92! 92! I was absolutely turrified that you'd flame me for my lack of years on earth. BUT! I had 3 older brothers & parents who bought us old toys...so we played with pogs even after they weren't cool anymore & played N64 even after play station had been invented. Ps. I can school any of your in N64 MarioKart.
um i had regular nintendo. None of this N64 BS. and Pogs? What the tarnation are pogs?
I'm 1981 and husband 1975. I'm not old, I'm awesome.
We had awesome movies: Back to the Future, Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's day off. There are too many to mention! I found Nirvana, Pearl Jam and the Offspring in the 90's. What a fantastic time of discovery. (I recently discovered Judas Priest, Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden, a big thank you to my awesome husband!!)
There was no internet, no Facebook or Instagram. It was a time free of cell phones and selfies.
I enjoy everything that has come with time but I don't let it consume me, I guess I'm Old-School that way and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I briefly remember some kids having these in middle school, but then I think those and slap bracelets got banned because some idiot poked their eye out. So I never played with them.

Oh my dear god. N64 makes you think you're old school?
I have an Intellivision from 1977 with fake wood paneling. That thing is my shit.
Yep, I had an Atari, and that's it. o__O

So are we '82ers in the old club or the young club? I feel so torn!
Right?!
Sign me up when you decide if we '82ers are old or young. And sign cabbage patch up too.
I'm with you guys, and I vote young.
'82 here as well...I'm thinking young. I decided many years ago that I won't feel old until 2018 - the year that babies who were born the year I graduated high school will graduate high school
4 more years of youth ahead of me!!
I like the way you think! I'm totally down with that logic!!
Confession: I helped my parents clean out my childhood bedroom and found my old Tamagotchi and Nano Baby last year. I may or may not have replaced the batteries and kept those suckers alive for a few months.
Agh polly pockets! I had a billion! I also had a tamagotchi and an original furby!
I just read this thread..i should have known this would have got off topic- But i will add- I am a March 1990 baby. Glad to know i am not the youngest.

I have an original Furby too!!! I wonder if it's worth anything.
I remember when they re-did Polly Pocket because the originals were a choking hazard. I probably have like 8-10 original sets and I turned out just fine. Wussies.

I know right! I never choked ever on them. Well, i did put them in my mouth because my sister wanted to play with the person i wanted too...so theres that. Haha Now, my sisters furby freaked me out (and they still do) and i kind of broke it. Oops!
Ok. Raise your hand if your first computer had *actual* floppy discs. Where you had to put the system disc in and then after it loaded you had to change discs for every program you ran. And everything was an awful shade of green. Oh yeeeeaaaah. We had it good!
Heck yes. We had an original Mackintosh (before they got all trendy and shortened it to Mac). Floppy discs were awesome.

Oh yeah. The best game was chip's challenge.
Another 82 here! Oregon Trail anyone?
87 here, but we had to play Oregon Trail in history and computer class! My family always died of typhoid fever.
Please tell me everyone on here is old enough to drink because , sweet baby Jesus, am I going to feel elderly if that is not the case!!!
I'm a '93 baby. ::hides behind her turkey, mustard and pepper jack cheese sandwich:: Please be kind to the baby of the forum. I won't be legal to drink until the beginning of December.
Well I'm glad to know I'm not the youngest! I'm here to represent 1990.
I fear nothing I say in this forum will ever be taken seriously again, at this point. My only experience with the Oregon Trail was one day in high school history, for about five minutes. >_> The only other thing I even recognize is the Skip It toy. Those things destroyed my ankles in gym class. And yet... they were the most sought after recess shiz EVER.
Oh and I was completely convinced that if I practiced hard enough I too could do the care bear stare. I would seriously spend hours trying to do this. Apparently I really like teddy bear type stuff as a small child lol

'85 baby here. We seriously had some of the best games, toys, shows. It makes me sad that my baby won't have those. I don't really know what the popular toys/shows are now, but I guess I will be learning.
-------------- Lmao. I feel like you just implied I'm old. Lol. I was in grade 8 when we still used this. We also shared computers with 4 local schools. We got them for 2 months each. Now I FEEL old. Um, who wants a 15 month old while I have a newborn?!?! :-SS
When I was in COLLEGE we would occassionally get dittos (that was 15 years ago though.... ouch). But I think I had some old school teachers cause even then we were all "what the Eff?"
I remember in Jr. High when you got one of those fresh purple stained ditto sheets. Everyone would just inhale deep! And we had a computer closet - once a week we would all gather our chairs around the closet and stare at the green blinking screen. So weird how fast things change!
Re: DH used a primer with VOCs - so angry!
I went to Disney World and got a Lion King Slammer with Simba on it. I pretty much ruled my neighborhood.

Anyone else record songs from the radio to a cassette, just to listen to them over and over again?
I may have worn stirrup leggings everywhere. Please tell me they are not making a come back?
