My memory of the '90s ranges from none at all to perfect.

1990: No memory

1992: No or almost no memory
1993: A little memory
1994: Some memory

1992: Good memory

1993: Good memory

1994: Great memory

1995 - 1999: Perfect memory

I remember every year of the '90s. I suppose 1990 I remember probably the least of the 10 years, but after that I have no trouble at all remembering the '90s.

1990 is pretty much the '80s anyway ;)

every year, unfortunately.  ;D

The '90s weren't that bad ;)

I suppose it was a bit '80s. I was going into 3rd grade that year.

I don't remember 1990 at all, maybe an absolute smidgen of 1991, bits of 1992 and 1993, 1994-1996 quite well, 1997-1999 perfectly.

I suppose it was a bit '80s. I was going into 3rd grade that year.

^ it's strange because lets say when it hit 2000 for you and you were nearly 10 years old, you probably thought, "Well, things don't feel all that different" yet, it was a new year and a new decade so it's hard to still consider it the '90s when you've entered that new decade.. yet, they are all just numbers - right?

The '90s weren't that bad ;)


Well, lol, to a kid, no they weren't. But this decade carried a myriad of memories.

every year, unfortunately.  ;D

There were some years in the '90s that I find terribly forgettable (like 1996, which was the year my parents divorced or 1991, the year my cousin died).

"Nothing Compares 2 U", "Love Shack", "Love Takes Time", "Pump Up the Jam", "Come Back to Me", "Hold On", "Vision of Love", "Escapade" are all '90s songs.

I wish I could remember 1990 and 1991. They sound cool. Oh well. I'm off to my home videos of me from 1990 and 1991. But I'm happy that I can remember two great years very well: 1994 and 1995.

I have 2 very early memories both from mid or late 1992. My first one is me walking into the living room. It's a neat one because that's when I remember I became aware of myself. Weird, but I think true. My other early memory is also from 1992. I was riding in a car with my mother's family down Interstate 40. That must explain my Road interest. But I'm not sure if that memory was real or a dream.

"Nothing Compares 2 U", "Love Shack", "Love Takes Time", "Pump Up the Jam", "Come Back to Me", "Hold On", "Vision of Love", "Escapade" are all '90s songs.


Do you think Wilson Philips was to the '90s, sort of what Christopher Cross was to the '80s? Gender aside, they've got tons of similarities.

-Soft rock/pop stars that rose to prominence quickly, but also faded fast, when the respective decades really kicked in
-Huge selling debut album, less successful later ones
-Had songwriting and looks of the previous decade (Cross was very singer-songwriter-esque and only made a few videos, which he didn't seem too comfortable in; WP had that innocent '80s type prom music, with a carefree feel), but a primitive sound of the one that was just starting (keyboards, and AC-type girl pop, respectively).

Yeah, I agree. In extension, you could also say Carole King was that to the '70s, she was huge in 1971 with Tapestry but failed afterwards to make it, and combined the "Brill Building" sort of '60s pop with the more soulful, singer-songwriter '70s feel. For the '00s, who would you say fits that bill? A/C type music always seems to be a good "spacefiller."

Hold On is a very late '80s song.

I guess I remember every year of the '90s.

Yeah, I'd say Avril Lavigne/Michelle Branch type pop was like that c. 2002, and Coldplay sort of strikes me in a similar vein.

Another thing I'll say about Cross and WP, is they seemed to be instantly tied to being "relics" of 1980 and 1990, respectively. When they tried (slightly) to update themselves, it didn't work as well ("Give It Up" by WP sounds more '90s dancelike, and "All Right" is sort of '80s synthpop, but it comes off as a somewhat outdated artist trying to stay with the times, as opposed to being natural).

Yeah...I was going to say Coldplay. They were absolutely huge in 2002 and early 2003, just before all the emo, hipster rock, and glam rap/rap-pop that defines the '00s really came in. Alot of people at my school still like them casually, but they didn't fit as well into the general scheme of things around 2005. They're coming back a little bit now with the rise of bands like The Fray and James Blunt.

Avril Lavigne, Vanessa Carlton, and Michelle Branch are all instantly dateable to 2002 by people right now, which is why they won't come back.

My memory of the '90s ranges from none at all to perfect.

Would you say WP is a slightly updated version of pop like "Hungry Eyes" and Debbie Gibson's later work?

Hold On is a very late '80s song.



A bit '80s?  ;) 1990 is extremely '80s.

If either of those statments were true, then Dick Van Dyke's real name really would be Penis Van Lesbian.

That's easy for you to say! You weren't even around in a year that had "8" in its tens column.

Even by 2004, Avril sounded dated with her second album. Although I sort of thought she was a brat personally, I liked her debut album and thought it even had a few good non-single tracks, but it was probably just a burnout in the eyes of most people. She's probably already over the hill, as are the other two.

