You know you're a 90's kid when...


Are you sick of all these Justin Bieber listening, Rastamouse watching douche bags?

"Those aren't my cultural reference points!" I hear you whine like a prick.

They missed out on the golden age of growing up didn't they? The 90's! That's where it's located! Oh snap, Take a Chill Pill, All That AND Chips, Don't Go There Girlfriend because You Are Da Bomb.

But how do you know if you're a 90's kid? You can't just take the year you were born and figure out if your childhood and the 90's coincided as “science” would have you believe. 

No, you have to LIKE and SHARE this list with all your 90's friends otherwise you WEREN'T a 90's kid! 

Come on, you may only be in your 20's now, but lets try and manufacture some artificial nostalgia for a decade that only ended 13 years ago and LIKE and SHARE this list or your nan will die and WON'T bring Gavin and Stacey back! She'll be dead, how would she? She simply wouldn't be able to.



25 Signs you're a 90's Kid!



1) You can't resist finishing this- “Iiin West Philadelphia born and raised!” It's actually a really serious illness. If you don't sing the next line your immune system begins to shut down, if treatment (singing the next line) is not forthcoming symptoms develop into something similar to African Trypanosomiasis or "Sleeping Sickness."



2) You had a massive crush on Robson or Jerome and would argue with your friends about which one was the dreamiest.



3) Before you watched a video you remember the short recording of King VHS wishing you well in his kingdom of film and hoping you enjoy the feature.



4) When I was your age I wasn't pushing a pram I was eating a MAOAM!



5) You remember the day it turned out Tamagotchis were actually a sentient organism.

6) You remember the day it turned out a Tamagotchi was actually a type of very small horse.


7) You remember the day it turned out Tamagotchis were self aware and capable of human emotions.

8) You remember the day Tamagotchis enslaved all of mankind and forced us to feed them nondescript cubes of food and clean up giant mountains of their shit and then play with them/train them depending on the model.

9) You remember the day we all remembered that if we stopped feeding and petting the Tamagotchis they just died within a few days.

10) You remember 8 million attending the “never again” Tamogotchi peace march. You remember the relief, the joy, the pain, the songs, the floral tributes and the burying of the dead.


11) You remember that time period after Mike Tyson was convicted of rape but before we all decided that that's fine now and cast him in a hilarious and charming buddy movie.



12) You remember the great trading card crash when the value of Pokeman cards plummeted and people were pushing around wheelbarrows full of football stickers just to buy a pint of milk.


13) You remember watching Jumanji and asking your dad to buy you the board game but he told you it didn't exist and all the grown ups around the table laughed ha fucking ha.


14) Slap Bracelets were all the rage. Slap Scarves, Hats and Shorts didn't catch on. Slap Hijabs were a public relations disaster



15) The only books you liked were Goosebumps. Now as an adult you have a deep seated hatred of reading and like Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and Frank Turner instead.



16) You remember Round The Twist, a searing and unsettling portrait of mental illness set in a lighthouse for some kooky reason



17) You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday because you were a child and life seemed full of excitement and possibility, not a dirge of tedium and pain.


18) Because technology wasn't as good then no-one was even slightly materialistic and everyone was happy with all their toys. If you look at kids today they're always looting ipads in Tottenham, in OUR day we were happy with whatever we had!



19) If you didn't have a Nokia 32.10 you were NO-ONE and you could fuck off mate.


20) George Martin IS the sixth Backstreet Boy.



21) You remember a time before Blogs! The equivalent of a Blog was a Dairylea Lunchable! Podcasts were two cups on a string.




22) Your favourite Disney Princess was Princess Diana.



23) Freddos cost less than they do now! Everything cost less. It was the past.


24) You know the Spice Girls were a girl group. If you said "Spice Girls" to kids today they'd probably think of a Hareem of ethnic porn stars or some kind of set of cumin figurines probably!



25) You read through endless lists about the 90's and say "oh yeah I do remember that."
