IMO, yes. Look at me. I'm the ultimate '90s person. I sometimes play Windows 95 games, watch old '90s shows, and remenice about the '90s. But now I'm reading that people born around here aren't really '90s people. I've talked to other 16/17 year olds and they're '90s people as well. Although, the majority of them are '00s people. This should belong in the Child/Teen of the '90s topic, but still.

What a "'90s person" anyway? I'm personally kind of both ('90s and '00s person) I guess.

We born in the very late '80s/very early '90s, like 1989 or 1990, are '90s kids and '00s teens.

There's a lot of people around your age that still love the things from their childhood in the '90s, but they're very much into the '00s as well.

It's fair to say if 1981ers and '82ers (like me ;) ) are '80s people, then by all means a 1990er is a '90s person (in fact, they'd be the prime late '90s kids). Just because the '80s died a quick death. The '90s and '00s have their differences too, but the '90s never had a backlash the way the '80s did, so they're even more "easygoing" datewise, IMO.

Definitely would be a '90s child'. I was born in 1979 and I definitely consider myself an '80s child'.

Yeah, anyone born in the late '80s is defidently a "'90s child".

I was born in May of 1990, and I really don't consider myself as a full 90's person, becuase I feel like I was too young to experience the pop culture.  I didn't even listen to the radio and watch MTV till I was about 10 or 11 (around 2001).  I do remember many 90s kids movies, watchin them over and over again...But in terms of pop culture andknowing what's going on around me, I have to call myslef an 00's person...but I still am a big fan of the 90s (proubly the most diverse decade of them all).

Yes, I don't think most born in 89/90 can truly call themselves '90s kids.' Sure they were, but not to the extent someone my age is. Few kids below age 10 are really into popular musical and fashion trends - although this is fast changing - sticking mainly to 'Children's music', toys, video games.etc

I think that the people born from 1988-1990 like myself are mid-late '90s kids. It sort of rounds out, because while we weren't really old enough for the early '90s at all, people born before 1988 who were '90s kids were too old for alot of the 1998ish stuff that we got into.

Yeah, that's right. I'm a mid-'90s kid, but I do have some early '90s influences. Semi with the late '90s. Don't care much for those years.

Yeah...we have to be '90s kids, we most definitely aren't '00s kids. I associate almost nothing with my childhood from the '00s, I was out of my "cartoon years" by 2000. Primarily mid-late '90s, of course...I think my absolute immediate age group is people born like 1988-1990.

Stop trying to sidestep the question, James. I'm putting forward the very reasonable argument that we had a better appreciation and remembered these things better than someone your age. What do you say to THAT?

Yes, you did.

Yes, you did.




But I don't see why you care so much. I think we Gen Yers are incredibly defensive of our childhood '90s years. However, I could also make the converse argument I appreciated the kids' culture of like 1998 or 1999 better, since you were basically a teenager by then.

Yes, but 1998/99 was basically psuedo-00s culture anyway. I'd rather be familiar with the core culture of the mid-90s than the teen-pop dominated late 90s. Which would you prefer?  8)

It sort of was...but it was really nothing like '00s kids culture. '00s kids culture is like, nonexistent. Yeah, you did appreciate more c. 1995ish stuff, but I think it's out of line for you to say I'm not a '90s kid...I'm definitely not an '00s kid, anyway. I balk at Spongebob Squarepants.

Yeah, my final word is that you're a 90s/00s cusp kid, but if you have to pick one you ARE a 90s kid, just not a core 90s kid. That's what I'd argue. I disagree with those who say the umbrella of a 'core or peak 90s' kid extends to a 90er. Sure, many 90ers with older siblings/friends were pretty much like those born in earlier years, but if you remove those factors, then  a 1990er is still very much a cusp kid.

I'm on James' side, but I'm not going to start any arguments so I'll keep my mouth shut.

I don't remember much '90s pop culture. Believe it or not, I do however remember bits and pieces of grunge. Around 1994 or 1995, I especially listened to the Eagels and Peter, Paul & Mary.

How? I don't remember any '00s kids culture. I was too old for all of it. Even the stuff from when I was like 10 in 2000.

I was still into kids culture until about 11 or 12, though everybody's different I guess.

You only really start to lose touch with kids culture at age 12. Sure, it may have been different from you, but I'd wager most 90ers would still have been into Pokemon spinoffs and Harry Potter in 2003.

The true '90s people are born before about 1983 or so, that's the totally '90s people. I'm probably more of an '00s person overall as an '87er but the '90s were definitely a part of my growing up as well.