I think when anything is overplayed to death, it makes people eager to get rid of it quickly. Perhaps that happened with Coldplay's "Clocks" -- too bad that had to be their overdone song, I like "Talk" much better (both the song and the video are sort of retro 80s too).

Would you say WP is a slightly updated version of pop like "Hungry Eyes" and Debbie Gibson's later work?


Yeah, it fits right in with that. Although they kinda point to stuff like "Colors of the Wind", "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and "Come to My Window" too.

You probably weren't around in a "9" year ;)

Oh yes I was. I'm a grown man. I was born in a year that "8" in its ten's column. Ronald Reagan was president of the U.S. at the time.

Back on topic, I remember most of the decade except the "early" part.

I'm at the other end---1980. ;)

I remember my life in all ten years of the '90s. My life changed quite a bit. In the first half of 1990, I was in 4th grade...and in the second half of 1999, I was in my second year of college! :)

I remember very few things from 1990.
1991 I remember a little.
1992 I remember ok.
1993-94 I remember good.
1995 I remember very good
1996-99 I have an excellent memory of.

Yeah, it fits right in with that. Although they kinda point to stuff like "Colors of the Wind", "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and "Come to My Window" too.


LOL, Disney music...that was my soundtrack for the mid-'90s, honey! In retrospect, all of that stuff was very trendsetting for the '90s A/C balladeer stuff like Celine Dion, Bryan Adams, and Whitney Houston. You could also see it as a revival of '70s neo-Broadway charting hits by the likes of Barbra Streisand.

For me, 1991, it was the year my baby sister passed into the great beyond.

The Eagles would be my early '90s soundtrack and Peter, Paul & Mary and the Eagles would be my mid '90s soundtrack. And I still like Peter, Paul & Mary in the mid '00s. But the main reason I still like them is because I liked them in the '90s.

If you were born in 1982, it seems you should have similiar memories as I (or most who were born in 1982).


Well, according to the both of us, I do.  I didn't start getting "Perfect Memory" (or that, "Feels like it was just yesterday" memory) until around the time I turned 12, which was in November 1994.  I still have pretty good memories of the early 90's, but they aren't "Perfect"

I guess it's different for everybody. For whatever reason, there's not one single year in the '90s that I have fuzzy memories of.

Yeah, I'm sort of the same. I think my memory is clearer after 1991, because that's the year we moved and I began school with a lot of people I would know for the next 10 years or more. But I lost touch with everybody I knew from Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2, and thus my memory of those years is a little bit less clear... However, I wouldn't call my memory of 1990 and '91 bad either - I have loads of memories I could dredge up from every year of the '90s, including the very early ones.

I guess it's different for everybody. For whatever reason, there's not one single year in the '90s that I have fuzzy memories of.

Absolutely! :)

I remember my life well from the late 80's on. Since I was born in '80, I don't remember my life well at all during the early 80's. I have some memories of the mid-80's, though.

All of it, actually 1990 is the first year I have rather detailed memories, such as traveling to Mexico City all by myself, getting our first VCR and cable tv. I also remember MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" and Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" played all over the radio.

Like the OP, I remember most but not all of the 90s, and my memories date back to 1993.

I do have to say, it seems like people 2-3 years younger than me remember that decade far less than I do.

Born in 1981. I remember vaguely some things from 1990, and almost everything from the rest of the decade (started listening to chart music in 1991, for example).

And through the years, I've made up for the lack of memories from 1990 and the years before, playing a lot of music from the 1988-1990 era nowadays. Wishing I was born a couple of years earlier.

I was born in 1989.

I do remember some of the 90's, from 1990-1992 I was still in High School then from 1993-1999 I attened vocational programs.

I remember some cartoons I use to watch with my brothers and loved.  Cant think of any right this second.

Like the OP, I remember most but not all of the 90s, and my memories date back to 1993.

I do have to say, it seems like people 2-3 years younger than me remember that decade far less than I do.


Yeah, I think that's true. I've seen some people born in 1992 that seemed to have a decent recollection of the decade, but once you get beyond that it becomes problematic. It's been my own experience that you don't really begin developing a true understanding of the world around you until you start school, which for someone born in the "4" year of a decade would not be until the very end of that decade or the very beginning of the next depending on what part of the year they were born in.

As for the topic itself, I'll stick with what I posted six years ago. My earliest traceable memory dates back to Christmas Day 1989, and everything after about '92 is when I begin to lose famous "hazy" feeling of early childhood memories.

I was born in 1990.

1991-No Memory
1992-No Memory

1994-Some Memory

1997-Good Memory

I remember it all.  From New Years' 1989 almost getting laid and passing out drunk to New Years' 1999 staying in, reading Hearts of Darkness and waiting for the world to end at the stroke of midnight.

