Suddenly, everybody hates me - because I'm a child of the eighties.
 

Ignoring the old farts rambling on about Wham! in the other thread, I thought I'd be all nostalgic about those of us who were born in the eighties and grew up in the nineties.

-The yo-yo craze
-Magic shoelaces
-The first GameBoys and Nintendos
-Pokemon cards
-Snap bracelets and shag bands
-Pogs
-Take That, Boyzone, the Spice Girls

but but 90's kids smell!

i remember all of those but wasn't interested in any of the gamyboy things.

i used to LOVE SM:TV i nearly died when ant and dec read my email and i went to bed the night before they left and woke up at about 3am with a huge poem about them leaving, it rhymed perfectly too, so i sent it in and i didnt hear anything off them, i can only remember the last lines now
'All because the producer's mother,
wanted Brian from big Brother' i can't remember the rest lol. you forgot to put on funhouse, and 'Taz' bars (as opposed to freddos), erm.... when i think of more i'll add it, mand x

i dont hate you. most of my friends were born in the 80's. i wasnt but i know a lot that were..
and 90's kids dont smell Maffew! and i know you dont like being called Maff but keep saying things like that and i'll keep calling you Maff!

Pogs were actually amazing.

What about Tamagotchi's?
Or *shudders* FURBY's? Good god those things were pure EVIL I tell you.
