Anybody under the age of 13 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 remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain , and Two Stupid Dogs.
AAAAAAAH real monsters.
You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!
You just cant resist finishing this... "Iiiiiiin west philladelphia born and raised..."
You remember TGIF on ABC. Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World.
You remember when, 2Pac and Selena died.
You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.
You remember reading "Goosebumps"
You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.
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...
You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record "Your FAVORITE song of ALL time"
Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.
Captain Planet. He's a Hero.
You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together.
You remember when super nintendo's and Sega Genisis became popular.
You always wanted to send in a tape to America'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 School Bus, Wishbone, and Reading Rainbow on PBS.
You remember when Yomega Yo-Yos were cool.
You remember those Where's Waldo books..
You remember when Mortal Kombat Was "Da Bomb"!
U remember eating Warheads.(those sour candys)
You remember watching the 1st Batman, Aladin, Ninja Turtles, and 3 Ninjas movies.
U remember Ring Pops.
U remember drinkin' Fruitopia and Surge.
if you memeber when every thing was "da BOMB"
when they made the new lunchables so that you could make tacos and pizza!!
You remember boom boxes vs. cd players
Writing M.A.S.H. notes. (and the twenty different versions of that)
Making those little paper fortune cookie things.. and then predicting your life with them.
You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"
You played and/or collected "Pogs"
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.
You had a favorite New Kid on the block, and you knew all of their names
Michael Jordan was a king.
Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!
All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.(pencils.notebooks.binders.etc.)
You remember when the new Beanie Babies and talking Elmo were always sold out.
You collected those Beanie Babies.
Growing Pains.
Carebears and The Gummy Bear show.
Gak was the coolest thing invented.
Lambchop's song never ended.
The old dollar bills.
Silver dollars, were cool that have.
You remember a time before the WB.
You collected all the Troll dolls
You owned a portable tape player.
If you even 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 know the significance of the number 23.
You went to McD's to play in the playplace.
You remember playing on merry go rounds...at the play ground.
When we were younger:
Before the MySpace frenzy...
Before the Internet & text messaging...
Before Sidekicks & iPods...
Before MIKE JONES...
Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX...
Before Sponge Bob
...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 .
When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.
When 2Pac and Biggie where alive.
When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.
Way back.
when it was all about N64.
WHEN YOU TRADED POKEMON CARDS FOR A LIVING
Before we realized all this would eventually disappear
Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!
Post this in your bulletin if you remember these days ....
If you grew up in the 90's you've gotta read this!!!

dude, to tell you guys the truth, i almost cried reading this, i mean, to think of all of those little things in life i always took for granted.... i mean, my little pet thingys always died, i always left my pokemon card out in the rain, was always letting ppls barow my 64 games to never get them back, i never realy thought those days would end, like when my grandpa would take me and my brother and sisters, and ocasionaly, my little cusians to Mc donalds, just for a happy meal, and to play in the play area, every single saturday that i stayed at my moms house we would go, all the way up until the managers started getting mad at me for being to big, and shortly after i became to big, my grandpa passed on, is was like he only lived to take me and my brother and sister to Mikky D's

90's was when you could go out any play all your make believe games, play with toys etc, and people woyuldn't judge you. You were safe outside from like 9 -9 on weekends, with everyone. Now, all the toys are fuckin psp's etc, electronic shit. I remembered when YOU made the fun.

I loved the growing up in the 90's!! I miss those awesome cartoons Ahhh real monsters was the shit. I also liked Rocko's Modern life and that game show What would you do with the guy from Double dare as the host. And every Saturday night I would watch Nickoloden and my faviorte show Are you Afraid of the dark was the last show to come on. Those were the days. Wake up early saturday morning get a bowl of ceral and watch cartoons and then go outside and jump on the trampoline and listen to my walkman. I remeber going over to my friends house and playing sega and pogs. I even won the Dare essay contest in 5th grade still got the little bear they gave you as a prize some where in a box. I also had a nano baby and I always let it die. I think Im going to look on ebay for one now. :D

