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

- would be the mid-’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.

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.

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

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

9/11 was significant global news...
Yes and no, I heard about it in the UK but it didn't mean much. I was about 10 at the time. Usually when people talk about it online people of a similar age in the US seem to have had more of an impact.
It wasn't something we talked about, teachers didn't put it on or have a talk with all of us about it. Just heard about it on TV the next morning as the TV was on and oh that's a thing.

How are your fourties???

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.
To me it feels like every year a new joke from Rocko's Modern Life that I didn't get at age 8 becomes relevant.

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.
Easier to just co-op your terms and make them global. Not like English speakers can complain about that

'96 and up are not 90s kids, that's Gen Z .
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.
ay yo fr fr — people born 1997+ = Gen Z, 1981–1996 = Millennials. facts.
but lowkey memory flex ain’t everything: being a “90s kid” vibe = grew up with 90s culture/trends during your formative years, so someone born 1996 might catch some 90s vibes while a 1999 baby probs won’t remember squat.
still, calling 1996–1999 “not 90s kids” is kinda cap if you mean strict generational cutoffs — 1996 is widely used as the millennial cutoff (Pew et al.). so both takes hit different lanes: one’s about birth-year labels, one’s about lived memories.

There's no rules. Millennials are called that because they hit adulthood around 1999-2001ish. So all children in the 90s.

How are your fourties???
It’s alright for the most part. I’ve worked in the mining industry for 20 years now and I slowly paying the price. I have a bad back and I’m slowly losing my hearing. And yes I did take all the precautions to prevent this I think it’s just long term effects of the job. Beyond that it’s ok being 42. I have been trying to take better care of myself since Covid I have been eating better and I do morning stretches and light weight lifting. I wish i would have started doing more when I was younger.
