90's Kid

In three years from when we graduate it will be the last graduating class to “technically” be born in the 90’s. In just three short years it will be the last generation to grow up on TV shows like Hey Arnold, Fresh Prince of Bell Air, Even Stevens, Saved by the Bell, and Boy meets World. It will be the last generation whose Trix cereal growing up was shaped like fruits and flowers, not spheres. It will be the last generation who cried when their tamagotchi died, who owned a cassette/CD player, and still answered their home phone.  It will be the last generation to understand the difference between Backstreet Boys and One Direction. It will be the last generation who will know that The Little Vampire came before Twilight, that the Goonies might be the best movie of all time, and that Aaron Carter was the Justin Bieber of the 90’s.

Their Disney channel will consist of shows like A.N.T farm, Dog with a Blog, and Shake it up, while ours consisted with shows like Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, and Kim Possible. You'd wake up every Saturday to watch cartoons like Power Rangers, Pokémon, and the Flintstones. The generations to come will never understand the importance of the movie SPACE JAM.

Baby bottle pops, bazooka bubble gum, and gushers will be stale. Bubble gum machines, hop scotch, and play dough will seem childish. Half time snacks will no longer consist of kool-aid and a ding dong. They’ll probably try and feed you fruit or something dumb like that since half the nation is obese these days.(exaggeration)

In just three years from when we graduate it will be the last graduating class to “technically” be born in the 90’s, and soon after that we’ll catch ourselves starting all our sentences with “When I was your age…”
