Let's all reminisce and define what it means to be a 90s kid shall we? :cool:

Basically, post things you remember from growing up in the 90s (I'm assuming most of us grew up in the 90s, but if not, post something if you remember anyway :p)

You're a 90s kid if you knew that Kimberly (the pink ranger), and Tommy (the green ranger) were meant to be together.
 
Point of clarification, what age is considered a 90's kid. Are we talking teenager or younger.
 
Pound Puppies, Cabbage Patch Girls, Hamburgler, Duck Tails, Mighty Max, the Mr. Cool Whip Man (and his song) ... why are these all TV shows or TV ads? :eek:
 
dancing along with the fly girls while watching in living color, wearing neon shorts and rayon shirts.. oh and the overalls with one strap hanging loose..
 
Yeah, really. I was born in 83, soooo...does that make me an 80's kid or 90's kid?

90's fo sho.

Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Hercules & Xena (mostly Hercules)
Aladdin
Darkwings
Yo-yos (turning into a fad)
Captain Planet
DuckTales
Apple sucking big time
the Intel Pentium
Gateway was awesome
the 3dfx Voodoo ruled the GPU fort

and my god, the Pogs

I was born in 89, sooo...

Pogs, beanie babies, pokemon, garcia bears, nintendo 64 and playstation:cool:

No way, the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis dominated the '90s
 
oh wait, I do remember the first bush war..

That was all 90s too! :p

90s...let's see

I remember Goosebumps, Monica (you know which one), supersoakers (the kinds with fancy spouts and multiple tanks :p), those yo-yos that were tricked out so you could walk the dog for days, the iMac coming out, everything being ".com-ed," and of course the Pogs!

Oh yeah, and Power Rangers had nothing on Beast Wars. :cool:
 
Nickelodeon in general (the good stuff), Beige Computers (haha), Cartridge game systems, PokéMon cards AND GameBoy Game, Smurfs, ridiculous toys like Moon Shoes and bop-it, Having your favorite cartoons on VHS tape, Taping things with your VCR so you wouldn't miss them, Not knowing OJ Simpson for anything good, BILL CLINTON, cheesy group pop bands like Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys, hair styles like the "duck-cut", probably the last generation to actually choose going outside over electronics because they kinda still sucked (B&W Gameboys, Dial-up internet, terrible load times on PS1, PC gaming was limited to a few classic games like Doom and Wolfenstein), SURGE the soda, the old department stores like Ames, Bradlees and Caldors, Capri Sun juice and GIGA PETS!!!

Yep. It was the good life.
 
I remembered watching cartoons such as Transformers, Mask, He-man - Master of the Universe, does that make me a 90s kid?

Nope. Those, plus the Smurfs, Gummi Bears, and The Real Ghostbusters are all from the 80's.

...fight raged on for a century, many lives were claimed but eventually, the champion stood, the rest saw the better, Mr. Rogers in a blood stained sweater...
 
Oh man, I remember growing up on 90s TV, especially the early 90s. Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, Double Dare, MacGyver re-runs, The Wonder Years... ahhh memories.

As far as toys go, who could forget Game Boy, Sega Game Gear, Atari Lynx, Sega genesis, Super Nintendo?
