You know you were born in the 90's if...

katyrose221

Only thing I didn't get (and I was born in '82, my sister in '85) was the number 23 reference. Care to remind me what that one stood for?

AAAAAAAH Real Monsters!

You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!"

You just cant resist finishing this . . . "Iiiiiiin west philadelphia born and raised . . ."

You remember TGIF, Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

You remember reading "Goosebumps"

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

You remember the craze and then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books.

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence . . . not

When everything was settled by rock paper scissors

When cops and robbers was a daily activity.

When we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.

You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time.

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green ranger, were meant to be together.

You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.

You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos or You've Been Framed (UK) . . . but never taped anything funny.

You remember watching Home Alone 1, 2 , and 3 . . . and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

You remember those Where's Waldo books.

You remember when Mortal Kombat Was "Da Bomb!"

You remember eating Warheads.

You remember watching the 1st Batman, Aladin, Ninja Turtles, and 3 Ninjas movies.

You remember Ring Pops.

You remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"

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

Writing M.A.S.H. notes.

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

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell".

You played and/or collected "Pogs"

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

. . . Furbies.

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

And Windows 95 was the best.

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

You had a favorite "New Kid on the Block", and you knew all of their names.

When Goth (NOT EMO) was crazy cool! Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, the good bands.

You remember Bewitched, Jump 5, S-Club 7, and that whole period with the boy bands and pop divas.

You remember exactly where you were and what you were doing the first time you saw a Britney Spears or N'SYNC video.

Michael Jordan was a king.

YIKES pencils and erasers were the stuff!

All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.

You remember when the new Beanie Babies and Talking Elmo were always sold out.

You collected those Beanie Babies.

You collected all the Troll dolls

You owned a portable tape player.

If you even know what an original walkman is.

You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" <---FAVORITE SHOW!

You know the Macarena by heart.

"Talk to the hand" . . . enough said

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

You know the significance of the number 23.

You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.

You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.

Two words, Spice Girls!

Before the MySpace frenzy . . .

Before the Internet & text messaging . . .

Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .

Before MIKE JONES . . .

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . . .

Before Spongebob . . .

Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.

When light up sneakers were cool.

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When we recorded stuff on VCRs.

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkmans.

Way back when it was all about N64.

WHEN YOU TRADED POKEMON CARDS FOR A LIVING.

I was 80s and 90s but I definitely still know ALL of the NKOTB names and my fav is Donnie now Hahaha.

mmmmmm donnie is hot even in the saw movies

Erykah3584

Most of this stuff is for kids born in the mid 80's. Not so much 90's. Ya'll were infants when lots of these things happened. Like New Kids on the Block and original airings of Rugrats and Ren & Stimpy. They were my favorite show when I was 6 in 1991. So yeah, not so much for kids born in the 90's.

Ya thats what I was thinking! I was born in 84.
Man! Those were some good times! No worries at all!

TwiFan5

Was born in 1991 and feel old now lol.

aj_rock

So many memories! My parents thought I was crazy for being up so early for CARTOOOOONS!

kimmerroze

Gosh! so many memories.. I definately agree that this should be for people Raised in the 90's not born...

But I also want to add


Candid Camera to the list! LOVED that show!

and Buffy and angel! (late 90's I know but still)


And the Hansens must be added to this list and Skipbo's! How many skips could you do non stop?

ChristinaMarie85

I was born in the 80's and did most of these things.....

Same here!

AmyEm3

born in the 90's?? Acckkk, I'm getting old!

Actually, I was born in '77 and I remember a lot of these things.

flutterqueen04

Haha! Loved this and yes Kimberly and Tommy were MEANT TO BE!!

I was born in '83 and all these were the epitome of my childhood!

vivianleemit

I'm a 1990 baby and definitely remember all of these things. I was also a super girly-girl, so I also remember crazes like friendship bracelets, American Girl dolls, Polly Pocket (!!!), friend.links, the works...

ChristinaMarie85

Only thing I didn't get (and I was born in '82, my sister in '85) was the number 23 reference. Care to remind me what that one stood for?

I was thinking that same thing.

liftingbro

A lot of this stuff was stuff people born in the 80's did.

craft338

you know you were born in the 80's if this thread made you officially feel old for the first time in your life...

maria1993

Oops..

niste_ketlin

'93. And the large majority of this stuff applies to me. I used to like, live on Sourheads. I can still get my hands on them! And they have Sourheads icepops, they are THA BOMB! Yeah this thread has brought back a lot of memories. But I was the one watching Daria and Beavis and Butthead too, even though I seriously should not have been. >.< Oh, and Waynes World.

anubis609

This.

ickybella

Well, I definitely agree that this is for kids who were raised in the 90's because I was born in '85 and all of this made me feel incredibly nostalgic. If I could find a Lisa Frank backpack to take to work with me today, I would, and it took a lot of convincing from my husband to keep me from buying that plastic Batman lunchbox with the matching thermos, lol. P.S. I love Quailman!

MrsCon40

An awful lot of this applies to those of us born in the 70's...

and you have NO IDEA how good Saturday morning cartoons were. they used to actually be FUNNY and not just moving anime comic books.

thunt1990

Oh my gosh this makes me feel kinda old. I was born in 1990. My older sister used to love NKOTB and we played it all the time.
Warheads were my friends and my favorite candy. We had some a few months ago and omg are they nasty now. I dont know how we used to eat them bleh

Beebs33

Gosh! so many memories.. I definately agree that this should be for people Raised in the 90's not born...

and Buffy and angel! (late 90's I know but still)

Oh how I loved Buffy and Angel!!! And I was born in '85:)

katapple

23 refers to Michael Jordan, right?

born in 81 and I remember doing many of these things as well, just not the late 90s stuff

And my 5 year old thinks light up sneakers are still cool!

LovelySophiya

Yah im a 90s baby and I pretty much still love ring pops

arh0117

Anyone remember...

Paint chewing gum that turned your mouth colors and came in different sized paint cans (Blue was the best!!)

Barney and how much we hated him!! (Prob. only applies to 80s babies)

When Brittney, Christina, and Justin were on MMC and you had to subscribe to the Disney Channel. I was soooo mad when it came out on regular cable for free!

the OJ verdict

Reading Rainbow, My Little Ponies, Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers

Gak!!!

Spring Break on MTV (which I wasn't allowed to watch, btw, but always snuck around and did it)

Oregon Trail during computer class!!

Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Oasis-best music is definitely from the 90s!!

Ricki Lake!!

Super Gameboy

When they introduced the Blue M&M

Fruitopia

Oklahoma City Bombing

The blue dress with the stain!! LOL And Clinton of course!

Columbine

When Tonya Harding hit Nancy Kerrigan (I cried so hard)

niavalentino

90s baby right here, and oh man!! Nostalgia lane right there! I bought a pack of Warheads a few months ago because I saw them at the gas station by my apartment and flipped out! My boyfriend never had them before (he's from Germany) so it was a lovely feeling expressing my childhood memories while we puckered our faces. Haha

shelly650

O wow!! I remember so much of this!! Especially Safe by the bell and listening to the radio all day just to recored my fav song!! Oh the memories!!

goron59

Quite a lot of that resonates with me, and I was born in the 60s - but fortunately I never grew up.

fitmommy2012

HAHA! My husband and I were just talking about this a few days ago! We were debating over who the white ranger was on the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers! LOL We were also talking about which power rangers were our favorites! LOL Yeah, it makes me feel old reading that and thinking back to all that stuff, HAHAHA! The good 'ole days! :laugh:

andreacord

Love it.. 90s kid all the way.
