I would guess somebody born in 1996 feels the way somebody born in 1986 feels about the '80s in regards to the '90s: they're old, boring, and irrelevant. Either that, or sort of fascinating in a distant way, like how I felt about the '80s and early '90s when I was say 10, because it was directly prior to my time.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. But I think that since the late 90's are more relevent today than the late 80's were in 1996 that there views may not be exactly the same.

Maybe. Though the Spice Girls, BSB, and Korn really aren't all that relevant today..and there was even some fairly relevant late '80s stuff in 1996 (alt rock, rap, etc.)

Yeah there are no doubt alot of stuff from the late 90's not relevent today but I think overall the late 90's are percived to be less cheesy and boring as the late 80's were 10 years ago.

...sort of fascinating in a distant way, like how I felt about the '80s and early '90s when I was say 10, because it was directly prior to my time.

This is how I always felt about the '70s. Also because I didn't have as much "access" to it - in other words, even at the age of 11 in 1993, I could watch VH1 when they did a Video Rewind Hour of 1982 or something (therefore that always felt like "my" time). That didn't exist for even 1978.

Anyway, I would think if a, say, 1998er were to like the '90s, they would focus more on the 1990-96 part. If you think about, alot of 1999ish stuff is pretty cheesy (i.e. Pokemon, Ricky Martin), so that's probably what they'd think about that. :D But, they'd probably go, Oh, that movie from 1994 is pretty cool - wish I was around for that before that dumb stuff from '99 ruined it.

Just a question, is nostalgia big among your peers? Cos' a 15-year old nostalgic is quite unusual. I've always had a nostalgic streak, but it only picked up when I was 17 or so, with my interest in the 70s.

I think that the ultimate nu metal type was born in 1985 or so, somebody for whom it was popular through high school. For somebody born in 1986-1987 who came of age around 2002-2003, it was probably still pretty popular. I think that my "subgroup" within that absolute peak is the post-nu metal, late 1987-mid 1990 group or so.

Yeah, the high school of late 2003-early 2005 (which is like 2004) is late 1985-mid 1990 and the "Y core" people. The people before that are the Y2K generation (the high school of 1999-2000), which is sort of its own sort of Y. Emo to me is sort of a 1988-1989ish thing, like leaning on the lower end of peak Y.

Alot of people in my class seem to be very nostalgic for the '80s, like they listen to '80s music constantly.

If you could put a percentage on it, how many ppl your age find the 80s 'uncool'? I recently saw an ad on TV, and the kids were complaning about their dads 'daggy 80s music' or something like that. I get the feeling 80s music is becoming old...

Hello, it's been old for nigh on 16 years! I think it depends on the '80s music. Like Bananarama and Whitesnake are uncool, but the Thompson Twins, MJ, the Talking Heads, and Prince aren't.

Also, I've noticed black '80s music is making a comeback among the "urban"-focused kids my age.

5 years ago, you'd never imagine 80s music would see a comeback. The HEIGHT of 80s uncoolness was the late 90s, do u agree? ;)

Whereas I remember in 1995, 80s songs were still 'new' as 90s songs are still sort of 'new' today, that's why I remember so many 80s songs on the radio.

Yeah, I agree with that. I've always been more interested with the late 80's being thats when I was born but i've always been more fascinated with the Early/Mid 80's(or "1984" culture) since its on the fringe of my existince. So a kid born in '98 would probably more fasinated with the Early/Mid 90's and of course there childhood years in the 00's.

I was born in 1975, and I always though the 70s were before my time and kinda stupid. But I always had a connection with the 70s at the same time too. I would pick and chose and be selective about it, just like kids born in the 80s are with the 80s or some kid born in 1990 is. For instance I would like Star Wars (1977) and Jaws (1975), I would watch reruns of CHiPs and The Incredible Hulk, but I still thought the decade was campy beyond belief.

Infact I still believe that the 70s had the worst fashions of ANY time. The worst of the 80s still can't compare to the worst of the 70s.

Since kids in the 2000-2006 age group are still a little too young to care what do you think kids born between 1995-1999 think about the '90s? Having never talked to one of them about it I can only guess, but they probably think the '90s are old and irrelevent desptie some of the them being alive for half the decade.

There was no way you could've predicted this in 06, but nowadays, those born in 95-99 are doing the opposite of what you predicted: they don't think the 90s are lame or irrelevant, far from it. Instead, they are constantly claiming to be 90s kids on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.! ;D

But they're really not 90s kids, imo. They're 00s kids, but the 00s won't be cool until 2020, so we'll just have to sit back for 3-4 years and wait. 8)

Also, those born in 94 are not really 90s kids either. :P They may remember 1999 decently enough, but their more memorable childhood years were in the 00s.

Actually for one thing, they think their childhood was from the 90s. Even though 1995-1999 babies are all 2000s kids, they think being born in the 90s counts as being a 90s kid. Granted, as a 1999 baby, I somehow like the 90s. The early-mid 90s, along with 1999 to be exact. Even if you asked me back in 2008/2009, where I was in my retro gaming phase, I could say that the 90s were cool. But only for video games.

But they're really not 90s kids, imo. They're 00s kids, but the 00s won't be cool until 2020, so we'll just have to sit back for 3-4 years and wait. 8)

Well, we have some nostalgia for the mid 2000s already, so the decade is already cool by some.

Also, those born in 94 are not really 90s kids either. :P They may remember 1999 decently enough, but their more memorable childhood years were in the 00s.

Granted, I would go say that's true. But 1994 babies were like late 90s/early 2000s hybrids, just like 1992 and 1993 babies.

I just wish I could have lived the late 90s I guess.... the 2000s were a major hangover for America after TWO Massive Stock Market Crashes from 2000-2002 and 2007-2009, Hurricane Katrina, Rita, Wilma, Charley, Ike, Ivan... etc. 9/11, War on Terror that was a failure, Iraq War, Afghanistan War.

All the things wrong with America in the late 90s were much less prominent than today. The biggest news story in 1998 was the President being impeached over lying about his sexual relations in court. The Y2K Era during the Dot Com Bubble, May 1997-April 2000 seemed like such a prosperous era for the US. By the end of it we had the largest budget surplus in US History, but somehow we screwed it up. Economically it will be very hard to see low inflation, 4-5% growth and low unemployment with interest rates hovering at around 5% in the future... my parents lived it and right now are still recovering from the Great Recession.... 9/11 does NOT feel like 15 years ago, and that may be because we never really won against those who did that and possibly never will.

I maybe born in October 1999, right at the tail end of the 90s, but I can see things from others perspectives... the late 90s were a fairly good era for America.

To be fair, they are just part of a significant minority. The majority of 1995-1999 borns think of '90s things as dated and before their time.

I'd think they'd think of it as during their time, somewhat. 90s movies, VHS, dial-up, some 90s fashion, late 90s cartoons, etc. were still relevant throughout much of the 00s, which is why those born in the mid-late 90s think they're "90s kids" - cause they grew up surrounded by 90s culture. :P

That makes perfect sense. 1991 born's were 8 in 1999, and 1992 born's were 8 in 2000. 1991 born's were in 3rd grade during the 1999-2000 school year while 1992 born's were in 2nd grade during the 1999-2000 school year. That's the cutoff.

I still disagree..... 1999-00 doesn't count. By that point true 90s kid culture was done with. Older 00s kid culture was full swing.

The late 90s/early 2000s still had some stuff that were sticking around the mid 90s. That stuff didn't felt different by then. You could have stuff like Little Bear or Blue's Clues, and that stuff stuck around the early-mid 2000s. 1990-1994 babies could somehow relate to each other with that kind of stuff, because most of the episodes they watched were from the 90s.

Or maybe four and a half, since I could remember late 2004 clearly.

Likewise, I remember my aunt's convocation ceremony in April 1997, and the following summer of 1997 when she got married and I went to Amsterdam and stayed over at my cousin's house for two weeks, and late 1997 when I met my first lifelong friend and became friends with my neighbours.

Although I remember it, I wouldn't say it's my core childhood, since my interests were still mostly pre-school Barney, Teletubbies, learning my ABCs stuff. I was also a hyper toddler. I didn't become more mentally stable and get into most elementary school kid things until we got closer to 1999/late 1998.

I kinda disagree. 1992ers are the true late 90s and early 00s hybrids, 1993ers are solidly millennial era kids, and 1994ers are solid early 00s kids.

I like to say my childhood was "turn of the millennium", so that fits ;D

1994ers are partial late 90s kids, since they were 5 in 1999, but they were also 10 in 2004. I mean, they could say they're "late 90s/early-mid-2000s kids" but it sounds like a mouthful to me. ;D It would be wrong to pretend 94ers are completely clueless about the 90s though, which is what this thread was angling for.

The late 90s/early 2000s still had some stuff that were sticking around the mid 90s. That stuff didn't felt different by then. You could have stuff like Little Bear or Blue's Clues, and that stuff stuck around the early-mid 2000s. 1990-1994 babies could somehow relate to each other with that kind of stuff, because most of the episodes they watched were from the 90s. Granted, I did watch these as a kid in the mid 2000s, but I would usually watch most of the 90s and 2000s episodes. That's a big difference right there.

By the time 93 and 94ers were entering their peak childhood. True 90s kid culture like Anamaniacs, Pogs, Fox kids, Golden Age Nick, X-MEN and Batman TAS, weren't the rage anymore. Y2K era things like Pokemon, Digimon, Cartoon Network, Silver Age Nick were the rage.

Agreed Marquis. :) 1992ers are the last that can even say their ''90s kids''. Even though I still think 1991ers are the last real ones.
And, I still hate using that term! >:( ;D

Thanks!

1993 & 1994 born's may have started their core childhood in the late 90's, but the majority of their core childhood was spent throughout the early 2000's. They were under 7 before new years 2000 hit, and they were still under 11 when 2003 ended too.

1994ers were 5 in 99, But that barely counts. And being 10 in one year of the mid 00s barley counts either. Like I said before... They're the prime early 00s kids.

Yes, I agree, that's what I meant to say. 93/94 childhoods are centred on the early 2000s.

You could be 5 and still like some preschool shows. I kinda did. But yeah, being 4 isn't part of your core childhood. Although, these stuff that are like early, core, or late childhood just seems unorthodox to me. Why can't we just use 3-10/11/12 as your childhood as a whole. You don't remember a lot before you were 3, nor were you an actual child in your teens. You were just a minor.

Well, that's right, you're free to claim whatever part of your childhood you want. ;) 3/4 is usually considered toddler though. I mean, going by my sisters, most 3 year olds cannot talk coherently, and most 4 year olds are still extremely hyper and can't control all their movements and thoughts, still very unfiltered. At 5 most the interests are still very immature and preschoolish, but that will vary with the individual I'm guessing. I mean, I was still watching Teletubbies and Blue's Clues when I was 7 ;D

The target audience for preschool shows are 2-5 year old's and the target audience for big kid shows are 6-11 year old's. 5 year old's are definitely still the target audience for preschool shows, especially if they are still in pre-K or are only a few months in Kindergarten still reviewing their basic skills. Kids can be into preschool shows as early as 2 years old and into them as late as 6 years old (if they're still in Kindergarten). A 6 year old in 1st grade however, would no longer be watching preschool shows, they'd be into the big kid shows that are non-educational.

