Idk if anyone will respond to this lol anyway, '80s babies, what was it like growing up in the late '90s/early 2000s?
Uhhh... thats hard to answer : p Can you be more specific?
Anywho, I think it was really cool. Technology was changing, alot of things that are super popular and common now were brand new at the time. Like video games, everyone 30 and younger plays them nowadays. But in the 90s they were just becoming common. I remember playing them as a kid and thinking about how amazing they were : p And I always really liked that it brought my siblings and I together.
Adult animated tv shows are common now, but back when the only adult animated tv show was The Simpsons, I remember sitting on the floor with my brothers and sister waiting for the show to start, haha.
Pro wrestling was all the rage back then, and I remember being excited for every monday night to watch it with my dad and brothers. The cartoons in the 90s were the bomb, too. Slice of life cartoons were taking off in the 90s, with shows like Hey Arnold, that were more focused on the actual life of the characters and how the people watching them could relate to the characters. I always really enjoyed shows like that.
I remember having a ton of those Mighty Max toys along with those old Tiger Electronic handheld games. I never really did much with the Mighty Max stuff, that I can remember. But I seriously liked those Tiger Electronic games, haha. I had a bunch of them and remember spending time sitting on the couch playing them while my family watched tv : p
My parents spent alot of time watching like Mtv and VH1, and I think that had a big impact on me. Even back when I was in kindergarten, Id listen to music and imagine my classmates and I playing the music. I think it was because of that that I wanted to play music growing up.
And Power Rangers were huge, too : p I loved that show, haha. I remember when the Green Ranger debuted. I thought he was the best ever, haha. To this day I still remember the tune he played on his dagger to call his zoid thingy : p
The 2000s was a weird time in my life. I was a teenager then. Theres alot from the time I dont like to spend too much time thinking about. Also my dad left us in the late 90s, and we were poor for most of it. Like we didnt have cable or internet. In fact, I didnt even have a Gamecube until 2007, so I think I missed alot of the popular culture at the time. Theres alot I like about that decade, but at the same time I feel like I missed alot of it too. So I cant really comment on that as much.