Not really. Anyone who actually still played Pokemon at my school in 2003 would've been eviscerated as a giant, giant loser. As someone who actually is a 90er, I'm going to "wager" most of us really weren't. As I said, anyone who actually still cared about Pokemon by the time we were in 7th or 8th grade would've been considered a LOSER, with a capital L. Actually, by the time we were in 5th or 6th grade, Pokemon was for losers. And there're alot of people your age who're still sort of into Harry Potter.

Earlier this year, I told the class that I was a big fan of the '90s. Another person born in May of 1991 said that he didn't like the '90s because he loved the '00s.

In 2003...hmm, most people in my grade liked glam rap and stuff like Pink, Coldplay, etc. Also, alot of people still liked post-grunge and nu metal, stuff like Evanescence and Linkin Park, R&B dance-pop like Jennifer Lopez, and there were still some Smashing Pumpkins/Nirvana fans. And some people who really were into bands like the White Stripes and the Strokes. I remember Coldplay being very big, though.

You obvious had opinions of your own on what a 'loser' was - not that I'm blaming you, but it seems its characteristic of that environment you grew up it. That it pervades the thoughts of all.

I'm just saying, as a '90er, most people who played Pokemon by then were considered dorks. The nerds did other stuff. And I'm saying this as a nerd. I think they liked manga, or something.

My brother was born in May of 1991 :D

But anyway. I think that those born in 1989 or 1990 are defidently '90s kids. If not simply for the fact that they would have been too old to be real '00s kids(spounge bob and shows of that ilk). They may not remember the early '90s very well but they'd get the mid and late '90s and that IMO would make them a '90s kid.

I was born in '88, and in '00 for 12 year olds it was considered a little dorky, but not too dorky to be in them.  By the next year though(7th grade) it definitely became part of Loserville. ;D

I agree they are 90s kids. Just not 'core' 90s kids.

None, really...people were into Manga, Pokemon, and Harry Potter. People were very much so into Manga around 2002 and 2003. I just sort of "was." I liked Nirvana alot.

It was manga and not Pokemon/Digimon that people cared about by 2002 and 2003. Manga was huge in the early '00s, and Japanimation was a big new thing. Pokemon was associated with losers.

You liked Nirvana? Yeah, I went through a Nirvana fad about 03 as well. How did your musical tastes develop over the years? I mean, now you like stuff like Kate Bush, Toris Amos, when did you first listen to these artists in detail?

I went through my Nirvana phase 1999-2001, and I've liked Tori since about the same time. I also liked Everclear, Radiohead, Marcy Playground, and older '60s and '70s music.

My tastes have changed drastically over the years. From pop punk/mainsteam pop/ even some nu-metal and teenpop I'm ashamed to admit, in 1999/2000, to mainly 90s stuff and chart stuff in the very early 00s, and older stuff after 2004. Currently I'm into 60s psychedelia, some New Wave, 60s and 70s soul, cabaret-style rock.etc

I agree they are 90s kids. Just not 'core' 90s kids.


I agree with that.  "Core" '90s kids ends around 1987. 1988-1992ers are the cusp; too old for Spongebob, too young for Ren and Stimpy.

People Born in 1989 and 1990 are not "90's Kids" (Sure, Technically they are because they existed through it, but they hardly remember most of it)

I was Born in November of 1986 and I didn't really start remembering things well until around late 1995 when I turned 9 years old.  For instance, "James" here is claiming to be a Mid/Late 90's guy, and that's not true at all, or else that would apply with everyone else, considering you were only 4, 5 and 6 in the Mid 90's.  That would mean that someone like me would remember 1990, 1991 and 1992 to some extent, and I really don't (Well there are very vivid memories of 1992 from starting Kindergarten, but those memories are far too blurry)

And what's this crap about how your Childhood ended when the 00's began?  That's a bunch of lies.  The "core" of your childhood is from 9-13 years old, which is why my best memories are from 1995-1999 where I really started getting a grasp on things in life and listening to music and stuff like that (aka, the good ole' days)

Take "James" for instance, who was born in April of 1990 (according to him), that means that when the year 2000 began, you were still 9 years old, and 9 years old is pretty much the core/prime of your childhood, as is 10 and 11.

How is it that my memory at 8 years old or before isn't that great, but yours apparently is? even "trimac" says he barely remembers anything from the Early/Mid 90's and he's 20 already.  So how could you remember stuff or even have an appreciation for stuff from the Mid 90's?  The only reason you do now is because you've been Nostalgic for a decade that you were born into, but don't know much about, it's an interesting thing being born at the beginning of a decade, because you hardly remember the majority of it and you end up becoming nostalgic for it, considering you existed through it all, but never quite got a grasp on it as a young kid.

