I can't imagine life without having witenessed:
- the smell of camera film
- the Dial-up tone
- Static on a TV
I think our generation lies in the sweet spot between technical ability and modern tech-neutering
Rediscovered 90s music a couple months ago. 90s alt rock is amazing.

oh god I've still got my old one bundled up in the corner of my room
looney tunes and tom and jerry, best cartoons
I want to make sure my kids watch boomerang all the time. I'll block Cartoon Network and Disney Channel and make boomerang their primary TV channel along with PBS.

Biggest nostalgia in my life.
I feel bad for kids born after the 90's
Oh boy, a nostalgia thread. Time to dump all my memories here.

I used to have all the Gargoyles toys. Brooklyn had a badass dragon-looking motor bike.

SPIKE, MOTHERFUCKERS
It's funny because people born in the early-mid 90's overlap into both generation Y and Z.
So all those kids today who you look down on can be considered to be part of our generation.

When I was little, like 5-6 that scared the shit out of me, but now I love it.
If you haven't nostalgia'd yet, and you where born in the early nineties, I can honestly say you have no childhood.

The best thing about that movie is how it started out cute and then it turned into a horror movie.
my sister had one of these, that made some tasty cakes

Oh man, I used to watch that all the time. I think I even broke the VHS tape because I watched it so much as a kid.
More nostalgia for you:

I fucking loved Little Nemo.
I remember there were also a few shows my twin sister would watch all the time as a kid. One of them specifically being...

She still has all the dolls she collected as a kid in her room.
[QUOTE=Mac2468;31552715]I find it amusing that people born in the mid to late 90's call themselves "90's kids."[/QUOTE]
Being born in '96, all I know of the 90s was shared by my older sister. :frown:
Well, I guess that's a good thing, kind of. Thanks to her, Gold is still to this day my favorite Pokémon game.
After reading this thread, I feel depressed as to how shitty life is these days.

Don't we all. I was at a store, when I saw two kids checking out some Pokémon cards. They didn't even recognize Mewtwo. [img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-smith.gif[/img]
You people are all acting like the world is taking a significant downturn.
It isn't.
Children are getting higher standardized test scores, life expectancy is rising, we have wonderful and pervasive technology.
You can miss watching your favorite TV shows, or think they're better (by your own standards), but don't act as if this generation is doomed because they don't have SWAT Kats.

I can definitely tell you that my school hasn't made higher test scores for a long time. Last year we barely inched past the passing mark.
[QUOTE=TR0U5ERS;31557665]I can't imagine how children born in the 21st century will grow up.
In my experiances working at a Target register, i get to see the daily lives of such children, it's terrifying.
it's an common sight to see a toddler, barely old enough to walk - being given an Ipad to shut him up in the cradle, or a group of smaller kids walking around, oblivious to what is occurring outside them, their eyes plugged into a Itouch / DS, they are so out of it that their parents have to resort to gently nudging them along with those monkey-backpack leashes. I commonly assume that these Idevices are simply borrowed from the parents - until the parent produces their own Idevice while paying for yet another digitised toy.
These kids are being raised by computers, i'm no luddite, i appreciate technolodgy, but when parents rely on it to raise their kids, what you end up with is a generation of the socially inept. These kids are raised on games with only one objective that relies on manipulating the controls/environment.
A video game would rarely have lasting repercussions for failure, you'd die, or let the candy fall from the edge of the map, no biggie, you start again, is this really something to be teaching kids from day 1?
A kid playing in a sandpit as opposed to a DS would be more creative, he'd be exposed to many new things of all the senses, it'd encourage creativity - yet the child knows perfectly well what happens when you fail, there also exists the interaction with other children - developing social skills - including dealing with the feelings of others, something a shut-in child would never experience on a leap-frog.[/QUOTE]
There's also the kindergarten kids with cell phones. And not just simple flip phones, Iphones and Blackberries. I'm 17 and only have a flip phone for fucks sake.

Still have them. :smile:
Along with a lot of my other n64 games.
The 80's were better.

90s had better video games and cartoons.
