It’s an interesting time to be living in America. Nowadays, it’s common to see children as young as toddlers making use of phones and tablets and other gadgets; adults not uttering words but texting their thoughts to the person sitting next to them; poor economy that is slowly improving in some areas yet digressing in others. All of these things affect the last generation that was born before all these problems: 1990s.

Now that we’ve touched on some of the problem areas of current times, it’s time to find the silver lining. Sure, there are some strikes against those who were born in the last decade of the twentieth century. But there’s also a lot going for us children of the '90s. So, let’s get to it. You were born in the '90s if you...

1. Watched awesome movies on Disney Channel.

Can anyone say “Zenon” and “Johnny Tsunami”?

2. Know what it felt like growing up without having technology 24/7.

Most of us '90s kids can function without being plugged into all our devices all the time. The current generation, though, I’m not too confident can handle it.

3. Grew up with Harry Potter.

Greatest. Thing. Ever.

4. Fully capable of making friends and meeting people in real life.

5. Root for Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston to get back together.

Still wishing for Brangelina to end because you know they’re not really the power couple.

6. Know all the words to “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” theme song.

7. Remember when the “Now That’s What I Call Music” didn’t come out with a new CD every other week.

8. Had the ability to predict your future with a simple game of MASH.

9. Appreciate DVDs all the more compared to VHS.

Remember how long it took to rewind the tapes?

10. Know all the lyrics to the girl and boy bands of the '90s.

Today’s music doesn’t hold a candle to our generation’s music.