I would say the cutoff date for a real 90's kid is probably around Mid 1987

When I was a kid, I didn't really care what I wore. My aunt bought me a New Kids on the Block T-Shirt, in '90 or '91, When I was 8 or 9, and kids at school snickered at me, and asked me why I was wearing it, lol.

I remember stuff from as far back as 1985. Also, a lot of stuff from 1988, and just about the whole year of 1989, feels like yesterday.

So I guess people's memories vary.

I agree with that.  "Core" '90s kids ends around 1987. 1988-1992ers are the cusp; too old for Spongebob, too young for Ren and Stimpy.


That's actually roughly the parameters of emo...the parameters of core '90s kids is roughly the parameters of nu metal fans. We're "late '90s kids." 

Oh yeah, and how when you are 13 are you actually a child? News to me.

I'm not so sure. I was born in November of 1987 and most of the people around my age(born late '87-early '88) were very much into the "core" '90s kid stuff back then. I remeber back to about 1992(when I started kindergarten) pretty well. I would say that the cut-off should extend to at least the middle of 1988. I would also argue that those born in 1989(who would have turned 13 in 2002) are defidently '90s kids. Perhaps not "core" but still '90s kids.

Would you put 1990ers and 1991ers in the same category as 1989ers?

As has been noted many times before it depends on the individual. I suspect James 'grew up' faster than most - indeed, he says he only 'casually' watched cartoons when he was 11 (they were kids stuff for you, weren't they James?). But I know I can't really IDENTIFY with the zeitgeist of the early 90s - sure I remember them, but to say I appreciated the music.etc at the time would be a straight out lie. I am suspecting MOST born in 1989-1990 would only have a fleeting memory of the mid-90s being only 5 in 1995. 5 for goodness sake! I'm just saying a 'true' or 'core' 90s kid needs SOME appreciation of the early 90s to call themselves such.

I was Born in November of 1986 and I didn't really start remembering things well until around late 1995 when I turned 9 years old.  For instance, "James" here is claiming to be a Mid/Late 90's guy, and that's not true at all, or else that would apply with everyone else, considering you were only 4, 5 and 6 in the Mid 90's.  That would mean that someone like me would remember 1990, 1991 and 1992 to some extent, and I really don't (Well there are very vivid memories of 1992 from starting Kindergarten, but those memories are far too blurry)

And what's this crap about how your Childhood ended when the 00's began?  That's a bunch of lies.  The "core" of your childhood is from 9-13 years old, which is why my best memories are from 1995-1999 where I really started getting a grasp on things in life and listening to music and stuff like that (aka, the good ole' days)

Take "James" for instance, who was born in April of 1990 (according to him), that means that when the year 2000 began, you were still 9 years old, and 9 years old is pretty much the core/prime of your childhood, as is 10 and 11.

How is it that my memory at 8 years old or before isn't that great, but yours apparently is? even "trimac" says he barely remembers anything from the Early/Mid 90's and he's 20 already.  So how could you remember stuff or even have an appreciation for stuff from the Mid 90's?  The only reason you do now is because you've been Nostalgic for a decade that you were born into, but don't know much about, it's an interesting thing being born at the beginning of a decade, because you hardly remember the majority of it and you end up becoming nostalgic for it, considering you existed through it all, but never quite got a grasp on it as a young kid.

I would say the cutoff date for a real 90's kid is probably around Mid 1987


Yes different peoples' memories vary.  I'm an 89'er and I freakin' remember when JURASSIC PARK came out in theaters (this would've been June '93) because I wasn't allowed to see it with my brothers and mom so I had to stay home with my dad, and I remember him mowing the lawn that day, I was 3!!!  But I got to see/love the movie when it came out on video.  I also loved Lion King when it came out.  And I had an obsession with Green Day when I was in kindergarten (in '95)!  And I still like them to this day.  I would also have to agree that it felt like my childhood was way over around '00-'01.  I actually think most people can remember back to when they were 3 or at least 4.

You're like me. I'm an '89er like you. I don't remember when Jurrasic Park came out, but I do remember going to see the Lion King in 1994 when I was 4. Also around that time, I do remember watching a lot of episodes of Home Improvement. I also remember watching a whole lot of Nickeldeon as well. Goes to show you that even if you were little in the early-mid '90s, you're still a '90s kid.

Would you put 1990ers and 1991ers in the same category as 1989ers?



Yeah. '90ers and '91ers IMO are a bit too old to really be '00s kids as they would have stopped paying attention to alot of that type stuff around 2002 or so. I'd say 1989-1991 would fall into the group of being '90s kids but not quite "core" '90s kids.

No doubt, being able to remember both Jurassic Park and the Lion King are good checks for whether you are a true '90s kid', although of course won't apply 100% of the time.

