Does stuff like that REALLY matter? I'm honestly shocked at the lifespan of this thread.
89'er here. I wasn't doing much until the 90's apart from eating, sleeping and pooping, so I guess i'm a 90's child through and through.
I was born 1990 and I would consider myself a 90's kid, but even then most of the stuff I grew up with was late 90's into early 2000's (think britney spears, backstreet boys, linkin park, Blink 182). IMO the period between 5 and 15 years of age is the part of childhood where you really come into contact with pop culture (5 being somewhat of a stretch, even), so I wouldn't count you as 90's. Early 2000's though were just as awesome. Your SNES creds don't really count in that regard since you started playing it when the N64/PS1 generation was on it's height already
Not sound like too much of a prick, but maybe it's not really a great idea to express your cultural identity in purely commercial terms? I mean, there had to be more to your childhood than cartoons and video games, didn't there?
93 is early enough to have a formative connection with the decade.
77'er here. Yup, that pretty much sums up my childhood. The old NES was my 2nd system though, first one was a Colecovision. Personally, I don't really feel any connection with the 70's. The culture and music, don't interest me either.
However, I can't really connect with the 80's Teens either, even though I became one at the end of the decade. That was all 90's. especially with the music. (Metal, Grunge, Trance, Nu-Metal, etc.) The Breakfast Club wasn't really my thing either, our generation was more National Lampoon's Senior Trip.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
I was born in the early 80's, and I vaguely remember '88 or '89, but I definitely remember all of the 90's that were most of my childhood. So I consider myself a 90's kid. If I were born in the early 90's instead, I'd similarly consider myself a 2000's kid.
