Most of you know I was raised in the 90s and therefore I am a 90s fiend. Now there's a difference between being raised in the 90s and being born in the 90s. It's like saying I was raised in the 70s because I was born in 1978.
This post is for both nostalgia and clarification for older and younger folks, especially those that don't need Google to understand everything on this list.
You were raised in the 1990s if:
- You remember exactly what day, time, and network shows such as The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, Martin, Seinfeld, Boy Meets World, Beavis and Butthead, Married With Children, and Renegade came on
- You didn't miss TGIF on ABC
- You watched the OJ Simpson trial as if it were American Idol, Scandal, The Walking Dead, or This Is Us
- You know when and where you were when the OJ verdict was announced, Mike Tyson lost to Buster Douglas, you learned of Susan Smith, Bill Clinton's infidelity, and Tupac and Biggie's murders
- You remembered when actual cartoons came on Saturday mornings
- You had a cordless house phone with the huge antenna
- You remember dial up Internet, Windows 95 and a world without smartphones and social media
- You remember that growing up in the country meant no cable and possibly no satellite since DirecTV and DISH weren't yet around
- You watched at least one of the last Super Bowls the Dallas Cowboys won
- You remember Chris Webber calling that timeout that won the UNC Tarheels the 93 NCAA championship during the Fab 5 era
- You remember watching the Fab 5 of Michigan and wearing black socks because they did
--You remember all of the awesome Michael Jordan moments: the half court slam, the 45 point flu game, him stepping away after his father passed and playing baseball and of course Marv Albert yelling "Jordan for 3!" whenever he shot the ball
- You remember the Atlanta Braves winning the World Series and cheering and crying
- You watched, possibly live in person, the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, GA
