- If any of these ring a bell: Hey Arnold, Rugrats, The Secret World of Alex Mac, SPACE CASES, Rocco's Modern Life, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Doug, Magic School Bus, Aladdin, Beavis & Butt-Head, Bill Nye the Science Guy, MR RODGERS!!!!

-You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

-You know the Macarena by heart.

-You remember watching morning cartoons then waiting to come home to see if Pinky and the Brain would finally take over the world.

-Before the Internet & text messaging pagers were cool!

...Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.

-When light up sneakers were cool.

-When you rented VHS tapes

-When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.

-When we recorded stuff on VCRs

-When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.

-When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever and the Knicks were still good.


Games for outside were:
-SPUD

-Manhunt

-Hide-n-Go Seek at dusk.

-Red Light, Green Light.

-Heads Up or 7 Up.

-Playing Kickball & Dodgeball, Baseball, Basketball until it was too dark to see.

-Going out of sight of your house with your friends was far and a daring thing to do.

-Tree Houses.

-Hula Hoops.


Or what about:
-Praying for a Class field trips.

-When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.

-When $5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle.

-When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday.

-When Toys R Us overuled the mall.


I think back on all of this and 2 things come to mind, the first is damn I'm getting old because this was about 15 years ago for me. The second is WTF do the young kids today do for fun, TV sucks, no cartoons worth watching and Its not safe to play outside anymore due to rising rate of violence in the country. Its sad because it seems that kids of today are loosing their innocence very young, their missing out on the best times of their lives.

Please Post your memory of growing up in the 90's and why the 90's was the best, pics appreciated.

[MrPayday]

I feel like I'm growing up, getting old. I'm in college, next thing I know I'll have a career, a wife, a family. It brings a tear to me eye thinking about just sitting at home happy watching cartoons with my family, renting a movie, playing N64 with my dad, being a kid in general. I wish those days would have never ended.
