    Somebody 30 years old is NOT a 90s kid. They barely would have been old enough to remember the last part of the 90s. They’d be an early 2000s kid.

    People always get this wrong. What decade kid you were isn’t when you were born, it’s when you grew up. When you were like 8-16ish years old.

      Hey Arnold 1996

      Dexter’s Lab 1995

      Catdog 1998

      Animaniacs 1993

      These are all classic 90’s kid shows

      If you were 16 in 1990 I doubt you watched much of these shows

      I was born in 1990

      I still remember watching Legends of the Hidden Temple that aired 93 to 95

      I grew up on all the 90’s shows

      I’m turning 34

      I would definitely consider myself a 90’s kid

      Of course if you were born in December of 1999 that’s a lot different

      Like my brother was born in 1996 and he didn’t watch a lot of 90’s shows. Not really a 90’s kid

      But someone that is 30 today was born in 93 and that’s getting close to the cut off.

        98 here - I watched all of these and then some but I also watched all the 00s shows and cartoons. That being said I don’t consider myself a 90s kid.

        You’re not a 90s kid if you don’t know who Major Payne is

        Tell me you never went to university, without telling me you never went to university.

          I have two degrees from a university. I went in 2008.

          If you were 16 in 1990 you would have been 21 years old when Dexter’s Lab came out.

          I know when I was 21 I wasn’t watching the newest “kid” show on nickelodeon

            Dexter’s Lab was on cartoon Network, which I absolutely was watching when I was in university and as a young adult, however I was 10 in 90, but I still saw the cartoons of the early 00s, as did a lot of my friends.

      Seriously. I graduated high school in 1995 and someone who’s 30 is a 90s kid? Are they 2 Legit 2 Quit I ask you?

        They’ve never even seen a slap bracelet scar, let alone wore their pants backwards or slammed a stack of pogs with an aluminum slammer.

        Then it sounds like you weren’t a 90’s kid either. You were a 90’s teen, and an 80’s kid
