Walkmans were the greatest piece of technology

You remember how to find your way using only a map and no GPS

Captain Planet. He's a Hero.

You know how to get a Furby or Tamagotchi to shut up?

You can do the macarena in your sleep

You collected pokemon cards

Doom and Quake were the best selling shooter games

You can entertain yourself without Youtube videos (oh wait, the Internet in general)

You understand the thrill of using napster

You remember how to send a fax

You remember Windows 95! (it was all down hill from there)

You survived high school without Facebook.

You can meet up with friends without the aid of mobile phones

You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos... but never taped anything funny.

You remember watching home alone 1, 2 , and 3........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.

You remember when slinkies were cool.

Captain planet, my word that brings back memories.

A cartoon which made saving the environment cool!!

[spencermax]

The Stone Roses were the coolest band on the planet

[-CADS-]

Born in '91, I guess you could say I just about grew up in the 90s.

Who the **** was Captain Planet?

[kopitte4eva]

It was a cartoon designed to encourage people to protect the environment.

Watch this, it's the intro to it.

I just realised that they all have useful powers demonstrated but the last one 'Heart' is so lame they couldn't even give an example of it being used!

[hobnobs]

Gotta say, these ones could just as easily be the eighties.

And.....You knew who drank Orange Soda!

I grew up in the 80s. All we did was play out.

[lfcstlouis]

I grew up in the 80s. All we did was play out.

That's the thing. I had this discussion with a buddy of mine. I grew up in the late 80's and I think we were the last generation to actually play outside all the time.

Nobody really had a Nintendo around my neighborhood, so all we would do all day is either play a combination of baseball, hockey, football (american/soccer) or build stuff in the dirt. We were never inside. In fact our parents would just tell us 'Go outside and do something.'

Now, kids have the xbox, the internet, etc... I'm pretty sure they only get outside to go and buy more Mountain Dew and Red bulls.

[Liverpoolforme]

Here is Captain planet's theme tune....

The words are so lame it's brilliant!

[hitmanlfc]

I grew up in the 80s. All we did was play out.

me too

[Liverpoolforme]

I live right next to a forest so spent most of my child hoods building camps and climbing trees!

[arwales]

I grew up in the 50s but I experienced the majority of those...

[christonabendybus]

So many of those don't apply to me, but I did grow up in the 90s.

And.....You knew who drank Orange Soda!

Nickelodeon in the 90s is still watchable now (for me ). I absolutely loved it.

Also, I've no idea if this is the 90s or the 80s but I gathered the majority of my history knowledge from Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?.

[RedInABed]

Born in '94, remember being aged 4 running about the street playing tag, hide and seek, man hunt and then sitting down and trading pokemon cards. Don't see any kids out playing like that round here anymore, probably too busy on their xbox's haha

[Archieuk]

you knew you grew up in the nineties, when you realise that music has never been better than it was back then.

[lfcstlouis]

you knew you grew up in the nineties, when you realise that music has never been better than it was back then.

Or when you know what a record playing is. Probably all broken now, though.

[Seamus78]

Dressing like Brian Harvey was cool.

2 Unlimited was great Euro Techno.

Kids Saturday morning TV was worth watching, even as an older teen!

White dog poo still existed.

[FightCloob]

I grew up in the 80s. All we did was play out.

Ditto that for the 70's...summers seemed to last 10 months back then...football, climbing trees, making dens, carrying a penknife without fear or seeing it as a weapon, bike rides etc...simpler times.

[FightCloob]

Clothes that were awesome in the late 70's...

Adidas Kick, Phanton and the epic Samba's
Kio strap overs
Fred perry polo shirts and jumpers
Slazenger jumpers.

And if you didn't have a Kagool in the 70's as a child...you weren't there!

True True, you'll never beat that never ending hunt for that Charizard card that you were convinced was worth alot of money. My Cousin is 8 and has just got into Pokemen (Good Lad!)

Haha, what is the heart one meant to be?

[xRedmanLFCx]

I was born in the nineties....

[lfcstlouis]

He could communicate with animals. Obviously you didn't grow up in the 90's.

I was born in 1991, and there were loads of kids about mine and my sister's age that lived on the same street. When we got back from our schools we used to play out for hours and hours just playing football and on our bikes having races. Now kids these days either daren't go out for fear of being mugged, or are muggers in general skiving off school. To say how things have changed even from when I was 10yrs old is pretty staggering.

[HeWhoShallNotBeNamed]

The nineties were ******* cool.
