A lot of that stuff applys to me even though I was farily young in the '90s. But age means nothing in my book.

Great list. :)
I'll go through each one later, but I'd say at least half of those apply to me. And even the stuff I didn't pay too much attention to (i.e. "kid stuff" I may have thought I was too old for when I was 13 around 1995), I've come to miss now too. Heck, alot of it is still relevant to me - i.e. I still record VHS tapes off tv, and frequently make mix tapes.
P.S. Unlike alot of these sort of things, I totally agree with the OP of the MySpace poll, 13 is about the right age to remember most of this (b. 1992 or '93 is old enough to be a '90s Kid, IMO).

These lists are fun to read. There's a few different versions of them out there, but they all pretty much touch on the major aspects of being a 90s kid.
I haven't seen one of these lists that have the game M.A.S.H. (Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House) on it though. I haven't thought about that in years.

As much as I hate to revive a 14 year old thread, This is where all the "True 90s kid" stuff began. Right there. Before it got really obnxious a few years later. And even the "Before...XYZ" Stuff is now becoming nostalgic. Sidekicks, classic iPods, Original Xbox and PS2, Mike Jones (who? ;)) and Myspace.

2005-2015 was pretty much the peak of online 90s nostalgia. In 2015-2018, the internet briefly moved into early 2000s nostalgia, then in 2018-2020 it moved into LATE 2000s-early 2010s nostalgia.

Good list
I was an 80s kid and quite a few of those things applied then too.

I can see how 1997 babies have a late 90’s influence in their childhood I mean they were kids of the early 2000’s . Wasn’t like we were living in different worlds from 1998 to 2002. But in terms of mid 90’s culture they will not remember that.

I was an 80s kid :P
But, I remember everything listed and then some more...since I was a teen in the 90s. I think teen culture in the 90s had many differences.

Just as long as it doesn't restart that ridiculous "90's Kid War" that happened here about 8-9 years ago. People actually were getting banned over that nonsense. ;D
