If you look at all the facebook groups and stuff 90s nostalgia is well and truly here, especially amoung people my age (im 19) because now were old enough to remember all those childhood memories.

the 90s were sweet :thumbsu:

You missed half the 90s mate.

Little kids are idiots. Nothing to remember from that age.
 
I posted in a similar thread to this some months ago; I was going through some old video tapes and found and watched a programme I had recorded from 1998. Although some adverts looked outdated (one was for Ansett Airlines), the programme itself was not that out of place. However, if in 1998 I had watched a programme recorded in 1988, it would have looked very outdated. And things from 1978 looked dated by 1988 etc.

The early 90s, however, (1990-1994) do look dated, and have a different look from the 1995-99 era. In some ways this is similar to the 1960s; the early 60s are very different from the mid-late 1960s, with the British Music Invasion, Flower Power, Woodstock, Moon Landing etc. The 1960-64 era was like a transition period; the 1950s had finished, but the "true" 60s hadn't begun.

I would say a decade doesnt really get its flavour until about 3-4 years in anyway. I started primary school in 94 and finished in 2000 therefore my entire childhood was in the 90s. and my best memories are of childhood and all the stuff that goes with it from the 90s, all the games and fads and clothes and music and awesome tv shows. so yeh i think im entitled to have 90s nostalgia
 
Lets be serious though....

You missed the hype of The Simpsons beginning... -the biggest institution of being a 90s child.

And you missed that stupid Dinosaurs Show that kinda tryed to copy it.... "NOT THE MUMMA! NOT THE MUMMA!"

Plenty happened pre 94.

And thats just off the top of my head.

No doubt you were involved for a lot of it.

But its hard to remember much more then a name of a TV show from when you're between 3-9.

I was born in 83.

Basically the entire 80s are a blur.

Sure.... I can remember some stuff but I was a 90s kid.

The Dinosaurs tv show as in "I'm the baby, gotta love me!"? I used to watch that. And I'm basically the same age as the guy you said 'missed half the 90s'. I'm definitely a 90s kid. And if you were to disagree, what am I then, a kid of the 2000s?? Definitely not.

Yeh... You probably watched repeats on a Saturday Afternoon 4 years later.

When that show came out it was a BIG deal... There was a big push... Marketing for it was unavoidable at that time... -if you exposed yourselves to similiar things that I did as a 7 or 8 year old.

I remember buying a full colour glossy magazine all about it.

And they had a regular Simpsons magazine as well which was a fairly big deal. Especially around the time of the "Who shot Mr. Burns?" episode.

I'm not doubting you kids are kids of the 90s.

I'm just saying that you missed half of it due to being too small to remember/experience things properly.
 
When I think of the 90's I think of the popularity of basketball, particularly in the early to mid 90's.

I actually have the boardgame for the Dinosaurs tv show.

The basis of the game was to get around the board the quickest, and feed the baby from memory.

Same... i still have that and my other boardgames from my youth. Had TMNT, The Simpsons (the first one with Simpsons money :D), NBA JAM and a few other fad ones (i collected a Wheel of Fortune and Sale of the Century game lol).

I was born in the early 80's, but have a good recount of what went on in the 80's and through the 90's.

Highlights for me were Masters of the Universe cartoons (when looking back, they were still being repeated regularly until the mid 90's - despite only bein in production in 82 - 84), TMNT, Simpsons - the hype was great (had the figurines, early episodes released on vha, board game, nes game, 3D magazines etc).

The videogames, from the Atari - through to the Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga (still have them in working condition too :thumbsu:). Arcade games were a treat - NBA JAM, TMNT 1 & 2, Simpsons Arcade, Chase HQ, Final Fight, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat plus countless others.

I don't recall the fashions, i know there were weird coloured bicycle shorts, hypercolour t-shirts and other weird stuff.

Maybe your childhood is a blur but mine isnt - I vividly remember the who shot mr burns hype and how we had to wait all summer to find out - except i already knew because i was cool lol.

i would say being born in 83 would make you a teenager in the 90s - and its not like i was born in 93 - i was born in 89 so like i said, i can remember things from pretty much 93 onwards.

and like that other guy said, if were not children of the 90s then we must be children of the 2000s which obviously were not - ive been a teenager for almost the entirety of this decade. therefore were children of the 90s.

were just as capable of having nostalgic feelings of the 90s as everyone else is, if not more since for most people childhood memories are happy ones so why wouldnt we have tonnes of greats things to reminise about.

have a look at the facebook group that basically somes up our childhood in the awesome 90s - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2336048220

although some of them are general memories that everyone has, some of them are very 90s specific
