        Also can confirm. Just turned 30, was born in 93 and don’t remember all that much about the 90s. I remember a decent amount of the late 90s, but that’s really part of the 2000s. The early 90s is a totally different thing, and it’s the 90s people always describe. Late 90s and 2000s are the matrix vibe.

          You understand this timeline really well for someone who didn’t really experience the 90s.

          It went from hair metal to grunge to pop punk and rap-metal across the decade.

          Also here to confirm, I just turned 18 and I was born in 80 and I just graduated high school and my whole life is ahead of me and I’m looking forward to the future tech of the 2000s.

          Wait, what fucking year is it?

        I would think it was based on your years being a kid, not a teenager. I was born in 89, so when I think of being a kid most of that happened in the 90s although obviously it bled into the 00s too.

          I always think of teenager as the formative years that influence the adult. So when I hear such and such a time kid I think its refering to that time even though its sorta just past the kid years. I feel like when your a kid your just sorta a kid and not as plugged into whats going around timeline wise and then like preteen you are sorta getting an idea but mostly just imitating or hero worshiping. Teen seems like when really started deciding what they liked and did not like. so rebellion and obsessions and such. Granted people change a lot from that time to but to me it feels the most about when a time periods. I dunno. Lets say flavor really sets in.

    Somebody 30 years old is NOT a 90s kid. They barely would have been old enough to remember the last part of the 90s. They’d be an early 2000s kid.

    People always get this wrong. What decade kid you were isn’t when you were born, it’s when you grew up. When you were like 8-16ish years old.

      Hey Arnold 1996

      Dexter’s Lab 1995

      Catdog 1998

      Animaniacs 1993

      These are all classic 90’s kid shows

      If you were 16 in 1990 I doubt you watched much of these shows

      I was born in 1990

      I still remember watching Legends of the Hidden Temple that aired 93 to 95

      I grew up on all the 90’s shows

      I’m turning 34

      I would definitely consider myself a 90’s kid

      Of course if you were born in December of 1999 that’s a lot different

      Like my brother was born in 1996 and he didn’t watch a lot of 90’s shows. Not really a 90’s kid

      But someone that is 30 today was born in 93 and that’s getting close to the cut off.

        98 here - I watched all of these and then some but I also watched all the 00s shows and cartoons. That being said I don’t consider myself a 90s kid.

        Tell me you never went to university, without telling me you never went to university.

          I have two degrees from a university. I went in 2008.

          If you were 16 in 1990 you would have been 21 years old when Dexter’s Lab came out.

          I know when I was 21 I wasn’t watching the newest “kid” show on nickelodeon

            Dexter’s Lab was on cartoon Network, which I absolutely was watching when I was in university and as a young adult, however I was 10 in 90, but I still saw the cartoons of the early 00s, as did a lot of my friends.

        They’ve never even seen a slap bracelet scar, let alone wore their pants backwards or slammed a stack of pogs with an aluminum slammer.

        Then it sounds like you weren’t a 90’s kid either. You were a 90’s teen, and an 80’s kid

      I just walked up 5 stairs and on each step heard/felt a crunchy/crinkely bone sound in my left knee socket accompanied by a slight shooting pain.

      I. DO. NOT. CONSENT.

      /that 40’s life of a 90’s kid.