damn... i wasnt expecting so many replys... but damn, i guess we had lots of fun in those days, and reber being able to play in the street with out having to jump out of the road as a car almost hits you? damn, how about when we were kids, did anyone ever have bike races around the block, i rember, and i still rember every technice i used to beat the kids who were older, and biger, and had 21 speed mountian biikes, i reber i used to kick there asses just by using the inside corners, and cutting them off. and swerving around infront of them, and then there was also my favorite trick that always worked, and that was have your little sister stand by the finsh line, and wait for the other guy to come around and have her hold the broom stick, and then she would run out and jam the broom stick in the other guys tires, and he would run home crying while i won the race, and every one cheared for me...
ohh, also who rembers building forts in the woods when we were kids, im sure almost every one can relate to that one, no matter when you were borns from the 60s to the 90s.

OMG THOSE WERE THE FUCKING DAYS... you can only say your mother fucking name so many times before it just gets downright annoying.

but i never knew how many ppls i could remind of there child hoods... and it feals realy great just to rember the good old simple days when bed time was when we got tired from watching cartoons and crashed out on the couch and our parents would cary us to bed, and it didnt matter what time we woke up, and any one rember playing baseball with all of the kids in the nebhorhood, no matter what race they were, i mean, we could have been playing with a iraqie, and not have a care in the world, and the guy that drove around in the white van with painted windows never tried to rape you? and he didnt give you druged candy... my uncle drove a white van and gave me candy all the time(dont know if you guys had anyone around like that, but i did)

Looking back on it, I would be very concerned for the little boy, but at the time I thought it was all in great fun.
And for those of us not in the city...
Anyone remember waking up late, running to the tv, and watching sesame streat, before going on a walk with mom once you've eaten breakfast?

HaHa, and to think, now you are a stoner!
I was born in 1992 (which makes me 14 now), so I don't remember the early 90's, but I remember most of the things on that list...
My parents thaught that video games were spawns of satan or something like that... so all I had was an NES, or SNES, I don't remeber which one, and then later on i got an N64, and a Gameboy Color. I had a furbie and it would make noises all night and keep us up, so my dad ended up removing the batteries from it.
I remeber my mom taping the saturday morning shows for me because I never could wake up in time. I think magic schoolbus was my favorite.
Well.. I guess the 90's were OK, but I'm glad they have passed...
And what is that about white dog turds? wtf???

Good times....Good times....

Haha I remember Kenan and Kell, All That, Clarissa Explains it all, SNICK, airwalks, street hockey, recess that lasted what seemed hours, exploring the woods, playing on the swingset in my backyard and seeing who could jump the farthest, Happy Days, Figure it Out, Nerf, and so much more.

What an awesome thread! I was born in the early 80's and grew up in the 90's. In the 90's was the first time I got drunk, smoked weed, lost my virginity. I listened to grunge music like Nirvana, Peal Jam, Mudhoney, Tad, Alice in Chains, and in the 90's was the first time I heard Pantera, which turned me in a whole different direction of music.
I remeber watching Alf, Growing Pains, Cosby Show, Astro Boy, Inspector gadget, and of course the Simpsons, when they were at their prime, and when Bart Simpson said Hell or Eat My Shorts on TV, it was considered a bad influence on kids. When the word Motherfucker was said at least 30 times in a Snoop Dogg song. Rapping out 40's, Endo, and smacking hoes around. :p
Computers and technology changed so much since the 80's, and in the 90's, it was like a Technology Revolution or something.
I loved the 90's, espeically losing my virginity to my first, junior high GF. She was damn hot! And we fucked like rabbits. It was awesome. :p
Invisable Cola was discovered, and Jolt soda drinks that would get me so wound up. Candy nerds, blue whales, gobstoppers, and pixi sticks.

I also remeber Pogs. I remeber this one kid in the entire school borught some one day, and the next day, everyone had them. I still have a Poison Slammer and Pogs in a box. :p
I remember El Nino happened. We had harsh winters, I mean, like 5-8 ft of snow on our lawn and backyard alone, but ever since El Nino happened, the winters have been getting shorter and milder.
I remeber that harsh ice storm they had in Ontario. Power was out for weeks and the entire province was a sheet of ice. The trees, cars, roads, buildings, everything was ice. It was fucked.

