My 90's children, where you at?

completely accurate. It's the very definition of the 90s in every way, so people like to hipster it up and claim they loved it.

Hell I'm a kid of that generation, and I honestly hadn't heard of that show until high school.

Also gotta bring up something any kid of a reasonable age during the 1990s should remember...

TWA800
 
So because you didn't like it nobody liked it?

Are you fucking kidding me? Fresh prince was the shit. I didn't start watching it until after it was already re runs but whatever.

Fuck, I still don't understand how you hate that show.
 
amen...I was born in 88 you don't see me calling my self an 80's kid.

I wish I would have been a little older for the 90's....but it sure was an epic childhood full of bmx jumps in the back yard, rockin out to casey kasum with the american top 40 (stupid secrest)...always not wanting to wake up for school but when it was Saturday I was up at the ass crack of dawn to watch the cartoon line up....and just not giving a fuck, there literally was no fucks given in the 90's...can we just go back to that.
 
uhhh.... no. i dont think i said that. i said some kids just tried to "fit in" and say they liked it. at least at my highschool they did. calm down bud
 
What do ya mean by that???? How is that a joke?? I think the first tower was complete in 70 followed by the other in 72? Am I missing some sarcasm here or something??
 
I think hes pointing out that the guy was implying you would only remember the WTC if you were born in the 70s. Where the other guy was saying that anyone born around 1920 would know them because they were alive when they were there.
 
This logic works for anything in this thread though. As much as kids want to believe it, not ONLY 90s kids will remember this stuff. I'm sure if I asked my parents about Beanie Babies, pogs, and who Mr. Feeny was, they would also remember, and they are 50s-60s kids. The only people who won't "remember" these things are kids born in mid-late 90s or the 2000s, but they could still have experienced them, seeing as how a lot of these things are still around if you look hard enough.
 
Yea but there is something to be said for living during the time something comes out and being of the target age for said inventions. Sure I remember led zeppelin and love em, doesn't mean I ever experienced the full vibe of the times or going to one of their shows. Kinda like I'm sure our parents know who beavis and butthead are but I doubt they had their lives shaped by them like any teenager of that era did.

 
Good point. I just feel like it's always the "90s kids" trying to alienate the younger generation. You never see anyone talking about how awesome things were in the 80s, even though I'm sure people of that age would be just as nostalgic for their tv shows, music, toys, etc.
 
I am super nostalgic for the 80's shit. I can distinctly remember the day my family got our first NES. It was like the world was an amazing new place. Tom and Jerry and bugs bunny and wiley coyote and the roadrunner all god damn saturday morning. Cell phones that built arm muscles they were so god damn big. Phones with cords that would get knotted around every god damn thing in the room as your wandered around talking to your friends, and you actually had to stick your finger in the fucking dial and turn it then wait for it to spin back before you dialed the next number haha.

I think any generation that lives through monumental changes in technology is a little jaded toward the next generation that doesn't know what it was like when shit just started. As I'm sure the generation before mine hates how easy 80's kids had it growing up.

Hell my brother played d & d like it was his job......because they didn't have any games besides fucking atari. Do ya think they actually liked rolling dice and writing all that shit down with a pencil, fuck no they just didn't have any other choice.
 
it's the show the two guys who created zaboomafoo were doing in the 90's, i was already around 8 or 9 (i think) when zaboomafoo came out so I had graduated on to much more intellectual television such as steve irwin's crocodile hunter. also to the canadians who remember YTV's glory days, my brother worked as like a kid consultant for their shows from 97-99. btw he was born in 89 and i was 92.

Maybe the point of that picture is just that to remember something, you've had to see it go down or live through it, not necessarily hating on anything, although it's in bad taste.
 
Yeah I didn't really dig it that much either, although Ashley(the young one) might have been my first jungle fever crush haha. Was always more of a cosby show fan.
 
I would watch it sometimes just for the soothing logic and baritone voice of uncle phil. He's right up there with james earl jones and morgan freeman. Also the dry wit humor of Geoffrey, lost every time that guy opened his mouth. Why is humor so much more funny when coupled with a deadpan expression.
 
Without getting too deep, it has to be something with the yin and the yang, balance of life, good and bad forming a complete circle that is so fulfilling.

It goes as far back as humor itself, funny man straight man duos such as abbot and costello. Deadpan artists like buster keaton and W C Fields. It's a love of this style that probably draws me toward insomnia getting sucked into old black and whites on the turner classic movie channel. I just can't get enough. So much better than slapstick shtick or the nonsensical jokes of so many of todays comics, they have their place as well but it doesn't floor me quite like a nice chop to the throat of good wit with a straight face.
 
Um, anybody after 1920 that lived a normal lifespan remembers the towers. Honestly they probably remember it a hell of a lot better than the people who were 10 or less when they came down.

That post reminded me of a story we read in third grade. This kids aunt was 100. She had a collection of pennies from every year. "I'm 100 years old and I have all the pennies to prove it". I know that's unrelated but similar logic.
 
yeah, too bad all the schools in my area put the ban hammer on Pogs pretty quick. I had so many sick slammers.

Oh, and
images
that is all.
 
wow, yes, YTV was soo good back then. I most remember when they had that whole thing go on with the slimy green things or something? The girl and guy got like invaded in the central place and I got all worried thinking they were gonna get sick or something along those lines.
 
I racked up countless hours playing Sonic the Hedgehog on Game Gear, but I was really a Gameboy addict.

This was my drug of choice.

Ahaha hell ya! Wasn't her name Sugar? Totally remember that and how the slowly brought that on. A few years after YTV really went downhill. Maybe I was just getting to old for it?
 
Sugar was the girl that came after I think there names were Jenny and Pat, wow can't believe I just remembered that haha. Also the band they made called nuclear donkey!!

And whoever says kids born in '95 aren't really 90's kids I think are wrong, I remember almost everything that gets posted about the 90's, and well. The only thing I never really got into was tamagchi...
