Thread: Are you a 90's kid?

  1. #1

    Default Are you a 90's kid?

    You know you're a 90's kid (born pre-1989) if...

    You can sing the entire rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air".
    You've worn leggings and felt stylish.
    You yearned to be part of the Baby-Sitters club.
    You use to love playing with your MY Little Pet Shop.
    You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
    You wore a ponytail on the side of your head and had scrunchies.
    You remember reading "Goosebumps".
    You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, wax off".
    You have pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.
    You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.
    You remember the craze and subsequent banning of yo-yo's.
    You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...
    You knew that Kimberly, the Pink Ranger, and Tommy, the Green Ranger were meant to be together.
    You collected Pokémon cards.
    You wore socks over leggings scrunched down.
    You knew what it meant to say "Care Bear Stare".
    You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell".
    You played and or collected "Pogs".
    You used to pretend to be a MIGHTY MORPHIN' Power Ranger.
    You had at least one GigaPet/Tamagotchi/NanoPet and took it everywhere
    You watched the ORIGINAL Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles
    You remember when the new Beanie Babies were always sold out.
    You used to wear those stick on earings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes.
    You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"
    You thought it would be so cool to be Alex Mack.
    You know the Macarena by heart
    "Talk to the hand" ... enough said.
    You thought Brain from 'Pinkey and the Brain' would finally take over the world.
    You were made to wear a pair of leggings with the straps on the bottom.
    Bum Bags, or Fanny Pax whatever you called them.
    You collected tazos.
    "I'LL BE BACK!"
    2 words ... SPICE GIRLS...

    Feel free to add things to the list.

    The most important aspect of being a product of the 1990's is having watched Jurassic Park when it first came out. This is imperative. I did this and thus am able to claim the title "90's kid".

    Wow, all those things that I left apply to me. Freaky. xD I am totally 90s. I was born 1990 though.

    I freaking miss My Little Petshop.

    Don't forget those snap on bracelets and the tickle me elmos. Or Furby. And when Nick had good shows like that temple show with the BLUE BARRICUDAS! And I remember having like, 20 cheap knock offs of Tamogatchis as well as a Tamogatchi. I also had that Pokemon Pikachu where you'd shake it or walk with it attached your belt loop to gain points.

    Hahahahaha! I agree, I was only like six when I saw it at the movies. Yeah, children that young shouldn't have been able to see it. I'm glad I did though, great memories. Oh yeah, where is "Vanilla Ice?" Ice, Ice, Baby was like the soundtrack of the 90's.

    Who else woke up 6:00 AM to watch Sailor Moon on one of 21 channels? I forgot which channel, but when I was little, we only had 21 channels.

    Oh my God. xD A lot of those made me laugh. The "Are You Afraid of the Dark" thing. I was just thinking about that show the other day. So awesome. I remember one of the episodes that really creeped me out was one where this clown was under the bed. And then there was this horrible one where this boy ended up stuck in a videogame forever. :(

    What about Pete and Pete! Was that what it was called? I never watched it, but there was this commercial that played all the time when it was on, where one of the Pete's got a marshmellow stuck up his nose. Yucky.

    I remember Crazy Bones also. That was a really dumb fad, my brother was in on it. xD

    What about TGIF Friday on Channel 7 (I think it was 7? Or was it 11?) Sabrina the Teenage Witch, man! I loved TGIF.

    I was born in March of 1993, but I can relate to SO MUCH of this stuff. I still collect Pokemon cards. ^_^

    You should add to the list: "Remembering when Pokemon was HUGE and was being banned from schools."

    The following applies to me:

    You wore a ponytail on the side of your head and had scrunchies.
    You have pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.
    You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...
    You collected Pokémon cards.
    You had at least one GigaPet/Tamagotchi/NanoPet and took it everywhere
    You know the Macarena by heart
    "Talk to the hand" ... enough said.
    You thought Brain from 'Pinkey and the Brain' would finally take over the world.
    2 words ... SPICE GIRLS...

    Okay, maybe it wasn't THAT much, but it's a lot for me! ^_^
