My personal cut off for 'are you a Millenial' is 'do you know in significant detail where you were and what you were doing when 9/11 happened?'
If no, because you were too young, you're a Zoomer, Gen A, etc.
Yep, my definition of Millenial is mass psychic trauma based.
This is basically correct imo, the typical definition is from '81 through '96, you could probably roughly have a decently vivid memory of your parents freaking the fuck out from yourself as a 5 year old.
But anyways, yeah, I was born when the Soviet Union existed, but I don't consider myself an 80s kid, as I was born at the tail end of that decade and ... don't really remember experiencing much of it, directly.
... Well, beyond mullets, 'big' female hair, and... 80s styled glasses.
That is very US-Centric though.

The knees are fucked. The eyes are getting destroyed. The back is complete mess. The new hairs growing everywhere suck. White hair randomly appear is great, not... What even is health...
At least we are getting close to it ending.
Chronic pain is not a normal health issue for someone in their 30's.

Li'l bro energy, OP. Kids of an era were school age at least, not still suckin' a teat.

So... My grandpa was a 90's kid? Weird.
Your grandpa might've played D&D 3.5, and definitely got up to no good for several minutes in a closet/mini-van/treehouse, for starters.

90s kid doesn't mean you were born in the 90s. It means you experienced your childhood in the 90s. So if you were too young to remember, it doesn't count.
I remember watching Power Rangers and Barney in the 90's which I was born. Take that meaningless distinction.

Turning 30? Theyโve all turned 30.
There's a few years left, 96 and up

No it wasn't. Not in a per day basis. It's significant because of how much Americans talk about it yet, when so little people died compared to any bloody war since. Any dead is too many sure, but the response was to kill way more innocents so..... I don't care.

90s kids were mostly born in the 80s. If you don't remember the 90s, you aren't a 90s kid.
I'm from 94 and I do remember watching tons of anime in the tv at 5 and 6 years old. Come on dude what's with the gatekeeping.

I wanted to say this, were 40. Even more sad.

All the comments about what it means to be a 90s kid still miss the obvious fact that this is indeed what it felt like for us 10 years ago. There isn't a meme yet to describe what it feels like entering our 40s currently. Personally, it feels like the time Shredder and Krang got pulled back into and trapped in Dimension X; only we are Shredder and Krang.

I wish I could go back in time just to tell my younger self "Hey Kid, don't get your hopes up", save myself a lot of pointless struggle...
I realized recently that teenage-me was right about a lot of things I believed about the future, and I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about it.
It's like my anxiety is doing a victory dance on my hope's grave.

And I'm from '84 but I don't claim the 80s because I barely remember starting Kindergarten in '89. If you honestly feel that remembering some cartoons at the end of the 90s qualifies you, I won't deny your 90s kid membership.
Also, I hardly see this as gatekeeping. If you can't remember the decade, I think it's fair to say you're not a kid of that decade.

It makes perfect sense. Would you call a baby born today a "2020s kid"? They're a baby, they won't remember shit. They'll be a kid (and adolescent) in the 30s. That's when formative experiences will occur
I just want to say, this is the first time I've seen/heard the 2030s referred to as simply "the 30s" in a casual sentence. It still feels weird. But eh, that's life. I still remember "2002" feeling like a far-off future.

If they'd said ""All" 90s kids were born in the 80s," yeah, that would be gate-keepy. However, they used "mostly," which leaves room for outliers. If you remember the 90s, you can still fit the bill.
Which means like it or not, you're one of us.

Chronic pain is not a normal health issue for someone in their 30's.
I'm from the US. I live in a country with health care too expensive to stay on top of. Where it's normal to skip routine check-ups because they would cost too much (if you can even get a day off work in the first place.) Our jobs either do not offer vacation time, or limit any time off to something like 2 weeks or less per year. Most areas are unwalkable, while in others, any adult who rides a bike is assumed to have had a DUI (that is, people assume they lost their driving privileges. Why else no car?) Nothing about my environment is healthy.
Ergo,
I have no idea what "normal health" means.

You have to actually remember the 90s to qualify as a 90s kid, which basically excludes anyone younger than a Zillenial. If you were born in 1996-1999, you were an infant or very young in the 90s, so your memories of the time period are going to be vague at best. You can't relate to 90s kids.
Hell, smartphones had already replaced iPods by the time anyone born 1996-1999 was in middle school. That ain't no 90s kid lol. 90s kids had a cassette Walkman and dial-up internet when they were in middle school. We were still rocking CD players and flip phones even into high school. Smartphones weren't a thing until college.

Then you remember the 90s as a kid, which makes you a 90s kid.
Like the other person said, when you are born has nothing to do with it. Spending the most formative years of your childhood in the 90s is what makes you a 90s kid. Sounds like you did, so you qualify.
