Were you a 90's kid?

Me? Yes. Hell yes.
Namely because I recognized EVERY FUCKING SINGLE ONE OF THE THINGS BELOW.
And remember them whether it was for liking them (All That, Bill Nye, Sonic the Hedgehog), disliking them (never cared for Salute Your Shorts, or AYAOTD?), or because it just plain proves how low TV has gotten today (I absolutely agree with their assessment of Johnny Bravo). Hell, I even owned a Tamagotchi and kept it alive for over five weeks before it died - of old age.
To my fellow forumites who, through no fault of their own, sadly missed the 90s: You missed a rather bizarre decade where which began with us being coddled due to lingering fears that the Russians (or as they were occasionally called then, the Soviets) would wipe everyone the fuck out with nuclear war, and so our parents babied the living hell out of us at times just in case the nuclear fire hit the sky, to the return of American animation as a powerhouse in the early-mid 90s (only to be somewhat displaced by Japanese animation late in the decade, but we all know that I'm sure), and just plain weird shit that really couldn't fly in modern times anymore like Barbie dolls that grew breasts when you cranked their arms.
Ah, 90s. What a magical decade. I'll be looking forward to everyone else waxing nostalgic about it in another 10 years or so.
And then I'll weep, because the 2000s will strike in the 2030s and that's when it all fucking went to hell.
