What makes you a 90s child

Not to mention that there is still another half of the decade full of memories that our childhood was all about! As someone up above put it those of us born in were 80s kids who came of age in the 90s.

I was born in Part of the micro generation, called Xennial. Half my childhood was in both decades. Half analog. Half digital. And still a millennial. I entered high school Grade 9 in , and graduated in But around the time I started school in Kindergarten, that signals me that I have become a kid and no longer a toddler at this time.

I was born in , I spend all of my time outside playing in the park, I had a tamagotchi, a furby and a game boy. I remember rewinding VHS tapes and cassettes, and watching the simpsoms and friends because my mom loved that show on tv. The last day of class before summer, we would always have a water-balloon fight in the park, and when in the beach we would play with magic mitts and they would get so full of sand that we had to throw them out.

My favorite movie was the parent trap, and my sister and I would always fight over who would be the daughter while playing with sylvanian houses. I am born in 85 and my memories start at I watched every episode of , sister sister, boy meets world, family matters, step by step, fresh prince. I can go on and on. I remember when nirvana debut on MTV. Nintendo was the thing. For girls there was mall madness and many other games like Trouble and Guess who. Adam Sandler made the Hanukkah song.

Going to teen clubs. Shuffle dancing which is now coming back. Doin the running man and roger rabbit. What are you on about? Your definition makes someone legally an adult before the decade was even half gone. Meanwhile it makes those who had their childhood years entirely in the 90s not 90s kids. I would never call myself an 80s kid cuz I was picking bugs from under rocks, and my nose for most of the 80s.

How could you not watch? When pool noodles became popular, it was kind of mind-blowing. Being able to float on something you didn't have to blow up just made you feel really, really cool—that, and being able to shoot water out of one end like an elephant, of course. They were teeny-tiny figurines that were forever getting lost. But you just so happened to have a zillion of them, so it was all good. CDs were way cooler than tapes, but they were kinda finicky. Blowing and shirt-rubbing were all socially-accepted ways to try to make your CDs play without skipping.

American Girl dolls technically came out in the mid-'80s, but they really blew up in the '90s. Reading about the adventures of your American Girl doll while she chilled nearby on her stand was pretty freaking cool. Unfortunately, you could tape over those tapes, which often sparked epic wars between siblings. And, you know, with cooler outfits. You were either heavy into 'N Sync, the Backstreet Boys, or 98 Degrees, and obviously you were going to marry someone from "your" band someday.

You couldn't ride the fence with these, either—you had to go all in with one or the other. You could spend hours jumping up and down on one of these, and the fact that your parents thought they were dangerous only made them cooler.

Voting for your favorite video to make the top 10 was the perfect way to use up time you should have been spending on homework. No one knew what would happen at midnight on January 1, Would the internet crash and the world shut down? Despite people completely freaking out, nothing happened.

If anyone else dated Justin Timberlake, 'N Sync fans would have hated her. But this was Britney freaking Spears. The two were everywhere in the late '90s, and everyone wanted to be them. Getting a Tamagotchi seemed like a good idea at the time—it was like a pet, but you didn't have to clean up after it. But after two days of forgetting to feed and play with it, you were kinda over it. It's easy to pause your favorite show now when you want to eat, pee, or do whatever.

Back then, you just had to wait for commercial breaks and scramble to jam everything in before they were over. Forrest Gump came out in , and it was huge. Everyone would quote "Run, Forrest, run! The World Wide Web was technically invented in , but it really took off in the '90s. Bright colors, high-waisted pants, old-style makeup, are all thing that was mainly fashionable in the 80s. So many people can dress in a different era than they were born in, which makes people so different.

To know the exact fashion of the 80s, click below to be directed to articles where I talked about it in more detail. The basic definition of an 80s baby is a person that was born in the 80s. But that definition has evolved so much lately because people that were born in the 80s act more differently than in their era.

Meaning some people born in the early 80s act more like they were born in the s, as I mentioned previously. So the primary definition now of an 80s baby is a person that embraces the 80s decade. That can reminisce about all the 80s gadgets they used to have back in the days.

That can be recognized that they are an 80s baby and embrace it. Many 90s kids are quite more mature than an 80s kid.

So a 90s kid is basically a person that was born in the 90s, which is the basic definition. I think a 90s baby is basically what decade you embody the most. Goo: you are a 90's kid huh Predominately a term to describe someone who spent a majority of their pre-adolescent childhood in the 's.

The sweet spot for this definition is people born between the mid-to-late 80's and early 90's. It is often used as a warm, comforting label. This use of the term is also often exploited as a buzz word in clickbait articles, which are written to appeal to the nostalgia of the reader.

The term has also more recently been co-opted by slightly younger individuals, and can more broadly be applied to anyone born in the 's. Though people who follow the first definition often disagree with this use of the term. Greg was born in , and considered himself a real 90's kid. He still has his original Terminator 2 action figures, and used to eat Dunkaroos while watching new episodes of "Batman: The Animated Series" when he was a kid.

Steve considered himself a 90's kid because he was born in