The parental rating system is confusing though, and it gets more strict every year. TV-Y7 means suitable for only 7 & up which is usually the big kid shows. TV-Y means 6 & under, however, everything TV-Y has to be educational or preschoolish now. TV-Y shows used to not always be that way and could still be on big kid stations. Personally, I think once you turn 6 years old you're definitely old enough to be into TV-Y7 shows, especially if you're no longer in Kindergarten. I still watched Arthur (which is TV-Y) when I was in 1st & 2nd grade, but shows like Barney, Dora, Little Bill, Clifford, Max & Ruby, JoJo Circus, or the Wiggles felt too babyish for me by the time I was in 1st grade.

Compare the material Stanley or Arthur taught you compared to the material a show like Barney or Max & Ruby taught you. It's a complete joke. Spring 2002 was the very last time I watched preschool shows, but only on the weekdays of course. With Fridays, Saturdays, and some Sundays always being the big kid shows on stations like CN or Toon Disney. Once Kindergarten was over and summer 2002 arrived I quit watching preschool shows. Throughout 1st & 2nd grade I still watched PBS Kids on the weekdays (Mon-Thur) for Arthur, Liberty's Kids, Cyberchase, George Shrinks, or Berenstain Bears, but that's because a lot the stuff taught on those shows could have been 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd grade material.

Powerhouse Era CN was not from the core 90's. That started in the late 90's. Technically, 1997 was the year CN transitioned out of the Checkerboard Era and 1998 was the first FULL year of the Powerhouse age. Everything Eric is saying is correct.

I still don't like calling myself a "2000s kid" though, unless by kid we're including our teen years. That would make sense since most 93ers were in school from 1998-2011, the entire greater cultural 2000s. But if we're talking about our childhood years, I look back strictly to the turn of the millennium era, the very late 90s and early 2000s. Most the 2000s were my adolescence. When someone says "2000s" I look back to mostly middle school and high school, not being a innocent little kid ;D

Oh yeah I can understand how you feel. That's why y'all are considered as millennial kids. Millennial means late 90's & early 2000's combined together, or the transition from late 90's to early 2000's culture. Millennial is stuck in between late 90's culture and early 2000's culture.

Weren't there some other PBS Kids shows that older elementary school kids watched? I know this is coming from a person who quit watching PBS Kids at the age of 7, but it just seemed like PBS Kids had some shows where it didn't seem like it was targeted towards preschoolers.

I could actually agree with you that stuff like Between The Lions, Cyberchase, George Shrinks, and Sagwa were really great educational material, in my opinion.

Even if I have some nostalgic value for them (maybe not Sesame Street and Barney), it just seemed like I favored most of PBS Kids' shows better than Nick Jr's.

The 00s won't be cool until 2020, so we'll just have to sit back for 3-4 years and wait. 8).

Actually, they're cool right now, but it is subtle.

I'm going by the (seemingly) widespread notion that age 5 is when your memories really start to "solidify". :P
That depends. Some people have solid memories before age 5.

I still disagree..... 1999-00 doesn't count. By that point true 90s kid culture was done with. Older 00s kid culture was full swing.
Like I've said before 1993-mid 1996 babies are the older ''00s kids.''
Really? Yes, true 90s kid culture was gone, but that year was mainly 90s which they were apart of. It wasn't really in full force until the next one.

I kinda disagree. 1992ers are the true late 90s and early 00s hybrids, 1993ers are solidly millennial era kids, and 1994ers are solid early 00s kids.
I think it's best that we're seen as the Y2K kids because most took place within that time-frame.

Anyone that wasn't 8 by the end of the decade isn't truly a child of that decade.
Wait? Why is that age important? I think it's better for childhood to be divided into two halves. It makes things much easier and creates less confusion.

Well, 1994 babies did had one term of school in the 90s during the 1999-00 school year. So, they're somehow 90s kids. But they aren't major 90s kids. 1995 babies are the first solid early 00s kids to me.
I agree. they might not be major 90s kids, but that doesn't mean they aren't partly. They were clearly kids during the late 90s just like the early 00s.

Stuff like the Nintendo 64, Playstation 1, Snick, Powerhouse-era Cartoon Network, and Klasky-Csupo era Nick were all from the core 90s and it still lingered off to the late 90s/very early 2000s. Hell, there's a lot of stuff that 1993/1994 babies could be in common with 1989-1992 babies.
This so much! I honestly have things in common with them that I can remember like it was yesterday. I was in with the Pokemon crowd when it was everywhere and I watched late 90s Powerhouse CN. There are things I absolutely have in common with them.

I still don't like calling myself a "2000s kid" though, unless by kid we're including our teen years.

Same here! I may have been a 00s kid, but it was pretty much only the early portion and even then, I was already exiting my childhood at that time. I was truly more of a adolescent during the decade than a kid.

I'd think they'd think of it as during their time, somewhat. 90s movies, VHS, dial-up, some 90s fashion, late 90s cartoons, etc. were still relevant throughout much of the 00s, which is why those born in the mid-late 90s think they're "90s kids" - cause they grew up surrounded by 90s culture. :P

This right here. :)
I think going from the late 90s kid culture to the 00s was somewhat gradual while going from the 80s culture to the 90s was more sudden.

How? The PS2 was there during the 2000-01 year. Before that, it was the PS1 and the SMCs were still highly watched along with Nick, CN and Disney.

I never said they were true 90s kids, but honestly this whole early, core and late regarding childhood is getting ridiculous. I used to be with the idea, but now it's getting very complicated because thirds of anything is not even. I truly think it's much better for that stage to be divided into two halves. If we look at it, childhood is 8 years. Ages 3 to 6 is the first while the 7 to 10 is the second. Even if some people go by 3 to 12, there's still two halves regardless.

But... to be fair guys. I must admit, I did watch reruns of core 90s kid shows growing up; The Tick, X-MEN, Spider-man on JETIX, Batman TAS on Toonami, Goosebumps, Also Ren and Stimpy, Rocko, and Real Monsters reruns.

just to add on, reruns of the classic nicktoons were on Nicktoons TV around 2002-2005, before Nicktoons Network came into existence! It was an ad-free network back then too!

I could see where you're coming from, but honestly I think 6 year old's relate more to the 7-10 age group than the 3-5 age group, but everyone on here probably knows why I believe this lol! If you divide age 3-6 and age 7-10 apart, then a lot of people will go by the rule that 3-6 is early childhood (even though 6 shouldn't be in there IMO), 7-10 is peak childhood, and 11-14 is late childhood/early teens.

The best games for a gaming system usually starts coming out a year after the release of the system, and that continues on for a couple more years. I can't think of any big XBOX 360 titles that came out in 2005 or even 2006, and I can't think of many big Wii titles that came out in 2006 either. The Nintendo DS was released 2004, NOTHING in 2004 or even early 2005 I can think of other than Super Mario 64 DS (which was a remake anyway) was big or popular. The good PS1 games didn't start coming out until 1996 with Tomb Raider and Crash Bandicoot, and the console was from 1995.

They're probably thinking that regarding kid culture, the late 90s and early 00s were different from each other, and that who is part of the the Millennial generation.

You must be joking... Pokemon, Digimon, N64, Zoog Disney, first half of silver age Nick, WWF etc. All remained popular that school year, JUST LIKE the last one!!!
Well you said they were exactly the same, but that's clearly not true. For instance, some of the popular prime-time shows from the 90s were currently on air until they ended in 2000.

Well you're correct; however, I'm going by childhood with two parts. Furthermore, if we also see adolescence as 8 years then we get two halves as well. That means ages 10 to 13 (or 11-14) is stage 1 while 14 to 17 (or 15-18) is stage 2.

I wanted to get into the discussion that Darko was talking about in this old thread. Looking at the predictions made, I find it funny that in 2006, one of the members here said that HS would be more Z oriented culture by around 2009 ;D ;D and that they turned out to be wrong. Next, they stated the youngest members of the Millennials or the oldest Zers (at the time) were between the HS C/O 2011 and 2013 and that turned out to be not true ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D . Third, one of them even said 1994-97 was the Y/Z cusp cohort and he probably was correct since it's now starting to show that some people within that range can't identify with either ;D ;D ;D

Likewise, I remember my aunt's convocation ceremony in April 1997, and the following summer of 1997 when she got married and I went to Amsterdam and stayed over at my cousin's house for two weeks, and late 1997 when I met my first lifelong friend and became friends with my neighbours.

The earliest clear memory that I have is my younger brother being born in May 1991, which was actually two months shy of my 4th birthday. I can also remember my 4th birthday party that July, as well as starting preschool, and other things from that year. I would say that my memories didn't start becoming really clear until I was around 5 or 6, but I can definitely remember some things from age 4.

Stuff like the Nintendo 64, Playstation 1, Snick, Powerhouse-era Cartoon Network, and Klasky-Csupo era Nick were all from the core 90s and it still lingered off to the late 90s/very early 2000s. Hell, there's a lot of stuff that 1993/1994 babies could be in common with 1989-1992 babies.

I feel like even I've got some things in common with 1993ers, and maybe even 1994ers. I was only 13 in 2000, after all. A teenager yes, but I still spent plenty of time playing N64/PS1, watching stuff like DBZ and Gundam Wing on Toonami, and playing Pokemon on my Game Boy Color. At age 13-14 you might be growing up, but that doesn't mean you just suddenly start watching Masterpiece Theater all of a sudden.

Really, as long as you have at least a halfway decent memory of 2000-01 I feel like I can relate to you in some way, so perhaps 1996 babies at the latest.

Honestly, it's not like the 2000s were just bad because it had a mediocre economy. Every decade had recessions. I wouldn't wish to live during the 90s, because it doesn't seem like my style. Unless it was in the late 90s, but even then I wouldn't wish to love it. The 80s on the other hand is really cool to me. I would rather live there instead of the 90s.

Yeah every decade has recessions, but the 2000s had two fairly long ones, dont read gdp growth(Most of the time in Recessions, people dont really "feel" the gdp growth, they feel they are out of work), read the unemployment rate peak date.... June 2003 was when the unemployment rate FINALLY peaked, nearly 2 years after the Recession officially ended. June 2003 - November 2007 had no Recessionary conditions, but by the end of 2007 there were warning signs. The US had a significant soft landing in the Economy in 2006, but that soft landing translated into a slow slump into a Recession. October 2009 was when the unemployment rate peaked at 10%, worlds better than the Early 2000s and Early 90s Recessions. But the unemployment rate was VERY stubborn to go down and did not go below 9% until 9/2011, 8% until 9/2012 and 6% until 9/2014.

(Sorry if these statistics are literally blowing your mind up)

Early 90s had a slight hangover with the unemployment rate peaking in June 1992, a year after the Recession ended. But other than that, and a brief soft landing that was almost recessionary in early-mid 1995, the 90s had explosive growth throughout the decade.

2010s economy has been a lot worse than the 2000s, much more stagnant growth, malaise, inconsistent growth, but the 2000s Economy was fairly crappy.