On snow days when you would wake up and turned on the news to see if school was cancelled, and if it was, all the kids in the neighborhood would go sledding or make forts in the snow piles the plows would make.

i was unfortunate =/ i've lived my entire life in texas, i never really saw snow til like last year, and then it was like at most a 1/2 inch, but it was enough for me and my bro to make snowballs, that's probably the best nostalgic (sp?) memory of the 00's for me... but this is about the 90's! i remember when riding your bikes in pouring rain and getting your back as wet as possible (you know how the rear tire always flung water up when you'd go through a puddle at high speed) didn't make you look like an idiot... i remember when the neighbor hoods were safe to play in all night... i remember when shootings were rare, and big news (i doubt that would go for every area tho) i remember the adventures me and friends would go on, just to see what was on the other side of the city... hell i remember it all and miss it dearly.
i stilll have a tube (that's what the people who had alot of pogs kept them in) of pogs somewhere in the attic with those fat ass slammers that are clear if you look through them sideways but if you look down there's an image.... ahh man i have a heavy heart now, i miss my childhood so dearly, but for some reason the only thing you can think about as a kid is getting older, then when you're older all you can think of is being younger and having happier times.
i even remember how i lost fate in santa clause.... i found a die cast rig under my grandparents bed, then a week later i mysteriously get the same thing from santa clause and the one under the bed is gone... i was always a smart kid... i was only 6 or 7...
anybody else feeling that warmth inside of you after reading this thread and getting those chills...? i remember spoons.... where you'd take those slightly bendable cafateria spoons, bend them at the end you hold and take turns trying to break the other persons actual spoon part... i was always a damn champion, the trick was to aim about a half inch up from the tip of the spoon and pull back as fast as possible, til your spoon almost bends and becomes unusable and letting it go, all within a second.... i won alot of pizza doing that..
i remember when school was actually fun to go to, because it wasn't all just work, there was recess and plenty to do... and the weekly trips to the library, i'd always get an oragami book... and when that all that mattered about your school work was you tried hard, succeed or fail, and there was no worry about money, ever....
i wonder if anyone's actually shed a tear after reading this thread...

hell yea, i shed a few tears after this... my buddy billy sent it so me, we we just had fun, sending messages back and forth, rembering the good old days... heres another thing i just remberd... whne you would walk around, and find all of the pennys you could find, and go into the store with your pockets buldging with pennys mostly, and buying like 3 dollars worth of things, and then end up with a long ass like of people behind you while u were trying to count out your pennys, and then some one saying fuck and handing you a 5 dollar bill just to get you out of the way, if i would have kept all of the change from all of the 5 dollar bills people had ever gave me, i would be rich right now
slipknotpsycho
10-24-2006, 10:41 PM

Its amazing how much has changed within the past 16 years. I almost feel like an old person whos like "back in my day we had 8-tracks!" only it'd be more like "yeah I used to have a walkman" cause no one uses tapes anymore.
I miss old simpsons...Used to watch it every day about at 6pm when we had dinner. Hey...but what about Rocko's Modern World!? I remember that show in addition to Ahhh real monsters, Doug, Ren and Stimpy, etc.

i agree with you on this whole post... i was born in 90, and i had one of the original cd players, that if you breathed in any way or form while the head phones were on your ears, and the tape player was in the other room, it would skip... billions and billions of tapes, espcialy when they first came out with cd players/disk men....
on another note... i feal as tho i have cotributed something good to these forms... and i actualy agree with this being a sticky... and it would be kool if some one could find theses for the older guys around....

Born in 87'. Great thread to reminisce about our childhoods. I can't believe you mentioned Oregon Trails, I would always finish my computer work in class quickly to get to play this game. The nineties were much more simpler than now, not to mention that there wasn't so much stupid shit going around in the media than nowadays.

dude, to tell you guys the truth, i almost cried reading this, i mean, to think of all of those little things in life i always took for granted.... i mean, my little pet thingys always died, i always left my pokemon card out in the rain, was always letting ppls barow my 64 games to never get them back, i never realy thought those days would end, like when my grandpa would take me and my brother and sisters, and ocasionaly, my little cusians to Mc donalds, just for a happy meal, and to play in the play area, every single saturday that i stayed at my moms house we would go, all the way up until the managers started getting mad at me for being to big, and shortly after i became to big, my grandpa passed on, is was like he only lived to take me and my brother and sister to Mikky D's
I feel the same man....wow. That was just nuts.

