You Know You’re A ’90’s Kid If…

9 Sep 2009

Since you’re on a site called Ice Ice Babies, it can be assumed that the 90’s is your nostalgic decade. That said, below is a collection of awesomeness that will take you right back to a time when ‘responsibility’ wasn’t in your vocabulary, Encarta helped you with research, and pay phones weren’t lonely.

You Know You’re A 90’s Kid If.

You know all the words to The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air theme song

Goosebumps and Are You Afraid Of The Dark scared you

You collected (and maybe played) Pogs

You remember people fighting over Beanie Babies and Tickle Me Elmo toys

You had a short-lived slap bracelet phase

You know the Macarena

Your winter coat used to be a Starter jacket

You thought you could climb the Agrocrag faster than any of the kids on GUTS

Your shoes had flashing lights

TGIF was your favorite TV lineup

Oregon Trail Day was your favorite day in class

Bill Nye taught you something

You’d have a cassette tape in the radio so you could record your favorite song when it came on

You wanted to find Carmen Sandiego AND Waldo

Surge was your idea of an energy drink

Warheads and Tongue Splashers were a key contributor to your cavities

You predicted your future with one of these:

You told someone The Blair Witch Project was real

You knew every detail about each Saved By The Bell character

Your goal was to be on American Gladiators if becoming a professional athlete didn’t work out

You had a stance on whether you liked Ice Ice Baby or U Can’t Touch This better

You thought gas was expensive when it was over $1

You (or someone you know) wore Jelly Shoes, the Crocs of the 90s

This list is far from complete, please post your additions in the comments and we’ll add to the post!

sorry dood, but slap bracelets, lite up shoes, oregon trail, and jellies were pioneered in my generation…the 80s…but feel free to claim goosebumps, beanie babies, and bill nye…btw: that guy was just a bush-league mr. wizard.

They may have been pioneered in the 80s, but they took off in the 90s. No one cares about which film an actor was an extra in, but rather, people only care about the film he breaks out in.

You can remember when Polly and her entire village could actually fit in your pocket.

Before the Spongebob craze… who the F*** came up with that anyway.

When you used to watch and record things on VHS and VCR’s

When the limited edtion game boy pockets were released.

Before Game Boy games were in color and how excited you were when they finally came in color.

“As Long As You Love Me” was the number one hit song of 1999.

iPods and iTunes didn’t exist and you had to drag yourself down to the music store and hope they weren’t sold out of whatever new CD hit the shelves.

Before Twitter and You Tube.

Texting wasn’t popular and eight hour phone calls were.

Laptops weren’t on the school list of requirements.

Not everyone had the internet.

Remember a time when Google didn’t exist in reality or the dictionary.

TMZ didn’t exist nor all the other gossip shows.

Beverly Hills: 90210 wasn’t soft porn for teenagers.

Sneakers had heels and were stylish.

Tiny dogs weren’t a fashion accessory.

Harry Potter was still locked in his cupboard and Twilight didn’t exist.

Your pillows didn’t have speakers in them.

You played red rover and four square.

The McDonald’s #2 value meal; TWO cheeseburgers AND fries!

Jean jackets with matching jeans.

“Da Bomb!”

Buzzed-cut hair with your teams logo buzzed into it the back of your head.

Body piercings.

Everyone loved fast food; it was a meal (and we didn’t know the ingredients).

Shaved heads and mohawks meant you were a bad ass; none of that faux-hawk crap.

Computers were used to play solitaire, mine sweep, wolfenstein, hearts, and showing off your “artwork” in the paint application.

Movie ticket prices were reasonable (concession stands still expensive).

The rain forest needed to be saved.

Plaid.

Game systems didn’t break down; and IF they did, you blew into the console, and then it would work again (go to hell red ring of death).

There were only 150 Pokemon.

Film was developed and printed at a drug store; not uploaded.

Snapple’s.

When you remember Nickelodeon without the obnoxious cartoons and Cartoon Network when it was without real humans and used to only be about cartoons.
