Looking back the 90s were a more frustrating version of the 00s. You had all this cool stuff you could do online but it took forever and was unreliable. The cool part was there was a lot less infrastructure online so you could easily get a following/establish some sort of business online. Now there are all types of companies that do just about everything you can imagine and are big barriers to entry for the little guy

Weren't you born in like...94?

I think later than that. (He's 16? So, about 1996?) He's not an 90's kid.

90's kids stopped at 1990, if not slightly before, quite frankly. If you weren't born around 1983-1987 then you didn't really experience the 90's as a kid for the most part. I think that goes for most XX's kids.

People were more reliant on themselves before they were raised by computers.
The kiddies on this forum are a prime example.

I loved the 90's. we had electronics, but not to the extent that your childhood was always burried in a screen. Cartoons were still animated via ink. That video was right, we did have Green Day and they didn't wear mascara. The world was obviously changing and the digital revolution was taking shape not just for big companies, but now in people's homes but it was still so fresh and new that we didn't know where it was going.

I'm sure I'm just looking back at it through ruby glasses, but it was a pretty good decade to grow up!

Umm, actually a lot of 90's cartoons were done on computer. Simpsons pioneered Photoshop use outside of big motion pictures.

I'd say late 80's are a pretty good cutoff. I was born in 88 and remember all the fairly characteristic 90's stuff and the birth of the personal computer. My highschool still had apple classics and I had a IIA with the 5.25" floppy when I was about 8 or so.

Sucks to be you.
I learned on an Apple II gs in 1986. By the 90's we had already moved to color macs.

After school we'd play pickup football or baseball (one kid's dad had a field of dreams thing going on) or basketball until it got dark then a console for hours. That was so much fun I sort of feel sorry for the kids now who can't throw or catch a ball without using a touchscreen.

I was born in 81 and feel like a 90's kid. The 80's were kinda a blur since i was so young then. The 90's I was really aware of what was happening so I feel like that was really the years I grew up.

Fuck 81 sounds like so long ago.

Agreed. We would ride our bikes to school, after school go play basketball behind the school until it starts getting dark, still play video games but we knew how to have fun outside as well.

Started sucking and being emo in the 00's, or maybe that's just how I'm remembering it. Everyone probably remembers when they grew up with nostalgia, but what are my kids who are growing up now going to be nostalgic about?

They'll be saying, "Remember when the iPhone only had a 3.5" screen? "
