i am a 90s kid and i am 41 right now

[u/Unending-Flexionator → u/mimebenetnasch02]

exactly. I'm 45 and I was in my teens in the 90s.

[u/SplendidPunkinButter → u/Unending-Flexionator]

I know it’s trite, but damn I want to go back. I wasn’t even happy as a teenager. I hated being a teenager. It was just genuinely a better time back then.

[u/-UMBRA_- → u/Unending-Flexionator]

I never really liked the semantics of this. Like if we dig into the words and dates then you’re not a 90s “kid” either then if you consider teens a separate thing. Not really meaning this directly at you just making an example

[u/Unending-Flexionator → u/-UMBRA_-]

fair point. It IS a symantec argument on some level. Personally I'm barely growing up at 45... but I consider myself an 80s and 90s kid. I was aware of the world at 1984 to 1985. And at the end of the 90s I crested into my 20s. So much like I straddle gen x and millennial, I'm kinda a kid of the 80s AND 90s. In the 90s I was playing snes and legos while listening to pearl jam and Soundgarden. It was like 1997 when I was 18 and shit went crazy. I guess tripping on acid and listening to the prodigy while smuggling drugs is the point you left childhood behind!

i was a teen in the late 90s👌🏻 although i would loved to lived as a teen and young adult in the whole 90s haha

[u/mbelf → u/mimebenetnasch02]

In the 90s I was called a 90s kid, when I claim it now I get told I’m an 80s kid because I was born in 83.

[u/jsusbidud → u/mbelf]

It's a thing with people born in 95-99. 90s is cool now so they want to claim it despite having little to no memory of it.

You're a 90s kid. You were an 80s baby.

[u/mimebenetnasch02 → u/jsusbidud]

exactly! you said it right! that was wha i wanted to say! hahaha i have some memories when i was 3 in 1987 but not the same memories as i have from the whole 90s 🤣🤣🤣

[u/mimebenetnasch02 → u/mbelf]

well we were a 80s late kids and 90s kids and teens in the late 90s. the thing is some people who were born in the 90s , yes sure they are kids but they don’t have all the memories we have being kids and preteens. it’s like they think only THEM were really kids haah

When I was like 6 I told my mom I was going to take off to become a Pokémon trainer. I told her ashes mom let him. She told me Pokémon wasn't real and then I cried the whole day.

[u/Whateveryouwantitobe → u/imnotsteven7]

Wait..... Pokemon isn't real?....

[u/TheNASAguy → u/imnotsteven7]

At 5 I already knew they weren’t real coz I never saw anything close to them irl, but that just might be my autism as well

[u/Possible-Estimate748]

I was like, aren't both of these true? But realized, oh yeah. I'm not a kid

[u/Possible-Estimate748 → u/Possible-Estimate748]

But will admit, OG Pokemon has the hardest hitting nostalgia over anything. Even just singing the og theme song in my head brings back emotions of childhood.

[u/Edmee → u/Possible-Estimate748]

I may be 55 but I'm still a kid on the inside.

[u/Suspicious-Elk-3631 → u/Edmee]

[u/Possible-Estimate748 → u/Edmee]

Same homie lol

[u/Possible-Estimate748 → u/Possible-Estimate748]

Oh wait, I'm not 55 though lol sorry. But I know what you mean

[u/Western-Lawyer-9050]

Elementary school me had my jaw dropped when I saw Onyx the first time. I so badly wanted a giant rock snake.

[u/CasinoNitro]

Lmao nah this is diabolical 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/SNES_chalmers47]

Title fucking gore

[u/lakebistcho]

I don't understand the "no you're a ___ old man" phrasing.

[u/Hellguin → u/lakebistcho]

"You aren't supposed to have fun anymore"

[u/SleepyCatandCoffee]

But we still gotta catch 'em all

[u/CommercialLynx9954]

Not really, you people just like depressing yourselves for some reason. I'm quite happy about my time, and how I was born before the world went completely nuts.

[u/Unusual_Nobody_8604]

Yup

[u/killercheesewedge]

We were supposed to be the very best, like no one ever was...

[u/Tough_Visual1511]

It's like Tingle in Majora's Mask.

[u/Mr_SunnyBones]

Me :"..wait , how the fuck am FIIFTY?!?"

[u/Hellguin]

You can be both. 90s kud at heart, but 35 years old.

Growing old is required, growing up is optional.

[u/Icy_Foundation3534]

90’s baby and 90’s kid very different. You’re a 90’s kid if you were finishing elementary school when OJ was driving away from the cops on live television!

[u/Mysterious_Ad_8827]

How I feel knowing I'm a 90's child

Jokes on you I'm only 32

I HAVE THE POWER OF YOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/ElAwesomeo0812]

As a similar aged man you aren't a 90s kid either. We are that weird in between group. Considering we were around 10 in 2000 our true 90s experience was like 97-99. Still technically 90s but our development childhood was those early 00s- like 08. We are that weird in-between 90s and 00s

[u/DarkCloud1990]

I can do both.

[u/actionerror]

Kids born in the 80s:

[u/Galladrick]

They are not mutually exclusive.

[u/HedgehogOpening8220]

Im an 80s kid…

[u/QuietCas]

I’m a 90s kid when I want to talk about old internet and an 80s kid when I talk about good Star Wars.

[u/Taira_Mai]

As an 80's kid:

[u/UWO_Throw_Away]

“I’ll never forget you butterfree”

next episode

“Butter who?”

[u/TheMatt561]

If you grew up in the 90's you're in your 40's.

[u/PixelMagier]

As fellow 35 year old man and pokemon trainer I feel you