I remember getting Lion King on VHS, and while I don't remember when Jurassic Park came out I watched it all the time.

The memory of watching the 'Lion King' and 'Jurassic Park' in the cinemas are two of my earliest cinema-related memories.

I think 91ers are really right on the line between and '00s kid and '90s kid only turning 9 in 2000, their main kid era would be right around the turn of the millennium.

Yeah, like I said 1991/early '92 is the last year that I would say that someone would be too old to be a full '00s child and even '91ers are split. My brother(born in May of that year) is a pretty big '90s fan and likes alot of stuff from that decade but alot of people in his class(according to him) prefer '00s kid stuff so it's pretty well split.

;D Couldn't agree more.

The '00s are like the '90s, only crappy  ;D

In response to some of the movie related posts, I remember the very first movie I ever saw at a theater. It was Home Alone 2 in 1992. I was 3 years old.

The first movie I ever saw in the theater was the TMNT movie in the summer of 1990. I dont remember it really as I was 3 like you were but I still love the movie.

The '00s are like the '90s, only crappy  ;D


Not really. They're like a modern '80s, only crappy. The attitude of the '90s to the '00s is soooo different.

You are exactly right.

In some ways the '00s are quite '80s-like.

Yeah there are really some similarities.

Yeah, I think in terms of the "attitudes" of pop culture things are much more '80slike, and the attitude of people in general.

Me and all you people here are just doing our part in restoring the '90s by reminicing.

I noticed a lot of people are getting nostalgic for the 80s, so maybe they're trying to "bring them back" now that it's been 2 decades.....maybe the 2010's will be like the 90s(?)  Oooo, I can hardly wait!!  Hehe.  :D

I would say the cutoff date for a real 90's kid is probably around Mid 1987



ok so maybe u started to remember things around 9 years old, but we all have a different memory. some better than others, so whose to say that kids born in 87/88 or whatever year wouldn't remember say as far back as 92/93 when they first started school? I mean, i know you said you can only remember from as far back as when you were 9, but others can probably remember from as far back as 5/6. I dunno, in my case, I have a sister born in '83, one born in '85 while i was born in '88. The things I remember from the decade have been heavily influenced by them since I hung around them for most of my childhood. What they watched, I watched; whatever they did I did; thats just how it was.

I'm not so sure. I was born in November of 1987 and most of the people around my age(born late '87-early '88) were very much into the "core" '90s kid stuff back then. I remeber back to about 1992(when I started kindergarten) pretty well. I would say that the cut-off should extend to at least the middle of 1988. I would also argue that those born in 1989(who would have turned 13 in 2002) are defidently '90s kids. Perhaps not "core" but still '90s kids.



ah, my point exactly.

Yeah, I think having older siblings/friends, or "cooler" parents can get you remembering stuff at an earlier age, or at least liking it more (although it truly does depend on the person).

But I totally believe a 1989er could recall Jurassic Park or something from 1993. I'm an '81er (although an '82er in school terms ;) ) and I remember Huey Lewis and other stuff from 1985.

I think I can remember some grunge because of my big brother and watching certain movies and TV shows. Also, whenever I watch my 8 hour Rugrats marathon tape from late 1994, I can recognize a little more than a handfull of commercials from that era. Also, I can remember as far back as late 1992. You see, I'm gifted with a great memory. I'm about the only 16 year old who can remember the March 1993 Super Storm. I'll post some more memories later.

Totally. I dont consider those born in '88 or '89 to be '00s kids in any way. If you believe that your childhood years end at 13 then an '88er would have been a child for the entire '90s but in the '00s 2000 would have been the last year they lived in before they became a teenager.

'90s aren't '00s kids either!  ;)  In a way, we're more '90s kids than any other age, because we were 0 when the '90s began and 9 when they ended.

Yeah, you guys are defidently '90s kids too. I mean no one would consider a 1980er to be a '90s kid would they? ;)

No way! I was born with the '90s, not in them.

Think of it this way. Us born in '89 and '90 got to experience what the early '90s had for babies/infants, what the mid '90s had for little kids (best part), and what the late '90s had for big kids.

I was born in 1990 and I have memories as far back as 1993 and yes I think people born in 1989 and 1990 are 90s kids

Yeah I always though of 90's kids like this:

Early: b. 1983-1985

Early/Mid: b. 1986

Mid: b. 1987 & 1988

Mid/Late: b. 1989

Late: b. 1990 & 1991


You could also divide it like this:

b. July 1982-August 1984: Older 90's Kids

b. September 1984-June 1990: Core 90's Kids

b. July 1990-June 1992: Younger 90's Kids

OR
Older 90s kids: 1982-1985/86
True 90s kids: Late 1986-1989/90
Younger 90s kids: Late 1990-1991

Yeah, it seems like it was around 2005-06 when I first started seeing this debate pop up online, actually. It is interesting to see how it's shifted over the years, though. When we were arguing about this stuff back in 2006, the debate seemed to mostly center around whether those born in the early '90s babies were "'90s kids", whereas in recent years it seems to have gotten more focused on whether or not mid '90s babies are "'90s kids".