But even then, it's not like the only thing that makes people is the economy. You could enjoy being a teen during the 2000s. Besides, it's way better than looking at what we have nowadays. I wish I could just be one, so that I could have friends talk to me via AIM or MSN Messenger. Especially when it had really cool games at the time. Besides, the economy in the 2000s is really mixed, so it's not like you could expect a recession soon, unless you watched the news so much.

2010s economy has been a lot worse than the 2000s, much more stagnant growth, malaise, inconsistent growth, but the 2000s Economy was fairly crappy.

Honestly, I don't know what to say about this. Every decade had sh*tty times. No matter if it was a prosperous time like the 20s, 50s, or even the 90s, they had bad recessions towards their time. For something like the Great Depression in the 1930s, or the Great Recession in the late 2000s, I could understand why people could dislike those times. But to be honest, some people in the 30s had some good times, despite having a terrible economy. Same with the late 2000s. It's best to just live in the modern times for a lot of people, since modern technology always advances into something good overtime.

Watching SMCs from cable networks is not the same as watching SMCs from broadcast networks. You could watch cartoons on Nick, CN, and Disney, because they air cartoons throughout the day. On broadcast networks, they only air it for five hours.

It was fairly consistent, I suppose. The Simpsons, Seinfeld, and Beavis & Butthead were winding down around the start of the late 90s, and a lot of other really popular shows like Veronica's Closet, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, King of the Hill, and Everybody Loves Raymond were blowing up. If you're focusing on kid channels, I think 1999, however, was a bit of a shift because the mainstream breakthrough of anime was a huge deal in the United States (and Canada, from what I gather). 1998 was still dominated by Power Rangers and not Pokémon or Digimon. Actually, adult television shifted in early 1999 as well, since that's when Family Guy, Futurama, and The Sopranos made their debuts.

Funny thing is that TV in general was going through a MAJOR cultural shift during the 1998-99 season, both kids and adults. Core 90s kids shows like Anamaniacs and Pinky and the Brain ended their runs. The New Batman Adventures ended, basically ending TAS for good. Deep Space Nine ended. Home Improvement ended. Disney Doug ended.

Then millennium era things like Dil debuting on Rugrats. Spider-man Unlimited and Batman Beyond premiered. Catdog, Spongebob and The Wild Thorn Berries,debuted on Nick, PPG, Ed Edd n Eddy debuted on CN. DBZ and Sailor Moon, debuted on Toonami. Pokemon came to Kids WB.

That only lasted for about a year, and then baseball went on with the Yankees Dynasty. The 1996-97 season truly changed for baseball, because that's when the Yankees won their first World Series in 18 years. After that, they won playoff berths from 1997-2007. They didn't won anything in 2008, but then they won several division titles in 2009-2012.

Watching SMCs from cable networks is not the same as watching SMCs from broadcast networks. You could watch cartoons on Nick, CN, and Disney, because they air cartoons throughout the day. On broadcast networks, they only air it for five hours.
You're right, but there were some that were only shown on broadcast networks. Sure, SMCs took a nosedive due to Nick, CN, and Disney; however, they were still popular during the early 00s.

I'd say 1997-2001 kid culture was mostly the same. It was the N64 kid era. I don't know about those American channels though.
I agree with the kid culture! As for the bold, are you talking about the children's channels?

As for TV seasons, while I still think 1993-1994 and 1996-1997 were the most transformative of the 90s, the 1998-1999 was nearly just as impactful, even with far fewer notable program debuts.

It changed for the yankees..... but who cares; Baseball was still in the decline when they won in 1996
The home run chase in 1998 was when baseball really made it's soaring comeback after the 1994 strike.

I guess the late 90s were more special than the mid 90s for MLB, considering that's when the Yankees' World Series three-peat happened.

1998 was an amazing year sports wise. Possibly my favorite sports year of my lifetime, in fact. In no particular order, you had...

*John Elway winning his first Super Bowl in dramatic fashion over Brett Farve and the heavily favored Green Bay Packers.
*The New York Yankees finishing a dominant 114 win season.
*The dramatic home run chase between Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa.
*Dale Earnhardt winning his first Daytona 500, and Jeff Gordon winning a modern-era record 13 races, during an epic NASCAR season.
*Michael Jordan's making his iconic "Last Shot" over Byron Russell in Game 6 of the NBA Finals to defeat the Utah Jazz.
*An historic NFL Draft featuring the infamous Peyton Manning vs. Ryan Leaf debate.
*Bryce Drew's buzzer beater that put 13 seed Valparasio over Ole Miss in the NCAA Tournament.
*France winning the World Cup on it's own home soil.
*Kerry Wood's 20 strikeout game with the Cubs.
*Texas A&M upsetting national championship contender Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game.
*One of the most memorable NFL seasons of all time. Randy Moss' dominant rookie season as Minnesota goes 15-1, the '98 Broncos making a run at an undefeated season as Terrell Davis rushes for 2,000 yards, Jerome Bettis and his infamous "coin toss gaffe" on Thanksgiving, Jamal Anderson and the '98 Falcons completing the greatest season in franchise history. Man what a year!

I thought the 1998 season was the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl when we lost to the Broncos :-[

and yes, I consider the January 1999 playoffs in football to be part of the 1998 season, although some people might think differently and believe that the January 1998 Super Bowl belongs to 1998 when it's really the 1997 season.

Well, Technically your Falcons lost to Elway's Broncos in 1999....

True, January 31, 1999, but it was still the 1998 season of NFL overall. That's the confusing thing about college football and the NFL. The ENTIRE regular season takes place from September-December, but the playoffs all occur in January & February. In college football, the bowl games occur during December & January while the national championship is in that same month, but again, the regular season and all the main highlights occur from August/September-December. That's what makes it confusing to me. I still consider the Falcons loss to the Broncos the 1998 season, even though the Super Bowl was in early 1999. When people think of the Seahawk's super bowl season with Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, and the Legion of Boom with Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman, people immediately think of the 2013 season of the NFL, even though the playoffs for them to win the Super Bowl occurred in January/February 2014. I've had this conversation with many people before.

Now when it comes to the NBA or MLB, it's a lot easier, for example, with the NBA the championship or playoffs occuring in May/June, and since the season always starts late in the regular year, we go ahead and say for example the 2016 Cavaliers won their championship against Golden State, since the majority of their regular season occurred in 2016 including the playoffs, even though the season started in late 2015. Or Kobe and Shaqs championships from 2000-2002, all occurred during the late spring/summer.

So in other words, when it comes to college football or the NFL, if it's the 2007-2008 season, then I call it the 2007 season, since the majority of the season occurred in 2007, despite the playoffs/championship being held in early 2008. However, if it's the 2007-2008 season of college basketball or the NBA, then I call it the 2008 season, because of majority of the season AND march madness/NBA playoffs occurred in 2008, despite the season starting in late 2007.

I was just listing events that happened within the calendar year of 1998. The Falcons shocking upset of the Vikings in the NFC Championship Game is perhaps my single favorite sports moment of all-time, but since it happened in January of 1999 I didn't include it. It's all part of the same time period though, and another reason why 1998-99 as a whole was a great time for sports.

I was born in March 1999, but I must admit, I don't particularly like the year that I was born in. It's frustrating that I was born at the end of the decade I wish I could have experienced. If I had my way, I would have been born in the Late 80's, so I could have experienced the 90's as a child and then the Early 2000's as an adolescent. I would have loved to have been a 90's child. The 90's are also my favourite decade for music and the majority of the bands/artists I like started sometime in the 90's, such as Pearl Jam, Linkin Park and Silverchair. Apart from the Late 90's, the 90's were such a great time for music and I always enjoy listening to any grunge or rock song from the decade. It disappoints me that my teenage years are taking place when crappy 'artists' such as Taylor Swift, One Direction and Zara Larson are popular. They have no real talent and personally, I don't believe they deserve the success they are having.

Also, I hate the fact that people stereotype myself (and other people my age) as always being on their smartphones or on social media. I have only ever owned two phones in the 17 years that I have been alive and I only received my first phone just before I turned 13. The only social media website I use is Facebook, but even then I only use it to talk to a few close friends. Otherwise, I would probably delete my Facebook account. As for my phone, well, I hardly use it to be honest. I only have a phone, just so family and friends can contact me easily.

For me, being born in 1999 is like getting kicked in the teeth...

80s born have wisen up (well most of them) and have now disguised themselves. Although back in the late 1990s - 2000s I swear them 80s kids would never shut up about the 80s. I was watching Samurai Jack and my uncle would come in and complaining that I'm watching terrible shows. And that I missed out on "good" cartoons like Thunder Cats (which sucked to me), He-Man 1983 (which also sucks), and The Wuzzles (which doesn't suck, but I don't care to watch it). They talked about how 80s fashion was better. To me 80s fashion looks like that stuff you'd wear at a costume party (no offense to 80s fans/born) etc etc.

90s kids elistists are just as bad if not worse. With 80s born and the 80s nonstalgia in the 2000s the idea of using memes, forums posts, youtube videos etc wasn't a common thing as this was mainly in the early-mid 2000s. So no overuse of memes and youtube wasn't big yet.....and also no crappy buzzfeed articles. Now with the the internet in a 3.0 Web world the decade kid elitists (for now it's mainly 90s kids) have boosted up 10 levels in terms of cringe.

00s kids will soon take the spotlight and I'mma hate 'em all. I love a decade until it's ruined by the elitists. >:(

Early 00s nostalgia is somewhat big, but I think that's because people tend to just push 2000-2002/3 in with the late 1990, though. This is something I wish they didn't do as I find that to be quite annoying. Nothing against the late 1990s or early 2000s as I loved them, but they're not part of the same decade!

It makes more sense to group in the late 90s with the early 2000s, because it was still that early Internet, VHS, teen pop, pop punk, baggy fashion etc. era. 1997-2003 is its own mini-era (at least in Canada, we had the same prime minister throughout and no recession/dot-com bubble).

I can see the late 1990s and early 2000s as being within the same era, but I still seperate them. In terms of technology & pop culture they were pretty similar. And to me late 1990s and early 2000s relate better than with other 1990s or 2000s years. But that's the thing. I'd group only the late 1990s and the early 2000s. Not the whole 1990s with the early 2000s. A year number is nothing more than a year number. What defines the year/decade is the culture. Early 2000s culture isn't the same as early or core 1990s culture. Late 1990s culture from 1998 and especially 1999, however, can relate to early 2000s culture pretty well as the culture from those years were still pretty relevant as late as '03.

Well maybe it's because 2000s nostalgia isn't that well known on the Internet yet.
Actually, it is. Check out youtube and articles about 00s nostalgia. It's there.

80s born have wisen up (well most of them) and have now disguised themselves. Although back in the late 1990s - 2000s I swear them 80s kids would never shut up about the 80s. I was watching Samurai Jack and my uncle would come in and complaining that I'm watching terrible shows. And that I missed out on "good" cartoons like Thunder Cats (which sucked to me), He-Man 1983 (which also sucks), and The Wuzzles (which doesn't suck, but I don't care to watch it). They talked about how 80s fashion was better. To me 80s fashion looks like that stuff you'd wear at a costume party (no offense to 80s fans/born) etc etc.

