Out of the two options, I would have no choice but 90s kid (since I wasn't born in the 80s). Although maybe I should consider myself a 2000's kid, since I was born in 1993 and I really only remember 1998-1999, with maybe some vague memories from 1997, possibly 1996 if I really dig deep into my consciousness. I was just 6 years old when the 1990s ended and I lived out my childhood peak in the early 2000s mostly. Guess you can call me a 90s baby in that case.

 

By the 00s, technology was becoming more and more common for children. When I was little, I barely knew how to use a computer, not until after elementary. But my little sister started learning when she was 3 or 4. She uses either a tablet or a ds for games everyday. She watches tv all of the time. I didn't grow up like that, so it's hard for me to actually relate to the 00s even as a 1993er. And the 90s were my most carefree years and there is many memories there, plus, I really did watch mostly 90s shows even when 00s started coming up. I listened to more 90s music than anything else even past the 90s. You could call me a 90's child and an 00's kid maybe

 

To me, a 90s kid is someone born from 1982-1991. If you're in that range, then that means most of your childhood (age 3-12) happened in the 90s. 1992ers are borderline IMO, and anyone younger is definitely more of a 2000s kid.

 

I'd say past 1994, my sister was born in 1994 and she is there on the cusp of it

 

1990... Sharp. I got to see all the cool things of the 90's first hand: Videogames, cheap gas, economic prosperity... Everything. Also, I got to see the greatest decade in the greatest century of human history.

 

I'd say if you were born after 1986 chances are you have zero memories of the 80s. Same with after 1996 and the 90s.

I consider an "80s kid" anyone born from 1973-82 or so and a "90s kid" anyone born from about 1983 to 1992.

 

This makes sense to cut it off around 83 when using the term "80's kid". I think the term "80's baby, 90's kid" is most accurate if you were born in the middle of the decade or towards the end.

 

This might not be relevant, but here's a couple pics of me from the 90s (both from 1999). I was 5-6 years old then. The first is my kindergarten yearbook picture and the second is when i played flag football.

 

Forever a 90s kid.

 

Why do care if others label you? If you want to be a 90s kid, be a 90s kid. If you feel like an 00s kid then be that. Hell, if you were born in the 90s but love the Beatles and mod culture, call yourself a 60s kid! Why the hell does it matter? Thing is no one of my mum's generation would give a toss she called herself a 50s kid or a 60s kid, because being defined as either does not pay the rent or put food on the table. Own the label of your choice!
I was born in '94 and I'd like to say that I'm a 90s kid, but every time it comes up, it brings up some BS debate about how 'am I one or the other' or 'you can't be this because you were born after 19xx'. It's like you try to seek approval of something that shouldn't even matter that much. If I want to say I'm Generation Y even though this site says I'm Z, I will. I grew up with both the 90s and 00s culture, due to the fact that I'm close to my older cousins who were born in the 80s, and I grew up in a town that was 2-5 years behind place like New York and LA in terms of trends.
And don't get me started on 'you know you're a 90s kid when...' and it says things like 'you played with Legos' or 'you played hide and seek' when your parents did those things as children. It's not like dinosaurs roamed the earth when they were children you know.

 

I'd say 86-93 is pretty firmly 90s kid territory, 94-96 and 82-85 more of gray area (82-85 maybe qualifying as both 80s and 90s kids?), and before or after that there just not being enough of time being a kid during the 90s to count. I never had to think too hard about myself as I was born in 1989. Sure, I was more of a toddler during the very early 90s but I remember 1993 onward. I have clear memory of the whole ninetiness of the times. I think I have a picture of me rocking my bangs and overalls while holding a Furby that says it all.

Being born in '94, I can remember '98 and '99 fairly well, maybe '97 if I dig that far back in my mind. However my older brother was born in '88, so I grew up more like a child of the 90s. I'd say 1994 and possibly 1995 could sort of count as a 90s kid, but I don't think someone born in '96 could remember anything before the year 2000.

 

90s kid, I was born in 91.

 

I was born in 1991, I consider myself a 90's kid. My brother was born in 1994, he also considers himself a 90's kid. I think my childhood interests greatly influenced his, we grew up with the same toys, watched the same programmes and the likes. So I think a person's siblings also influence the generation with which they associate themselves.

 

Hmmm I guess with my birthdate being in March of '81, I'd be an 80's kid. I remember Madonna from her Like a Virgin days, pink leg warmers, big hair, the Teen Witch Movie, Ghostbusters, The Cosby Show, etc. So yeah, the 80's. I still remember cool stuff from the 90's too, though, of course, and I was a kid then as well- I graduated high school in 1999. From the 90's, we got slap bracelets, Hootie and the Blowfish, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, so much amazing music I can't list it all. I got the best of both worlds.

 

80's baby, 90's kid.

 

'80s baby/toddler, '90s kid/early teen

 

90s baby, 90s kid

 

I was born in May 1989 so it's fair to say I remember absolutely nothing of the 80s (unless I was a genius 6 month old).

80's baby, but definitely a 90s kid. I've got extremely vivid memories from around 1993, when I started school.

 

January 1990, so a borderline 80s/90s baby. Definitely a 90s kid though.

 

Exactly! I thought about this too.
Apparently I'm a 90s kid but well, I don't think I remember 90s stuff in my brain. Maybe the coloring Barbie books, yup that's all.

 

Born in 1988, 90's kid for sure.

 

Born in late 91. Lots of outdoor activity back then.

 

Born in 86 so I vaguely remember being alive during the 80s but its kind of a blur and I didn't really understand the world around me though I really got to experience being a 90s kid.

 

I was born in 1980, so some sociologists would classify me as Gen-X or "XY." Which is it anyway? According to this site, it's "Y," but some say "X." I don't particular care, per se, just wanna know for sure. Must have objective criteria! I don't "do" guesswork.

Anyway, having been born in 1980, I actually remember both the '80s and the '90s from the perspective of the Monster Squad generation. Oh, and Chunk is my favorite Goonie.
roud::tongue:

 

I was born in '83, but I remember most of my childhood in the 90's. '87-'88 are probably the earliest years I can remember.

 

I was born in the 80's and I'm definitely a 90's kid. I have no memories of the 80's. I was like 12 when the 90s ended so I'd say I was a 00's teen. Wasn't everyone a kid in the 90's? My parents definitely acted like children what with all the disposable income they had at the time.

 

I'd consider 80s kids to be born from maybe 1972-1981 and 90s kids from 1982-1991. People born a couple years around the end of those dates would be hybrids.