Of course, nowadays the '90s kid stuff seems to be going by the wayside in favor of arguments about who qualifies as being an '00s kid. I guess, ten years later, it's all coming full circle. ;D

Well, they're '90s toddlers/young kids, '00s tweens (FKA pre-teens) and teens, and '10s young adults (Men and Women of the '10s). Remember that during the '90s, we must be fair to account for all demographics, meaning that we have '70s/'80s born (depending on the part of the '90s) teens, '60s/'70s born young adults, '50s/'60s born "mature adults', '40s/'50s born middle-aged adults, '30s/'40s "late middle-aged" adults, '20s-'30s born older adults, and 1900s-10s (with a few remaining 1890s-born) elderly adults.

90's people sounds like some alien race.

Hahaha, most incompetent alien ever! He's your classic 90's/early 00's bully and/or pissed off kid on the internet which is why I love this profile picture so much. I remember when every second kid looked like this. It's from one of my all time favorite webcomics. I used to read this waaaayyyy back in the early 2000's.

It's really weird reading stuff you posted 10 years ago. :o


I'd be proud. Your grammar was on point even back then.

I would say people born in 1990 aren't exactly 90s kids, but really just core mid/Late 90s kids, 1996-1997. I guess hybrids? The finales. Any people born onwards 1993-1995 can't get away with it.

There seemly isn't a better way to put it. The 80s, 90s, 00s kid became such a iconic term that people are too comfortable, adapted to using either. I was going to go with 90s adolescents, but it wasn't what I thought it meant. Adolescents would have been sick to use haha

I was almost embarassed to watch some of the '90s kid' nostalgia videos on YouTube in the late '00s, done by guys who were only in their early to mid teens and clearly '00s kids.  It was an insult to people like me, born in 1985, who really was a '90s kid.

I just say kid or teen of the "insert era here." I still think it's a dumb debate anyways. Who cares if you're a "90s kid" or "00s kid"? Why are people so focused on their childhoods anyway?

Ten years, is just the right length...

Woah these people knew what was up  ;D


I noticed a lot of people are getting nostalgic for the 80s, so maybe they're trying to "bring them back" now that it's been 2 decades.....maybe the 2010's will be like the 90s(?)  Oooo, I can hardly wait!!  Hehe.  :D



Me too! It'll be great! But that also means the 2020's will be a lot like the '00s. :P

You have spoken the truth, my friend. Howard bringing down a fist full of factz.

Yeah, the real 2000's are horrible. 8-P Let's hope the 2020's ignore the 2004-2009 part of that decade.

You seriously just gave me an idea. I never thought of "Person of a era" Amazingly enough.

As for your last sentence, come on, Jordan. Reminiscing is what we do. Like you, I don't see the value in today's culture. Since I'm not exactly a person of the 90s, I remember more of the 2000s. I just as much hate change even though I know it needs to happen. At times, I don't even understand change. Its kind of mind blowing to me, almost unbelievable.

I think it sounds better than the whole "XX kid" thing.

Yeah, you know, I can see your point. I guess childhood has a lot of mystery around it which is why people like to look back at it. That's harmless and I guess it's alright. Fighting about "real 90's kids" is 100% stupid, though. For me, as much as I love the 80's and my childhood, it's 1995-2003 that I reminisce about because that's when I was a teen/young adult and the culture of the time fit me and my interests. I agree about change. That big change in 2003-2004 when the times abandoned the early 00's was huge for me. Things didn't click like they used to when I'd turn on the radio or MTV and really haven't since then. The change is crazy. How only a couple of years can seem so different from each other.

I like 1999-2005 for the same reason, I throw in '99 too though I wasn't officially teen (I was 12) yet I was well aware of the culture. For me it's 2006 that I start losing interest. I'd love to go back to the early '00s especially though.

So people who are born in 1989 and 1990 would be 27 years old.

Someone born in 1989 turns 27 this year and someone born in 1990 turns 26.  ;)

Yeah, the real 2000's are horrible. 8-P Let's hope the 2020's ignore the 2004-2009 part of that decade.


Nah, I think there would be a lot of late 90s babies praising 2004-2009, so there's no way. Besides, we already have a lot of people reminiscing the early 2000s, so why can't they reminisce about the mid-late '00s?

