"I am so much older than I can take."

I miss the days when Pokemon didn't look totally gay. I mean, I know it's hard to design 150 of them each time, but seriously, it won't hurt to make more of them look cool!

Hell yes.

[Quindiana Jones]

Pokemon will never be "old days".

[Zeldy]

I miss watching SM:TV Live religiously every Saturday morning (9.25 on a Saturday, don't be a jiggly puff, ah yeah~). The days when girls idolised Barbie, not a slutty Bratz doll, and lads wanted to be Action man. The days when you'd play with a tamagotchi, a gameboy colour! and furbies. When Nintendo > all.

Im not even 'old'; I just loved the 90s.

[Cookie]

The only thing I miss is Jurassic Park and Pogs.

I loved Pogs so much. That odd brown furry guy that was on all the pogs was so cool.

A facebook friend has this in her profile. ;_; Oh memories.

We are the kids of the 90’s. The kids who are still terrified of ET, and still excited when they see a My Little Pony or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Who still sometimes treat themselves to Capri Sun’s or Lunchables. We said, if you like it so much why don't you marry it!? We are the kids who know every character from Saved By the Bell and can sing the entire theme song to the Fresh Prince. We used to wake up and run to the only TV in our house to see Eureka’s Castle or Fraggle Rock. Snap bracelets, Skip-it's, curly shoe laces, side pony's, crimped hair, recess! We remember when our first computer weighed more than we did and had a solid black screen and yellow type. The first Gameboy was a genius technological invention to us and playing it was usually saved for car rides only since 90’s cartoons were far more interesting and we still had Nintendo. We grew up with Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone 1 and 2. We crushed on Uncle Jesse. We idolized Donna, Kelly, and Brenda on 90210 if our parents allowed us to tune in on Wednesday nights. We got in trouble in school for wearing Bonne Bell lipstick…AND for having Tamagotcis hidden in our desks. Talk to the hand! We hosted nightly rounds of Ghost in the Graveyard and Freeze Tag with our neighborhood friends. Knew every passage way through every backyard on our block, just incase our neighborhood bully would pull up on his bike, with his Mohawk hair, just to put worms in ours. We lived through the technological revolution… we were the last of the innocent youth. We are the junk generation.

Thank you. Of course, not all of this is true for all of us, but yeah. I remember a lot of this.

As for Pokémon and pogs: What I want to know is how did Pokémon last and pogs die within a week? Pokémon was the annoying fad and pogs were one of the best things in the '90s. I spent years telling people Pokémon was just a fad and would never last while hanging on to my binder full of pogs insisting they would come back. They will. They're just too cool not to. I still have that binder.

And Josta. Josta ruled. I recently found some other people who remembered it. If you liked Josta, you loved it, if you didn't, you never heard of it. It lasted for about a month. Then in the early aughts when Code Red came out, I tried it and said, "This will go the route of Josta," and now it's more popular than regular Mountain Dew.

Kids today don't even know who Nirvana is. Nirvana! It's playing on the Wal-Mart PA system as muzak.

And the only Ninja Turtles that matter are the original cartoon series from the '80s and the cartoon movie made from the first five episodes.

I could just keep going on and on, but I don't want this post to be so long no one will read it. Let's just end in this:

I'm only 27, but damn, do I feel old.

I still have my pog maker somewhere.

I miss the days when Nickelodeon was actually good

Kenan and Kel!

[Ko Ko]

Oh god, Fraggle Rock!

Orange soda srsly.

[Peegee]

Isn't Raistlin like 19 years old? That's hardly old.

You want old?

What's the deal with technology nowadays? You new fangled kids and your 'photo realism' and you computer rendered garbage.

When I was 3 years old my dad took a picture of me and him together and put it in a computer, and printed it out. It was a dot matrix printer so it was wicked sweet. A series of discrete dots formed close enough together, with sufficient dots of varying sizes create the optical illusion of recognizable form.

Now you just look and see realism. FOR SHAME.

I spent years telling people Pokémon was just a fad and would never last while hanging on to my binder full of pogs insisting they would come back. They will. They're just too cool not to.

I'm sure it has to do with the fact that Pokemon not only had the best damn Gameboy game pretty much ever, but also the amount of marketing it did too. And it seems to have experienced a revival with the new game, because a lot of people my age remember how fun it was and it's a little nostalgic for us.

Kids today don't even know who Nirvana is. Nirvana! It's playing on the Wal-Mart PA system as muzak.

I don't know what kids you're talking about because everyone knows who Nirvana is.

[Bunny]

Untrue, but it would be nice if it were. Nirvana was horrible. Kurt Cobain could not sing to save his life. Heh, that works better than I thought it would.

I have a huge bag of pogs and slammers, still. Probably somewhere close to 200 of the former and 20-30 of the latter. They are awesome. I have one shapped like a sawblade.

I miss Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers of the old days. When they weren't this new aged garbage. I also miss Transformers and Voltron. I miss when the Disney Channel was absolutely, 100% commercial free. I miss the days before an "all Cartoon Network". I miss games that put more into difficulty and story rather than graphics and ad campaigns. I miss being carefree and careless.

The Killers are boo.

so far i miss almost everything everyone said so far.

but things i miss/remember are side scrolling video games (megeman, metroid ect.). good old tv shows on Nick. dinosaurs the show. crossfire if anyone remembers that game. pogs of course as mentioned i still have my binder full of them.

Nintendo is still the greatest in my book infact not long ago i played some old NES games. and i play my super nintendo jsut about everyday working on the metroid speed run of mine.

my old toys. Z bots if anyone knows what they are. my old transformers. grimlock sits in my room still. legos are still cool in my book i jsut dont have time to play with them too busy posting on final fantasy forums

I miss watching my slinky go down some stairs and being so totally entertained by it.

[Denmark]

I miss the mid-90s when the music being hailed as "new music" on the "popular" radio stations was actually GOOD.

I miss the heyday of the Super NES. I miss the days when Nintendo ruled the world of video games. I keep wishing people would make new games for the SNES or N64. Those systems were the best ever created, with some of the best video games ever made being made for those systems. (All the rest of the best ever made were made for NES or Game Boy. obviously.)

I miss the days when the Simpsons wasn't running out of ideas and becoming completely ridiculous.

I miss Eiffel 65.

And lastly, I miss the days when my local (about 45 minutes away but the best close one) ski resort was more about the skiing than commercialism and condos.