90s kids elistists are just as bad if not worse. With 80s born and the 80s nonstalgia in the 2000s the idea of using memes, forums posts, youtube videos etc wasn't a common thing as this was mainly in the early-mid 2000s. So no overuse of memes and youtube wasn't big yet.....and also no crappy buzzfeed articles. Now with the the internet in a 3.0 Web world the decade kid elitists (for now it's mainly 90s kids) have boosted up 10 levels in terms of cringe.

00s kids will soon take the spotlight and I'mma hate 'em all. I love a decade until it's ruined by the elitists. >:(
Yeah, they have. I don't seem them criticize future decades like they used to. The 90s elitists took their place, but made it 10× worse. Hopefully, within these next years, the 00s kids don't go overboard and ruin the 00s nostalgia as it not only look bad, but embarrassing.

Well all those links are mostly pre-2013 which was when the 00s were terrible was in high demand. I'm pretty sure many people have now relaxed on that issue since the rest of the decade is already pushing 10 and over. I mean 2000 is pushing 20 FFS. Those people need to understand that the 2000s are not as recent like they were 3/4 years ago. Let go of the awful things that occurred and be nostalgic already. I've already seen 00s nostalgia on fashion, games, movies and even TV shows. What more is left to hate on? I understand the political climate was awful, but that was only one bad factor of the decade. Everything else was fantastic.

Well, that timeframe is not that far from now. We're already hitting 2017 in the next few months and 2020 is less than 4 years away.

Always remember that the only one who tend to be nostalgia for a decade are the people who grew up in it. 1990's elitists all happen to be "90's kids" for example. The people who grew up in the decade always talk about great it is and ignore the bad things. I can easily make a list of bad things about the 1990s if I had to (I've already mentioned how the crime rate was on of the worst we've ever seen). By the 2020s the people who'd be nostalgia for the 2000s would be 2000s elitists/kids. And I'm sure they would look past all the bad stuff due to their nostalgia just like all the previous decade elitists did.

Most 2000s hate seems to have died down as of the mid 2010s. It was only really high due to the nostalgia pattern. The pattern goes like this:

Current Decade = "If it's modern then it sucks"
1 Decade ago = "Man, that decade was terrible. It was basically a dark age"
2 Decades ago = "Dude, that retro decade was the last golden age before things went bad"

This applies to all decades we passed by. When the 2000s was current and/or recent people hated it. But now I'm seeing a lot of 2000-2003/4 nostagia as we edge closer to the 2020s. Especially since the 2000s kids will most certainly like it. You may see 2000s kids who say they hate the 2000s, but we all know they've just been brainwashed into hating the 2000s by the "90's kid elitists" anyway. When all the 2000s kids get into their late teens and older (by 2020 all 2000s kids would be 18-27) and they learn to think for themselves they'd soon start to feel nostalgia for their childhood (just like everyone else) and then the 2000s nostalgia is set in full force.

And if it doesn't then it isn't a total loss as that means we wouldn't have to deal with the annoying nostalgia pandering. I hate the 1990s nostalgia pandering already. >:( Stop trying to sell me my childhood.

Apprently they don't see the 2nd half of the 2000s as old yet. You see when nostalgia for a decade hits it doesn't hit all the years within the decade at the exact same time. Rather it's gradual. It's starts with the early years and then transistions to the later years. When it came to 1990s nostalgia it first started in the early 1990s. If you mentioned ANYTHING from the late 1990s people would make fun of you. I happen to be one of those kids who had gotten made fun of. I was born in 1990 meaning that I didn't grow up in the early 1990s. Was always annoying being messed around with by those early-mid 80s born. Was f*cking sick of it. Anyways by the late 2010s or early 2020s the 2000s would seem pretty distant and all 2000s kids (whether they'd early, mid, or late kids) would all be old enough to become nostalgia. Give it time and 2005-2009 (or rather the entire 2000s) would be in the nostalgia spot light. 1990s nostalgia would be pushed out the way for a few reasons.

1) 1990s kids will soon become old fogies and a whole new set of younger people will run the Internets. 1990s nostalgia can't survive when all of those who're within their midish 20s and younger by 2020 can't even remember the 1990s.

2) Decade nostalgia is all just a trend. Media honestly can't keep being nostalgic for the exact same decade forever. Retro Revivals move on to whatever is the next popular old decade. 1990s nostalgia will be pushed from "It's retro cool" to "It's too old to care about" like what happened to the 1970s for the most part.

3)1990's elitist wisen up and stop caring. I don't think I'd see someone 30 year old on a forum full of 20 somethings or younger and being mean to them for no growing up in the "utopian golden age" that was that 1990s. If it does happen then that 30+ year old is an sad and depressing person.

We already see early 2000s nostalgia. And remember that back in the early 2010s ALL of the 2000s was hated on. Now only some of it is hated on. And soon none of it will be. Just takes time.

Nostalgia is sssllllooooowwwwwww. It takes forever to get here. And it takes forever for it to leave. New years are added to the nostalgia wave as we move on through time. I didn't start seeing early 2000s nostalgia until the midish 2010s. And remember that the ones who're nostalgic for the early 2000s are either early 2000s kids or older (21+). Nostalgia tends to happen once the people who grew up in the time period are considered old enough to be nostalgic for the period. Late 2000s nostalgia isn't exactly here yet as all late 2000s kids are still high schoolers. Mid 2000s nostalgia is slowly coming as I've seen a tad bit of 2004 nostalgia. The one's who're old enough to be seen as nostalgic are usually the once who start the nostalgia wave I've noticed. For example 1990's kids started the 1990s nostalgia wave. Up to 2000s kids to do the same which they probably will. Same for 2010s kids.

Well not just those who grew up in the decade, but also those enjoyed the pop culture. Right now, there's lots of folks who truly like the movies that's being released in theaters; then, you have those who like the TV shows such as the Walking Dead, OITNB, GoT, Agents of SHIELD and so on. When the 2000s were current, there were people who like diversity of games such as GTA, Kingdom Hearts, Ratchet & Clank, Sims, DDR, and many more. In the 90s, despite the small recessions, the economy was F'ing amazing!

Mate, I didn't say everyone hated the time period. Only 1990's kid elitists. I'm well aware that there are tons of people who liked modern day things. If they didn't then current Disney movies, music, fashion, games etc would fall in popularity and go into obscurity. As for the economy if we're talking about kids who grew up in the decade then the economy doesn't matters. Most kids can't tell a good economy from the bad half the time. I certainly didn't see any kids in the late 2000s who mentioned anything about the recession. Some may be aware, but it's not the majority.

As for the "If it's modern then it sucks" quote. No one has actually said this. It was just a funny line I made up as it reflected how some thought. No one has to like EVERYTHING that comes out in modern day. I certainly don't like all 2010s things. You hear me talk about bad 2010s music and political issues from time to time.

Uhhhhh, not exactly. In fact, back in 2011-12, there were people who were already nostalgic for the early 00s and they were not only children, but adolescents and adults as well.

Again I'm aware that not EVERYONE hated the 2000s. I'm mainly talking about those who took part in the nostalgia wave (elitists). At the time 1990s elitists were almost everywhere and if you mentioned a 2000s year you'd get made fun of. Or at least this was my experience. Of course there were people who liked the early 2000s. Not as much as the amount of people today, but not everyone is a 1990s elitist. I've met tons of people my age who liked tons of things whether they were old or new.

I was born in March 1999, but I must admit, I don't particularly like the year that I was born in. It's frustrating that I was born at the end of the decade I wish I could have experienced. If I had my way, I would have been born in the Late 80's, so I could have experienced the 90's as a child and then the Early 2000's as an adolescent. I would have loved to have been a 90's child. The 90's are also my favourite decade for music and the majority of the bands/artists I like started sometime in the 90's, such as Pearl Jam, Linkin Park and Silverchair. Apart from the Late 90's, the 90's were such a great time for music and I always enjoy listening to any grunge or rock song from the decade. It disappoints me that my teenage years are taking place when crappy 'artists' such as Taylor Swift, One Direction and Zara Larson are popular. They have no real talent and personally, I don't believe they deserve the success they are having.

Also, I hate the fact that people stereotype myself (and other people my age) as always being on their smartphones or on social media. I have only ever owned two phones in the 17 years that I have been alive and I only received my first phone just before I turned 13. The only social media website I use is Facebook, but even then I only use it to talk to a few close friends. Otherwise, I would probably delete my Facebook account. As for my phone, well, I hardly use it to be honest. I only have a phone, just so family and friends can contact me easily.

For me, being born in 1999 is like getting kicked in the teeth...

Honestly, I wouldn't let it bother me. I was born in the late '80s, and let me assure you that older people complained about us all the time back then, too. When we were kids, they said that all we did was sit around the house playing Super Nintendo all the time, and when we were teens they said we spent too much time going on chat rooms and using Yahoo Messenger.

Hell, they still criticize us today for not being able to buy houses and start families like they did when they were our age due to the recession. It's like some kind of never ending cycle.

Well, I'm mostly nostalgic for the mid 2000s now, since it's 10-12 years old as of this post.
That's something I can understand since it was a a precious time to you.

Mate, I didn't say everyone hated the time period. Only 1990's kid elitists. I'm well aware that there are tons of people who liked modern day things. If they didn't then current Disney movies, music, fashion, games etc would fall in popularity and go into obscurity. As for the economy if we're talking about kids who grew up in the decade then the economy doesn't matters. Most kids can't tell a good economy from the bad half the time. I certainly didn't see any kids in the late 2000s who mentioned anything about the recession. Some may be aware, but it's not the majority.

As for the "If it's modern then it sucks" quote. No one has actually said this. It was just a funny line I made up as it reflected how some thought. No one has to like EVERYTHING that comes out in modern day. I certainly don't like all 2010s things. You hear me talk about bad 2010s music and political issues from time to time. I can't stand hipsters and I hate modern nostalgia pandering (which means I hate both old and new things at the same time funny enough).

No worries it's all good. I blame my odd way of wording. I can have a comment, but my choice of words are sometimes questionable and can leave some confused. As for the kids and the economy now if you're homeless then that I can understand. Even if a kid may not understand how an economy works they should be able to see the difference between the kids living in a house and those who live on the streets.

I think it has to deal with poor income, rather than the economy itself. I could understand that there's homeless people as a kid, but I thought it had to deal with them being poor because of what they dealt with financially. I thought it had nothing to do with the Great Recession, because I didn't know what it was until I was about 14 and three months old.

I figure poor income and economy can go hand in hand. With a recession people make less money which leads to bad income which could lead to a loss in any belongings like electricity, house, car etc. Although I'm curious on the views of one who was born into a homeless family versus someone who had a home, but then lost it.

Yeah, but it just seems like something that they could've done with their decisions. Not with the recession and such, but I could understand why. Even if we're out of the Great Recession, there's still families in the United States that are probably living in the streets or living in homeless shelters, while they can't afford a lot of necessities.

I don't think the 90s are as good as the 90s kids say though, no matter the time you grow up, you'll probably be nostalgic for that later in life, you know?

