Yesh. Well. I would like to know what this cruel world was like while you were growing up. While you were wide eyed an innocent.
Seriously. What did you look forward too, which decade do you 'consider' your childhood?

The 90's. Man I miss those days.
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up,
would you be the savior of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"
He said "Will you defeat them,
your demons, and all the non-believers,
the plans that they have made?"
"Because one day I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join The Black Parade."

90s forever!
a living hell full of Macarena, Super Mario World and Power Rangers
I know every person feels their childhood decade was the best, but things really did seem better in the 90s. I know my parents agree. The economy was great, all sorts of cartoons like Pokemon and Power Rangers and Sailor Moon (Well this was in the US by the 90s) and awesome toys like the skip-it and the Scandinavian pop band Aqua!
My childhood was super mario brothers, Zelda, Wooden sword fighting with my best friend on his dad's farm and soccer against the wall of a grumpy old man's house with my bro and his friends.
Wtf, Lev? That was me with the song lyrics, not Eric. =\
Oh geez. xD
I blame it on the similar av and sig!
Anyone who said the 90s is a plebian philistine who should be thrown into a pit filled with magma.
The 80s are the most superior decade. The 2030s are going to be awesooooommmmeeeeeee :cool:
The world really was cruel when I was younger, but you all know about that already xD
I was playing pokemon. I'm still playing pokemon :bigsmile:
Like many of you, I grew up in the '90s, and it was a swell time. I have so many topics I'd like to touch upon, but here are just a few:
Music
The very, very first musical memory I have is of Sinéad O'Connor's video of "Nothing Compares 2 U". My mother used to tell me how I would ask her why the "woman without hair" was crying, each time the video came on, which was almost all of the time. The Spice Girls... SPICE GIRLS. Everybody like the Spice Girls, and people who say they didn't, are liars. :D
Movies
Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park.
Also, Pokémon. 1998-2010, and I am still playing it. x)
I don't think I remember much before 1990, so I guess this means my childhood was mostly in the 90s. Apparently it was quite colourful, maybe not as colourful as the 80s but still. My childhood pictures before 1998 were all cheerful.
Well, I was born in 1993, and I don't remember much about my early childhood. All I remember was my Mom worked every weekday so I played video games while my babysitter watched tv. I wouldn't call the 00s my childhood, though, because those days really, really sucked, when I was even more of a social outcast than I am now. I hated Middle School, so, so much.
The 90's, definitely. I remember Jurassic Park, Pokemon, and playing Final Fantasy VII on my brand new Playstation in the 2nd grade. I also had cassettes[sp] of Britney Spears and NSYNC, hahaha
I forgive you, just try not to let it happen again. :colbert:Quote:

When you actually see tears on her cheeks, they're real. There is a line in the song about her mother, and her mum had died so when she said the line it reminded her of her mother and made her cry. The cameraman was going to cut but the director said keep going. It worked.Quote:

This pretty much sums it up. I consider the 90s my childhood, and I find it very hard to believe anyone who wasn't there would deny that things were better, and not just because of the cartoons; the economy didn't suck, terrorism wasn't a household term, televisions with channels that matched their resolution were still being sold, a 20 oz coke was 99 cents or less...I could go on.Quote:

Hux is right the 80s were superior :colbert:
:confused:
That's right. Take Pumbaa here
Why, when he was a young warthog...
When I was a young wart hog
Very nice
Thanks
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame He was ashamed
Thought of changin' my name What's in a name?
And I got downhearted How did ya feel?
Everytime that I...
Hey! Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
Oh. Sorry
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna--
i was never wide eyed nor innocent.
the 90s has 90210. the end.
Best song of the 90s. I will fight anyone that disagrees.Quote:

My childhood years really were spent with my hands glued to a game controller (between the mega-drive & n64), it's what happens when you have a brother who's 4 years older and has discovered the wonders of video games and DINOSAURS - he loved dinosaurs, and I ended up doing so too xD I was such a tom boy because of his influence, I've been told I was his "shadow" growing up. Hence my interest in video games today!
I knew you when you were 12. I can't seem to get over that fact. :D
But yes, the '90s were fantastic. I don't really have a bad memory of my childhood in the '90s.
It's crazy for me too xD I've been on this forum for so long, it's crazy, I turn 18 in two months Chris! I disappeared for awhile though, I've only come back recently.Quote:

Musically, I only knew about the Spice Girls because my sister and my cousin were obsessed with them and being Mexican my music tastes were generally limited to Selena for the most part. But this was the time when I played video games like crazy, and I played my first Final Fantasy (FF7). And I spent every summer in that decade in Monterrey, Mexico with my grandmother and my cousins from there.
I miss seeing people tie flannel shirts around their waist. That was the pinnacle of my happiness.
i am still paying video game.
me toQuote:
