Are you a 90's kid? read everything, its scary how much of the stuff we loved most is gone & replaced by tech.

RELIST

before you read this i just wanna say, the whole generation of kids born in 1995 and above is f**ked up, when i was a kid it was all about playing outside, my super nintendo(which i still play!) and cartoons, now its all fancy electronics and trying to be a bad@ss in front of ur friends, when i was a kid i was happy with a toy from the dollar store, now anything kids want is at least 200 dollars, and all of a sudden loving ur parents isint cool, i just wish that kids now-a-days couldve known the great feeling of not having to play video games 24/7.

Technology has f**ked this world up.

Everyone watched the WB.

If you even know what an original Walkman is.

You know the Macarena by heart.

"Talk to the hand" . . . enough said.

You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.

Way back.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

    I am so so glad and sad like hell now.. yes, i do agree with you bro! abosultely!

    i was born on 88.. ah, what a happy memories that you had written there, thank you for that!

    i don't live in US, but still almost 80% you list was right and DID happen to me.. and i enjoyed it a lot!

    i am glad you and my generations too :)

    *high five* (they dont really do that anymore do they?? lol)

    I was just thinking about 'now' generation, i have small sis, she was born on 96', not a brat, but she miss out most of these things..

    she never played outside, very rare.. she doesnt love cartoons, which is absolutely weird, though she like spongebob, which isnt funny at all to me (thumbs me down if you dont agree, i dont care!)

    and every single things..

    See the first question of the Adolescent section, 'asking pill from her mom/aunt'.. DEVASTATING!!

    a 13 years old girl, who suppose to be with her girls mate and played, and gossip (which i still remember vividly, my girls classmate did that) are now thinking about having sex, 13?? oh..

    they are so ****** up, i agree 1000%.. they care about their status a lot, their brands, friends, and oh the whining about wanting a gf / bf.. i am sick of it!

    I like to meet my small sis' friends when they came over, they are so skinny and body concious, and mind you horny too.. yes its hormone, still CONTROL IT!

    dont mock up about BOYS BAND too, they were great! i had tamaguchi and nitendo too, and funnily me and my friends we like to play it till now.. :)

    i kissed a girl when i was 18, not ashamed at all of it.. i have few buddies who never had a gf until now, see their life, they are happy and we hang out everyday.. its fun!

    videotaping?? oh yeah, every sunday morning, woke up and tape my fav. cartoon and go back to sleep and watch it afterwards! haha..

    i hope this new kids can have what we have pal, well if they are lucky! i still cant think about, kids wanting to move out and waiting IMPATIENTLY to reach the age of 18.. sad!

    i will live with my parents, no matter what.. i like to be scold, its good to have a guide!

    and young girls, getting pregnant! seriously? shameless! DONT DARE YOU TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, ITS THE FACT!!!!

    Btw, i will re-post your link in p&s section, there are many great people there.. i mean from the 90's :)

    and on which year you were born??

    thank you for this wonderfull memo.. good day! :)

    omg I miss the 90's so much. Best days of my life. By the way I was born in 93. Do you remember the jelly shoes? The plastic lunch boxes rocked either barbie or action man. Now it's all about Dora! like wdf The alien babies were just da bomb, I still have mine sumwhere. Forbies were cool and they drove your parents mad. Do you remember when you say the word sex and thought you were cool. Hove you ever used the statement " talk to the hand cus the face ain't listening and the butt's on vacation? What happened to the world?? Where did everything go wrong! Who knows maybe with all the technology around now, people will be able to build a time machine and go back to the 90's to see what a good time was truly like!

    Acccckk. I'd rather drink bleach then see the color orange in rockos modern life. All those nick shows from the 90s were awful. Pete pete and pete can die, same with hey arnold and doug, they can both go back to the tard factory which mangled their mutant skin and bodies.

    I would have rocko put to sleep instantly. Like wtf is rocko but a crappy orange world (like vomit) dingo who should be shot?

    The world actually hasn't changed though. I see your point. It's just now, only rich people get to enjoy going outside and not playing videogames 24/7. Cause without mucho money, there ain't sht to do even as an adult but maybe practice boxing or martial arts. Cause even clubs have an expensive price tag. Bush destroyed the world, it's not the kids or technologies fault george w bush LOST 28 Trillion dollars that was supposed to go to those kids. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of kids he murderd in iraq via choice.

    Those republicans who voted for him still don't get it.

    I was born in 93 and I remember all this stuff! Man I miss those times! I wish someone would bring back those awesome cartoons like Rocko and Doug! I would remember waking up at 6am every Saturday just to watch them!

    wow, that is kind of interesting. I was born in the 90's cuz i'm now 14. but i'm not like the stuff you're saying. I love my parents. I still kiss my mom good-bye when I used to go to school. If my parents buy me like a $.50 candy bar, i'm happy. I don't have any kind of gaming system except a computer. I get up on saturdays to watch cartoons, but even those things are stupid. I remember magic school bus and reading rainbow, but I don't watch them anymore b/c they're not on tv for me to see. i still like playing outside till it's dark and you can only see your hand in front of your face. I'm not old-fashioned, i'm just appreciative of the little things. i like your question though. star for you!

    OMG SOMEONE ELSE AGREES WITH ME!!!! i was born in 88 and i sooo wish i could go back to the 90's i miss cartoons way early in the morning and all that...gosh life in the 90's was great. and fact of the matter is...TECH SCREWED THE WORLD OVER...lol not...i mean the good ol' days were nice and what not but we are always advancing and i mean somethings we didn't have in the 90's and we have now are really nice plus cures for diseases and all that...

    Yes i am a 90's kid, i remeber most of those things. Born in 1992. Yeah, i miss it. Yeah, tech stuff has screwed this world over, but then again don't forget it also has helped especially when it comes to medical stuff. So it kind of a 50\50 type of thing.

    HEY!!! The WHOLE generation!!!? I was born in 1995 and I rememeber like 90% of this stuff! So you need to change it to most of the generation! I am not allowed to leave my house, but when i was little, i went outside at like 8 and went inside at like 9 or 10 pm! it ain't my fault i can't do this. So not all of us are "f**ked up!" K? Just thought you might want to know that!
