Just because you were born in '92 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

There, I beat it. Yeah the '90's rawked, especially saturday mornings.

God I'm totally a 90's kid.  About 95% of those things apply to me.

Compared to every other decade (thus far) the 90s kicked ass.

No one can deny it.

Is this supposed to make me feel old? Some of that stuff happened such a long time ago. Where is Clarissa Explains It All? Roundhouse? Pete and Pete?

I remember Pogs and their subsequent banning from school. I remember staying up on Saturday to watch Snick, and then going to bed right after. I remember it being ritualistic to get up for Saturday Morning cartoons. I remember getting up at 8 without the assistance of an alarm clock.  I remember Bloody Murder and Ghosts and the Graveyard. I remember Flashlight tag, capture the flag, and king of the hill. I remember when the NES was new, and when my good friend TheEvilLeon won one. I remember Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being the best thing since sliced bread. I remember being wowed by the SNES. I remember not having a job. I remember MJ being on the TV because of his music, not because of his behavior. I remember when MTV played music. I remember HB cartoons every weekday morning.

God, reminiscing makes me feel older than 21. I can't wait until I am reminiscining about being 21. Good thing the world won't exist after 2012.

How about these:

When Prodigy was bigger then AOL

You remember the hand signs for: "Too legit, too legit too quit"

when your 486 with Windows 3.11 was the ultimate gaming michine.

Iraq part I

Bush part I

When it took 5 hours to download a song on Napster with your 56K.
Just wanted to add a few

Sadly like 99% of those applied to me.  The 90's own my soul.
NGD:gay: 90's
~~NGD

A lot of that applies to me too, but it's generally aimed at the US, since a lot of that shit didn't get as popular here in Europe from what I understand.

I do agree tho, the 90's kicked ass...

|D |D |D
Napster ruled.

Too bad they are sell outs  >:(

lol

90's were good, but the 80's ruled!  :P

I think about 87-93 were the best years for me 8)
~~NGD

Wheres Den and wrldstrman to tell us how the 60 where. ;)

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: dont really remember the 60s much but the 70s ...best decade ever.

The thing I loved most about the 70s was everyone was more friendly and the political correctness wasnt heard of....You didnt have ten thousand different groups trying to tell you how to live your life.

as far as cool things

the music rocked even todays kids still buy and listen to led zepplin,pink floyd,eagles,lynard skynard etc

cartoons,fat albert, kimba the white lion,herculoids,space ghost,ultraman etc

pong and at the end of the 70s atari ruled.

no espn no mtv  you were lucky if you got 2 channels
wide world of sports  on saturday or sunday the played whatever maybe a college football game maybe a pro game sometimes bowling.

we had canvas converse tennis shoes bellbottoms and platform shoes and disco

But like stated earlier I miss the everyone was more friendly and you just lived your life

i think everyone will think of the decade when they were young as a good one because life was much simpler when you didnt have all the worries of life on your shoulders daily

I have to concur :)

Bell bottoms came back in the 90s anyways.
But only chicks wore them this time.
wierdos :P

The 70's?  Isn't that when you had to ride your dinosour down to the Sears cave and buy your Atari games.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

Den how where the 60's and 70's?

The 60's were way too long ago to remember!!!

Ok I do recall a few things, like replacing our old Black and White TV with a 19" Color (I remember being disapointed that some of the shows were still in B/W)  I remember playing my first computer games on a friends father's Commodore PET.  I can remember being in a little diner with my folks and seeing/playing a Pong game for the first time, my sister and I played three games because we begged for the third quarter to break the tie after two games (I don't remember who won!)  And I remember coming home from school and finding my brother playing our new 2600, I didn't think it could get any better than that.

Did it?  :P

90's nostalgia already?  yikes

God, it is surprising how the times come and go. Some of those things brought instant flashbacks.
