Nope...
Because we're going off what you can remember, not when you were born.

So that would make me 0% an 80's child, because as far as im aware...
I don't remember anything from the 80's.

I only turned this into what it is, because I get tired of little kids coming along claiming they're 90's children because they read a Goosebumps book and watched a repeat of The Sooty show.

If this was a "lets remember things from the 90's topic" then fine =] as it's a "who's a 90's kid" it's a little different.

KK I get it.

So you're a 100% 90's kid, kk.

There was someone on here who was born in 1995 and claimed to be a 90's child. But their first memory would have been in 1999, so I don't think they should be given that lable at all. More of a 00s child I'd say...

Well exactly...
I mean, I was born in 1987 and I wouldn't dream of telling anyone im an 80's kid just because I remembered a couple of pieces of information from the 1980's and was born in that decade.

In ten years or more, anyone who isn't a 90's kid will be able to say they're a true 00's kid =] so everyone will have their moment. And everyone has a decade they lived all the way through at a young age.

I was born in 1982 but remember a lot of the stuff from when I was growing up. I always watched Live and Kicking, and the Saturday Night thing was my Saturday with the family spot on (now it's X Factor, Ant and Dec and Casualty that rule my Saturday nights!) And I owned a Tamagotchi and got addicted to the whole thing.

I tend to view myself as an 80's kid from when I was born even though I have more memories of the 90's - I was 8 in 1990, 13 in 1995 and 17 in 1999 so I was more of a kid in the early 90's.

There is no official ''90s child qualification'' and as you were not born in the 90s, you're CLEARLY not a ''90s child''.

''I get tired of little kids coming along claiming they are 90s children'' ... why, is it such a big deal to you? Does it really effect you that much that you need to waste your time with stats and percentages you created yourself? This as well as patronising people with the ''little kids'' comment.

This is so pathetic and petty and I can't believe I'm still going on about it.

It like saying someone who was born in 1965 isnt a sixties child, which they clearly are

its not about %

Ah yes, very clever...the typing of one word per line to create a patronising effect, just wonderful. Doesn't help you win an argument though =]

This topic isn't "were you born in the 90's?" it's purely about people who remember everything from the 90's in their childhood. Otherwise you're claiming someone born in 1999 on New years Eve at 11:59PM is also a 90's child who remembers all those things? I think not.

You're completely confusing the meaning of a 90's child.
Like I said, it has nothing to do with what decade you were born in. It's to do with the many things that went on in the 1990's and what you remember of them in your childhood.

People born in lets say, 1992, who's long term memory didn't kick in for years after that...can't remember everything from the 90's, it's as simple as that.

And there was no patronising, I was calling them little kids because of their age. Afterall, I was a little kid too once, so am I patronising myself? I was calling them little kids, because they were quite literally little kids back then =] so please don't take what I say out of context for the sake of argument, it's rather immature.

It doesn't effect me nor become a big deal for me either...
You're the one who sounds like they're making a big deal out of something.

You have no basis to argue on if you you're thinking the definition of a 80's/90's child is based on what decade they were born in. You're just completely ignoring what the topic actually is...

This is about how much people remember.
If you remember all of the 90's in your childhood, you'd obviously be a 90's child. If you don't remember it all, then you're only a certain percentage.

Ten years in one decade.
One year = 10%
Ten years = 100%
And everything inbetween.

Id hardly call that made up.

[Scarlett.]

For gods sake some people on here cant help making arguements

[Retroman]

In short...
If you're under a certain percentage, then you'd be a 00's child =]
That's the whole point in the percentages.

People who will spend most of their childhood in the 00's and remember everything from that decade, and don't remember as much from the 90's, can't enter a topic claiming that they're 90's children.

It's just that simple.

We're talking about rememberance, the title of "90's child" and decades here.
Not "when were you born?"

Personally I don't think any people born in the 1990's deserve the title of a true 90's kid. You probably don't remember much/anything at all from the first three years of your life, so that's half of the 1990's over for you already =] some people may even remember less.

