I was born in January 1990 so I would say yes, I'm a 90s child. Some people think you have to be born in the 80s, some think you have to be born in the 90s but I'd say it's more like 1983-1993.

I started grade school maybe in 92 or 94 but the 90's were a majority of my childhood until I started middle school in 2000. I guess the early 2000's were my teenage years then :)

I define a 90's child as anyone who remembers the 1990's from their childhood ... I wonder why there isn't an early 2000's meme like the bunch of 90's memes on the internet ? :/ The early 2000's weren't really that bad except a terrorist attack ...

I don' t think that Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network or the Disney channel didn't start to get stupid till maybe 2008 or the early 2010's.

Honestly in a pop cultural sense I think decades tend to lag a bit. 1990 and most of 1991 is still very much "the 80s" as people popularly imagine them. Grunge and gangsta rap wasn't quite mainstream in '90 nor was the Internet or most of the things people associate the decade with. Same with the early 2000s. I don't feel like the late 90s felt different from the present until maybe 05-06.

If I could like this post I would give it at least fifty :D I agree about the decades sort of lagging behind. I never realized that the 90's didn't really end until maybe 04 or 06, but yet again I'm getting older and less tolerable of the crap on t.v. we have now a days. :/ Maybe it's just me or this happens to everyone who get's passed a certain age, but I still enjoy the classics :)

Though I'm not a Child of the 90s, there are certain things from the 90s that I like. I like the original Nintendo console, Super Nintendo console and the Nintendo 64 Console. I also like Austin Powers movies, Wane's World and Mad TV.

I miss the days when all the kids would watch All That on SNICK.

I miss Hey Arnold, Doug.. Even the first time I watched Family Guy and Futurama was in the late 90's ('99 to be exact), same with King of the Hill..

I miss not everyone having a cell phone. I think cell phones are one of the most annoying things ever. Or at least, have cell phones but no freakin' texting. I miss facebook not existing.

I miss the days when you actually had to call your friend's house phone and their parents would answer and you'd have to be like, "Is so and so there?"

I miss High Fructose Corn Syrup and GMO's not being in every single thing we eat. I miss Sega Dreamcast and Sonic Adventure games which quickly became classics.

I miss playing Golden Eye on Nintendo 64 and covering my eyes during the opening theme of the game because of the naked silhouettes of women walking across the screen.

I miss Banjo-Kazooie, Rampage arcade game (granted that was around since the mid 80's), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on NES, Kid Chameleon..

I miss begging my parents for a Gameboy, and by the time they agreed to get me one Gameboy Color was out so I wound up getting that. And I only ever got 3 games for it.. none of which I managed to beat LOL. And then I remember saving up a whole year so I finally had enough to get Gameboy Advanced.

I'll be back to add more.. I didn't even get to mention how much I missed sweatpants actually being in style and not things you just wear inside the house or when you work out...

My earliest memory was Christmas of 99 when I was a year and 3 months old, so I don't really remember the 90's at all, but in the early oughties I played videogames and watched TV shows from the late nineties.

The 90's was basically a lost decade for me. Most of it was spent in a fog.

Donnie, we were born 7 days apart! Anyway I am a 90's child still living in it, forever Seattle grunge, the best music ever made! The 1990's was the last great generation to be a kid, I feel sorry for the kids born in the late 90's-2000's, they are missing out on so much since the extreme bubble wrapping of kids started near the late 90's.

I was born in 1993 and I don't consider myself a 90s child. I remember some things from the 90s but I was 6 years old in August 1999. I played Super Nintendo in daycare and I wanted that system more than the N64 but my dad got me the N64 instead. I'm glad he did though.
