I just did that this month. Made it to the 40. The 90s are as far away from now, as the 60s were from the 90s.
This month like June?! Me too! High five! But not to hard don't wanna sprain a wrist...
At least you're not 50, like me. Ugh.
Some of us are 30 year old women, than you very much.
A 30 year old would be a 2000s kid.
Why do people get this wrong. It's not about the decade you were born in, it's about the decade you spent most of your formative childhood in.
Roughly, kids born in the 70s were 80s kids. Born in the 80s were 90s kids. Born in the 90s were 00's kids. Born in 00s were 10s kids.
2024 = 2030
Interesting math you've got there
Somebody born in the 2000's was a 2010's kid
Why?
Because in 2013 a person born in 2000, would be a 13 yo. Kid?
A person born in 2004 (like me) would be a 13. Yo in 2017 for example.
Don't be sad. I think 30 is a good age to be politically effective in the upcoming class war against the fascists and capitalists.
Jokes on them, 90's kids are pushing 40.
I graduated in 1998 and I'm 44.
sad 50 year old noises
... jk, being 50 has been awesome.
How's the back pain?
A lot better than it was in my late 20s.
what a comeback
You're welcome back!
People gatekeeping what it means to be a 90s kid wasn't on my bingo card for today lol.
Don't say that... I'm a 40 year old man. I was a kind in the 90s, I wasn't born in the 90s.
but if you were born in the 90s then you're 34 at most or 25 at least.
24 at least till year is over
Ah, right right, because it hasn't been a full 25 years since 1999 until the year is complete. For some reason I was thinking 2024 - 25 = 1999
rounding error
A decade of births aren't a rounding error, lol.
Who cares. There's nothing good about the 90s. We just got sucked into capitalism.
Well that's... certainly an opinion o.O

It was ok. Nothing amazing.
Arguably, the 90s had been the most peaceful (with the exception of few conflicts) and most prosperous decade. The world was just coming out from the spectre of the cold war as a result of collapse of communism, and globalisation is ramping up with many countries signing free trade agreements. But if you ask me, the 00s is arguably more peaceful and more prosperous decade than the 90s, because there were fewer conflicts and we're enjoying the full peak economic prosperity of globalisation and free trade. However, globalisation is mismanaged and we were living in borrowed time during the era as deregulation of free trade led us to the Great Recession. And now we're in downward spiral since with economic austerity having been applied; more conflicts spewing again; and nativist counterculture is trying to reverse globalisation.
Got recommended a video “you know your a 2000s kid when”
And I only cried for 20 minutes
90s kids are hitting 40 now (or soon)
Signed, a 90s kid
Depends on the definition. Growing up in the 90s, yes. Born in the 90s, no, not quite yet.
It's in the name. If you were a kid in the 90s, you're a 90s kid. Babies are not the same as kids. Kids can cover a wide range of ages, as they can be referred to as that their whole life with a certain kind of phrasing.
I get the line is debatable, but I feel like consistent early conscious memories is about the starting line for "kid". I've never really heard of it being used to mean when they're born in conversation.
This is just my experience, but I've never heard of this particular molehill.
Generally it refers to the decade you most associate with childhood memories. Usually babies are the decade before. So 80's babies are 90's kids. Of course this is all super generalized because humans are born everyday.

Every time I see these generational memes I think of this one.
Gen X were the shitty "journalists" pushing out the generation war articles.
I use used to use these terms to describe a time period and its history until I couldn’t even get out my thought without it turning into a us v them situation.
The oldest Gen Alpha kids are 14 now, older than the kid in the picture.
It's going to be so funny when generation beta gets old enough to dunk on.
i mean it's in the name
They start next year! Is Gen Gamma gonna be next? The generation naming is getting pretty lazy. Maybe a different name will stick, like "Millennial" did instead of "Gen Y".
