Who are the real '90s kids? Are they the ones who were actually kids during the 1990s, or the ones who just happened to be born anytime from 1990 to 1999? In my school, the latter was definitely the case because all of us were too young to remember the 90s with any clarity. My grade was half kids born in 1999 and half born in 2000, so if you were a 90s kid, that was a significant point of pride. In 2015, being born in 1999 meant you were cool and mature. If you ask kids today whether people born in 1999 are mature and cool, they'd probably say, "They're not mature. They're just old."

Whether you were born in the 90s or grew up in the 90s, we all have essential cultural touchstones that make for hilarious meme fodder. If you remember the things in these memes, you're hereby decreed a '90s kid.

    I was BORN in the 80s ...grew up in the 90. We were the last generation that learned to play in the streets. We were the first to play video games, the last to record songs from the radio onto cassette tapes, and mu- sic video onto VHS. We were the pioneers to the walkman, discman, and chatrooms. We also believed the internet would be a free world. We are the generation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Hey Arnold, Rugrats, and Doug.
