Even though most of those are US things, I still got most of them.

Same counts for me. Great list. Cookie for you.

VG Emblem

I was born in 92 and have memories of a majority of that list.

VH1 doesn't cut it.

VG Emblem

I was born in 92 and have memories of a majority of that list.

No you don't, ask Wesker said VH1 doesn't count. My brother 93 coun't tell you what half of that **** is.

Bi0hazard

um no you had to have been a kid during the 90's age 5+ to really remember/appricate this stuff in it's PRIME thats what should have been noted its PRIME not now where it's just rehased and drained for notsalgia.

Stop talking, you aren't getting any sentences out right and you sound like an idiot. Even if you could make your point it'd probably be stupid.

VGEmblem should just shut up too though. Because he's coming out sounding more lame than anything.

But yeah, the list is broad, really broad. Especially the part at the end. But like 1/3 of the list is pretty much, "did you grow up watching Nick in the 90's?" And I can't really like think of a kid that didn't.

As a decade the 90's stomped all over the 2000's. I can't wait until 10 years from now when I have to read some lame list about gay cowboys, MadTV, and 50cent.

No mention of colorforms? I think thats how you spell it, those things were awesome in the day.

A hard lesson I learned when I was a kid was that dynamite colorforms from the Batman colorform kit are not meant to be shoved up your nostrils.

I also:

burned myself on many Creepy Crawlers

role played Saved by the Bell during recess in school

collected Police Academy, Ghostbusters, TMNT, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Beetlejuice, Mighty Max, and He-Man figures, but never played with the Mossman because he smelled like caca

would actually find awesome things at yard and garage sales

thought Nickelodeon Gak was ten times cooler than Playdoh or Silly Putty

never bothered reading any of the Weekly Readers in school

had dreams about flying in the skies with a raccoon tail

idolized Beavis and Butthead

bought more Pogs or Pokemon-related merchandise than I should've

could never beat Speedway Math

watched reruns of Knight Rider

thought Discovery Zone pwned Chuck E Cheese

wanted to be Michaelangeo from TMNT and would always be cautious was crossing sewers to see if I could catch a glimpse at any of them

I think I'm gonna cry. *tear*

Also to "Your favorite song was "The Right Stuff" by New Kids on the Block...", while that wasn't my favorite, "Please Don't Go Girl" was back when Joey McIntyre was going to be my future husband, I had the home video set, every CD and concert memorabilia for years until I moved from Chicago a few years ago.

The rest of the list just completely melted my heart and I can only take comfort in the fact that memories are usually looked back upon fondly because you ignore all the crap that went along with them at the time.

*sings very loudly(
The first time was a great time
The second time was a blast
The third time I fell in love
Now I hope it lasts
I can see it in you walk
Tell it when you talk
Can see it in everything you do
Even in your thoughts
You got the right stuff baby
I love the way you turn me on
You got the right stuff baby
You're the reason why I sing this song
All that I needed was you
Oh, girl, you're so right
And all that I wanted was you
You made all my dreams come true (whispered)
Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh. (stupid arm movements while doign the footlocker)
Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh.
The first kiss was a sweet kiss
The second kiss had a twist
The third and your fourth kiss
I don't want to miss
I can see it in you walk
Tell it when you talk
Can see it in everything you do
Even in your thoughts
Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh.
Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh.
Girl, yeah baby
You know you got the right stuff
Girl, yeah baby
You know you know you got it, girl (sly smile)
In my life, it's so right
You made it.
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh the right stuff.
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh the right stuff.

Oh man, I totally remember like the entire choreography for that video! I'm such a goober.

i have an autographed new kids on the block vhs tape...with the video to that song on it...so. ****ing. good.

She was the Smurf town whore.

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

You danced to "wannabe" by the Spice Girls, and...

...females had a new motto, and males got a whole lot gayer.

Ricky Martin and girl power?

You remember the craze and subsequent banning of slap bracelets and slam books.

What?

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence... Not!

I stopped doing that when i was like 7

You played "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" at school and then went home to watch it on TV.

