I was born in '90. Some of my most cherished memories as a kid are playing 90’s video games: Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Super Mario World 1-2, and later, the revelation that was the N64. I didn’t get to watch a lot of TV, but when I did I loved 90’s cartoons like Dexter’s lab and Arthur (and Mobile Suit Gundam Wing whenever I could catch it, though that was exceptionally rare)
I vividly remember people stockpiling for Y2K and my mom turning on a radio to listen to the reports of 9/11.
I’m definitely a 90’s kid, and so is my brother who is a year younger than me ('91).
You sound like you’re arguing against me and reinforcing what I said at the same time. I said roll back being a 90s kid to like 1991. You’re saying you and your brother born in 90 and 91 are 90s kids. So did I?
Oh God, Y2K. My dad was in the Air Force and his unit was responsible for a big base’s networking. My dad had to go into work that night as they expected the entire base’s network to just erupt. We were all so worried about it and then … Nothing happened at all, he was home by 2am.
I don’t really know what all the common folk were expecting. All that shit was being updated for several years to be ready for 2000. I think it was just a combination of the thrill of things possibly going haywire, along with still being a general ignorance among a large portion of people about computers and programming.

Ah yeah I thought you were saying '91 isn’t a 90’s kid, sorry.
