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.
