You may have heard me say that I am NOT a fan of the 80's. Although I am a product of that decade, I take no enjoyment in any part of it, clothes, music, hair, movies (Goonies anyone?), you name it. My parent's generation and yes, even some of you my friends, are proud members of 80's culture. However, I am here to tell you that it can never compare to the 90's! I have my best memories from this decade, so I would consider myself a 90's kid. Since most of you are around my age, I'm sure you are too. But keep reading to see if you fit the 90's kid prototype.
You're a 90's kid if:

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.
When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.
When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.
When 2Pac and Biggie where alive.
When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.
Bill-Nye the science guy.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear:
Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much?! You're a 90's kid if you smiled and laughed at 5 of these.
