Children of the 90s. (And 80s!!!)

[darko]

I grew up in the 90s and I'm sure most of you did too. So I have a few questions for you:

What was the best/your favorite 90s movie?

What was the best/your favorite 90s cartoon?

what was the best/your favorite 90s TV Show?

What was the best/your favorite 90s band?

If you could bring back a single clothing trend from the 90s what would it be?

What is/was your favorite game of the 90s (that you actually played in the 90s)

Only 1 rule: Any TV series or cartoon had to start in the 90s (so no DuckTales, unfortunately).

If you grew up in the 80s just sub 80s for 90s!

My answers are:

Empire Records
Batman: The Animated Series
The X-Files
Nirvana
Jnco (not that I would wear Jnco jeans today, but they were freaking awesome).
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Illusion of Gaia (sorry, I have to have 2).

Do I have to create my own 80s thread? I'm old.

Haha, I'm pretty sure I'm with Matt and Tpug on this one. :|

[darko]

I mean, I'm not exactly young...I was born in the 80s but I can remember the 90s vividly.

[madmax]

I was born in 89 so I'm somewhat of a 90s child

Independence Day
Animaniacs
Friends
Slipknot
When I see people trying to bring the 80s and 90s back, a little part of me dies inside.
Diablo

Born in '85, so I guess mine is 90s

Movie - Dick Tracy
Cartoon - Seriously, too many. Doug, Rugrats, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Darkwing Duck, Spiderman... the list is almost endless.
TV show - See cartoons.
Band - Disturbed
clothing trend - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being worn by everyone because it was the thing.
Game - Toejam and Earl: Panic on Funkotron

'83 here so I did 80's instead, sorry. Also, I'm not doing my favorites NOW, I'm doing what I remember most fondly.

Movie: The Dark Crystal
Cartoon: Care Bears
TV: Who's the Boss? (My mom LOVED this show, so we never missed it. Haven't seen it since it originally aired though.)
Music: I didn't listen to music in the 80's or 90's much. My first concert was Savage Garden.
Fashion: Totally the pink/neon green combo'd clothes.
Game: Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) or Jumpman Jr. (ColecoVision). I put more time into those two games than I watched Who's the Boss?...

I was born in 82, So I went with 80s also. like @amauriel this is totally based on nostalgia.

Movie: Big (I still watch this nearly once a week)
Cartoon: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
TV: Golden Girls, I'm pretty sure my family never missed an episode
Music: - I didn't listen to music as a kid.
Fashion: SLAP BRACELETS!
Game: Centipede or anything I could get my hands on in an Arcade, or lots and lots of Frogger on our Atari.

[matt]

Born in 79.

Movie: The Goonies
Cartoon: He-Man/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
TV: Mr. Wizard
Music: Poison
Fashion: Parachute pants (had one pair and thought I was Micheal Jackson)
Game: I will forever remember playing Kool-Aid Man, ET and Pac-Man on the Atari 2600

Also want to point out that my generation had the best stuff. Fact.

[darko]

I was born in '83 but I consider myself a child of the 90s. Maybe a child of 1988 through the 90s. I definitely remember slap bracelets and parachute pants! If I was going to go 80s I would do:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom/Batman
TMNT
Alf
Beetlejuice Soundtrack
Slap Bracelets
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

[scott]

Ya, I had a problem focusing on either really. If I went 90s I'd prolly go something like.

Movie: The Sandlot
Cartoon: TaleSpin
TV: Friends
Music: The Offspring
Fashion: I hated all 90s clothing.
Game: Diablo or Warcraft II

[monochrome]

Movie:  The Lion King
Cartoon:  Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) -- since TMNT started in the 80's.
Music:  Garbage
Fashion:  ska-punk
Game:  Donkey Kong Country