I was three years old when 1990 arrived, and Im not saying this just because I fit into this category...but people born from 1985-1987 would have been the only people able to appreciate the whole 1990's decade as kids.

For those of you born in 1990 - 1994, by the time you were old enough to remember anything properly, a large percentage of the 1990's were over. Which I don't think warrants you the title of a "90's child" Im afraid. Not a proper one at least.

what are you on about,I remember everything on that list and I was born in 1990.

[Bells]

I think it depends on your memory span as well. Because I was born in 1990 and I remember loads too.

[cujo-man]

All I know is I remember alot of those things.

Anyway who cares. Who is actually to judge what kind of childhood anyone had?

[Retroman]

Lol like I said...the list doesn't matter.
If your long term memory kicked in when it was 1994 [you were four years old.] then you weren't there to remember the originals from 1990-1994 =] the original events/tv shows etc from those years.

You just grew up seeing the last half of the series, or the repeats, or the end of the craze etc.

Which is just the same as someone born in 2000 saying they're a 90's child because they bought some pogs off ebay and watched a repeat of the Sooty Show on youtube. Doesn't mean you were there to witness these things when they came about.

You were there to witness possibly 1994-2000 and all the things that went on in those years. Which isn't the whole 90's now is it?

Which is why you're not a full 100% 90's kid, just someone who was born in the 90's who remembers some things.

We don't have to argue about this...
Just acknowledge the fact that if you don't remember the entire 90's you're not a full 100% 90's kid, and possibly a 00's kid then get over it =] then continue to discuss all the lovely things you remember.

Or are you having negative reactions because you feel you're being told you weren't part of the group who witnessed the entire 90's? lol. Nothing can be done about it, so don't get so offended.

So, you might not have been there at the start of BB but you can still consider yourself a fan!

[supernoodles!]

ya know i cant beleive theres actually an argument over this,its pathetic.For once I think we should just keep our opinions to ourselves,if you class your self as a 90`s kid ie,you remember stuff on the list-well then a 90`s kid you shall be

Haha I know, it's funny that this has somehow been debated ... seriously, it was supposed to be some light hearted fun and not for somebody to bombard us with stats and percentages that mean jack .... this is why I was unable to read your response Retroman ... sorry but we'd keep going around in circuls and you seem to think you're right so I'm not planning on wasting more time.

But yeah, pogs!!

[supernoodles!]

I just posted it becuase I thought it would be interesting for those members who remember any of the things on the list.I remember all of them,pogs ruled,diddnt you get slammers which were like plastic pogs and thicker than the others lol.My fave pogs were this ones with hollograms on which my mam bought me lol.I also got givven one of my cousin with a snake on which I thought was very kind at the time lol.bless my 6 year old self.

I agree. I think this maybe got slightly out of hand.

[Wasted]

Yeah, I don't see how this turned into a debate. If most of your childhood was in the 90s and you have early memories that you are fond of from that decade then obviously you're a 90's child, or at least I think that's most of our interpretations are of what a 90s child is. I don't see how facts and figures come into it!

[supernoodles!]

exactly,im not going to be a '00 child coz I was like 10-11 and my childhood was like 90% in the 90s!We dont need people telling us oh YOUR not a 90`s child.
But anyhow.....I remeber chums lol.And when they used to take this piss out of the corrs going on about how beautiful they thought they were lol.

[Retroman]

Yes well, im an 80's child apparently...
Because I was born in 1987 and remember nothing of my childhood in the 1980's.

Nobodies arguing IF anyone's a 90's child, just that some are more than others =]

Anyhow, Chums was quite good.
I liked how they did the whole Cat and Dec thing, will they? won't they? etc.
It was just the Racheal and Ross situation taken to the extreme.

^_^

[supernoodles!]

well wouldnt that make you a 90`s child seeing as you were aged 3-13 during the 90s
