Way back.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

Who would have thought you’d miss the 90’s so much!!!

Old Nickelodeon shows were soooooooo good…

That just about sums up all of my childhood. I can’t believe that I forgot about pogs… If I remember correctly, Disney actually made <what seemed like> decent animated movies then, too!

Fortunately I’m too old to identify with most of that list.

the 90s is about when Disney started making crappy movies…except for the Lion King, that is one AMAZING movie.

i totally don’t remember any of that. but then again my family isn’t that mainstream…

Dude. Lion King…Best Disney movie ever. When I was like 8…I watched that movie everyday for a month when I got home from school.

And that list is pretty much my entire childhood. I miss the 90’s and I really miss AHHHHH Real Monsters…That was a good show. Ooo! And Angry Beavers…I REALLY miss that cartoon.

really?? i thought that never cry wolf was their best and it was ok… the book was sooooo much better tho…

wow i cant believe I forgot about all that stuff. i remember thinking my friend was living in the space age when he got windows '98. aaahh…good times

That brings up an interesting point. We are one of the last generations to be able to remember growing up in a time without the internet, in most place in the US at least. I find that sort of frightening. I remember recently seeing my 4 year old nephew playing a flash game on the Disney website and coming to this realization.

I’m on the track to a bachelors degree in computer science and I’ve recently been coming to the realization that I don’t really like computers or what they’ve done to our lives. Sure they make a lot of our lives really easy and make communication very simple but is this healthy? I wasted a good many years (age 12 - now) with the computer and what have I gained? I’ve gained underdeveloped social skills, sure I can operate in daily life and I have real world friends but I feel like I can only truly connect with someone through the computer. A good IM will do it. Where is this bringing us?

I remember this all, every single one I read through and remembered it, or looked for it in my room and still have it. Like the pogs, I still have my collections, I have a lot of stuff still from that list.

Just to set the record straight, Yo-Yo’s were cool many decades before 90s kids were born. And 90s kids can’t remember watching the 1st Batman, as that privelege was reserved for their parents and grandparents. Same with Tang, which the 60s kids were the first to enjoy, often to wash down the horrid Space Food Sticks. Both products were marketed to take advantage of the “moon race” frenzy of the decade. Those little paper fortune teller things were around in the 60s too, and probably decades earlier. Maybe the (18)60s. Speaking of the 1860s, silver dollars were pretty darn cool to have back then, and in every decade since. Finally, it pains me to point out that Troll Dolls were also originally marketed to 60s kids.

Hey, maybe it’s history just repeating itself, and 90s kids are the parallel to the 60s kids. The 60s kids went on to ingest many creative items in the 70s…is there a parallel in the 00s? I’ve been out of touch…

Okay, that just summed up my childhood perfectly. Wow.

Mine too. :smiley: :smiley: Those were the days. hahaha… AHHH real monsters was da bomb. :smiley: :smiley:

angry beavers kicked ass

Nostalgia on the part of 40-somethings and up is desperate and sad but understandable. Nostalgia on the part of teens and 20-somethings is just plain pathetic.

I don’t see how you came to either of those conclusions. Nostalgia isn’t desperate or pathetic. Please explain.

Due to raising 90’s children, I’m able to identify with too much of that list.

Thanks for that, I was formulating a similar response until I saw your post.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.

was that dinosaurs show the one with the transforming dinosaurs?

I miss Doug…
