i was born in 1994 i think thats considered a millenial? i have mixed feelings about it, one hand i adored my childhood and having a good balance of internet and actual normal socialisation. i think it was a great time to grow up, however the quality of life we have compared to our parents is a joke, my parents put a £100 deposit down on their house in the 80s!

completely torn between saving money for travelling/experiences or for houses/property. how the hell do people live their lives just saving constantly? my 20s have been fun but i barely have any savings now and i feel awful for it cus every other 27 year old around me has a house, kids or at least something to show for themselves.
Best year to be born 🤪 it often blows my mind to think our generation are the last and only to know what life what like both with and without social media/living in the digital world! Bittersweet

Hehe yeah, he was nothing short of legend 😛

Eta: On reflection, I say this as if I gave a legitimate F about him and didn’t actually make a beeline for the Olsen twins movies in the video store. My brother loved Jackie Chan and I had to acquire a taste 😂

The Disney Channel used to be great as well back in the day - Recess, Honey I Shrunk the kids, Home Improvement, Boy Meets World, Lizzie McGuire and let's not forget the greatest 8 Simple Rules

They also used to have a big Disney movie once a week

Is it just me or were anthropomorphic animals overrepresentated in the cartoon demographic of the 80s/90s? I was obsessed with:


Bucky O Hare
Animals of farthing wood
The Raccoons
Thundercats
Gummi Bears
Rescue Rangers
Tailspin

No wonder so many in our generation ended up as furries!

I bloody hated Arthur though, insipid little moralising gobshite that he was. Complete wet blanket. I remember a very heated school discussion on what animal Arthur was even meant to be🤣 I think we all decided on some kind of super dull speccy four eyes tiny eared mouse. (Looking back, he was an aardvark, wasn't he)

Born in 1992. Lots of memories from other poster but I also remember

Furbys
Baby born/baby choochoo and that baby that ate the cherries on a plastic spoon. They just shot up the spoon 🤣.
I also collected China dollls. Can't shift them now 😁
Bubble bags, blow up furniture
Peddle pushers and clogg shoes!
Those round bath melt things you used to get maybe oil beads?
Groovy chick
I also had a pair of trainer skates. They were soo heavy with giant wheels inside. You pushed a button to rollerskate.
My first phone was the Nokia 3310 with the classic Winnie the Pooh case!
TURKEY TWIZZLERS
Trouser skirts 🥺
Crazy broad hair tool. Just used to know my hair
Even had a mannequin doll to cut hair!
I miss it!

Starring Pat Sharp and his erstwhile mullet!

Loved Fun House. If you have a spare twenty minutes, watch an old episode on YouTube, it really made me laugh. We all wanted a go in the Fun House when we were little but the prizes are so laughably crap even by 1990s standards. And the questions really hard for children! "You have won...a geometry set! Well done, you managed to snag...the snake and ladders board game! Oooh! You went down the skippy slide to grab...a retractable pencil! Ooh, bad luck, you just missed out on the...neon bumbag (for one, you'd have had to take turns to share) Now on the buzzers for the grand prize - a camping weekend in the Peak District in mid November, no tents! Oooooh! Now, what is the name of the harbour that the Sydney Opera House was originally built on according to which famous architect?" The kids were about eight!!

that sounded familiar so I looked it up, I think I probably watched an episode or two of it. But it didn't last long so..
