To be honest, I can't really find anything interesting about my birth year other than the fact that it's the same thing backward. :P

I was born one year before my birthdate could be 5/5/05

1993 – I think all birth years in the '90s are interesting because it's the last decade of the 2nd millennium, so it looks very futuristic. Then there's the fact we're one of the last to remember the last years before the new millennium.

1957:

Sputnik program: The Soviet Union launches Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth.

IBM sells the first compiler for the Fortran scientific programming language.

1980:

💛PacMan arcade game was released.
💛 Domestic camcorders were first sold.
💛The Rubik's cube debuts.
💛Jimmy Carter was president.

What I find most interesting is that it still looked like the 70s.

*2004 Election
*Shrek 2 came out 14 days after i was born.
*GTA: San Andreas came out
*World of Warcraft first released
*Sly 2 and Sims 2 came out
*Super Mario 64 DS came out also.

Uhm... 1997?

Big important year for electronic music with Björk and Radiohead's two masterpieces experimenting with it, the biggest Big Beat release to date and Portishead's second album.

That's all I can find tbh :(

* The impeachment of Richard Nixon
* George Foreman And Muhammad Ali
* Elvis Presley Aloha From Hawaii

There are some interesting mathematical facts about 1980 (for any person born then)...

It was easy to determine my age in the 1980s decade; the age would always be the last digit of the year.

In the 1990s and 2000s decades, my age could be determined by looking at the first and last digits of the year. (For example, in 1994 I was 14; in 2006 I was 26.)

In the current century, my age can be determined by splitting the year number into two two-digit numbers; adding those together will give my age for the year. (For example, in 2018, I am 20+18, or 38 years old!) (And if I should still be around in 2099, I would be 20+99, or 119.)

1993 – I think all birth years in the '90s are interesting because it's the last decade of the 2nd millennium, so it looks very futuristic. Then there's the fact we're one of the last to remember the last years before the new millennium.


Even 1988 and 1989 look kind of futuristic to me.

They don't have four different numbers.

  My birth date is all 8's and 2's!  8/22/82

All of us were the first mid 2000s born to become a teen in the late 2010s.
We were all shy of becoming a teen when the switch came out.

Same here. However, I watched the reruns they did until January 2004. You watched later reruns.

The lemur that played Zoboomafoo (his name was Jovian) died in 2014 :\'(.

Yeah i recently just heard :/, there was alot of pros of watching TV with no cable then there was channel called Qubo that i would use to watch all the time when we didn't have cable. I also watched a alot of pbs kids show's from your time also thanks to PBS for reruning them.

A lot of changes that would directly alter the course of the US happened the year I was born, and in some cases, just days prior. The Immigration Act of 1990, which in its effect dramatically altered the demographic makeup of the country, was signed into law just days before I was born, for example. Pay-As-You-Go was also established in '90. The Americans with Disabilities Act was also signed in the year of my birth.

He retired in North Carolina, near where some of my relatives live. He was the most famous lemur in the lemur sanctuary there. Actually, probably the most famous lemur ever.

Yep, absolutely!

I remember that year real good.

1994

North Ridge Earthquake.
Kurt Cobain committed suicide.
Ace of Base was huge.
Forrest Gump was released.
Republicans swept Congress in the midterms.

Also, the internet/WWW/web browsers already existed, but this was basically the year the internet took off in earnest, and was the last year before the dot-com bubble of the late 90s.

Princess Diana died in the same year?

Toy Story was the number 1 movie around the time I was born. It was the first computer animated feature film and ushered in a new era of animation.

Same with Biggie.

1996 was the best year of the 90's, and I'll tell you why. Since I was born in February (early in the year), I was alive for MOST of these events!

Same for many other video game franchises, but it's still good to recognize though, and there were a lot of other 3D games throughout 1996 too and not just the ones I have listed. 5th generation gaming had basically established itself throughout that year (and 1997).

I was born the day the N64 dropped in Japan on June 23, 1996. I'll consider 95 a 3d gamming year ad well since the ps1 and saturn had come out (which I'm suprised none of the 95 borns mentioned that).

go look her up and you'll witness greatness

History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I. The world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a beach ball (58 cm.or 22.8 inches in diameter), weighed only 83.6 kg. or 183.9 pounds, and took about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path.

I think he just giggled and moved on with the award presentation afterwards.

One event that occurred during my birth year that I find interesting: The MLB All Star Game was played at Dodger Stadium, just three days before I was born! (That was the only time, to date, that it was played there. It is now scheduled to finally host another ASG, namely in 2020.) And for the record, the National League won.

"Kung Fu Fighting" By Carl Douglas hit the charts that year.

As a '98 born, I don't think 1998 produced a lot of memorable culture compared to the rest of the 90s years. But still these are some noteworthy things;

-Saving Private Ryan (a film credited to the resurgence in America's interest in World War II)
-Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation
-Rugrats Movie (which introduces Dil)
-Dr Dolittle (released just 4 days after I was born)
-That 70s Show
-"I did not have sexual relations with that woman" (Lewinsky scandal)

Once again I'm going to be dating myself (something I hate to do) but the obvious is JFK assassination.

Oh yeah, and General Hospital premiered-on the day I was born.

I completely agree. It's definitely up there with 2001, 2004, and 2007, OH a 3 year cycle I see! :D  The streak got broken in 2010 though....  :-[

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Funny how you guys can't find anything memorable  about 2002, to us who were growing up during that year we see it as a pivotal year in music, gamming and in pop culture in general. It was the year wwf became wwe, when Mario Sunshine came out, when Nelly hot in here dropped, when The Clipse gridin dropped (one of the most recognized beats in hip-hop), when Final Fantasy X dropped, when Jordan was on the Wizards, when Metroid prime dropped, when Beyonce went solo etc.

Also I stumbled upon this the other day:

Since I was born in NY, its pretty cool to see how different the city I grew up in was like around when I was born! From the look of it, temperature wise, it looks like these were recorded in like Late Winter/Early Spring of that year (so exactly around when I was born), but I could be wrong.

Was it also the year that emo broke through the mainstream?
I'm pretty sure it was in 2001 with Jimmy Eat World, but it didn't influence the whole Pop Punk scene until 2004 or so.
