Thread: When I was, a young boy1

    Default When I was, a young boy1

    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."

    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.

    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

    The world really was cruel when I was younger, but you all know about that already xD

    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.

    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.

    I was born in the late 80s, so I grew up in the 90s and they were amazing. And I never liked the Spice Girls, I just thought some of them were hot.

    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.
    That's true btw.

    Anyway, the late 90s was my decade. I don't remember much about the culture at the time though. Me and my friends used to just explore the area, build dens, have water fights, play FFVII and generally have fun. They were great days.
