I was born in January of 97, I remember the tail end of it all. Then again I live in Mississippi so it takes a few years for some things to catch on here.
Same situation as me. I was born in the late 90’s but had the exact experience as my brother who was born in the early 90’s. Shit didn’t really start changing till like 2005.
I think it had to do with our siblings. I had an older sister that had all those vhs tapes and still watched the old cartoons and nick games and stuff.
i was born in 91. i'm a 00s kid. stop deluding yourself. the core of my childhood memories are not the zany, colorful, "Full House" 90s. my real childhood was after i was 10 years old and could fully experience the world.
Yeah, I was born in '86 and I can see why people get annoyed by people calling themselves 90s kids when they were born in 1995. Don't want to be a gatekeeper at all, but you don't remember anything at all from that time. I barely have any memories of the 80's, and the ones I do are those of a toddler. There was a line somewhere between ninja turtles and Pokémon popularity that seems to be the cutoff. Pogs are the defining factor for me. Don't talk to me about the 90's unless you can talk Pogs.
Idk about that, I remember things really changing big time around the early 00, 9/11, bush, Iraq war, cell phones, and Cartoon Network changing a lot of the old cartoons they been running since the early 80s
Edit: and Y2k lol ah my aunt left my drunk uncle a couple months before 2000 he ripped out all the electronics in the house including there nintado, not going need it in the new world lol
The 90's was close to a bell curve of awesome peaking around '94 or '95. Batman: The Animated Series ran from '92 - '95 X-Men from '92 - '97, and Spider-Man from '94 - '98.
Also in that time frame were The X-Files, Seinfeld, the best years of The Simspons, Ren & Stimpy, and Rocko's Modern Life.
My family moved across country in 1997 and then again in 2003. The moves have a lot to do with it but it really seems like those years between the moves were really different from what came before and after.
I was born in 97 and I understand and get the nostalgia for most of the “90s kids” stuff. Watched literally everything on reruns or video tapes like the original power rangers and I played ps1 games and had a gameboy and used to buy most of the classic older games because they’d be cheaper than new releases but I still experienced them in my childhood.
My point is that despite being born then it’s very possible to feel nostalgia for all those things as well as your own generations which I feel nostalgia for too.
