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.

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.

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)

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.

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”.

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.