Woah these people knew what was up  ;D


Oh wow! It's funny to think that 10 years of ago people had a similar mentality. I can't wait to see you all in 2026 or even 2036 where we look at all our 2016 posts. I can imagine people in the 2030s being nostalgic for the 2010s. And when people in the 2030s look at these old 2010s post they'd be all "apparently people were nostalgic for the 1980s and 1990s". In the 2020s-2030s You'd have Slowpoke here being all elderly and talking about the old times with the younger members.

They're going to be nostalgic over all the wrong things! Like Miley Cyrus or Call of Duty or some crap 8-P

They should be nostalgic for Gangnam Style

"I remember spending weeks online playing Call of Duty and listening to Miley Cyrus". HA! I can imagine people being nostalgic for these things. For some reason I can imagine tons of people being nostalgic for internet memes. Memes have been around for a while, but the 2010s was when I started seeing tons of memes and even learned about what a meme was.

You'll be having people getting all nostalgic for them John Cena memes that have been popping up everywhere.

Honestly, I'll never be nostalgic for Gangnam Style. I really don't like the song that much, and it also ruined YouTube for me. Ever since Psy was well-known for that obnoxious song, dumb-ass modern music has been plaguing the site, along with the population of gamers that annoy me. The only things that I could enjoy from YouTube is either videos from the 2000s, videos on how some modern stuff sucks, and Undertale fan videos.

I was like a kid when I first heard of popular memes such as "This is Sparta" or "Numa Numa". They were so much better than what they have now.

Psy ruined Youtube for you? I wonder how you felt about the time where almost all youtube videos had the Rick Roll meme in it.

I actually like seeing Rick Roll memes on YouTube. It seemed way cooler than having an overrated K-pop song become the most popular video on YouTube.

Plaguing the site? It was just one video :o

Although I was really pissed off about Crazy Frog when I was a teen too. But I look back now and realize it was meant to be a joke. Sometimes you just have to not take things seriously haha.

I have good memories of trying to learn the Gangnam Style and then dancing it spontaneously at times lol.

I didn't like This is Sparta. That wasn't even just a YouTube video, that was everywhere, it was a full-blown meme. It stopped being funny about the 1/10th point through its lifespan. I loved Rick Roll. I don't care what people say, it's a catchy song.

I hated Rick Roll so much, but Sparta repeating over and over again wasn't special either. However, I've saw the movie 300 back in 2007 and I really enjoyed it.

Although I remember John Cena ruining WWE in the mid-2000s, but I don't think any mid-2000s kids are nostalgic for him. Maybe because he's still going.

I'd begin at 1993 and 1994. In 1993, I discovered Beavis and Butthead which was a big thing for me. I'd watch that show everyday! 1994 rolls around and changes my life. Dookie and Smash! Those albums got me into Punk Rock and skateboarding and I still love that stuff to this day. When stuff like American Idiot came out, I just knew it wasn't for me. It didn't have the same vibe as the stuff before it and I wasn't into it.

Yeah I mean you were talking about your teens so I mainly included my teen days, but my pop culture interest does go back to even when I was 8/9 or so in 1995/1996, I remember 1996 very well and liked a lot of non kiddie movies from then, Independence Day, Twister, The Cable Guy, The Nutty Professor. I actually remember some music fairly well like Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, Bone Thugs, Boyz II Men, Biggie, Tupac. So for me including late childhood through 18, I like 1995-2005 myself.

Oh yeah, true! ;D Man, 1996 was amazing just because of seeing Beavis and Butthead Do America. Independence Day was also a really cool movie to see. Going back to 1996, my music was all the Pop Punk stuff! Green Day, The Offspring, Less than Jake, NoFx, Lagwagon, Strung Out and I also started getting into older 80's stuff like the Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks and Minor Threat. This was also the first year I started going to Punk shows and went to the Warped Tour. I went to every Warped from 1996-2005.

They're 90s children, but not "full" 90s children - rather, they're 1994-1999 children.

I know it was 10 years ago, but that guy claiming ages 9-13 are all that matter and nothing before that counts is wrong. ;D

What I don't understand about this thread is that these '89 - '91 kids think they are "Pokémon kids", but at the same time claim to be too old for "2000s kid shows like Spongebob".  ???

Both shows aired in the 1998-99 school year. If you were too old for one, you certainly weren't the "peak age" for the other! I can't believe no one pointed this contradiction out. I should've been there to tell 'em to cut the crap.  >:( Spongebob is an amazing show.

No one will be nostalgic for that.  ::)

I'm not one of the people.

