There is nothing special about being a "90's kid"

and people think there is, are being just as pathetic and irritating as old people who claim the 60's were the best decade

Everybody's youth is special to them because it is their youth, rather than the actual time being particularly good or unique in itself

Just thought I would let you know

I agree, I don't mind the trend as in getting all nostalgic about the 90's but claiming 90's kids are the best etc is just silly, the bias of some people is overwhelming

I hate people who say "well back in my day......"

that being said though, I do look back fondly to the 90s.

You're taking it far too seriously.
'Everyone's youth is special to them' - yes, exactly. And some peoples' youth is the 90's. Thus, the 90's are special to them, and they can be as hyperbolic about how brilliant the 90's were as they wish. Every generation thinks they are the edgiest, the smartest, that their rebels are the craziest/do the most drugs. They're all wrong. But there's no harm in it. Chill.

Yep. It's fine to be nostalgic and that but it gets annoying and immature when it turns into 'I'm better than you because of when I grew up'. Seriously?! I don't mean the people who do it jokingly though, just those who genuinely believe and feel the need to announce it constantly :dry:

I don't think anyone particularly brags about being born in the 90s do they?

Lots of people including myself enjoyed the decade very much and like to talk about it now and then with others born then but i've not yet come across a particularly large enough number of people who've said it was the best decade ever that it warrants a thread to put them down.

20 years on their old gameboys playing Pokemon Red etc in a really "loud" overt fashion-it is just so grating

I remember people being the same about the 80s when I was a teenager. What I don't get is the people born in the late 90s who claim to be 90s kids, I mean I don't claim to be an 80s kid because I barely remember it.

Well it was the last time we had a Tory Government, so it's special to me.

I was 5 in 1999 - so I'd very vaguely call myself a 90s kid :lol:

people calling themselves that term any being born in 1995 have no excuse - being 3 in 1999 is being a "90s toddler"

Maybe they just want to play Pokemon on their old Gameboy and relish the 'retro', take joy in reminiscing? It's so bitter to hate that. My partner and I have a huge Gameboy console and game collection because they're freaking great. What's wrong with that?

Jeeeeez louise jealous? What's wrong with a bit of nostalgia? Most of the members here are of an age where they were born and grew up in the 90's so what's wrong with sharing memories from that time?

Better than endless trolls and generic relationship threads IMO

Ive seen/heard people referring to 90s kids as "the last generation with common sense" or "the last generation who had a real childhood".

People say all kinds of crap. It's best not to think too hard about it.

Literally it means you can only be sure your own mind exists, the idea

but how so many of the things people see as special about the 90's, either pre-existed them (i.e. corded phones) or are only special because it was your childhood when you experienced it (i.e. stupid TV shows like Friends)