I hear a lot of people say grunge was the big genre of the 90s, but when I look at hits from the 90s, I see more R&B than anything else, so when I think 90s music, I think Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey.

Yeah, well, I guess I don't listen to a LOT of music from 1900 to 1919 (If I do, it will be someone like Scott Joplin), but I am willing to. 1920 to 2016 would probably be more accurate.

I think they both go hand-in-hand, to be honest. Both genres were relatively popular throughout most of the decade, particularly in the first half. In 1991, you had Pearl Jam and Nirvana releasing their debut and breakthrough albums, respectively. Then there was also Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots, who both achieved mainstream popularity and have great success. However, on the same token, R&B and rap were also successful in the mainstream.

There always will be poverty in a way, but I was talking about the recession. That event was nothing like the early 00s one, and it's still hurting us tremendously.

Same with me. I didn't really want to talk about Election Day, since Trump seems disastrous with his godawful speeches. Same with Clinton, but her stuff isn't that terrible. Kinda mediocre, but she's at least tolerable.

You've been missing out on comedy gold and the most satisfying schadenfreude.

Since the end of the Democratic convention I haven't been paying attention lately, but I will get back to it really soon, especially when the president debates start coming around. Thank God the Olympics have given us a long break from all these politics and other craziness going on around the world.

I don't if you guys are aware, but I've heard that Trump is losing very well since he had a tough week 2 weeks ago and that his campaign is collapsing into pieces. That's gotta mean something.

This election we've got a certain someone talking about assassinating his opponent, jailing journalists, dragging Gold Star parents, Red Scare 2016, calling the election rigged before it's even set up, refusing to endorse downticket races and oh god I'm missing at least 10 other scandals.

Sadly, most Republican supporters still believe him because of their hatred over Obama. They just want Obama to get out of the White House, since they were raised to believe that conservatives are the only true people of America.

It's not worth it to spend energy on trying to convince Republicans to agree with you. It's a game of numbers. Obama's approval rating is 52% approve / 45% disapprove, Clinton is winning 48% to 40% for Trump. Democrats are projected to take back the Senate, and the House is competitive despite the gerrymandering. As long as they are kept out of power, Trump supporters can say whatever they want, it has zero bearing on reality.

So what about George W. Bush? When a lot of people thought he would less likely win the presidency in 2000, although Al Gore was like the same with him. If I had to vote for anybody in the 2000 presidential election, it would've been Bush, but that's not really the point. Only centrists or conservatives wanted him to become president, because they didn't want Clinton to be president anymore. Although with Bush, he didn't really screw the entire country in just a year. It'll just feel like that when Trump becomes president. Especially with Mike Pence, the same Pence who voted for a homophobic law to legally allow businesses to discriminate LGBT people.

40 percent is still big compared to 48 percent, since that would possibly mean something in Election Day. It may be a random Seinfeld episode outside of the United States, especially in Canada, but Americans would possibly fear for what Trump would do as president. He doesn't stand up to most of his political views, because he just wants whatever crazy American (especially white nationalists) to do his bidding.

My point is that you shouldn't get so worked up on things you cannot change. You won't convince someone deep into the conspiracy theory rabbit hole to jump out. You won't convince kids on /pol/ to jump out the echo chamber and start questioning their beliefs. You won't convince people who watch Fox News (or any cable news channel tbh) to start questioning what they see on there and the quality of information they're getting. It's not worth the energy.

Case in point, in the 2000 election, it would have been wiser to spend time, money and energy get 600 Nader voters to vote for Al-Gore, or to get 600 more Democrats to turn out, then it would have been to get 600 Republicans to switch over to Democrats.

It's also not worth getting worked up over what kids on /pol/ think. AFAIK most of them are too young to vote, and after Donald Trump loses in a landslide, the GOP will quickly disown that faction and it will sputter into irrelevancy, which is what I'm talking about when I say the only important thing is to keep them out of power. Also keep in mind that the alt-right is just as misogynistic as it is racist. They've lost 50% of the country's support right off the bat, they're the kind of people who will never be in power. There are next to zero women on /pol/, and Trump is losing to Clinton among white female voters, which will be a first since 1964. That's not a coincidence..

How do most of them not like Trump? They'll pretty much believe anything he says, and for the fact that Trump said that he likes the poorly educated is not that surprising. Those poorly educated whites could go and look up anything about Trump to have him as the next president of this country.

Same with them. They try to persuade other people into liking Trump, but it doesn't really matter towards a lot of people who are sane.

I was watching CNN the other day. I didn't like the format at all. They concentrate on very irrelevant news stories for hours on end. They also have panels with literal paid shills, or "spokespersons". I don't understand why you would give a platform to opinions that have, literally, zero critical thought put into them, they only say those things because they're paid to say them. It's giving a free soapbox to uninformed political opinions.

Also, when I was watching it, I saw a paid Trump shill "call out" "media bias" by saying that CNN isn't covering that complete non-story about Saddiq Marteen being at a Clinton rally, then the news anchor replied with "we've given equal time to both Clinton and Trump scandals today" and my jaw hit the floor. Why in the world would you give airtime to nothingburger news stories just to appear "unbiased", when there are actual real stories out there to cover ??? That is terrible journalism. I felt a lot dumber after having watched CNN, it was like Jerry Springer.

We don't have any 24-hour news channel in Canada, except the state-run CBC, which isn't really 24-hours since they record the one hour news segment and play it on loop.

I recommend print media (online or physical), always and always. You get the straight facts, no spin from "panels", and you don't have to worry about any individual story "burying" or "stealing" the "news cycle". Something reputable too, not NY Post or HuffPo. Something like the New York Times. Me personally, I get my news from La Presse (French-Canadian paper), the Toronto Star (for local news), and the only news channel I watch is France 24 (I love their coverage of international news, especially Africa and the Middle East).

I learned so much more about politics over the last few years watching CNN more, even though I'm still not an expert on politics anyway. FOX News is pro Republican and I can't stand a lot of the reporters, but CNN is diverse with reporters with all kinds of views, some you'll love while some you'll hate, but that's just me. I just like how CNN is set up really well too. A little part of my opinion might be because of the CNN headquarters being in my hometown too.

FOX News is way worse, no doubt. For what's supposed to be a news channel, it spreads a lot of misinformation. I still don't think CNN is very good compared to a variety of other media that's out there, especially in print (New York Times, TIME Magazine etc.)

Even if we're talking about TV news, I mean, compare CNN to France 24 (or BBC) if you have the time. Here is their English live stream (even though I usually watch it in French):

http://www.france24.com/en/livefeed

Just look at the breadth of the news they cover, and how they cover it. It's way more intellectual and informative. They report the facts straight up. There's no panels or "news cycles" or people shouting over each other or "spokespeople". It feels like an actual news channel. CNN to me tries too hard to make the news entertaining or controversial.

Well anyways back on topic (well sorta). NewYorkEagle I was curious on how someone from 1999 such as yourself would view those who're within the born range that this decade mentioned (1995-1999) in terms of their experience growing up and do think you relate to the all within that range. And I'm not asking just you, but anything else born within that range. Also I'm curious on why it's just 1995-1999. I'd extend that from 1993-2001.

Honestly, anybody who grew up during the early and mid 2000s should have their own age range. Just like 1993-2001. For some reason, it felt kinda different compared to the late 2000s. For one, there wasn't a lot of social media during the early-mid 2000s (aside from Myspace, college era Facebook, LiveJournal, and several message boards). However, they looked simplistic compared to Twitter, modern Facebook, YouTube (although it seemed like an ordinary video sharing site in the mid-late 00s), and other sorts of social networks. The late 2000s were like the start of the modern day Internet, but seems obsolete now. Especially when they introduced actual smartphones with the iPhone, but never really took a lot of mainstream share until the early 2010s. In other words, the late 2000s seem kinda related towards the early 2010s.

Well... aren't 1993-1995 babies mostly late 90s/early-mid 2000s kids? So, they're barely 90s kids. If I were born around that era, especially 1995, then I'll rather be more nostalgic towards the 2000s. Despite having some memories of the late 90s, it's not enough. Plus, it would be the same compared to 2000-2002.

When it came to social media during the early-mid 2000s they weren't as big and huge as Facebook/Twitter are today. They existed, but weren't at the same level of popularity or relevance.

Yeah, but the thread is asking if people born 1995-1999 care at all for the 90s or do they think it's outdated. People born 1993-1995 were the target age for a lot of late 90s pop culture, it would be strange if they thought, say, the N64 was outdated in 1998 :o

And people born 2000/2001 did not exist in the 90s. It was physically "before their time" ;D

For what it's worth though, I did think a lot of early '90s pop culture was outdated. I couldn't get into TMNT, I thought it was an '80s show for the longest time ;D There were a few other early 90s shows/songs I found old/annoying. I miscategorized a lot of them as "80s" for the longest time, in my head.

Wouldn't that be funny. Someone from 1993-1995 would've had a Nintendo 64 or Playstation 1 as part of their early-core childhoods since the consoles didn't discontinue until they were halfway through their core childhood (1993-1995 born were 8-10 when the N64 discontinued for example which means that they should have a good memory of it). So I figured they wouldn't call it lame (unless they hated the fact that they had 5th gen consoles as kids). But I'm curious on how 1997-1998 borns feel about the 1990s then. Not just in gaming, but in general in terms of pop culture.

That's what I'm trying to say. I mean, the only things that were like mainstream social media at the time where AIM (unless you lived outside the U.S.), MSN, Yahoo, and Myspace. I honestly don't think a lot of people used Livejournal at the time.

Same with me. My preschool years (although I barely remembered them) were kinda like the late 90s. They usually had VCRs, 90s/early 2000s shows airing, and I could remember when my old car had a cassette tape slot. Not to mention that they had either Windows 98, 2000, or ME on their computers. It wasn't until late 2004 and 2005 when it started to be like the mid 2000s, but it had a few early 2000s influences.

How can anybody say the N64 was outdated by 1998, when it was still around until the early 2000s? It's like they barely gave a crap about the console, aside from having some of Nintendo's most mature games on there. lol

And people born 2000/2001 did not exist in the 90s. It was physically "before their time" ;D

Well, some of them could like the 90s. We would never know which early 2000s baby actually likes the 90s.

Also I'm curious on why it's just 1995-1999. I'd extend that from 1993-2001.

Well, as the person that started this thread way back when, allow me to answer. ;)

The reason I asked about 1995ers-1999ers is because, back in 2006, there weren't any people on the boards born after 1994 posting, so I just wondered if they, as later '90s babies, felt the same way about the '90s that I did about the '80s as a later '80s baby. I didn't include those born in 2000 or 2001 because I figured they were too young to have an opinion on the matter at the time.

If I would've posted this in 2006 (which there's no way I wouldn't, because I didn't have an email at the time), then I wouldn't really care about the 90s being different than the 2000s. I mean, I grew up with some stuff from 1991-1999, so I would probably say that it's kinda cool.

