I always get confused with these cuz I think I grew up during this time...like you needed to be like 7 when the 90's began to remember this all. but i also remember lots of the 80's stuff so...am I a child of the 80's or the 90's?
I feel like you. I remember a lot of stuff from the 80's too.
i was born in 77... so my childhood memories are from the mid to late 80s and the early 90s
I was born in 79, so i probably remember a lot of the same stuff you do
