See, now NATO Boy posted a list I can actually identify with. The other ones were sketchy, but NATO Boy'd list hits home for me.
heh.. pogs.
That's cause lots of you are way too young & probably weren't even a twinkle in mommy & daddy's eye.....ah, 80-90s were the good ole days!!
By the way, it was Voltron.....the cats formed into the robot thing. ;D

I miss pogs, mine got stolen.
Pokemon (i hated that game)
There was no zero tolerance policy at school. (a push was a push and you got in a little trouble, not an assult charge.)
no call waiting (early 90's)
no online piracy programs (until late 90's that I'm aware of)
climbing trees and building forts was cool, so were snow ball fights.
"All day i dream about sex" (Adidas)
Tupac and Biggie die. (i was 11 in 96, but i still listened to both of them alot.)
5 words
Big League Chew bubble gum
Edit: the Blue Jays were still cool and the Raptors were just starting.

Born in 88. O wonderful youth. Back when YTV was cool - the Alley, cartoons that would later be rehashed and disembowled by japanese folks who have better things to do, and re-merchandised by executives who have the same amount of imagination as the walls which contain them. Those simple days, before the internet, when Pee Wee Herman was a celebrity for the right reasons. Before the proliferation of bad music. Before the proliferation of the reality of the world we face. When everything could be taken lightly, without some kissass PC douchebag whining, and without any Pirates from Utah to kick them in the throat. The days when punk was punk, not fashion class, when pop was writen by performers; when cartoons were drawn; when all the bad stuff was "over there". When I managed to go through life without any memory of the Quebec Referendum, without knowing of the fall of the Soviet Union, without being aware - those were the days.

You know you are old when:
You take the family van to the Island to pack your crap into to move back toPEI Gagetown instead of the car ... and find a CD of your daughter's that she has titled "Oldies"
Only to throw it in the CD player to find the first song is
Marcy Playground Sex & Candy followed by
Matchbox 20 Push then
Smashmouth Allstar ...
but then bust a gut laughing at the 4th song:
Pearl Jam The Last Kiss
thinking if only she heard the original CC Riders version ... she could then have validated an "Oldies" label on her CD.
Now, I'm going to admit that it just took twenty minutes for me to type up this post because I was beebopping around the friggin' livingroom dancing to all the videos as I pulled them up to link in.
Man, I am getting old.
Edited to change PEI to Gagetown ... frig, I do have oldsheimers. :-[

My daughter took all my 70s and 80s CDs of Zep, Floyd and BOC. Glommed onto them for about 3 years and now complain about how old and simple they are. Death Metal is the new 'in' until next week.

You know yo were raised in the 80-90's when you get every Robot Chicken and Family guy joke going.
OK I have to admit. I don't know what the hell it was. Maybe the paint fumes from re doing my sitting room or what ever.
I went down to pick up my 15 year old at school. Theres a Timmie's right next to it so I like most parents park there get a double double and wait.
I am getting a whiff of some fresh air, Drinking a coffee and chilling to some oldies. (Cat Scratch Fever, Dr. Love,) I was really chillin to the tunes. School lets out. And I get caught up in the moment Suddenly its 1985 again.
The door opens up suddenly and I hear a "hi daddy"
The tunes go off I switch to a country music and I feel dirty and ashamed.
My daughters Boyfriend really likes the oldies too. He was really impressed with my GNR collection and some of my Old Vinyl Records.