Wouldn't that be funny. Someone from 1993-1995 would've had a Nintendo 64 or Playstation 1 as part of their early-core childhoods since the consoles didn't discontinue until they were halfway through their core childhood (1993-1995 born were 8-10 when the N64 discontinued for example which means that they should have a good memory of it). So I figured they wouldn't call it lame (unless they hated the fact that they had 5th gen consoles as kids). But I'm curious on how 1997-1998 borns feel about the 1990s then. Not just in gaming, but in general in terms of pop culture.

That's true from age 4 until 7 N64 was my go to console!!

Well anyways back on topic (well sorta). NewYorkEagle I was curious on how someone from 1999 such as yourself would view those who're within the born range that this decade mentioned (1995-1999) in terms of their experience growing up and do think you relate to the all within that range. And I'm not asking just you, but anything else born within that range. Also I'm curious on why it's just 1995-1999. I'd extend that from 1993-2001.
More like 1991 to 2001. Seriously, 1991 and 1992 folks are not that different.

Well... aren't 1993-1995 babies mostly late 90s/early-mid 2000s kids? So, they're barely 90s kids. If I were born around that era, especially 1995, then I'll rather be more nostalgic towards the 2000s. Despite having some memories of the late 90s, it's not enough. Plus, it would be the same compared to 2000-2002.
Not enough? ??? What do you mean by that? Most folks my age range can recall the late 90s even if they don't remember everything about the era.

A lot of those kids born in 1995 to 1999 are in College now, late high school, at the youngest.
I know!!! It's crazy ;D :D. Some of them will be graduating college next year earning their BS and moving on to a Master's if continue on.

Yeah, but the thread is asking if people born 1995-1999 care at all for the 90s or do they think it's outdated. People born 1993-1995 were the target age for a lot of late 90s pop culture, it would be strange if they thought, say, the N64 was outdated in 1998 :o

And people born 2000/2001 did not exist in the 90s. It was physically "before their time" ;D
This so much! I never thought the N64 was outdated by then since it was still in its prime for a few more years. Furthermore, I would expand that range to 1991-95 for a reason. We all seem to have a lot in common looking at what we grew up with and how we are nostalgic about it.

BTW, a 2000 baby did exist in the 90s. They were in their mom's tummy in 1999 since they were conceived that year.

Wait, you mean early 00s like 2004 right? Is that what you mean by 2nd half of the early 00s? (Are you dividing them in halves?)

But some of the latter were in stage by 2004 and the former were early 00s kids as well. I've seen 1991 and 1992 people be nostalgic about that period. I understand they don't have much in common with the 1996-97 folks, but they definitely have similarities with the 1993-95 crowd.

They did though since they were in school at age 4, but that doesn't mean they don't remember everything else about that period. I've seen folks say they recall not just kid fads, but even some events such as the 1998 Winter Olympics, Y2K, and MJ's 2nd 3peat.

Most 1997 born's I know talk about the culture from late 2002/2003 and onwards, so they still have some early 2000's influence in them, although yes they are mostly mid 2000's without a doubt. 1990 born's feels more like kids of the late 90's than early 2000's IMO, but there's no doubt they have the right to claim the early 2000's as important to their childhood if they want to.

1. I started watching Pokemon with the Kanto and Johto regions on Boomerang during the mid 2000s. I never even heard of the Hoenn regions until 2010.

2. Well, I played with both a GBA and GBA SP, although I didn't own either of them.

3. Neither because I'm not a fan of Dragonball Z.

4. I loved Mario Party 2 and 3, especially with the plots and such. MP1 seems rather lame.

5. "Gimme More" was probably the first Britney Spears song that I heard. So yeah. But who says I'm the only mid-late 2000s kid who's taking this, eh?

6. Neither because I never watched Yu-Gi-Oh.

You really don't remember that fad? It was everywhere in 2000 with almost everything having a Pokémon finish.

I noticed a bunch of people with Looney Tunes shirts, stamps and merchandise around 1999-2001 though. When I looked at Pokemon creatures as a toddler, I didn't know it was called "Pokemon", I thought it was just random creatures. I didn't realize it was called "Pokemon" until 2001 or 2002. I just looked at it as colorful monsters.

In our country I believe Maajin Buu started in late 2001 and Kid Buu started in late 2002. I'm still not 100% sure though. I didn't keep up with Sagas when I was watching the Dragon Ball series from 2002-2005, I just watched it for fun. I wasn't all that deep into it. Same goes for Pokemon, I didn't care whether it was Indigo, Johto, Advanced, or whatever, I just treated it as a regular cartoon.

The mid-2000s ended in September 2006 though. You were the same age at the end of the mid-2000s as I was at the end of the 90s. ;D

1997 aren't early 2000s kids, at least the ones I've talked to. 1990-1992 are though. What's your definition of preteen though? Because if it's 10-12, then I was a preteen in 2003.

How I put it:
1990 - Late '90s
1991 - Late '90s with some early '00s
1992 - Late '90s/early '00s hybrid
1993 - Early '00s with some late '90s
1994 - Early '00s
1995 - Early '00s with some mid '00s
1996 - Early/Mid '00s hybrid
1997 - Mid '00s
1998 - Mid '00s with some late
1999 - Mid/Late '00s hybrid
2000 - Late '00s
2001 - Late '00s with some early '10s
2002 - Late '00s/Early '10s Hybrid

Although keep in mind that this a very rigid pattern. People can claim any time period if they think it was important enough to their childhood. Someone from 1997 did have their early childhood (and some core) in the early 2000s due to being 3 in 2000 and 6 by the end of 2003 and 12 by the end of 2009 which would make them the perfect 2000s kid due to having their childhood in the entire decade.

They relate to anyone around their age. I've had friends who were 1 grade above me AND below me. It's all up to you. In my school years I were with kids from 1988/1989 and 1991/1992 with me being from 1990. But due to growing up with the same stuff we ended up relating pretty well.

That gives late 90s folks enough time to be part of the Pokémania fad since they were already kids towards the end of it.

Yeah, my best friend's little brother is born 1997 (I've known him since he was a baby). He doesn't remember the N64 era in 2000/2001 even though me and his brother talk about it 24/7 lol. He remembers the Yugioh early 2000s (late 2002ish) a little bit. But when me and his brother are talking about the early 2000s, he draws a blank, so it's hard for me to consider him a early 2000s kid if he can't keep up the conversation.

I have a cousin born late 1995 and I consider him plain 2000s kid (2001-2007 looks like his childhood). He remembers the latter Y2K era.

That's interesting because, as an '87er, I do consider myself a marginal early '90s kid. My memories of 1990/1991 are pretty spotty, but 1992 and early 1993 are decently clear. I can remember the TMNT fad quite well, in addition to some residual late '80s stuff that was still lingering like Care Bears, Real Ghostbusters, Saved by the Bell, Teddy Ruxpin and the NES.

On the other hand, you can't really expect a '97er to be able to remember the N64 just because I remember the NES since the latter console had a much longer life cycle. The NES was still being sold in stores as late as 1995 (a full ten years after it's launch) whereas the N64 was already pretty well phased out by the Gamecube by early 2003.

I don't remember a thing about 1990 at all.

I remember buying a Maggie Simpson doll :-X :-X at a garage sale, in early 1993. I have memories of 1992, but it's sketchy. Just a little here, and there.

That's interesting because, as an '87er, I do consider myself a marginal early '90s kid. My memories of 1990/1991 are pretty spotty, but 1992 and early 1993 are decently clear. I can remember the TMNT fad quite well, in addition to some residual late '80s stuff that was still lingering like Care Bears, Real Ghostbusters, Saved by the Bell, Teddy Ruxpin and the NES.

On the other hand, you can't really expect a '97er to be able to remember the N64 just because I remember the NES since the latter console had a much longer life cycle. The NES was still being sold in stores as late as 1995 (a full ten years after it's launch) whereas the N64 was already pretty well phased out by the Gamecube by early 2003.

One of my cousins was born in late 1997 and remembers the N64 very well, including Super Mario 64, because when her mom (my aunt) used to live with her dad (my uncle), she had half brothers who used to play that console throughout the late 90's and early 2000's, and she knew how to play it too. It's possible for 4 & 5 year old's to be really good at E rated games because one of my sister's born in 2003 could play Mario Kart DS very well at age 3 and 4. So it's possible. Everyone born in the 2nd half of the 90's could remember the N64 in its prime if they had older siblings who played it. I grew up as the oldest brother and my first console was a Gamecube. I remember the N64 but I never owned one. Most of my memories of the N64 has been when it was past its prime anyway, including playing some on the Wii Virtual console.

TBH, with me, being the oldest brother, having 3 younger sisters and growing up with all female cousins didn't help me get into a lot of pop culture at all growing up as a kid. :-\\

I know many people my age who have older brothers and have male cousins, and their experiences were completely different than me including getting into a lot of pop culture at an early age. :o

My parents bought an NES in 1995 (or 1996?) myself ;D One of my earliest memories is my dad teaching me how to play Duckhunt. I had to stand on a sofa, because I was too short to aim at the TV.

But you remember 1992 clearly? Weren't you 4 years old a good chunk of the year? :o I can remember 1997 somewhat but it was still a toddler mentality, eating grass and drawing on walls stuff. I'm more into late 1998 onwards.

I remember being at a place where they gave away free clothes for new immigrants, in the spring of 1991. I think it was a Goodwill. This is my earliest memory. I was only 2, maybe 2 1/2.

I don't remember a thing about 1990 at all.

I remember buying a Maggie Simpson doll :-X :-X at a garage sale, in early 1993. I have memories of 1992, but it's sketchy. Just a little here, and there.

So my memory didn't become clear until 1993.

No, I'm seriously not joking here, my cousin born in late 1997 legitimately played the N64 in its prime with her brothers, even my 2003 born sister played the Nintendo DS/Lite in its prime too (not counting the DSi or 3DS). Doesn't mean they were kids of those main time periods though. It was part of their early childhoods obviously. Had I had an older brother or sister the N64 would have probably been my first console in its prime.

My memories were really clear at age 4. I remember one or two flashes of 1997 and a bunch of bits of 1998. 1999 is the first year I had the most clear memories. But of naturally of course as you get older the more memories you have.

In 1993, I was 4 until November. Between a 0 and a 10, on how clear my memory was in 1993, I would give it a 5 out of 10. So yes, for me, there's still blurriness.

Same here. I didn't get my own NES until 1995, when my parents brought one on sale at Wal-Mart with Super Mario Bros. 3 packed in for, like, $70 as a birthday gift. Up until that point I just played the NES at the houses of my various cousins and friends that already had one. It's really amazing how long after it's launch the NES was still easy to find in stores.

Yeah, I was 4 until July '92. I wouldn't say that I remember the year as a whole "clearly", but there are certain things from that year (like my 5th birthday party, my first day of kindergarten, playing with my little brother/cousins, etc.) that I can recall quite well. I have an unusually good memory, though. I can, for instance, remember my brother being born in May 1991 with some clarity, even though I was still a few weeks shy of turning 4.

But, the only things I can remember from those early years are personal memories. I have no recollection of world events or pop culture until 1994.

