Roostophe Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I received a simple MySpace bulletin that read thus: If you are under the age of 13 you should not read this And if you do, you should not repost this. Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid. It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it. You're a 90's kid if: You can finish this [ice ice _ _ _ _ ] You remember watching: -Doug -Ren & Stimpy -Pinky and the Brain You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!" You just cant resist finishing this . . . "Iiiiiiin west philidelphia born and raised . . ." *sings* You remember: -Sister Sister -Kenan and Kel -Sabrina the teenage witch. You remember when it was actually worth getting up early On a Saturday to watch cartoons. Supermarket sweep. You remember reading "Goosebumps". You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school. You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence. NOT. When everything was settled by: -rock paper scissors. -turn around, touch the ground... -ip dip doo the cats got the flu... When playing 'run outs' was a daily activity. When we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb. You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time. Sega games.... Sonic! You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green ranger, were meant to be together. <3 When daytime t.v was all learning stuff for kids, that your parents made you watch if you stayed off school. You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular. You always wanted to send in a tape to Britain's Funniest Home Videos . . . But never taped anything funny. You remember watching Home Alone 1, 2 , and 3 . . . And tried to pull the pranks on "intruders" You remember watching: -The Magic roundabout -kipper the dog -button moon You remember when Yo-Yos were cool. You remember those Where's Wally books. You remember eating thoses biscuit rings with icing on top. [[Party Rings?<3]] You remember watching: -the 1st Batman -Aladdin -Ninja Turtles -3 Ninjas movies. When starburst were called opalfruits. If you remember when every thing was "DA BOMB!" When they made the new lunchables so that you could make pizza AND tacos. ...and even the boys loved steps and spice girls. You remember boom boxes vs. Cd players. Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them. You played and/or collected "Pogs". Collecting stickers for sticker books. You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere. Furbies. You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the Internet. And Windows 95 was the best. You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles. Michael Jordan was a king. When wrestling was good. WWF! YIKES pencils and erasers were the stuff! You remember when the new Beanie Babies and Talking Elmo were always sold out. You collected those Beanie Babies. Carebears. Gap was the coolest stuff invented. The old, old £20. Oasis was the 'new' thing. You collected all the Troll dolls. You know what an original Walkman is. You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch. You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" You know the Macarena by heart. "Talk to the hand" . . . Enough said You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!" You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace. You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground. Before the MySpace frenzy . . . Before the Internet & text messaging . . . Before creatives & iPods . . . Before emos and chavs. . . Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . . . Before Spongebob . . . When light up trainers were cool. When everyone wore visors. When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs. Caller ID was a new thing. When everyone had at least one of those little gooey aliens in a pod. When no-one knew how to get them 'pregnant'. When we recorded stuff on VCRs. When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkman. When checking out drawing books and that one book about the rainbow fish from the library was THE cool thing to do. You had slap bracelets! Way back. Before we realised all this would eventually disappear. Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!! I felt like an old man after reading that. And I reckon many of you here will as well. I'm going to be 18 in a few weeks, and I remember the 90's as if it was only yesterday. And I've only just realised that we're now in the late 2000's. Time's flying too fast for me.

motion Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Anyone used to watch Gladiators?? Actually forget what I said about Knightmare... THAT was the best show on TV. Only in it's earlier years though. After a while they just kept introducing new gladiators and it became silly. I had a huge crush on Jet. But then I was like 10. Actually, didn't EVERYONE fancy Jet?? Cobra used to be my favourite cause he was cool man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaggis Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Dude you would of been like a toddler during most of the 90's. The naughties is more your period. Your point is? I was up to 9 years old in the 90's, so I can remember quite a bit. If I can remember alot of these things then why can't I say I enjoyed what I remember of the 90's? Anyone used to watch Gladiators?? Actually forget what I said about Knightmare... THAT was the best show on TV. That show was awesome! So many saturday nights when I was a little kid were spent watching that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Jesus Christ, you think that makes you feel old - wait until you start seeing people writing lists of "back in the day" of 2000-2010 when they were kids and talking about how old it makes them feel. I was 9 when the Simpsons started and only rich kids with Squarials got to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