People are nostalgic for the Macarena, and that got just as much hate. People being nostalgic for Gangnam Style is kind of a no-brainer :P

Yeah I always though of 90's kids like this:

Early: b. 1983-1985

Early/Mid: b. 1986

Mid: b. 1987 & 1988

Mid/Late: b. 1989

Late: b. 1990 & 1991


You could also divide it like this:

b. July 1982-August 1984: Older 90's Kids

b. September 1984-June 1990: Core 90's Kids

b. July 1990-June 1992: Younger 90's Kids


So, if people born in late 1984 to mid 1990 were core 90s kids, then how come people born in 1997-1998 were core '00s kids according to you?

Me too! It'll be great! But that also means the 2020's will be a lot like the '00s. :P


At least the 2020s wouldn't be as godawful as the 2010s, thanks to 90s nostalgia being godawful now.

I'm not one of the people.

I'm nostalgic for the doctor of thuganmoics Cena! ;)

Well, it's not like 90s kids liked Spongebob at the time. They probably watched something else like Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, etc. That's like me seeing a new Nickelodeon show. I'm way too old for it, since I've seen another generation from Nickelodeon. If I went back in time to 2006, then I'll show them how bad Nickelodeon is today compared to ten years ago.

You don't know that :P


Dude, we're like 3 years and 11 months away from the 2020s. That's less than a half. The 2020s seems it would be better for 2000s kids to be nostalgic upon their childhood.

Yeah Spongebob came out in 1999. Actual 90s kids were too old for the series. ;D  Rocko, Ren & Stimpy, Ahh Real Monsters, Original Doug they would've watched. I'm not counting Rugrats and Hey Arnold because I grew up watching those as well.

To be fair, Pokemon was in it's prime during the 1999-00 school year. Spongebob didn't reach it's peak until 2001/02ish.

As long as this 2000s nostalgia is people blasting Avril Lavigne instead of Soulja Boy, then maybe it will be fun  ;D But if it's the latter I'm gonna move to Saudi Arabia or wherever music is banned.

You really couldn't escape Pokemania during that school year. I started collecting the cards in the summer of '99, and when Burger King had the toys in the fall, it was truly all the rage. I got so much Pokemon stuff for Christmas in 1999 and the franchise remained at its peak point through the summer of 2000 with the theatrical film.

By the time I started 4th grade in the fall of 2000, I don't think I knew a soul anymore who still collected the cards or anything. It had become just another fad. It seemed like when they introduced the new generation of Pokemon beyond the original 151, a lot of people lost interest. I think people probably still bought the games (as they still do today) but I'd bet the whole merchandising aspect had a pretty rapid decline over the course of Y2K.

Yeah, for the cards I also became gradually disinterested throughout the 2000-01 school year, the hobby was really expensive. That was the same year Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Stadium 2 came out, so I still played the games. I still watched the anime until 2003.

I think people will be more nostalgic over Avril Lavigne than Soulja Boy.


Yeah I force my little sister to watch old Avril Lavigne and she loves it. I hope she is spreading the gospel to other 2000s kids.

That's true. Spongebob was the first Nickelodeon show that I felt "too old" for back when it debuted in 1999.

What happened around 1999-00 for alot of kids my age is that we began to abandon Nick in favor of Cartoon Network, particularly because of Toonami. Thanks to stuff like Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z, anime, and action cartoons in general, became very popular in the late '90s, and CN had these in droves, while Nick still largely had more conventional cartoons during this era like Spongebob, Pelswick, As Told By Ginger, etc.

I think Nick still had higher ratings overall, but CN was definitely seen as the "cooler" of the two kids channels during the 1999-2002 time period.

Oh that makes a lot more sense if they came on different channels. In Canada they came on the same channel at close times, so I was confused.  :o If you were watching Hey Arnold!, Pokémon, Rugrats, Digimon, Dragon Ball Z  or any of that, you probably would have been watching Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents as well.

Yeah, it was a very different landscape here in the U.S. Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, Spongebob and The Fairly Odd Parents were Nick shows, while DBZ aired largely on Toonami, Pokemon on Kids WB/syndication, and Digimon was a Fox Kids exclusive.

During the anime explosion of 1998-99, CN, Kids WB and Fox Kids all retooled their schedules to include a larger number of Japanese influenced action shows, while Nickelodeon largely kept it's lineup the same.

and ironically that's when the 1st series of Pokemon came to an end, late 2003 here in the U.S. is when the advanced generation began.

Like Eric said, the peak of Pokemon was during the 1999-2000 school year, but its golden age overall lasted from 1998-2003.

Yes! :D :D :D  Cartoon Network was the cool kids network. Disney Channel was the teenyboober kids network, and Nick & Kids WB were the traditional kids networks.