The theme song was awesome. For anyone interested in getting another nostalgia trip. Go to www.yahoo.com and click on the yahooligans link. old episodes ca be found of this show. As well as this Sherlock Holmes animated series. Zelda, MArio and a few others.

Captain Planet. Enough said.

Earth, wind water and the ever so inane heart. How **** was heart!?

You knew that Kimberly, the Pink Ranger, and Tommy, the Red Ranger, were meant to be together.

I thought Tommy was the green/white ranger?

To the last sentence you said "Hey, Tommy was the green* ranger!"

I replied without actualy seeing the above sentence :p. Oh my.

Then you said "And he was the White Ranger!"

You begged your parents for a new Beanie Baby every week.

Huh, what and no.

You remember a time before the WB.

It was overated.

You know the Macarena. (BPB people automatically get this one :-p)

Not properly. Tillt his day.

"Talk to the hand."

Greet my middle finger.

You hoped Brain would finally take over the world.

it was always that Pinky's fault.

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

What?

You wondered why the plastic Slinky didn't make it down the stairs like the metal one.

Neither did. Countless hous were wasted trying to see if the little **** would travel down stairs.

When we were younger...

We all wanted L.A. Gear... and L.A. Lights

So. ****ing. True.

You weren't allowed to get British Knights (BK) shoes because they looked like gang shoes.

You're on your own there.

We rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.

So many uncompleted games.

Joey_numbers

i'm glad i was born in 86. Partial 80's kid and ful on 90's kid. I think its sad that my sister still claims she's all 80's when she was born in 88. She like jams out to cindy loper and wears bright colors. She owns a shirt that says product o the 80's, which is kinda taken out of context.


Whatever.


anybody remember the show "Dinosaurs"? i fell asleep in class the other day and it was the first thing on my mind.

"Not the Mama!!"

Sir Burley Bee

That list made me feel a helluva lot older than I actually am.

As a child of '89, I remember roughly about a half of these- the others are either american or just something I didn't do (like Pogs and psych).

Now I know why you think the Stone Roses 'Second Coming' is a good album - you're like 16. Get 'The La's' (GO records - 1990) and stop listening to that commercial ****e.

I was an '80s kid, FUCK the '90s! The decade that cool forgot.

The 80's was the best decade ever, just look at the movies and the music, it is great all around. One movie can sum it all up, and that is Breakfest Club.

How do you remember the 80's at all? I personally have a very sketchy memory of anything before kindergarten (1990). The only reason I know anything about the 1980's is because of what I've seen on VH1

I love how a couple years between a person and his/her childhood can turn crap to gold. Seriously-- you were victims of clever marketing campaigns. Angle instead of substance. Admit it.

How about no, Scott? ROFL NINETIES REFERENCE FTW

Also it kind of bothers me that cultural changes tend to occur more often on the 5's than the 0's. Like '75-85 and '85-'95 feel much more like consolidated pieces of culture than the '80-'90 or '90-2000. So saying "I love the 90's" or "the 80's were awesome" is like... no, that's just so wrong. They were both incredibly shitty decades. But '85-'95 was pretty awesome, and that's where I'd identify my childhood.

Pinky and the Brain.

Being "old" referred to anyone over 20.

When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.

Who'd have thought you'd miss the 90s so much?

Well, I'm not from America, so lot's of the things on the list are a bit unfamiliar to me, but other things aren't...

I think Tommy was/is the coolest ranger ever... Especially as the Green Ranger, wreaking havoc on the other power rangers, who I was more than sick of until he arrived,... wham there he was, a ranger drawing his powers from the dark side, commanding a Dragon as his Zord: the DragonZord, and with enough strength to whipe the floor with all the other ranger's combined...



It's a pitty Sega had to disappear from the console-makers market, they were a hell of a lot better than Sony... (or M$)

I've actually killed a Furby, and now they're back, I'll probably kill even more of those nasty critters...

I did not cry during the Lion King, almost but no...

Not the mama... Gotta love me...
I still watch those Dinosaur reruns sometimes

Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night, Pinky: Try to take over the world!"

Old, I'm almost 20 now, I am getting old...
