MysticalRunt (68) 6 years ago

I know I was a child of the late 80's early 90's. You know you're a child of the late 80's, early 90's if...


Snap bracelets were always getting you into trouble at school (Yeah, we used to take the cloth off... It was more painful that way)

You collected 'My Little Ponies' (do you remember their show?)

You had a crush on one of the 'New Kids On the Block' (Jon, he was so quiet and mysterious)

You watched 'TGIF' every Friday night

You have a special place in your heart for 'Back to the Future

You were able to breakdance...or wish you could

You had Garbage Pail Kids cards

You remember what Michael Jackson was black

You owned a doll with 'Xavier Roberts' signed on its bum... CABBAGE PATCH KIDS!!!

You remember MC Hammer

You wanted to be on Star Search or Solid Gold-

You remember when there was no Barney

You owned any cassettes

You remember watching 'Full House', 'Saved by the Bell', 'the Wonder Years', 'Coach', and 'Cheers' for endless hours when they were new episodes

You know the meaning of "Wax on, wax off"

Friendship bracelets were promises that could never be broken

You remember when 'the Artist' was known as 'Prince'

You remember Madonna in her 'cone stage'

You remember the words to 'Ice, Ice Baby'

You knew what Willis was "Talkin' 'bout"

You wore mulitiple pairs of socks during the summer just to look 'hip'

You can still recite the rap to the 'Fresh Prince of Bell-Air'

You listened to 'the Bangles' or just wore them (the band and the bracelets)

Two words...'Trapper Keeper'

You owned a pair of 'Hammer Pants'(aka harem pants)

You wore Jellies, Converse, LA Gear, Keds, or Rebok shoes

You couldnt get enough hairspray on those bangs

You had 'Wonder Woman' or 'Superman' underroos

You remember watching 'Nickolodean' for endless hours on end and knew what a Dare, Double Dare or Physical Challenge was

You had more than one 'Star Wats' action figure

You can recite the theme to 'Duck Tails', 'Dark-wing Duck', and 'Goof Troop'

'Party like its 1999' seemed so far away

You remember when rollerblades were the 'new' thing and noone but the nerdy kids wore them at the roller rink

You wanted to pick a lock with a toothbrush like 'MacGyver'

You or someone you knew had 'Polly Pockets', 'Transformers', 'Big Wheels', 'Little People', or'Popples'

You spent hours building and re-building 'Lego' cities

Your wordrobe consisted of stretch pants, hypercolored shirts, big hoop earings, and leg warmers

You remember signing back-up on your playskool tape recorder!

You remember when 'Ren and Stimpy' was a new show and were still in the closet

Your parents wouldn't let you watch 'the Simpsons' because it was inappropriate

You held hotwheel races down your street

You remember when MTV was all about 'Rock hard' videos and 'BIG' hair (Hell, I remember when MTV played music...)

Does "heros in a half shell" mean anything to you? (TURTLE POWER!!!)

Everything was "rad", "totally awesome", and "tubular"

You were upset when 'He-man', and 'She-Ra'got cancelled

'Ghost Busters' were the ones to call

How many trolls did you have?

I'm just about the same as you and remember more than a half of the things you've mentioned there...I feel a bit sad for not being born a bit earlier though, it would have been great to have grown in the 80's, it would have been some totally wicked times...but guess I can't really complain when looking at my current lifestyle anyway :D

I remember all of that. I think I am finally starting to feel "old", lol. I was born in 1976, too. Just turned 30 last month. I don't think of myself as 30 but then I get around younger people, even college kids and I feel so old sometimes.
