Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid. It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it. You're a 90's kid if you remember:

You remember watching -Doug -Ren & Stimpy -Pinky and the Brain -AAAAAAAH Real Monsters! -Rockos modern Life. -Animaniacs -Gargoyles
You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!"
You just cant resist finishing this . . . "in west Philadelphia born and raised . . ."
You remember -Step by Step -Family Matters -Dinosaurs -Boy Meets World-Full house
You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
You remember reading "Goosebumps"
You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence . . . not
When everything was settled by -rock paper scissors or -bubble gum bubble gum in a dish or -ms. mary mack
When kick ball was a daily activity.
When we used to obey our parents
You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time on a tape.
You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.

You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.
You remember those Where's Waldo books.
You remember eating Warheads and Splashers Gum.
You remember watching -the 1st Batman -Aladdin -Ninja Turtles -ghost busters
You remember Ring Pops.
you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"
You remember boom boxes .vs. cd players.
Making those little paper fortune things, and then predicting your life with them.
You played and/or collected "Pogs"
You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere.
One word. . . . . . . .trolls.
Windows 95 was the best.
You watched the original cartoons of -Rugrats -Wild Thornberry's -Power Rangers -Rocket Power.
All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.
You collected those Beanie Babies.
You remember Carebears
You know that Lambchop's song never ended.
Silver dollars, which were cool to have.
Everyone watched the WB.
If you even know what an original walkman is.
You know the Macarena by heart.
"Talk to the hand" . . . enough said
You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.
You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.
Before the MySpace frenzy . . . Before the Internet & text messaging . . . Before Sidekicks & iPods . . . Before PlayStation3 or X-BOX 360 . . . Before Spongebob . . . Before Tupac was shot.
When light up sneakers were cool.
When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
When gas was 0.95 a gallon.
When we recorded stuff on VCRs.
You had slap bracelets!
You Actually played outside until it was dark!
You had a furbie and grew sick of it because it wouldn't shut up!!
You remember the ORIGINAL cooooookie crisp commercial with with the little doggy and not that stupid wolf they have now...
Way back. Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

I remember them. Doesn't make some of them less obnoxious then they were. God, I loved me some Family Matters and Animaniacs, though.

Wow, even though some of these mostly apply to America I remember a lot of this. I fucking loved Animaniacs and I didnt realise you guys had the magic school bus too. And its Where's Wally, damn Americans corrupting him.

I still do that.... NOT!

You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.
You tell me Yoyos aren't still cool, I'll dropkick you in the face.

You remember eating Warheads and Splashers Gum.
What happened to those anyway?

You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.
If they wouldn't throw me in a mental institution, I probably still would. Kudos if you remember the xkdc reference here =D

You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.
Do they not still have those?

When light up sneakers were cool.
I must have begged my mom for months for a pair of these!

You had slap bracelets!
LOL

*chuckles* good point, I mya have been born in the 80s but I definitely don't consider myself an 80s kid.

Quoted for truth.

And actually really intelligent, especially concerning 80's music. But the reason I like them is there's hardly a mainstream genre they haven't touched upon and that's respectable.

Re: Do you remember the nineties?

I do like Fly...but goddamn I couldn't listen to it again until 2003 because of how sick of it I had gotten from the 90's.

Wasn't there two Carmen Sandiago game shows? "Where in time" and "Where in the world"? I loved them. They even had a couple games.

Re: Do you remember the nineties?

Ha, I have the Carmen theme on my regular playlist, take that! :p

Also, Pinky and the Brain was awesome, and you missed two of the most important shows: Bill Nye the Science Guy, and Kratt's Creatures! I remember coming home from school, catching the last half of Saved by the Bell, then watching Family Matters, Bill Nye, and Kratt's Creatures all in one go :D
