That was great.

"Ask me about..."
"What you know about..."

Hahaha.

 

[Levyne]

"Ram the Blade Ship."

I remember not being able to appreciate that at the time

 

[scotcheggz]

I had that US import Jordan Vs Bird! Also the sounds are true, I'd turn around.

My room was full of dreamscape or Pamela Anderson posters, a lot of that stuff made me nostalgia hard though!

 

[FyreWulff]

Just gotta say though since this will probably become revisionist history like i'm sure the 80's and every other era has, but neon pink and all that shit was really really late 80's to like 93 wasn't it? Post 98 is pretty much modern and the mid 90's are a lost era to me. I only remember the music.

90s was all about the needless neon squiggles on shit

 

[SmithnCo]

Now I want to buy some neon orange Nickelodeon VHS tapes.

They were not needless. NEON SQUIGGLES ARE STILL COOL

95-99 dont count

I was born 1987.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Those sounds, holy shit, I remember.

 

[Unicorn]

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

this room is not accurate. sideways posters were an 80s staple, not 90s. and as it is, the late 90s got absorbed into the 00s and the mid 90s were lost. it's only the early 90s that had any worth. 80s win.

 

[NaturalHigh]

Did anyone watch those old NatGeo (I think) for kid videos? It had an animated Earth as the narrator. It was a series and took you to all of the different continents (on different VHSs) and showed you some of the exotic animals. I used to watch them religiously. I am having trouble finding them right now.

Edit: Really Wild Animals.

 

[BY2K]

90's.

Best Decade EVER.

 

[Utako]

Shudder

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

"Most likely white."

Good shit.

 

[ShirAhava]

That room is so 1990 for the most part....funny how a room in 1994-97 would look nothing like that

 

[terrdactycalsrock]

Man, this guys REALLY likes to swear

 

[Maddocks]

Eerie, Indiana

The world stopped for me when the show first came out, I would go to school the next day and be like anyone see it? and everyone would say no. I was crushed.

 

[Rentahamster]

I like this guy.

 

[Charoncaori]

Only 90s kids will know what these sounds are. 100% true. We played with those fucking sounds so much and I have no idea why.

I need that fucking key chain. What the hell were those noises from, anyway? Can someone make a list of toys?

90s was all about the needless neon squiggles on shit

Saved by the Bell ran from 89 to 93 and it's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of 90s neon squigglies

Yeah, bedroom/living room dramatically changed in the 1990s. In the last 10 years it's been refinement (HD, DVR). But in the 1990s, it was NES/Genesis with tiny CRTs and VHS to PSX/N64 with 27+" CRT standard to DVD/DC/PS2 and rumblings of HD. Lot of innovation in that decade in the living room. Last 10 years has been more mobile and software.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Oh my god this is my 10 year old dream come to life almost literally.

 

[Wads]

Barts gu ide to life! Had a lot of stuff in that room.

 

[Sadsic]

im gonna be controversial but

90s kids >>>>>>>> 80s kids


our youth was so much better

 

[travisbickle]

I was born 1987.

That's well too young... you wouldn't have left primary school by the time 90s kids were preparing for university.

 

[Slayven]

That is tight, but an 80s room would be cooler and more WTF. We were on some next level shit.

 

[AZ Greg]

Would have been complete if he looked out the window and there was one of these:

 

[teh_pwn]

If you're rich, this is a much better way of hoarding.

Tired of the last 5 years of stuff? Build a new room for the new stuff.

 

[NaturalHigh]

That's well too young... you wouldn't have left primary school by the time 90s kids were preparing for university.

'88 chiming in here. I was 11 when the 90s ended. 12 in 2000. So unless we are going to start calling teens 'kids' then I am def. a 90s kid. Don't be mad because you don't fit the demographic. If you were 18 when the 90s ended you are not a 90s kid.

Edit: Okay. I am just going to say anyone 1985 and later are 90s kids.

I loved Eerie Indiana, also Round the Twist!

Have you ever... Ever felt like this?

 

[alphaNoid]

I'm honestly pretty impressed and he was fairly comical as well.

I was born in 79, grew up in the 80s but remember most of the 90s since it was when I was 10-20 years old. Someone do the 80s STAT!

im gonna be controversial but

90s kids >>>>>>>> 80s kids

Whoa whoa whoa.. lets not get crazy. This shit right here trumps every single kids anything from the 90s... combined!

Spoiler

90s kids are damn cool though

90s for me ended in like mid-97 when Disney Adventures stopped having a proper magazine spine and shifted its focus to shitty pop music and boy bands. I think the last issue with the spine had a dinosaur on a neon pink background for the cover. 90s as hell

 

[Jack Scofield]

What were those sounds from? Just that little remote thing? I recognize them but can't place them.

Oh shit Disney Adventures was the joint, the comics were awesome.

 

[Dug]

Jordan vs. Bird. My sides!

Would have been complete if he looked out the window and there was one of these:

Better yet, a girl using one of these:

Skip-It!

From Wikipedia:

During a second production occurring in the early-1990s--that was referred to by the then-CEO as a "Skip-It Renaissance"--the toy was manufactured with a counter on the Skip-It ball to record the number of skips. As a result, sales doubled from the late-1980s.

I love that the simple addition of a counter ushered in a "Skip-It Renaissance."

 

[NaturalHigh]

I was a 90s kid but mom taught me the important 80s stuff. Just bought this shirt:

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

What he really needs is some BK Kids Club flyers. Those were the bomb.

 

[UraMallas]

Yeah, but we could watch it any time on VHS. Growing up in the 80's you didn't get to steal The Chronic from your friend's older brother and listen to it with your Aiwa stereo system during the Summer when your parents weren't home and you and your friends played Shining Force on a 13-inch TV. Or, that might've been just me.

We can all agree 90s kid got it best as far as video games goes.

 

[computers putin']

Awww I thought it made the video.

It did for me, dude was pretty funny

 

[Eric C]

OMG I had that sound toy thing!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Mmmmnooo I can't argue that. I mean they were nice but...
being born in 1981 is the best because I got to see both decades and 80s still has the edge. the early 90s were probably the best part of the decade.

 

[BocoDragon]

Edit: Okay. I am just going to say anyone 1985 and later are 90s kids.

Naw. I was born in 84 and that is too young to even remember the 80s... So how could I be anything but a 90s kid?

 

[Eric C]

I need that fucking key chain. What the hell were those noises from, anyway? Can someone make a list of toys?

I think it was just a keychain they sold that made those noises. At least I had that exact keychain, if the noises originally came from something else I don't know.

Just gotta say though since this will probably become revisionist history like i'm sure the 80's and every other era has, but neon pink and all that shit was really really late 80's to like 93 wasn't it?

yeah, imo, neons ended by the early 90s

Naw. I was born in 84 and that is too young to even remember the 80s... So how could I be anything but a 90s kid?

born in 83... I remember the 80s I just remember the 90s more... I was like ages 6-16 for the 90s

 

[Alex Anderson]

Would have been better without the blatant Sega fanboyism.

Black people love them some Sega, man. This is indisputable.

 

[NaturalHigh]

Naw. I was born in 84 and that is too young to even remember the 80s... So how could I be anything but a 90s kid?

Okay. 1984 it is.

born in 83... I remember the 80s I just remember the 90s more... I was like ages 6-16 for the 90s

Edit: Okay 1983.

 

[rezuth]

oh my god, I remember these.
