0" (Like Newman!)

I'm not sure which part of that to correct first... :?

1. Iraq didn't bomb the WTC
2. Gulf War I took place when Iraq invaded Kuwait in the early '90s

But I'm not really old enough to remember the politics of the early '90s (I didn't even understand half of the words the reporters were saying when I was three!)

The 90s were generally not a good decade for me. The years since 2000 have been much better.

I was studying for my final departmental examination, the last requirement for my Master's in English, when the Gulf War broke.

I lost many of my beloved family pets, including my cat Samantha. They all got old at the same time. Samantha was the oldest at 20 years, 4 1/2 months.

I was not employed consistently in the 90s, although I did do a lot of writing and had a home editing business. I was not completely idle.

There are a lot of 90s births here, certainly more than I would have expected.

Born March 31st 1986 myself, possibly one of the best ages to be to experience the 90s, starting school at the beginning of the decade and hitting teenage years towards the end of it, proper 'growing up' time.

Maybe because we grew up in a time where we were more likely to be diagnosed with AS.

Probably true, the 90s saw a lot of change in that area.
