If you grew up in the 90's you've gotta read this

[Xameil]

I don't know where you got all that, but the time frame really seems to be off on a few items there.

yeah seems to be a bit of a crossover with the 80's people....

...guess that's why people from the 90's are considered so unoriginal, and have no identity of their own :doh:

( :laugh: j/k ya unoringinal bastages)

Add This: When Hip Hop/Rap was actually good and every lyric wasn't about smacking a ho or shooting someone...

[rictus58]

I was going to say "*",8,1 and see if anyone got the reference. My neighbor had one. I had the Apple IIc, the "portable" one, meaning it had a handle on it.

I can't even remember what OS it used, I just remember playing Karate Champ on it! (and some word processor).

But how many of you had an atari 400?

or an Atari 800?

I had both. some of the games were great fun.

I had the coleco vision with the Atari attachment...

...how about this one....

...The Odyessy.

[stwasm]

Actually, some of that goes back to the '80s.

[Henry]

Actually, the alternate decade theory is a phallacy. I prefer the twenty-year theory.

In the 70s, the 50s were cool.

In the 80s, the 60s were cool and the 70s were horrible.

In the 90s, the 70s were cool and the 80s were geeky.

In the 00s, the 80s are cool and the 90s are forgettable.

Now that we are approaching then end of the decade, early 90s nostalgia is starting up. By 2010, the 90s will be the coolest decade ever.

[Air Force Cane]

I was just talking last night to my girlfriend about what people did for reports and term papers before google!!

I mean, I really grew up in the 80's but most of that from the 90's I have heard of. It seems crazy that back then we didn't have cell phones, IM, email, google, PDA.

yet somehow life went on, we went to college and grad school and had a fulfilling life. In a way those were simpler times.

don't even suggest that...how dare you...no one wants that...no one

I for one cannot wait for Grunge to come back into style. That would make it easier to get away with not shaving for work.

:laugh: well, the scuffy look started in the 80's...never forget that..Miami Vice made the 5 oclock shadow all day cool.

Anybody under the age of 13 should not read this,

Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"

You played and/or collected "Pogs"

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere

You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.

You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles

Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!

When boys still had cooties and girls were still weird.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

SOO true. But not Home Alone 3. That was crap. And not N64, Super Nintendo. But oh yes Oregon Trail day!!!

And when Nick/Disney had great shows. Even going back to the late 80's with DuckTales etc.

[IONTOP]

Why'd you quote the whole thing? I just reread it and realized I had read it when I first read it....

BTW Pogs were 1995, I played them when I was in 4th grade when I lived in richmond, which coincidentally was when I became a Redskins fan...

[rdsknbill]

Happy that I didn't grow up in that era. Most of the posters in that era are smarter than that

[Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers]

wow that brought back memories, good times, but those godammn beanie babies and pokemon, i just dont get why they were so popular.

and the pink ranger was pretty hot

[headexplode]

Did you know that nostalgia started in the 90s, as well?

[Titaw]

I have "give props" to whoever brought this thread back from the dead.

[Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers]

yeah 93-94-95. I was in 5th grade when pogs were big and I'm a couple of years older then you. God that **** was stupid. I was psyched to get a money slammer though.

[SkinsHokieFan]

We used to play marbles at the bus stop in the early 90s

Pogs were middle of the decade

Hell you could add "remember when every fall the Braves were in the World Series but lost?"

A bunch of others I am sure. The "Hey Dude" and "Doug" references were great

Grunge music, stupid flannel shirts, and I do remember the days Kurt Cobian, Biggie and Tupac died

Hell I remember in late 1994 Tupac being shot

Green Day and Basket Case, Soundgarden and Black Hole Sun

I bought my tapes and CD's from Kemp Mill records

The first time I used Netscape Navigator, holy smokes

Fantasy baseball going online

"Live with Prodigy" getting 5 whole hours free a month on AOL in 1995 (man that was a lot back then)

Cal Ripken's streak (has it already been almost 12 years?)

On and on, I turned 9 in 1990 and was a senior in HS in 1999, good times

[headexplode]

Whoever bumped this, I want to say thank you for reminding me of my slow march to the grave.

[DoGood28]

Most of this stuff was hilarious and right on the money. But some stuff was way off for me. I came before pokemon, power rangers, and nsync thank goodness. Missing from this list is Hypercolor and Umbro. I wore soccer clothes to elementary school everyday and I didn't play soccer.

You remember TGIF on ABC. Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World.

Dinosaurs remains to this day the trippiest thing I've ever seen. What an awesome show.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early

on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

This makes me sad. I'm a huge cartoon buff. I would include Animaniacs on this list.

Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!

Yikes were amazing. I'm sure I still have some crazy erasers back home.

I miss the 90's like nobody's business.

[SkinsHokieFan]

Another thing, remember Home Alone 2? When MacCuly McKulkin's character (for the life of me I can't remember his name) had a "Talkboy"

I definitley got one of those

[DoGood28]

Comics, cards, and Marvel were huge. I was a big collector. They used to have a great comic book rack in the grocery store.

[DoGood28]

Another thing, remember Home Alone 2? When MacCuly McKulkin's character (for the life of me I can't remember his name) had a "Talkboy"

I got a talkboy for Christmas and it broke that night. We returned it to Toy's R Us and I didn't miss it.
