WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD MISS THE 90"s SO MUCH??
If you remember these days, remind everyone how it used to be!
 
They really don't, my little Sister is 5 and she is more interested in watching TV and playing kids games online then playing with toys or being outside. When I have kids, TV and computer is going to off most of the time and I'll kick them outside to play :p
 
Man, back in the good ol' days...

I agree, kids today don't even know how to play and don't have any sort of imagination. Rather sad when you think about it.
 
I still play pokemon... haha brings back so many memories. Just annoying there are over 600 now to catch!


Speaking of 90's, I found a picture of me sitting proudly surrounded by about 200 beanie babies and wow how ridiculous I look, haha.
 
This whole thing is sooo me, and I was born in 1993. So glad to be a 90's kid.

Man, I am only 18 and I always wish for my childhood back. I still sleep with my Lion King blanket, pillow, and stuffed animal. I wanna go back so bad :C

Ha! Me too! I'm 20 now and I still have my DS and I play the games. Oh pokemon. Even though we have like 6434624624 pokemon now, I always have a goal of getting a Pichu. Always was and will be my favorite pokemon. Haha.
 
Well, I just couldn't resist this. Having grown up in the late 50s-early 60s, I just had to compare some of the "Remember When's" to my generation's "Remember When's" :biggrin2:

I was born in the mid 80's, and I definitely agree with (most) of this. hehe.

Did anyone else think that the light up shoes made you run faster? I sure did.
 
Am I the only one who likes nerd glasses? I have a real pair of them, believe it or not. I wasn't around till 1998, so I don't know anything.:biggrin:
 
Ok, well I'm an early 80"s kid (born in the early 70's)

Live Aid - I recorded for 12 hours straight on a VCR editing out all the commercials!
British new wave - I still adore Duran Duran
Teasing up my bangs until I was almost 6' tall (I'm only 5'6")
Stirrup pants, leg warmers, stretch jeans, slouch socks, spiral perms, blue and purple eye shadow
Remembering where you were when Lennon and Reagan were shot
MTV when they played videos, remember the Bugles?
Penny candy!!
Gas being 70 cents a gallon
The gas shortage! Sitting in long lines to get gas
Fringed shirts at the beach, with decals
Atari, Colecovision, early Nintendo
That huge remote controlled box that was wired to the TV, dials on the TV, the star spangled banner at midnight after which the TV went off
Adjusting an antennae for better reception
Civil defense drills in school
Seeing Star Wars in the theater, drive-ins

Ha! So funny! :biggrin2:
 
April, do you remember hyper color shirts and rolling you jeans? I was birn in the early 80s but had 3 older cousins that dressed me up like them. Lol
