What is 90's kids?
A distinct and frequently overlooked cultural micro-generation that exists between Gen-X and Millennial. Those who qualify were typically born between '78 and '84 and experienced most of their middle and high school years, or essentially 'came of age', during the 90's while being immersed in the youth culture of the time.
"I was born in '90-something, I'm such a 90's kid."
"Not exactly, though I understand why you might be confused. You see, 'kid' is a rather open ended term . . . "
"Ugh, stop gate-keeping Rocco's Modern Life"
"I'm not. Everyone can like Rocco's Modern Life. However, considering I'm usually grouped in with Millennials or Gen-Xers, I don't appreciate my generational moniker being hi-jacked by someone because they think it's a cool thing to be able to call themselves. The term 90's kid was used, both by us and to describe us, well before Reddit or Urban dictionary even existed. We were here first, it's ours, you can't have it."
"Umm, do you even know what 'kid' means?"
"Yes, I already . . . do you need me to spell it out? 'Kid' doesn't necessarily mean 'child'. Hell, even 'child' doesn't necessarily mean child. The flower children of the 60's were teenagers, I refuse to believe this has to be explained to you."
"Lalalalala, I can't hear you, cuz I'm such a 90's kiiiiid."
"sigh* . . . . . . fucking Millennials."
-A rough transcription of a conversation I had a few years ago.

90's kids - what is it?
A 90's kid is someone who was a kid in the 90's. To determine what a 90's kid is, we have to define "90's" and "kid".
90's - Personally, I consider the 90's period to have been about late 1991 to 2001; if I had to put dates on it, it's July 1, 1991 (the midpoint of 1991) to September 10, 2001 (due to the tragic and massively changing events of the next day), however years as early as 1989 and as late as 2003 can be considered to have 90's influence.
Kid - Not a toddler or a teen; personally, I'd consider a kid age 4 - 12, inclusive, however the "kid" period could start as early as 2 or as late as 14 for some people.
What I would consider a 90's kid would be someone who spent a majority of their kid years in the 90's; ergo, born January 1, 1983 - March 10, 1993. The "perfectly 90's" kid, who spent the entirety of their kid years in the 90's would be born July 1, 1987 - September 11, 1988. However, due to personal experience, someone born outside this range could still be a 90's kid, and someone born inside this range could be an 80's or 00's kid. So if you're born in, say, 1981 or 1994 (or any time between the late 1970s and late 1990s) and consider yourself a 90's kid, have at it. There's also hybrids of two decades and all kinds of other stuff, it's not a hard line.
Person A was born July 17, 1988, obviously a 90's kid.
Person B was born June 4, 1983, they're a 90's kid.
Person C was born December 25, 1992, they're a 90's kid.
Person D was born January 26, 1984, but they consider themselves an 80's kid, they're an 80's kid.
Person E was born August 31, 1992, but they consider themselves a 00's kid, they're an 00's kid.
Person F was born May 2, 1981, but they consider themselves a 90's kid, they're a 90's kid.
Person G was born February 19, 1995, but they consider themselves a 90's kid, they're a 90's kid.
Person H was born December 6, 1973, they're too old to be remotely a 90's kid.
Person I was born March 19, 2002, they're too young to be remotely a 90's kid.
What does "90's kids" mean?
people born in the early 90's who like to talk shit about younger generations not knowing shit that happened while they were babies. they tend to aim for hipster life styles and consult their tumblr as often as possible. often make posts on Facebook that relate to their childhoods and how the younger generation shouldn't go to parties and the younger generation is stupid or sad and that they want to die because that post apparently gave them cancer and all that jazz. in all honesty they show them selves to be jealous of the younger generation because they mainly talk shit about how they didn't do what the younger generation do now.

90's kids - meaning
1. Predominately a term to describe someone who spent a majority of their pre-adolescent childhood in the 1990's. The sweet spot for this definition is people born between the mid-to-late 80's and early 90's. It is often used as a warm, comforting label. This use of the term is also often exploited as a buzz word in clickbait articles, which are written to appeal to the nostalgia of the reader.
2. The term has also more recently been co-opted by slightly younger individuals, and can more broadly be applied to anyone born in the 1990's. (Though people who follow the first definition often disagree with this use of the term.)
1. Greg was born in 1988, and considered himself a real 90's kid. He still has his original Terminator 2 action figures, and used to eat Dunkaroos while watching new episodes of "Batman: The Animated Series" when he was a kid.
2. Steve considered himself a 90's kid because he was born in 1997. Greg did not agree with this, and thought Steve should be considered a "2000's kid," as that's when Steve spent the majority of his childhood.
90's kids - definition
is the term for a grown man who was born in the late 80's or early-mid 90's who thinks that anything new for kids' programming is not high in quality because they didn't grow up with it or because since they're adults then they have higher standards.
90's Kid: Wow! Adventure Time and T.U.F.F. Puppy suck!
Kid: Why?
90's Kid: Because...because...Because they weren't made in the 90's. That's why!
Kid: You're an idiot.
90's kids - slang
1. Someone whose childhood was significantly influenced by the 1990's.
2. What has become a meaningless term for anyone who remembers their childhood, thanks to overuse by prematurely nostalgic teenagers and young adults.
1. Billy is a prime 90's kid, being born in 1987. His first memories started in 1990 and he became a teenager in 2000.
2. Person 1: "Only 90's kids will remember playgrounds, rock paper scissors, Samurai Jack and hide and seek."
Person 2: "Dude, playgrounds, rock paper scissors and hide and seek still exist. And Samurai Jack isn't even from the 90's."

90's kids
A label that a group of snotty people in their mid twenties to early thirties give themselves because in 2016, Buzzfeed did an onslaught of "oNlY nInEtEeZ kIdZ wIlL rEmEmBuUrR tHiIiIsSsS" listicles, following a trend of them, bragging about "how our generation was so much better" and when trends like "the floor is lava" and fidget spinners came along, an outbreak spread of these jerk-offs bashing "the youths" like they were crochety old people, yelling at them to get off their lawn. Now, in 2018-2019, people have finally picked up on how this behaviour is dumb as hell.
90's kid: Hey James, when were you born?

James: You know what? Shut the hell up. You think you're SO COOL, being a pretentious bastard about your "prime era kids shows" when there's plenty of new cartoons coming out that are maybe even better than the 90's stuff. You just refuse to watch it and say you hate it because it wasn't made in your glorious decade. Screw you.
