It would appear that you've made some changes, but there's still problems with your post.

For example, 30 Seconds To Mars didn't reach the top twenty in the United States until their 2009 album and their 2013 album has charted better than any previous one.

I also notice that the kid range problem isn't solved. If you knew when childhood was, surely you'd know whether it started in 1988 or 1989, no? If you were born in Spring 1985, wouldn't you still be a kid during January and February of a year as well or not?

If this is about childhood, why are we talking about bands?

While a six year old may indeed be able to hear a song on the radio, let's not pretend that they were out buying grunge CDs and headbanging at concerts. Maybe they do today thanks to "celebrities" like Honey Boo Boo but in the 90s or early 00s...not a chance.

If you're going to talk about childhood, why not compare toys and cartoons? Otherwise, a 90s kid is more like 1975-1985, not 1982-1992.

I remember more about the '90s than toys and cartoons and I was born in '87.

True 90's kid?? Hmmm, well I was born in '88 and I enjoyed my childhood thru that decade. Call me crazy but as a kid I really didn't focus on music or technology, I just watched cartoons, ate large amounts of cereal particularly on Saturday mornings, played outside- getting really dirty and being scolded by my mom, and experimenting a growing style that is video games, particularly Nintendo. So yea, I think I had it good.

Yes, but the point is you probably weren't buying Nirvana t-shirts in the '90s. You might remember a song from the '90s but then again so could someone born in 93 (who is a 2000s kid by the way).

Yeah but neither were 84-85 borns (6/7-9/10 during Nirvana's heyday), I'm in the same category as them imo and ahead of a 92-93. In the earlier '90s yeah I was too young for that stuff (so were 84-85ers), but the late '90s-early '00s I was fully a part of that. Comparing me to a '93 born who most likely was still just playing with toys in 1999, is a joke.

Yea I meant no disrespect to him. Hey, he has every right to voice his opinion about any certain subject. Hell, he probably matured faster than I did due to influences exposed, i dunno. Its just if you would ask the "average" kid whats the best thing they experienced growing up in that era, they will either touch more basis of the things I mentioned or add stuff that I you or I may have forgotten. Remember, Its been a while for most of us here! lol.

People born in 84 were 13 in 1997 (Soundgarden split up but still had a role to play that year and were still associated with the grunge scene) people born in 85 were 14 in 1999 when Alice In Chains released Music Bank. I'm not comparing you to someone born in '93 I think if you're six or under when a decade ends, you're a kid of the next decade) I'm just saying that being in puberty is a big part of being in that transition that occurs between childhood and adulthood.

I know that but a lot of people have photo albums and other records of things they did in the '90s.

Are you really trying to say 1998-1999 is VASTLY different from 2000-2001? Because it wasn't. Being 14 in 2001 was absolutely more like being 14 in 99 than being 14 in 2007. I actually started puberty in 1999 anyway at 12.