And people born 2000/2001 did not exist in the 90s. It was physically "before their time" ;D

Some people born in 2000 would have been in the womb in 1999, if that counts. Technically, they were alive in the 90's. :P

...as later '90s babies, felt the same way about the '90s that I did about the '80s as a later '80s baby.

I feel the same way about the 90's. I was born in 1999, however I wish I could have experienced the 90's as a child. Admittedly, I have always had an affection towards the decade. A lot of the things I grew up with, in the Early & Mid 2000's, were from the 90's and the 90's would be my favourite decade for music.

True. Especially when they share some influences from late 90s babies. They could also have vague memories of the early 2000s.

In my opinion, there are very few differences between someone born in the Late 90's (especially 1999) and someone born in 2000. People born in 2000 are the only Early 2000's babies that I can relate with really well. I can relate to some people born in 2001, however there are a few more noticeable differences.

In regards to people born in 2000, I believe it's quite possible that many of them do have vague memories of the Early 2000's. On a personal note, two of my closest friends were born in 2000 and I remember one of them told me once that 2002 is the earliest that they can remember.

No.

If you watched Pokémon during...
1) Kanto - early 2000s kid
2) Johto - early 2000s kid
3) Both - ultimate early 2000s kid
4) Hoenn - ew

If you had a...
1) Gameboy Color - ultimate early 2000s kid
2) Original Gameboy Advance - kid during the early 2000s peak
3) Gameboy Advance SP - beat it
4) All three - winner

When did you start watching DBZ
1) Freiza or Cell - you're an ultimate early 2000s kid
2) Maajin Buu - you're a partial early 2000s kid
3) Kid Buu - your credentials are iffy
4) Dragon Ball GT -

Favourite Mario Party?
1) Mario Party 1 - why
2) Mario Party 2 or 3 - ultimate early 2000s kid
3) Mario Party 4 - opinions can be wrong
4) Other - Snapchat generation
5) Didn't play any - no childhood detected

First Britney Spears song you heard
1) Baby One More Time - ultimate early 2000s kid
2) Oops! I Did It Again - partial early 2000s kid
3) Other - probably a late 2000s kid tbh

When did you stop watching Yugioh
1) After Duelist Kingdom - Smart early 2000s kid
2) After Battle City - ultimate early 2000s kid
3) After the Noah arc - delete it fat
4) Later - you'll love this game called Superman 64

Sheik is a...
1) Boy - ultimate early 2000s kid
2) Girl - partial early 2000s kid
3) Actually, Sheik is Zelda - not an early 2000s kid
4) Who is Sheik? - None of your business

The scariest character in Majora's Mask is...
1) Majora's Moon / Skull kid / Pedo guy who sells the masks - partial early 2000s kid
2) Tingle - full early 2000s kid
3) Fairy with the pointy boobs - ultimate early 2000s kid
4) The whole game was f*cked up - right answer
5) Didn't play that - get to it.

What else is there? ;D

1. I only liked Pokemon for a short period of time in 2009, when I was 10 years old. I have never really liked it, to be honest.
2. Gameboy Advance SP. I received it as a Christmas present in December 2003. :) However, I do also own a Gameboy Colour as well. I purchased it off ebay in 2010.
3. Don't like Dragon Ball Z, so neither.
4. Don't have a particular favourite, to be honest.
5. Oops...I Did It Again, out of the three. I can remember OIDIA from my early childhood. Toxic is the first Britney Spears song that I can vividly remember, however that was released in 2004. I remember when Toxic was first released, so that's probably why.
6. Never liked Yu-Gi-Oh.

How I put it:
1990 - Late '90s
1991 - Late '90s with some early '00s
1992 - Late '90s/early '00s hybrid
1993 - Early '00s with some late '90s
1994 - Early '00s
1995 - Early '00s with some mid '00s
1996 - Early/Mid '00s hybrid
1997 - Mid '00s
1998 - Mid '00s with some late
1999 - Mid/Late '00s hybrid
2000 - Late '00s
2001 - Late '00s with some early '10s
2002 - Late '00s/Early '10s Hybrid

Great list! :)

I have a question, which is similar to NewYorkEagle's. Do you believe people born in the early proportion of the year (January-April) would be related more to people born in the previous year or people born later on in their birthyear? For instance, I was born in March 1999, but would I be more related to Late 1998 babies (or people born in 1998, in general) and would that make me more of a Mid 2000's kid, as a result, than someone born in the later proportion of the year? I know that it doesn't matter in the scheme of things, but I am interested to hear your opinion on it anyway.

But it's not like all toddlers from the early 2000s (including myself) actually had any toys from Pokemon. I was really into Nick Jr. and Elmo at the time, but that doesn't mean I known what Pokemon was. I think a preschooler or a Kindergartner would possibly be the first ones to know Pokemania around 2003. So basically somebody born in 1998 would be the last ones to vaguely remember Pokemania. I think Pokemon maybe attractable towards toddlers, but I think that's because of how there's so many cute ones out there. I wish I would've known what Pokemon was during the early 2000s, but I was rather more of an Elmo kind of guy as a toddler.

It depends. I kinda have a clear memory by age 5, but that's because I probably had a lot of happy moments during that year. Which is why I love 2005 so much, as it was awesome in my personal life and pop culture wise.

Yeah, it seems like around age 7 or 8 is when most kids really start becoming aware of the world around them in a big way. I've heard that from several friends and family members I've asked about this as well.

I would agree that even at that age, while you might be aware of world events, you don't really have a full grasp on what's happening quite yet. Like you, I was about 11 before I truly had a decent understanding of what was going on in the world. I'd say the Columbine shooting was the first world event that I was truly able to grasp the magnitude of.

So basically somebody born in 1998 would be the last ones to vaguely remember Pokemania.

I think so, just as I feel that kids born in 1988 are the last ones that can remember the TMNT fad who's peak of popularity (1988-1993) matches up almost exactly with Pokemon's peak of popularity (1998-2003).

Maybe around 7-11, you could probably grasp about the actual world and crap. The first time that I remembered something politically was the 2008 presidential election, which I could understand was really historic because the United States never had a non-white president before. Although, the first time that I got worried over something from the news was when the 2009 swine flu outbreak happened. I even asked a doctor when my dad was in a hospital if I was going to get the swine flu, and he replied with "It's not going to happen to you".

Yes, most people have their first blurry memory around age 3, maybe 2 1/2 at the earliest. And most, by age 6/7, is when their memories are pretty clear.

It may seem kinda long for my first memory. It was around the summer of 2002 (at least I could tell it happened around that year), and my parents were visiting one of their friends' house to see some newborn baby. I remember my dad going to take me to some playground, and I had some fun with him.

Yeah, it seems like around age 7 or 8 is when most kids really start becoming aware of the world around them in a big way. I've heard that from several friends and family members I've asked about this as well.

I would agree that even at that age, while you might be aware of world events, you don't really have a full grasp on what's happening quite yet. Like you, I was about 11 before I truly had a decent understanding of what was going on in the world. I'd say the Columbine shooting was the first world event that I was truly able to grasp the magnitude of.

So for you two around 2nd grade is when you feel like your memories were crystallized? That's cool. Yeah, honestly I don't see any difference between a 6, 7, or 8 year old, but that's just me. I've grown up with my cousins and family and most of us memories crystallized around age 5 1/2, 6, or 7. While some of y'all might disagree, I think 2002 was one of the most impacting years of my life, despite being only 6 at the time. I learned so much about life skills throughout that year and a lot of kid culture too. I also remember watching Ice Age, Spider-Man, Lilo & Stitch, and Spy Kids 2 in the theaters when I was 6, plus being the ring bearer at my aunts wedding in summer 2002 was one of the most fun experiences ever, including getting on a limousine and dancing to the Cha-Cha slide at the reception. All of those events I remember 100% clearly, no vague areas at all. So age 6 is when my memories were definitely 100% crystallized. Therefore, I define age 6-10 as my peak childhood in all honesty. While age 11 in 2007 is when I became fully aware of the world events around me and the mainstream pop culture.

It could be possible that a toddler would love Pokemon during the early 2000s, but I don't know if they could remember Pokemon at all during that time. I could remember stuff from 2002/2003, but they were rather more vague than any of my memories. Hell, I could see my 2004 memories more clear than my early 2000s ones. Despite being 4/5 at the time. But I think that's because I wasn't so occupied with Sesame Street, so I could thank somebody for that.

Well I was talking about the late 90s folks in general. You may not remember Pokémon as much since you truly didn't care about the fad, but that doesn't mean others your age range did not either.

Doesn't that also depends on what type of world event it is? I can see kids remembering and understanding events such as non-political ones and something that's local in their region.

Will that also work for the peak of the Power Ranger trend? It was still popular up until 1998/99 before Pokémon took over its spot.

That's partly it, but also, most at that age don't care too much.
I say it depends though. Say for example, there was a NFL game, Kids would know about it and understand it quite well. I say for non-political events, the age to grasp it is much lower than the political ones.

Well, you could be right. I had a friend who was born in 1999, but he was probably into Pokemon more than me since he had an older brother. He also had a Game Boy Color, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and a Gamecube, which I thought were really old. Even when I went to their house for a sleepover in 2009, I thought their house was the best.

Same here. I didn't get my own NES until 1995, when my parents brought one on sale at Wal-Mart with Super Mario Bros. 3 packed in for, like, $70 as a birthday gift. Up until that point I just played the NES at the houses of my various cousins and friends that already had one. It's really amazing how long after it's launch the NES was still easy to find in stores.

Yeah, I was 4 until July '92. I wouldn't say that I remember the year as a whole "clearly", but there are certain things from that year (like my 5th birthday party, my first day of kindergarten, playing with my little brother/cousins, etc.) that I can recall quite well. I have an unusually good memory, though. I can, for instance, remember my brother being born in May 1991 with some clarity, even though I was still a few weeks shy of turning 4.

But, the only things I can remember from those early years are personal memories. I have no recollection of world events or pop culture until 1994.

Yes! :D I think I got the same one. I had Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3, Duckhunt, Bomberman, the original Mario Bros.*, Track & Field, Road Fighter, Soccer, some game of billiards and a game where I was water skiing.

*I used to bully my brother to force him to play that game with me haha. That game was like crack.

My parents also bought an Atari from the flea market :o #Only80sKids

Oh I see. Yeah, usually around the time you learn how to read at 6/7 is when you can actually start more easily participate in pop culture. Before that, I mean, I had an Atari and I didn't even know the N64 existed ;D

Well, that depends. I can understand with political incidents, but when it comes to non-political events, then the age is lower. Many people begin to be part of pop culture by age 3/4.

That kinda sucks. Being 10 and having barely any clear memories has got to be sad, especially when they don't have that much of a childhood. Or maybe they find their adolescence to be better. You can't really do a lot of cool stuff in your childhood, aside from being careless, playing with toys, and other kinds of stuff. You can't really watch R-rated movies unless you have a parent or guardian with you. Same goes with TV-MA shows, but usually anyone's parents wouldn't allow them to watch that stuff. You also have to go bed early (usually 8pm or 9pm), so that you could wake up to school or church. That may seem like a first world problem, since third world countries don't really seem to have a lot of resources that first world countries (especially the U.S. and Canada) can find easily.

