July 10, 200818 yr You're a 90's kid if: You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House" You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons. You remember reading "Goosebumps" You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, wax off" You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school. HELLO....HOT WHEELS!!!!! http://www.clutterme.com/cars You remember the craze, then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books. You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not... Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show. You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together. You remember when super nintendos became popular. You remember watching home alone 1, 2 , and 3........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders" "I've fallen and I can't get up" You remember boom boxes vs. cd players You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell" http://www.clutterme.com/sbtb You played and/or collected "Pogs" You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles NANCY DREW AND THE HARDY BOYS WERE THE BEST MYSTERY BOOKS Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff! All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.(pencils.notebooks.binders.etc.) You made paper scrunchies to see who you'd end up marrying You remember when the new Beanie Babies were always sold out. You used to wear those stick on earrings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes. 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 thought Brain would finally take over the world You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!" You remember when everyone went slinky crazy. You remember when razor scooters were cool. When we were younger: Before the MySpace frenzy... Before the Internet & text messaging... Before Sidekicks & iPods... Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX... ...Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night. When light up sneakers were cool. When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs. When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing. When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie. When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans. When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever. Tag. Get Over Here!!!! means something to you. Hide-n-Go Seek at dusk. Red Light, Green Light. Heads Up 7 Up. Playing Kickball & Dodgeball until your porch light came on. Hopskotch. Tree Houses. Hula Hoops. Captain Planet. Running through the sprinklers. That "Little Mermaid" Crying when Mufasa died in the Lion King. Happy Meals where you chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car. Getting the privilege to sit in the front seat of the car. Drinking Sqeeze It "Squeeze The Fun Out Of It" Or what about: Hey Arnold. Rugrats. The Secret World of Alex Mac. Rocco's Modern Life. Are You Afraid of the Dark? Doug. Magic School Bus. Aladdin. http://www.clutterme.com/aladdin Pinky and the Brain Sailor Moon. Blossom. Beavis & Butt-Head Wishbone. Bill Nye the Science Guy Where everyone wanted to be in love after watching The Wonder Years. Under the Umbrella Tree PEE-WEE!!! The Big Comfy Couch Kool-Aid was the drink of choice. Class field trips. When Christmas was the most exciting time of year. When $5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle. When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday. When Toys R Us overuled the mall. Go back to the time when: Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'. Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly.' Being old referred to anyone over 20. A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery. When Ninja Turtles ruled the world. When Aladdin was new, before the trilogy was complete. Before we realized all this would eventually disappear Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!! Man those were the days!
July 10, 200818 yr Well... You just brought back ALOT of memories. I had forgot about some of those things.
July 10, 200818 yr Ah....The memories. Stretch Armstrong Spending $5 in quarters to try and get the "Surge T-Shirt" out of the coke machine. Playing basketball on the goal outside thinking I was the small version of MJ that was on the movie 'Space Jam'. Duck Hunt on regular nintendo.
July 10, 200818 yr Crazy...how so many of those things definitely descirbed me... But I would definitely add something about "Boy Meets World". Definitely one of the best show of the 90's.
July 10, 200818 yr Haha...and when you were allowed to be spanked and couldn't do anything about it, lol...nowadays parents can get sued for that, lol.
July 10, 200818 yr Author Being a horrible, lazy generation. :confused: If you're talking about kids growing up in the 90's I would have to 100% disagree with you...
July 10, 200818 yr :confused: If you're talking about kids growing up in the 90's I would have to 100% disagree with you... I would definitely agree...I believe that is more of the new millenium generation. I really couldn't tell you the difference between Friends or Seinfeld because I played outside after dinner. I really dont' think our generation is lazy what so ever.

People are always going to believe their generation was the best, and you're always going to have haters who see the glass half empty rather than half full. Guys, just overlook posts like that.

No way lazy whatsoever...I remember in the 90's parents encouraged kids going outside to play...Slip & Slides, Cops & Robbers, Tag, hide & seek. Playing wiffle ball, Red Rover...Half of today's kids have no clue what those games are.
July 10, 200818 yr It was a sarcastic comment dating back to the scholarship thread. He taking a shot at us.
