I was born in '84 and I consider myself 90's kid. You have to be able to remember new episodes and watching new shows to count it as your experience. I mean you're not including key points to the earlier part of the 90's. The WB after school line-up, including Animaniacs, Terrible Thunder Lizards, Denver the Last Dinosaur. Also, when Nickelodeon made the very first Nicktoons Sunday line-up of Doug, Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, later Aaaah Real Monsters. Shows like "Dinosaurs" stopped airing before you were born. Jurassic Park was even made before you were born. I mean 2 pac? You were like 1 when he died. I was in middle school when he put out "California Love". Saying you are a true 90's kids is like anyone born today watching reruns of All in the Family and listening to Jimi Hendrix, then calling themselves a 60's kid. Thank you below me. Talespin is a great example.

answer to 1) this is a story all about how, my life got flip-turned upside down, and I'd like to take a minute so sit right there, an I'll tell you how i became the prince of town called Bel-air.
sorry for rambling, some good nostalgia here.