1990: Rather fuzzy memories from the first half, more clearer ones from the second half
1991: Not as clear as it was yesterday, but overall a good memory (esp. when looking at photos)
1992: Good memory (can't recall every day, but that's also not the case with for example 2003)
1993: Good memory (")
1994: Good memory, very good from the late part on (")
1995-1998: perfect memory (")
1999: since I started my teenage years then: like yesterday

I remember it all.  From New Years' 1989 almost getting laid and passing out drunk to New Years' 1999 staying in, reading Hearts of Darkness and waiting for the world to end at the stroke of midnight.


at least you got some but I didn't get much of anything in the 90's.  :(

I forgot what I was going to say          nutbunnies

Great list!

I remember everything. I was 7 when they started. 17 when they ended.

Born in 1991. Don't remember anything from 1991-1993, a handful of things from 1994-1997, and almost everything from 1998-99.

Only 1998 and 1999 vaguely and a tiny, tiny bit of 1997. I was born in 1995.  :P

I didn't start having super clear memories until like 2001 or so...... :P

I witnessed the entire decade, but of course some memories blur with time (even those in 1999). Still, it was interesting how early in the '90s Apple IIs and Macintoshes were still considered modern and not vintage, before Pentium processors really made them look old. I remember when Super Nintendo first came on the scene knowing how superior the graphics were when played at a friend's house compared to my regular NES. Also, there weren't as many "luxury items" around where I grew up; sadly we seem to take luxury more for granted these days considering how large the average house is, the amount of luxury cars on the road (even used ones are abundance), and how people seemed to inspire more and not seem spoiled. We called our president George Bush, not George H.W. Bush or Bush 41. I thought in 1991 when gas crept up to about $1.35 it seemed high at the time and thought that we could be moving back toward the inner city. It was nice watching the '90s things develop while seeing the '80s holdovers gradually fade away of the course of the early-mid '90s.

I was born in February of 1989 if you're curious.

1990 - I don't remember this year at all.

1991 - I have very vague memories of this year.

1992 - The majority of what I recall from this year has to do with medical problems I faced at the time and preschool class.

1993-1994 - I remember these years fairly well.

1995 - This year stands out in my mind because a lot of negativity happened that year. o__o

1996 - 1999 - I look fondly back on these years. I remember them almost in their entirety.

1987 here

1990: virtually no memory
1991: just a couple memories
1992: handful of memories

Interesting! Early, mid or late '87?

Late.  My memories have faded over the last few years though, which I guess is what happens over time; even the late 90s still felt recent not that long ago, but it's starting to seem distant now.  The early 90s (what I remember) seems like a different lifetime.

Late.


Alright, I was just a little bit confused why your memories of 1991 are just a couple and '92 only a handful ;)

1990: Nothing
1991: Nothing
1992: Nothing
1993: Nothing
1994: Nothing
1995: One somewhat vague memory of when I was with my dad
1996: Two or three somewhat vague memories, one of which is from preschool
1997: A few memories from preschool and from getting our family's car
1998: A lot of memories from preschool, being out and about, and being with friends (e.g. birthday parties)
1999: Ditto, though I was almost done with preschool

I dislike what the term "'90s kid" has become, but I do think that you aren't much of one if you don't remember at least a few years of the '90s.

1990: Next to nothing
1991: Next to nothing
1992: Not much
1993: Some of it
1994: Some of it
1995: Most of it
1996: All of it
1997: All of it
1998: All of it
1999: All of it

Most of my early 90s memories are from home and school. I do remember watching Wheel of Fortune in my hospital bed (asthma) when I was 4 (either late '91 or somewhere in '92). My earliest memory is from taking pictures with my sister, which was anywhere from late '89 to early '91.

I was born 10-28-90

1990: Nothing
1991: Nothing
1992: Probably nothing. I used to think I could remember my 2nd birthday, but I'm pretty sure it was actually my 3rd.
1993: A few small things
1994: Some substantial things
1995: A lot of things
1996: By now I was in kindergarten so from here onward my memory is pretty clear.

I remember every year of the '90s perfectly.

Born in 1995

1990 Nothing
1991 Nothing
1992 Nothing
1993 Nothing
1994 Nothing
1995 Don't remember much considering I was born that year
1996 I swear I remember sitting in front of the TV and 2Pac ft. Dr. Dre - California Love came on, might of been a few years later but I remember that. Also remember Space Jam but these might have been later on
1997 bits
1998 Remembering singing along to The Offspring - Pretty Fly
1999 Remember celebrating the year it turned to 2000.

The majority of my childhood was R. Kelly, Nelly, Disney Films, Space Jam, 2Pac, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, Nintendo 64, Super Mario games, Cartoon Network, Fox Kids, Hey Arnold! etc... The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, 50 Cent, I grew up alot around what my cousins liked, oh and hot long summers.

1999 Remember celebrating the year it turned to 2000.

back when Tracy Ullman Show started.

back when Tracy Ullman Show started.

That's right; they were originally part of that show. But the Simpsons became a standalone show in late 1989. It was sometime after that when I first heard about it/started watching it.

Then after that Simpsons became a huge hit.

And now, 20+ years later, the show is still being produced... and showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. :o
