    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.

    I know everyone thinks the decade they grew up in was the best time the world ever saw, and while I don't think that (God knows the 90s had their problems and were no Utopian time), I sincerely feel the world, from an American perspective at least, was a far more pleasant place at the time.

    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

    I was only born in '92 so I was very young during the 90's.. but I think they were the best years to be brought up in. I think a good example is how we had Barbie dolls which were made to look innocent and feminine, and the young girls now have Bratz which are trashy and blargh i really don't like the Bratz dolls xD It was just an all round better time to grow up in really, I'd hate to be young now.

    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.

    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.

    Definitely the 90's. I was born in '86 (almost '87) so don't really remember much of the 80's but the 90's were everything for me. I was actually kind of distanced from mainstream with a few exceptions. 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.