Another thought came to mind as I was watching a very educational show about sluts called Jerry Springer. :D
They had a commercial come on about, "are you still stuck with mediocre cable..." And I thought, damn, when I was younger in the early 90's, cable was a luxery, but now it's considered a common thing.
How the world has changed.

Bret Hart was always my favorite lol. Damn, me and my friends would always wrestle, copying the moves and shit...pretty dangerous lol.

also tagging was the shit
the richard bey show was the first crazy one like jerry springer
FINALLY!! someone else that remembers richard bey!!! :D i thought i was the only one...
i remember they made some fat bitch roll around in a kiddie pool filled with goopy food items .... and somehow this was all to prove she liked some dude.... :confused:

Haha, me and one of my buddies used to be into graffiti. We would tag this one bridge near where we lived, my handle was "Ice" and his was like "Leeroy" with his house number after it. We were young though, so a few tags at a bridge was the most we ever did.
Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR HER SINCE 1993.
If anyone has seen her, you let me know.

You remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain , and Two Stupid Dogs.
I LOVED pinky and the brain! Animaniacs too!
You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!
I always found it kinda dumb, but to each his own.
You just cant resist finishing this... "Iiiiiiin west philladelphia born and raised..."
...on the playground where I spend most of my days. Chilin out, maxin, relaxin all cool....
You remember TGIF on ABC. Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World.
Dinosaurs is the only one I watched. I can't believe they ended a kids show with the apocalypse, but that's still awsome.
You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
Do I ever. I also remember how saddening it was when they all started getting replaced by sitcom's. Then it was all taken over by Japanimation. I saddens me to see the cartoons kids watch these days :( .
You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.
huh?
You remember reading "Goosebumps"
I remember those, read a few. Honestly the more I read the weaker the writing seemed. I mean lets face it, R.L. Stein is NOT A GOOD WRITER.
there..... I said it.
You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.
Not personally, but I remember other kids doing it.
You remember the craze, then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books.
Actually they never banned them here. Boo ya!
You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...
Only Wayne's World could pull that off. Man I loved those movies, they should have made a trillogy.
You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record "Your FAVORITE song of ALL time"
I firmly hold to my hatred of radio to this day. damn mainstream lame-ass media-brainwashing talentless forumlated drek....
Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.
It was decent.
Captain Planet. He's a Hero.
I remember captain planet. It always seemed odd to me that when they called out their power names the earth guy just sounded like he was saying "uh!"
You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together.
bah, I thought power rangers was lame even back then, no effort into special effects and they changed the theme every season after a while. besides, they killed a villian (who was a pig) by feeding him to death!
You remember when super nintendo's and Sega Genisis became popular.
I was a super-nintendo kid myself. God I miss it, I never actually got one sadly, but I loved playing it with my friends. I guess N64 was my biggest gaming moment (which I got in 1996).
You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos... but never taped anything funny.
America's funniest home videos pissed me off. EVERY damn winner was some stupid baby video that wasn't even funny, but got all the votes just because it had a damn baby.
You remember watching home alone 1, 2 , and 3........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"
I only liked #1 and 2.
You remember watching The Magic School Bus, Wishbone, and Reading Rainbow on PBS.
I remember my brother watching magic school bus and wishbone, didn't watch them much myself.
You remember when Yomega Yo-Yos were cool.
Remember!? I played for hours with those things!
You remember those Where's Waldo books..
Loved those books.
You remember when Mortal Kombat Was "Da Bomb"!
I was more of a mario kid really.
U remember eating Warheads.(those sour candys)
vaguely....
You remember watching the 1st Batman, Aladin, Ninja Turtles, and 3 Ninjas movies.
3 ninja's was one of my favorites when I was about 5 or so. I think Batman 1 was from the late 80's, but I remember it well. Batman 2 was the most memorable for me though.
U remember Ring Pops.
yeah, but I loved runts. I remember when they didnt' change runts into the crap they are today :( .
if you remember when every thing was "da BOMB"
