You used to record music off the radio and make yourself a mixed tape.

Your first form of a text message was when you would write notes in class.

You listened to New Kids on the Block.

TGIF was on ABC and you'd watch it.

A hand held gaming device was as big as a brick and you could play Dr. Mario.


What made you a kid from the 90s?

    Did all of those I left in place!

    First call phone was in a small briefcase.

    Had a Walkman AND a Discman

    Bought a particular boom box because it had High-Speed Dubbing for the tape decks

    Tamagotchis!
  • Double Dash, Power Rangers, Guts, and Legends of the Hidden Temple were the ****.
  • Calling into a radio station to request a song I wanted to tape, and then the DJ talks over the beginning or the end of it! There was always a butter knife shoved in the Nintendo holding the cartridge in just the right spot, after I had to blow on the cartridge to get it to work. I slow danced to "Heaven" by Warrant at the junior high lock-in. I had a crush on the blonde from "Just the Ten of Us."

    I always wondered how we as kids just new to blow in the game to get it to work. It's not like it there was a troublshooting section that came with the games or Internet forums were the word was spread that blowing in the game worked, everyone just knew to do it. We would also pump the game up and down in the holding cartridge, that always seemed to work too for some reason. :)
  • Every thing said above!

Choke chains. (LOL rocker chick maybe :bigsmile: ) Sketchers and airwalks being skater shoes. X-files, Star trek Voyager and DS9. Stargate SG1. Nine inch Nails and Marylin Manson. MTV music Awards actually showing music and vidoes lol. :drinker:
