Yeah gustogummi is right I thought we had a thread about this already
I can see people who grew up in the 80s saying the 90s isnt retro.
Well, in my opinion something is retro when its time period has a considerable diff from today.
[RANT!] The world today is a lot diff than it was in the 90s. Crappy tv shows, people complaining about terrorism, iraq... Reality tv on at 8:00pm on every channel...
Kids cant even be kids today, b/c the media is telling them to not watch tv and eat healthy, etc. Now im for this, but let kids be kids. If they have a fair balance they can be fine. All the new shows for kids have hidden messages encouraging exercise or preaching liberal beliefs.
What happened to plain 'ol funny cartoons like the looney toons, and even many 90s series. Sure some of these shows, like the old looney toons, did have political messages, but they werent aimed at the kids. They ususally wouldnt have the knowledge to get them anyway. [RANT!/]

The 90s was more cynical and laid back compared to the 80s. I call it "The slacker decade"

If you were born in 1995, that would make you 12-13 now, do your parents know that your on the internet?

Eh, basically.
to me, 1991-1995 is retro-ish.
1996-1999 don't fit yet for some reason.

i agree. i graduate high school in 96, so maybe that's why. anything when i was in school has a retro-tinge to it.
Retro is what you make it. Me? I'm nostalgiac for the times of 2000 and 2001. I'm also nostalgiac for the beginning of VH1's "I Love..." programs, Vanilla Coke, my greatest Walt Disney World visit in 2004...This decade kicks ass, and I'll reminisce about this decade any day.
I think a lot of it has to do with personal experience. I don't want to remember the 90s. My dad's death, 4 school transfers, time in a youth hospital...I don't want to remember any of it. While I did enjoy some stuff in the 90s, and I'm appreciating more of it this decade, all in all, the 90s held too many painful memories on a personal level and that's why I'll never truly be nostalgiac for it.

Yeah, I liked the early 90's especially cos that's when SEGA ruled supreme. Now it's Sony, Microsoft, mobile phones, you name it. Way too commercialised and expensive now.
You either gotta have money or you lose out on everything that is worth having..

Wow. It's a lot of people here that were born in the 90's. I was born in 1984 so I got a chance to experience a glimpse of the beautiful 80's and ALL of the 90's. The 90's was a beautiful decade and will probably be the most remembered and most favorite decade of my life.

I was actually born in 1982. Pop-culturally, I would call myself an "adopted child of the 80s", since I've gained such an appreciation of it over the years.
My article "Don't Call Me A Poser" tells the entire story of my life in the 90s...Of how 80s culture kept me going through a lot of rough shit.
I know more about the 80s than the 90s, but I'm still technically a child of the 90s. I wish I wasn't, though.

I was born in 1977, so I was a teen of the 90s. But I wish I was a teen in the 80s instead.

Name any 80's band out there. I know em' all.
Unless it's Rock. But it is mainly Pop I admire.

I enjoyed a good portion of the 90's. It was a pretty great decade, in the early 90's I remember rushing to get home from school to watch Animaniacs and reruns of WKRP and the Adams Family. There was lots of great new music at the time and also in the early 90's alot of classic rock bands put out boxed sets with improved sound and rare tracks. I bought The Who's and Yes' and would listen to them for ages. I never had my own video game sytem but I played Sonic and Mario alot at other people's houses. I always liked Sega and Sonic better than the Nintendo stuff.
The mid 90's wasn't that great for me personally, bullying issues and problems at home but '95 - '96 I still found pop culture stuff to enjoy. The sitcoms and movies were good, alternative music I liked most of, and there were a whole bunch of Beatles, Rolling Stones and Who archive releases to enjoy. Things picked up again from '97 till the end of the decade. I got to travel across Canada alot and had a great time. I reached the end of my teens at the end of the decade.
