It's true though
(sh.itjust.works)
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.
Yea. Born early 90s here. Just into my 30s now. I guess I "grew up" in the 00s? I was in the second grade when the towers fell.
These terms are just made up so it doesn't matter, but I always read "90s kid" to mean your childhood was during the 90s, so you were BORN in the 80s (edit: or early 90s)
I was born in 92. My childhood (part of it, anyway) was in the 90s and I do remember the latter half of them fairly well. These things are never really clear cut, especially for people born around the "change" in generations.
Yea. I have 3 little brothers. All of them are gen Z. Being so exposed to the same things they were, I often feel I have a lot more in common with gen Z emotionally, but somehow more financially with millennials.

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.

Every time I see these generational memes I think of this one.
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".
Gen X were the shitty "journalists" pushing out the generation war articles.
That's pretty good!

- I am 40. Thanks fuckers.
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.
We're all kids. We just have responsibility now so we have to pretend we don't want to sit around and play with Legos all day. None of us have "figured it out" and the only reason it seemed like adults knew what they were doing when we were kids was because adults were old enough to have fucked everything up at least once.
Like the environment! Yay!
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.
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.
Goddammit, I'm an 80s kid and refuse to accept otherwise. Now somebody please help me attach these tennis balls to my walker.
Promise you won't beat me with a pool cue til I have detached retinas?
If nobody pays the requisite $2, sure!
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!
Some of us are 30 year old women, than you very much.
I'm 1983 and I barely remember anything from the 80s aside from kindergarten
I guess you could say I was bootstrapped in the 80s and formed in the 90s
Same year here. We are xenials, to early for millenials, to late for Gen-X. We only strive the real 80s and be the real 90s kids.
83 here as well. I tend to identify with Gen-X much more strongly. I think that's because all of the music we were listening to was grunge stuff Gen-X was making.
Born in ‘81. The ‘90s were my teenage years.
I’m just a ‘90s kid with a rapidly greying beard.

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.
People gatekeeping what it means to be a 90s kid wasn't on my bingo card for today lol.
but if you were born in the 90s then you're 34 at most or 25 at least.

Is this whole thing about becoming a wizard true though?
Got recommended a video “you know your a 2000s kid when”
And I only cried for 20 minutes