I first heard it from Waynehead actually.
when they made the new lunchables so that you could make tacos and pizza!!
If you could call them tacos and pizza.
You remember boom boxes vs. cd players
lol, yeah I actually remember when I was about 4 years old and saw a big fat guy wearing gold chains and carrying a big-ass boom box on his shoulder. I thought it was totally cool.
Writing M.A.S.H. notes. (and the twenty different versions of that)
Kids were into M.A.S.H.? Or am I missing something?
Making those little paper fortune cookie things.. and then predicting your life with them.
In my school all the girls did that, all the boys were into Chinese firecrackers. I actually got a huge piece of paper and made one so huge I had to jump off a table to make it open. Made a hell of a deep bang though.
You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"
Meh. I was into Seinfeld and Fresh Prince.
You played and/or collected "Pogs"
Ah pogs, I remember the craze that swept my school. The ones we'd collect, the slammers we'd all compare and try to outdo each other with.
You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere
I hated those damn things. Don't ask me why, Tamagotchi and I just have a rough history.
You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.
I remember how Wolfeinstein 3d was the coolest game ever. And the end where you'd kill that guy with the two chainguns on his arms. Then it went to Doom and DukeNukem3d. DukeNuken3d was my true love.
And Windows 95 was the best.
And how cool it was that I had a CD ROM!
You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers,and Ninja Turtles.
Ninja turtles were my thing. I had all the toys and dressed as Leonardo for Halloween:D
You had a favorite New Kid on the block, and you knew all of their names
Meh...
Michael Jordan was a king.
He was the biggest name out there. lol, I remember when I was about 3 or 4 years old and I only saw black guys playing basketball on T.V., so I insisted to my friends it was a rule in basketball that you had to be black to play. It didn't help when I heard the term "white boys can't jump".
You remember when the new Beanie Babies and talking Elmo were always sold out.
Thankfully I never gave into hypes 99% of the time (just pogs).
You collected those Beanie Babies.
As I said, I saw hypes for what they were... hypes.
Carebears and The Gummy Bear show.
Vaguely..... I was about 3-4 when I saw that.
Gak was the coolest thing invented.
It really was...
Lambchop's song never ended.
I think our Busdriver wanted to kill us...
The old dollar bills.
I remember when I could get a $2 bill. Then the Toonies came out and everybody wanted to get one. now I wish I saved a $2 bill.
You remember a time before the WB.
um..... before the 60's?:confused:
You owned a portable tape player.
Also known as a walkman (you're talking about walkman's right?). I remember when the Diskman came out and it was the height of technological innovation.
If you even know what an original walkman is.
There we are.
You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.
lol, I must have been the only kid who found Nickelodeon annoying.
You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"
Haha, oh man I loved that show. Can't say it scared me (that I can remember), but I loved it.
"Talk to the hand" ... enough said
wasn't big in my area.
You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"
No, but lots of kids said it to me and each other. I was a bit too logical for my own good.
You know the significance of the number 23.
Jumpstreet?
You went to McD's to play in the playplace.
I would hold my breath before entering the tubes, then pretend it was full of water and I had to get through it. The bubble'd areas were air pockets.
You remember playing on merry go rounds...at the play ground.
yeah, we would spin it as hard as we could and try to hold on. I remember when playgrounds were actually fun, then everybody got so sue-crazy and it all turned to lame plastic 2 feet off the ground :( .
Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX...
N64 was AWSOME! :) Goldeneye was one of the best times of my life, along with Shadows of the Empire and Mario 64.
When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
Some of the best times right there. Me and my best friend did that so much for so many years that we would just walk up to the counter and the clerk already had our name and phone number punched in.
When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.
We measure by the liter here in Canada, but that's still damn cheap! I remember when it was in the 40's.
When we recorded stuff on VCRs .
X-files, The simpsons, all that good stuff.
when it was all about N64.
Your damn right:cool:
WHEN YOU TRADED POKEMON CARDS FOR A LIVING
Pokemon was a damn stupid hype that's probably responsible for turning all our cartoons into Japanimation today. I stand firm on this.
Before we realized all this would eventually disappear
All's impermanent. I'm sure we'll one day say "remember back in the turn of the century...."

