I don't remember what mine was, but it was probably 1999 by Prince since I graduated in 1999

I generously say birth cutoff is like 93?

You can still remember SatAM stuff at that age.

The real cutoff is if you remember 9-11 in any way

Hell yeah, I knew what that was going to be before clicking.

Interesting.

I feel like you need to be born near the mid to late 80s to ‘grow up’ in the 90s because otherwise you are too young or too old by the end that it would be hard to argue your formative years and transition into early adulthood occurred in the decade, which I un-academically attribute to the decade-generation-identity we are talking about.

I am going to blow all my cool 90s music cred by straight up saying, I love this song

Born in 81 I feel like an 80's and 90's kid in a lot of ways, it's just that I"m going to remember different parts of them...in the 80's I'm remembering mornings cartoons and toys and little kids stuff, in the 90's I'm remembering more music and pop culture stuff that was happening.

90's were probably more formative in some ways but my life was also oddly divided between the 80's and 90's in that we moved from a small town in the middle of nowhere to the suburbs of Salt Lake City in the early 90's, so there was also this fairly big change in lifestyle. I still think of the 80's as a big part of my formative years because of those differences and the way our life was during that time.

Also ya'll who grew up when the Internet was always a thing have no clue how wild it really is to think back to life before the Internet.

I'm a 90s kid cause the first year I remember being aware of was 1992

That's interesting. I was born in '93, and while I remember some 90's shows and music (and 9/11), I would consider myself more of a '00s kid.

I will never be ashamed to admit that I love the late-90s, early-00s Max Martin pop production sound. So good.

Some music writer pointed out that Prince basically invented the Max Martin Sound on his 1991 song "Thunder" and I've never been able to unhear it.

I mean, there's also some New Jack Swing type stuff in there because it's 1991, but it's still remarkably prescient.

It really is wild to think that there was a time when you had 3 to 6 channels in total on TV, and there was no Nintendo, or internet access. You went outside and played on the porch steps with your Transformers, Battle Beasts, and M.U.S.C.L.E. Men.

quote:

Even after we got that Nintendo, it pretty much stayed that way with new toys throwing into the mix (The Real Ghostbusters anyone?), until about the time I turned 11 and being cool in middle school meant you didn't play with toys, and had to do homework. It wasn't too long until the internet happened and everything was different.

I was born in 77 and I've always thought of myself as a 80s kid but a 90s teen. So I remember all the kids stuff of the 80s, Transformers, Mask, overly surgar cereals, and some pop culture stuff like new coke and a lot of music and movies, though that I didn't realize the quality (or lack therefor of) of it. 90s I have much clearer memories because you remember things better from when you were 16 than when you were 8. I can tell you why I liked a movie or a song, or the plot details and subtext of a tv show.

I must have watched over 100 episodes of the 90s Ninja Turtles cartoon but I can't recall the plot of a single episode. Guys, I think cartoons back then were trash. Except for Batman TAS.

an interesting take on loss.jpg, but who?

hatelull posted:

Which who are we talking about here?

The Kurgan was the big bad guy from the first (and best) Highlander movie, which was a super fun silly film but belongs in the 80's flavor of this thread. He was played by Clancy Brown, who other than Sponge Bob I guess his biggest 90's cred would be Hadley from Shawshank Repemption? He also voiced somebody on Gargoyles.

Dude put in work.
