The 15 Defining Traits of a 90's Kid

90s kids [ˈnʌɪntis kɪds]

Definition

A group of human beings that have spent some part of their childhood in the 1990s, regardless of whether they were born in the 80s or late 90s. This peculiar demographic possesses an unusual degree of pride and attachment to what they refer to as a “Golden Era”, and holds the 90s above all other decades.

A 90s kid typically possesses one or more of the following qualities:

1. Nothing in the world can annoy a 90s kid more than this 27 second clip of dial up internet noise, in an era when the idea of WiFi would have sounded more like wizardry than reality.

2. …although MSN nudges back in the day came pretty close.

4. On the other hand, what “I’m blue, da ba dee da ba da, da ba dee da ba da” means will forever remain a mystery.

5. It is also not uncommon for 90s kids to spontaneously sing “HITT ME BABAY ONE MORE TIMEEE” whilst in the shower, not even remotely concerned how inappropriate that may sound when taken out of context.

7. It was the GameBoy Color and a certain creature from a certain game that taught all 90s kids the importance of patience. Splash!