Actually, here in the U.S. kids start reading in Kindergarten around age 5/6. First quarter of Kindergarten, we reviewed our ABC's, 2nd quarter of Kindergarten we started reading basic words including the days of the week and months of the year, then the 3rd & 4th quarters of Kindergarten we were reading basic level books. So I still think 5 1/2 or 6 is the average age most kids get into the pop culture, which is why it's a good starting point for core childhood.

IMO it's around age 5, 6, or 7 when most people's memories crystallize on average. However, memories crystallizing at age 4 is unusual and early to me, while memories not crystallizing until age 8 is late as hell in my opinion.

I've also noticed that some people's definition of memories crystallizing is not the same. IMO when I say my memories crystallized at age 6, I mean it's the first year I can remember very well with events that happened in my family, the first year I can recall the pop culture geared towards kids and participated in it, and the first full year of my core childhood.

I can tell with some people, just because their core childhood started at age 5 or 6 doesn't mean their memories crystallized at that time. Some people think their memories didn't crystallize until later in their core childhood at age 8 or 9. Some people think your memories don't crystallize until age 9, 10, or 11 because they say it's when you get into the mainstream pop culture (not kid) and you're fully aware of world/political events around you, which kids under 10/11 don't care about.

So I can say that each of the 90s fads had a span of popularity of 5 years targeting a chunk of Millennials. Oh yeah, they might not recall the original PRs, but definitely the ones after. My friends and I remember the rangers as we either had them as costumes for Halloween or we had the toys.

I made a scale. #YouKnowYou'reAnEarly2000sKidWhen... Take my Buzzfeed quiz!!

Sheik is a...
1) Boy - ultimate early 2000s kid
2) Girl - partial early 2000s kid
3) Actually, Sheik is Zelda - not an early 2000s kid
4) Who is Sheik? - None of your business

The scariest character in Majora's Mask is...
1) Majora's Moon / Skull kid / Pedo guy who sells the masks - partial early 2000s kid
2) Tingle - full early 2000s kid
3) Fairy with the pointy boobs - ultimate early 2000s kid
4) The whole game was f*cked up - right answer
5) Didn't play that - get to it.

What else is there? ;D

Sheik is...
Zelda, obviously.

Pretty much any character in Majora's Mask is rather f*cked up in a way.

Oh, absolutely. I can remember the Storm of the Century in March 1993 very clearly despite still being a 5-year-old at the time since that storm impacted the area I lived in greatly. It's pretty common for kids to remember major events at the ages of 4-5-6 if it's something that had some kind of personal impact on them.

Yeah, I could see a kid born in 1993 remembering the Power Ranger fad. Not when it was at it's absolute peak in 1994-95, of course, but during the later Zeo/Turbo/Space years of 1996-98.

Good selection. I had several of those same games as well, along with Metroid, SMB 2, Dr. Mario, Excitebike, Contra and TMNT 1 and 2. Duckhunt is mega addictive. That game still owns my soul. I can play it to this day and still get as hooked in it as I did as a 7-year-old.

I love looking for retro gaming stuff at flea markets, because you never know what you might find. Back in 2007 I came across one of these very rare bad boys at a local flea market for just $30 and I couldn't pass it up.

You probably have to be a certain age to play Yugioh, like 8-12 between 2001-2005. It requires multiplication and subtracting big numbers etc. Almost every early 2000s male kid played it, it was a huge part of early 2000s kid culture.

And yeah, my friend's little brother born 1997 played it too. When he was 6 and I beat him at it, he took the TV show literally and ripped his rarest card up. So much facepalm.

I'm something of a retro gaming collector. Not on the same level as James Rolfe or anything, but I like buying old consoles/games when I come across them. I just had to get the Odyssey² when I found it that day because of how uncommon it is to find second generation consoles these days. In fact, the Odyssey² is the only pre-NES console other than the Atari 2600 that I've even seen at a flea market.

I still watched Power Rangers religiously up through Zeo. The whole subplot involving the debut of the Gold Ranger was legit one of the most epic moments of my childhood. I stopped watching Power Rangers in 1997 during the Turbo era, though.

Also, random question, but since you remembering watching PR in 1996-97, I wondered if you also remembered the short-lived Big Bad Beetleborg fad from that same time period?

Yeah, that sounds about right. I was just a little bit too old for the Yugioh fad by about 2 years or so, but I was certainly aware of it during the early '00s. My 1991 born brother on the other hand was a huge fan. He seems like about the perfect age to have gotten into it.

I'm probably an exception though, since I was ahead of everybody in math. I learned my addition and subtraction in Kindergarten/1st grade and I learned all of my multiplication tables in 1st grade. So I probably could have had enough knowledge to play the Yu-Gi-Oh card game since late 2002, but too bad I was never into the franchise.

People tell me that I knew how to read numbers on the back of people's car tags when I was 2 years old. Math has always been my strength in school. I'd say the only math class I ever struggled in was AP Statistics my sophomore year of HS. The Geometry portion of 9th grade math was tricky for me too but I eventually got it though. Right now I'm in Calculus II in college but I want to take a lot more advanced math classes soon when I transfer over, maybe a math major will be good for me although I want my bachelor's in computer engineering too.

That's super cool! I know a couple of people so collect retro games, their houses are like museums, I need a tour every time lol. They collect 3rd-6th Gen games though, I've never met anyone who collects 1st/2nd Gen games. That's pretty cool!

That looks vaguely familiar. I might be confusing it for Animorphs though.

I would have thought practically every boy born 1990-1998 would have played it, but by this thread it doesn't look that popular among the second half of 90s babies, unless they had early 90s siblings.

Yeah, that's likely because it's so hard to find pre-NES consoles, even in flea markets, antique stores and things like that. It was sort of a perfect storm for many of those consoles to become forgotten. The most popular 2nd gen consoles (Intellivision, ColecoVision, and the 2600) were largely taken off store shelves following the Crash of '83, so they did not have nearly as long a shelf like as later consoles have had. More obscure 2nd gen consoles like the Atari 5200, the Odyssey² and the Vectrex sold 1 million units or less and are even harder to find.

First generation consoles are nothing more than the original Magnavox Odyssey and a handful of obscure Pong ripoffs. I've never seen one of these in my life, and doubt I ever will.

What you describe sounds more like Animorphs (which was an awesome Silver Age Nickelodeon show, btw 8)). Big Bad Beetleborgs was essentially a straight-up Power Rangers knockoff about kids fighting fake looking monsters in power suits. They even had their own version of Zordon in the form of Flabber. ::)

Yeah, the last year I was in public school (2010), people played Yu-Gi-Oh, but I've only seen a couple episodes of any anime shows before (one part of a Kirby episode, part of one Pokémon episode, and then some Sonic tv show), so I never was interested either.

Hmm, the My Melody character reminds me of the Hello Kitty show I watched when I was 5 ;D I guess that's the only anime I watched several episodes on, my brother and I watched it with my sister a lot back then.

We had one tv and a VCR, we would watch something every night with each other before we went to bed. We would each choose something every night, and on a lot of nights where my sister got to choose, we watched Hello Kitty.

I tried reading the description on Wikipedia, and I can't tell what genre it is, what type is it?

Well, My Melody and Hello Kitty were both made by Sanrio.

We had one tv and a VCR, we would watch something every night with each other before we went to bed. We would each choose something every night, and on a lot of nights where my sister got to choose, we watched Hello Kitty.

That seems cute. I grew up as an only child, so I had my TV time for myself. Sometimes I would watch with my parents as a kid, but that's only if they watch something family friendly. We had two TVs, but one of them had a VCR and a DVD player. I would usually watch something on TV, but sometimes I would go watch some VHS tapes that my parents had. They were really good times for me. This was probably before I heard about YouTube in 2007. So I think maybe around late 2004 to 2006 I would do this. But my mom left me alone and went upstairs so I could have my free time happily when I was about 5 and a half.

It's a children's anime.

You should try it though, it's a lot of fun! Although I don't know why anyone would still buy new cards in the year of our Lord 2016, the video games made that obsolete. The Xbox 360 games are pretty good. I used to play it in high school with my friends on voice chat, a lot of fun. You should try it ;D

That seems cute. I grew up as an only child, so I had my TV time for myself. Sometimes I would watch with my parents as a kid, but that's only if they watch something family friendly. We had two TVs, but one of them had a VCR and a DVD player. I would usually watch something on TV, but sometimes I would go watch some VHS tapes that my parents had. They were really good times for me. This was probably before I heard about YouTube in 2007. So I think maybe around late 2004 to 2006 I would do this. But my mom left me alone and went upstairs so I could have my free time happily when I was about 5 and a half.

Well, we did have another tv, but yeah, that was for our parents and gaming. We had only one that we actually watched VHS on. Yeah, I mainly watched VHS tapes a lot from like early 2003 to around 2005. I started watching DVDs then and still do, although I watch Blu-Ray discs now too. I started watching YouTube in like late 2006 or early 2007.

Same with me, although the other TV didn't have a VCR or DVD player plugged into it. So, we just used the other TV to watch it. I also use DVDs for nostalgic purposes.

That's pretty cool that you guys were exposed to VHS. I thought after 2004/2005 it was pretty much extinct.

I thought it was already extinct around 2008/2009, when people stopped using them and threw them away.

I thought it was used regularly throughout the decade until I told people I used it a lot when I was a kid during the mid 2000s in 2012.

Same with me. Although, I think some people that I know still used VHS tapes until the late 2000s. Even my elementary school still used them until 5th grade.

I was using VHS on a daily/weekly basis until as recently as 2010.

It's not really my sort of thing, to be honest. I never played/liked the Power Rangers or He-man, however I played with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back in 2003 and 2004. I used to own the figurines of Rafael, Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, April and Splinter. :P With that being said, I didn't grow up watching the Late 80's animated series. I watched the 2003 TV series of TMNT, instead. As for Early 2000's kid culture, I pretty much caught the tail-end of it really. I pretty much grew up with this strange mixture of 90's, Early 2000's and Mid 2000's kid stuff. :P

I can relate to all of this except for not liking Power Rangers (and having TMNT figures ;D), after (I think I only played T-Ball in 2003) T-Ball practice, we would always go rent a Power Rangers VHS tape from the local movie store. I loved them when I was really young, but haven't seen any of the Power Rangers shows or movies I used to watch in over 10 years now.

2003 was the first full year DVD's became more popular than VHS tapes, any time before that VHS was still more common in the majority of people's homes. I was only 7 in 2003 and I noticed DVD's being exploded and more advertised everywhere throughout the year. VHS wasn't completely dead until 2006, but around 2003-2005 it still wasn't that common anymore IMO which is why I still consider 2003-2005 to be firmly DVD years as well as the rest of the 2000's. My family only had VHS/VCR from 2001 & earlier, and in 2002 we got our first DVD player.

They were already using DVD players since the early 2000s.

During 2010 and 2011, I used a DVD Recorder to record things off TV. Since 2012, however, I have used USBs. With that being said, I have owned a DVD player since 2003 or 2004.

I myself owned a DVD player for a couple of years now but I haven't used it for a while.
