Damn I miss the 90's, just thinking about this. Sure Wii is awesome and the iPod is ridiculous, but there was nothing better than being considered a badass for having a Nintendo 64 and an Anti-Skip portable CD player.

LOL I didn't make the list.

I miss that stuff so much though.

Yeah, the 90's were soooooooooo long ago!

We really are getting old shep

The 90's sucked as far as decades go....the 70's were the best!

I'm 24 but now I feel like an old fart. Thanks.

The 90's were fun. I graduated HS in Nine-Five baby!

Nirvana Nevermind came out when I was a freshman and blew me away. Mortal Kombat, PS1, pagers, CD players in your car, snapple, MTV was cool to watch,,ahh yes the 90's.

Your showing your age there Christy! Ok I remember the 70's too

Voltron. Screw Captain Planet and the Power Rangers.

Voltron was the original.

"... I graduated HS in Nine-Five baby!"

My God...I just received a reunion notice...40th Reunion...from class of 1967!

I feel suddenly ill...better go lie down!

That list is crazy. I think I identified everything on that list except MASH notes which I have no idea about. I'm 22 and that was like a nostaligia list there. Maybe Bowling for Soup should come out with a song called 1995 for me. That list is freaking me out since I know everything.

You saw all 3 Ninja Turtles movies and bought the video games
You told yourself that Ace of Base was the greatest band ever
You discussed what a "Lewinsky" was
You looked at your dad and said "not the mama"
Kenan and Kel were considered great actors
Albert Belle was remembered as a baseball player instead of a certifiable nut
You played "avoid the noid" during your school days
You told yourself Super Mario Bros.3 would never be beaten
You remember laser tag being the coolest game ever

I wish I was a child of the 70s - born in '76 though. Technically yes, but too young to cause any damage....

Dang, all you whippersnappers need to go take a nap.

Try remembering the 60's

Moon Landing.
JFK assasinated.
Bobby Kennedy assasinated.

Elvis was still alive
Janis Joplin was still alive
Momma Cass was still alive
Credence Clearwater Revival was popular and not on an oldies station.
Then came the 70's
Disco

these are just a few things anyone else that wants to add to those lists please feel free.

Not the 1860's GM...

But I loved the 1860's

Why? Did you fight in the Civil War?

I'm 23 and this makes me feel old. One more thing...this may have been a late 80's thing, but does anyone remember:

The Fake Ghostbusters?

Laser tag was awesome! LaserQuest and Qzar were my domains, mostly LaserQuest.

90's?? You kids are making me feel old and I'm only a child of the 80's!

Damn those were the best times ever. Anyone else remember Are you afraid of the dark?

I bought every episode online, even though they're not scary, they bring back great memories.

My kid's were born in 93!

Yeah, I'm 19 right now, and if someone says they were born in the 90's, I'm like WHAT???

You know, some of these things that you 90's kids are claiming for yours aren't 90's things, they date back to 80's kids and even before that...

Saturday morning cartoons
Oregon Trail Day
School House Rocks

all pre-dates the 90's by several years (and I'm sure there are more examples, brain just isn't fully functioning yet -and before anyone interjects...is it ever? lol)

It's time for An-i-man-i-acs
And we're zany to the max
So just sit back and relax
You'll laugh till you collapse
We're An-i-man-i-acs

Come join the Warner brothers
And the Warner sister Dot
Just for fun we run around the Warner movie lot
They lock us in the tower whenever we get caught
But we break loose...
And then vamoose...
And now you know the plot

We're An-i-man-i-acs
Dot is cute and Yakko yaks
Wakko packs away the snacks
While Bill Clinton plays the sax
We're An-i-man-i-acs

Meet Pinky and the brain
Who want to rule the universe
Goodfeathers flock together,
Slappy wacks 'em with her purse
Buttons chases Mindy
While Rita sings a verse
The writers flipped
We have no script
Why bother to rehearse

We're An-i-man-i-acs
We have play for play contracts
We're zany to the max
There's baloney in our slacks
We're An-i-man-ee
Totally and zany
Here's the shows namey
An-i-man-i-acs
Those are the facts!

I still have my moments,lol.

But ot me those things will always be 90's.

It goes by when you grew up, not by when you were born. I was born in the early 70's. But I am an 80's child (when I did the majority of my growing up...puberty)

I was born in 1987, my dad says I am bad luck because the Browns lost that year.lol.