Kids were into M.A.S.H.? Or am I missing something?
not mash the movie/tv show....it was where you wrote mash at the top of a piece of paper....(mansion apartment shack house) and wrote 3 ppl you had a crush on, 3 vehicles, 3 jobs, 3 numbers (for amount of children) etc etc...then you drew a spiral, and counted the number of lines you went around...and then you went thru the whole paper counting that number and when you got to the last one, you marked it out...till only 1 choice outta each section was left....(example: you live in a mansion, married to "so and so", have 5 kids, drive a VW beetle, and work as a burger flipper at mcdonalds)
thats what M.A.S.H. kids were into...although i was one of the weird kids...i played the game on paper, but also liked the old tv show :confused:

There is still plenty more to remember about the 90's. I get nostalgic and sentimental recalling all of these memories from that time. I'm 25 now but think when were all in our 60's&70's, how many era's we will have to reminise about then. Lifes memories are priceless

That list makes me feel both happy of the memories, but also really sad that they are only memories and not yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

ohh damn, i rember i beat D.K. 64 one time, but right as he was doing a dance or something, some one jumped off the bed, and kicked the 64, and the 64 froze up, so i picked the fucking game out of the N-64 in about 50 different chunks(in other words, i smashed the game while it was sitting in the 64)

YA, me too man. So much good times, no shit happening, or fucking high school and all that drama. The good ol' days of light up sneakers and nintendo with donkey kong and mario and zelda then with N64 and zelda......and watching power rangers, and Doug and rug rats. Man, life was good then, I wish life was like that now, why does growing up have to be so bad?
Some things are good, but theres too much bad shit happening and sadness and anger for no damn reason.
That's it, im off.....later guys......im going back to the 90's.......hop on the time traveling band wagon.....3....2...1......BLAST OFF.

You're a 90's kid if:
You remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain , and Two Stupid Dogs. I was always into the 80's cartoons like G.I. Joe's, Transformers, He-Man, David The Gnome. However Ren and Stimpy and all of the Animaniac's cartoons were funny
You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE! My friend and I were debating this in the gym the other day, was it surf ninjas or 3 ninjas this quote came form?
You just cant resist finishing this... "Iiiiiiin west philladelphia born and raised..." on a playground is where I spent most of my days
You remember when, 2Pac and Selena died. What about Biggie and Kurt C., and Bill Clintons blowjob?
You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons. How come every cartoon now sucks ass? They are all like computer generated and shitty, scooby doo still rules
You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school. God dammit, alice just got snake bitten and our axle broke and we lost two slabs of salted beef
You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record "Your FAVORITE song of ALL time" Walking on the Sun - Smash mouth
Captain Planet. He's a Hero. I still think the heart kid is gay
You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together. never got into power rangers, biker mice from mars however....
You remember when super nintendo's and Sega Genisis became popular. duck hun for original nintendo was my favorite until these came out, then it was mortal kombat and still is along with madden
You remember watching The Magic School Bus, Wishbone, and Reading Rainbow on PBS. Reading Rainbow was my shit
You remember when Mortal Kombat Was "Da Bomb"! It still is!
You remember watching the 1st Batman, Aladin, Ninja Turtles, and 3 Ninjas movies. Go Ninja Go Ninja Go
You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.
And Windows 95 was the best. I still remember the ad campaign with the Rolling Stone's Start Me Up, fuckin' Microsoft ruined that song for me, every time I hear it it makes me think of windows operating system just like Mighty Ducks ruined Queen
You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch. I always wanted to slime somebody
The 90's were sweet. Anyone remember the neon color craze in the late 80's early 90's where you'd have like clear neon green visors and bright orange pants. That shit was so gay...
