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.

There's a few years left, 96 and up

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.

I remember watching Power Rangers and Barney in the 90's which I was born. Take that meaningless distinction.
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.

That is very US-Centric though.
The term Millenial orginally and specifically, academically and etymylogically in general usage... refers to generational cohorts of USAmericans.
As does Baby Boomers. As does Gen X.
You can maybe make an argument than Gen Z / Zoomers and Gen A / Alpha are more globalized, due to the massive proliferation and normalization of digital culture... but they are again still based off of a naming convention schema describing USAmericans.
So yes, I am using a US-centric definition for a US-centric term.
If ya'll want to come up with your own terms, I'm all for it, the US has long had and still does have waaaaayyy too much influence over many aspects of general internet culture, global culture in general, the other economies and societies of the world, etc.

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.
The 9/11 attacks were significant here in Australia. It was all over the news for ages and also directly led to other major changes such as a real stepping up of our airport security measures, a swathe of legislation in the name of anti terrorism, and us getting dragged into the war in Afghanistan.

Well they weren't in Spain. They were on the news ofc but not so much that I would remember what I was doing the very day they happened. I don't remember what I was doing in one of the several bombings we have had in Spain with our local terrorists even! They really have blown the thing our of proportion, really.

I'm in the US so I underhand all of that.
All I am saying is that chronic pain at 30 is not normal.
I am not suggesting anything beyond not ignoring that specific condition.
-
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
I also am confused by the timeline.

Indeed. I didn't intend to deny that. The phrase just got me thinking, and I realized that "normal health" is hard to even imagine. It would require so many things to be different. The chronic stress alone must be destroying us.

in the ‘90s*

If they were born in 78-79, they'd have spent a good 3 years of childhood in the 90's. Being 11 years old in 1990, it would be the mid-90's before they hit their adolescent years. This would make them 90's kids by the definition that they were kids in the 90's that also remember the 90's
- in the ’90s*
- would be the mid-’90s*
- were kids in the ’90s* that also remember the ‘90s*
-
That makes people born in the 80's and late 70's 90's kids...it makes no sense.
the ’80s* and late-’70s*–’90s* kids
-
"90's kids" always stuck me as a cultural thing more than being tied to a specific decade. Like if you were alive while Nickelodeon Studios was colorful and fun, then you're a 90's kid.
‘90s kid*

So... My grandpa was a 90's kid? Weird.

Chronic pain is not a normal health issue for someone in their 30's.
Chronic pain is pretty normal health issue for someone working in trades.
Well i'm not to the point of chronic but almost there.

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.
Of all the things I could have been right about, it’s this bullshit.

I'm in a disabilities chat group and we're often surprised when we're reminded that "0" is the "normal" level of pain you're "supposed to have" day to day. Everyone's baseline is different. Pain sucks. (Unsolicited fact: my back pain got much better after I started physical therapy for it. I'm glad my health insurance covered it. Next round of PT: my knees. Why they be like that? [it's probably the EDS])

If anything, I'd be more concerned that I still agree with my teenage self. Because that means that either you were a very prescient teen, or that your opinions haven't matured beyond surface-level understanding.

Born in 83, grew up in the 90s as well.

Only about half of them have turned 30 so far...
