If you can appreciate the following things, you are a 90's kid:

- The huge popularity of Pokemon trading cards
- You can remember a time when you didn't own a computer, and getting access to the internet was the coolest thing ever
- You took a plastic cartoon lunch box to school.
- You've read 'Goosebumps'
- You can sing along to the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" theme song
- You always wanted to send in a tape to "America's Funniest Home Videos" but never did tape anything funny.
- You remember the Furby, and Pogs
- Captain Planet
- You remember how annoying it was to always have to rewind VHS tapes

Damn those were the days. I had a dream about elementary school and that's what spurred this on.

Name some cool 90's shit.

I remember when Dial-up was *almost* acceptable

-Tamagotchi (first gen.)

-Beanie Babies (briefly)

More will come, I'm sure.

Oh gawd. I still have some pogs. Along with Pokemon, I used to watch the X-Men and the Tick on Fox Kids. Can't tell you how much of my youth was spent in front of a television and VHS player.

I was in middle school in the 90's, and I remember everyone at school wearing long sleeved flannel shirts. I LIVE IN SOUTH TEXAS. Fucking grunge music and their depressing clothing. *shakes fist*

[Elindoril]

I loved Sailor Moon as a kid.

Also the SNES.

[Wangalang]

Dragon Ball Z. McDonald's toys.

I have to admit though, I'm barely a "true" 90's kid (having been born in 1989). I missed a lot of the really early 90's stuff as a consequence of being too young, but the middle and later parts I remember fairly well.

I remember everyone wearing overalls back then.

Fido Dido was like everyone's role model in my country... we used to collect 7UP glasses to be cooler.

Also I still have my pokemon cards, sometimes I bug my boyfriend until he agrees to play with me :3

I remember the boom of electronic music and how much I hated it because I heard it in the radio all day long... Now I listen to electronic music all day and I enjoy it a lot.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons - DOUG Amiright?

[Boggart]

I loved DOUG!

Tamagotchis anyone? Tamagotchi Pikachu!

[Waser Lave]

I loved DOUG!

Tamagotchis anyone? Tamagotchi Pikachu!

Tamogotchis were way better than Pokemon imo. Did the yo-yo craze make it over the Atlantic?

Oh yeah, everyone had yo-yos.

[Elindoril]

Oh yeah, everyone had yo-yos.

I had one, but it sure outsmarted me, as I could never use one right.

[Puppetmaster]

Oh yeah, everyone had yo-yos.

Incidentally, I just picked up my old yo-yo this morning. Nothing serious, but that thing had a lot of good memories.

- The huge popularity of Pokemon trading cards (still got 'em)
- You can remember a time when you didn't own a computer, and getting access to the internet was the coolest thing ever (I went to the library to get on mud)
- You took a plastic cartoon lunch box to school. (I couldn't afford one)
- You've read 'Goosebumps' (lots)
- You can sing along to the "Fresh Price of Bel Air" theme song (never liked this show)
- You always wanted to send in a tape to "America's Funniest Home Videos" but never did tape anything funny. (back when Saget was the host and I couldn't afford a camcorder)
- You remember the Furby, and Pogs (couldn't afford a Furby, but had a shitton of pogs)
- Captain Planet (the power is YOURS)
- You remember how annoying it was to always have to rewind VHS tapes (also burning out the auto-rewinders)

[ShadowLink64]

I remember Full House being on constantly also. And Cheers, whatever that was (didn't care at the time).

Oh, and Family Matters! Steve Urkel was... strange.





(Back when Mary-Kate and Ashley weren't hoes!)

[Redemptionist]

i remember reading every one of the goosebumps books back then

I remember yo-yos getting banned at my school

[ShadowLink64]

I remember yo-yos getting banned at my school

I remember Pokemon cards getting banned at school, not yo-yos though.

[Puppetmaster]

Out by me, pokemon survived most of the school year after they became huge, but tamagotchi got banned right off the bat.

[Xwee]

LOL at my school it was tamogachi's and other electronics that got banned cause some kid forgot her portable cd player in the bathroom (we had a door in the classroom that led to a unisex bathroom) and assumed it was stolen.. (probably other similar problems but that was the only one I knew about, figures that the following christmas I finally got a tamagochi (from McDonalds/Burger King not sure which))

[luvsmyncis]

JNCOS ANYONE?

[Waser Lave]

JNCOS ANYONE?

They seem pretty hazardous to me. I don't recall those ever being a craze over here.

[jcrdude]

JNCOS ANYONE?

I have a buddy who is still getting his $80's worth or whatever they cost. All I remember: Out of my price range