Cartoon Network had Toonami in the afternoons for the teens and older kids and then had Adult Swim come on for the well... Adults!

Yeah, Toonami usually showed reruns of 80s cartoon shows. Then in the 1998-1999 school year, Toonami starting showing; DBZ and Sailor Moon. Kids WB moved away from the Animaniacs, Pinky & The Brain, Batman TAS era to the anime and action block that would eventually dominate in the early-mid 00s. Fox Kids started show anime kiddy stuff and moved away from the traditional superhero cartoon shows. Nick and PBS kids remained the same!!! ;D  Ironically the changes the kids networks went through during the 1998-99 school year were ultimately the end of core Gen Y kid culture and the beginning of Late Gen Y kid culture!

Yes! :D :D :D  Cartoon Network was the cool kids network. Disney Channel was the teenyboober kids network, and Nick & Kids WB were the traditional kids networks.


LMAO teenyboober! You meant teenybopper, but Disney Channel did have so many hot female characters on there live-action or animated! Cartoon Network always had the best variety for me don't care what anybody says.

Also from what I heard, during the 1998-1999 school year once those Kids WB shows you mentioned ended they moved to Cartoon Network for reruns until 2001 or 2002. In fact, Cartoon Network had a BIG history of dumping finished Kids WB shows on there.

Yeah 2000-01 school year Batman The Animated Series had reruns then Superman the Animated Series started showing there too. Then in 2001/ 2002 school year, they had Batman/Superman TAS on Saturdays.

Wow, that's a lot of channels. You guys should have everything on one channel, then the kids will never go outside or bother anyone  ;D

So, if people born in late 1984 to mid 1990 were core 90s kids, then how come people born in 1997-1998 were core '00s kids according to you?


1997-1998 would be Main 00's Kids, while those born from Late 1994 through Mid 2000 would be Core 2000's Kids. BIG difference

Yeah it seems like for the 1985/6-1991 Cohort, Nickelodeon was top dog, especially from 1991-1997/8. For people in my cohort, 1992-1996/7, it was Cartoon Network that was top dog from 1997-2004.

and ironically that's when the 1st series of Pokemon came to an end, late 2003 here in the U.S. is when the advanced generation began.

I agree! I remember Pokemon being everywhere in 1999 & 2000! 2001-2003 the mania wasn't as strong, but was still very popular! I think the main popularity of the show fell of around in late 2003, when the original trio broke off

Did you watch Batman Beyond? What about the Spiderman cartoons? Those were great shows.  :D


I caught reruns of Batman Beyond on CN way back in 2002.

and I remember reruns of 90's Spiderman being on Jetix around 2004 & 2005.

1997-1998 would be Main 00's Kids, while those born from Late 1994 through Mid 2000 would be Core 2000's Kids. BIG difference


So, I'm a core '00s kid even if I was born in late 1999?

I think late 1994-mid 1998 would be the core 2000's kids, and the Y/Z cusp group at the same time too. Since we spent ALL of our elementary school years in the 2000's, NONE in the 90's or 2010's, and we will all be graduated from high school after this Spring with our first presidential election coming up this fall.

True I included 1999 & 2000 borns in that as well, but late 94'-98 seems more accurate come to think of it

To me 1999 & 2000 born's wouldn't remember the 2000's decade in its entirety, which is key to me, and would have spent some late childhood years in the very early 2010's too. Overall I understand where you're coming from.

I caught reruns of Batman Beyond on CN way back in 2002.

and I remember reruns of 90's Spiderman being on Jetix around 2004 & 2005.


That's good. Then at least you understood the Spider-Man memes. ;D

Oh, So you didn't watch Batman Beyond when it was still airing on Kids WB?

A lot of 90s kids would've love Rugrats and Hey Arnold though.

Yeah, but I didn't use Rugrats or Hey Arnold as an example before was because they lasted a LONG time!

No, I only remember it being on Cartoon Network. Half of the Kids WB shows or seasons I only saw on Kids WB, the other half only on Cartoon Network, while some I remember seeing on both.

Like for example the earlier seasons of Pokemon I only saw on Cartoon Network, but the later seasons of Pokemon I saw on Kids WB.

Teen Titans, X-Men Evolution, Yu-Gi-Oh, Mucha Lucha, Xiaolin Showdown, Jackie Chan Adventures, The Batman, Ozzy & Drix, and What's New Scooby-Doo are shows I remember seeing on both Cartoon Network and Kids WB.

Batman Beyond and Superman: TAS are shows I only remember seeing on Cartoon Network.

Well, true. But Hey Arnold was only around for 8 years. Hell, anybody could watch Hey Arnold since it's on Nick Rewind.
