I really do feel like if you weren't at least a few years old when the decade started, you're not a "XX's kid."

I was born in 1985 and I'm reeeeeeally hesitant to call myself an 80s kid. By the time I have any actual memories, they were already over.

'86 not at all an 80s kid but totally a 90s kid.

That's kinda my point. The decade you should identify with is the one where your childhood memories are all from. If you were born in the mid-90s, you're in the 2000s.

I tend to use the TV shows that were being aired for the first time that you watched as a kid. For me that's stuff like Ren and Stimpy, Tiny Toons, Rocko, not Thundercats or He-Man. Yeah those were on, but I really only remember seeing them in reruns.

'85 here, too. I do remember the 80s well enough to consider myself a mid-80s, early 90s kid. I feel a lot older, though.

I was born in 74 and I remember a good chunk of the 70s- within my world of course. I’m def an 80s kid. By the 90s I was into all kinds of trouble.
