90's kid

[buttercup132]

I saw the 80's thread and remembered a 90's one I found.
I love reading it and looking back on old memories. I was born at the begining of the 90's (1990). I deffinatly remember almost everything listed and a few more I could think of on my own.

This is copied from a myspace bulliten.

Body: If you're under the age of 12, you shouldn't even read this.
& if you do, you should not repost this. Thank you.

Just because you were born in 1997, dosen't mean you're a 9O's kid.
It's not like you could remember the original Simpson.
I am sorry but 3 conscious years of the 9O's just won't cut it.

You're a 9O's kid if:

You remeber watching:
- Doug.
- Ren & Stimpy.
- Pinky & the Brain.
- AAAAAH Real Monsters.

You remember when every thing was "DA BOMB!"


When they made the new lunchables so that you could make pizza & tacos.


You remember boom boxes vs. cd players.


Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them.


You played &/or collected "Pogs."


You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano & brought it everywhere.


One word ... FURBIES.


You haven't always had a computer, & it was cool to have the internet.


& Windows 95 was the best.


You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers, & Ninja Turtles.


Michael Jordan was a king.


YIKES pencils and erasers were the stuff.


All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.

You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.


You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"


You know the Macarena by heart.


"Talk to the hand" ... enough said.


You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.


Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!?

You just can't resist finishing this ... "Iiiiin West Philidelphia, born & raised." Justin and I were singing that last night


Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them. cootie catchers!


You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.
My dad builds those. I'm hoping he'll build one in our yard for Nathan.

[Almita]

I remember all! I miss that stuff, though i still do some of that stuff. like watch or be obsessed with some things. I remember those slap bracelets they hurt my wrists a lot haha. and they were fuzzy as well! Good times.

[Flatcoatluver]

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class.
I loved playing that!

You used to listen to the radio all day just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time.
It seems like just yesterday I would do something like that.

You had slap bracelets!
Slap bracelets were the best thing to have back then!

[animal_rescue]

Sigh you don't know how much that cheered me up reading it, I remember almost everything on there. Gosh how I loved Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, and all those other shows! Playing outside was just the best, I don't think I would have wanted to grow up any other way. I wish I could go back into the 90s again and just be a kid...

[Alysser]

I forgot all about that stuff until now, and yes I remember it all now. I remember Rugrats, Pinky and the Brain, Rocko's Modern life, Ren and Stimpy, Doug, etc. I watched all of them. I've had furbies, slap bracelets, and all that other stuff. Thanks for bringing back memories of "the days". :)

[sumbirdy]

Ring pops were awesome and Pogs! Where have those things gone?
I still watch Rugrats...
I remember when they stopped showing new episodes of "Are you afraid of the Dark?" What was up with that? I liked that show.
I hated that rainbow fish book.

[Twisterdog]

I know a lot of that stuff ... but not from personal experience, but from my son. He was born in 1991. We had a lot of pogs, and a lot of Pokemon cards. And gigapets and furbies. :)

Ok, what is the mysterious song?

I was born in 1984, but I'd say I grew up in the 90's, I definitely remember all of this. It's weird to say I remember when the internet and personal computers first came out. :eek:

[Sevaede]

I was born in 1984, but I'd say I grew up in the 90's, I definitely remember all of this. It's weird to say I remember when the internet and personal computers first came out. :eek:

Remember using those older Apple computers? They were brown-ish, the screen was black and everything in the screen was in green (some were in white)? I remember using those during a library class in elementary school. I actually still have a printout of a picture I made on one of those. :o

[popcornbird]

I was born in 1984, but I'd say I grew up in the 90's, I definitely remember all of this. It's weird to say I remember when the internet and personal computers first came out. :eek:

Oh my, I remember that too. I remember having an XT (I think that's what it was called). I used to play a game called Math Rabbit on that computer. There were no colors on the screen...just black and green. :eek:

Then, years later, we upgraded to a 286.
Then a 386.
Then a 486.
Finally, we got a Pentium, and we all know the upgrades that followed.

I also remember loading computer games from dos instead of windows. I don't even remember how to do that anymore! Maybe is was C:/Games/the games name.

We grew up with the development of computers in our lives. We remember the first time the internet entered our house. We remember the first time cell phones came into being...and we remember when Concords left the airline industry. Wow. Lots of things have happened in these past 17 years!

My parents tell me they remember the first time they got a microwave, and a telephone...and how they used to use telegrams before the days of telephones. Isn't it interesting how the world changes in such a short amount of time?

This thread really brought be back some memories. I was about 5 years old in 1990, so most of my childhood memories are from the 90s. I remember my beloved slap bracelet, how excited I used to get when we would play Oregon Trail at school. (I used to go to the library just to play Oregon Trail AFTER school)! I remember Pinky and the Brain, and so many other cartoons like, "Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers", "Alvin and the Chipmunks", "GummiBears", TaleSpin, DuckTales, etc. Reading Rainbow was something I could NOT miss. I remember Wild America. I remember the Rugrats. I remember the Magic School Bus, and Wish Bone. I remember the GigaPet craze. All of my friends had it. I didn't. I wanted a REAL pet. :p

I remember playing with SillyPutty. In fact, I think I still have mine somewhere. Polly Pockets were my passion, and I have saved every single one of them for my own children to play with in the future. I used to make those little paper fortune tellars all the time. Paper, Rock, Scissors was the game we'd always play when we were bored. Atari was SO much fun. I remember playing a Big Bird game on that. It sounds so silly now. I remember my Cabbage Patch Dolls. I also remember my Cabbage Patch coloring book. I used to color ALL the time!

Childhood was wonderful, and as a child, I never wanted to grow up. I wanted to grasp onto those times forever. As you grow up, you realize you can't grasp onto anything forever. Times come and go. Things come and go. People come and go. But memories remain, perhaps forever, and it is so wonderful to go back on the memory lane and remember the things we used to do as kids.

hmm...what mysterious song?
