I love how 80s kids are so disillusioned they don't realize 90s kids watched all those same shows.

Everyone thinks this about their childhood. All the people who are 13 now will be talking about how lucky their generation was to be kids with iPods and Facebook and Naruto when they're 30.

I used to think the same thing about my childhood until I went back and tried to watch some of the old cartoons I grew up thinking were awesome. Good god most of them were terrible. Yet I still think the stuff we had, like Ninja Turtles, was loads better than Spongebob Squarepants. Oh geez and Saturday morning cartoons and awful sitcoms like Full House and Fresh Prince...so much fun.

I was born in 85 though. Lots of awesome stuff happened that year. I feel quite fortunate to have been born in the 80s just at the right time so that none of the 80s were relevant to me and I became old enough for pop culture and society to be relevant to me just in time for the 90s.

Also I grew up in So Cal. God damn being a kid in So Cal rocked.
