90s kids = 80s babies
Yeah, good luck with that definition. "Kid" is often used as the umbrella term for someone's offspring, which includes babies and teenagers. Some slangs even use it to refer to just a guy, even if that guy is very much adult.
You'll inevitably talk to plenty people that don't have your specific textbook definition in mind for when a baby turns into atoddlerpreschoolerkid. -
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.
Or just lived in third world country where nobody cares about 9/11

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.

9/11 was significant global news...

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? They’ve all turned 30.
There's a few years left, 96 and up

9/11 was significant global news...
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.

Isnt a 90s kid someone who grew up in the 90s not born in them? I was born in 84 and i consider myself a 90s kid and I’m certainly not 30

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 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.
