We use to take this one room in the house we were grow up in and turn it into the best fort ever....till we were toled to clean up,,,,man mom's just well never understand the fine art of a good fort
My little brothers and sister are lucky to have me as their brother because they know about the 90's... they especially like the movies, cartoons and blanket forts..haha
Ritalin is for ADD, if you were bipolar the ADD meds would have adverse effects, making you ornery, irritable, and short with people. So you clearly have no idea what the medications do.
nice, Piggy! Lord of the Flies! I'm reading that in my English class, 10th grade, but everyone (except me) says it's boring. The 9th graders have already finished the book. that's crazy.
Also something that we have to deal with (although you can correct me on this if I'm wrong - I know that this kind of thing HAS been going on for a while) are lockdown drills. (All of the lights and gadgets in the rooms are turned off and the class backs away from doors and windows. It's so that a potential crazed student gunmen doesn't see any people and begin firing wildly. Also, it's done in the spring, which is considered a "high risk" month, because apparently we have a "high risk" month.)
And also why do people complain about kids never going to the library and spending to much time texting? Thats not the kids fault or even a defect of this generation or whatever you want to call it Its the parent's fault parents like to complain that kids these days are too tech involved but if you dont want your kids to be then dont let them I am 15 and I dont having texting The real problem is parents just get too lazy and plant their kids in front of a tv 'cus its easier than talking to them
@kellybean17 I dnt believe so. Telling a kid today not to use tech is like tellin them not to breathe. Everyday tech is becoming more embeded in our teenage society. Im 18 and I kno i couldnt do anything if i ddnt have some form of tech. And tv now does suck. it sucks so bad my niece's and nephws watch the things i use to watch. sure the love spongebob and dora but not like they love Ahh monsters and rugrats. Tv now all blends and blands 2gether and u can tell cus its not keepin the childs
@kellybean17 attention anymore. Movies and Tv jus suck plain and simple. IM not jus sayin that cus im a 90's kid. Parents and other kids in U.S can attest that the 90;s was one of the most enjoyable if not most coolies decade of this century. I would love to live in the 30's 50's... (dnt ask lol) and the 90's. it was jus better. i dnt think its about growing up it was jus this feeling a sense of the times and we dnt have that anymore and its sad, its like kids r less innocent and child like
honestly I don't think growing up now would suck people have to realize that when you remember your childhood you were a kid, when you look back you think the world was great because the world was great but not because of the decade that you were living in it's the age you were
two words...hell yeah. I agree so much. I of course didn't get the nintendo under my tree but i grew up playign my brother's. then came sega genesis.Cartridges last longer than disks. Everything now is made to break after its limited use.
Have to argue with one of your points there Alan. There is nothing wrong with having Finding Nemo as your favourite movie. I was born in 1988 and my favourite movie is Wall-E.
trouble with kids today is they have to many gadgets and shit. Some as young as 9 have mobile phones, what the fuck is that about?! All this high-tech shit has reached a ridiculous level- kids won't go outside to play anymore. I loved the outdoors as a child, still do now. We used to do tree houses and dens, and stay there for hours with our binoculars and little toy guns. Imagination is what children lack today! they are just glued to ps3 and xbox, and let me tell you NOTHING will beat the NES!
imho, I actually think that avril and maroon 5 aren't half bad though they aren't my favorite artists in the world. They're better than hannah montana is what i'm trying to say, I guess. xD Yeah but anyway i'm very happy i'm 16 (almost 17, 1994) now and had the privilage to live part of my childhood in the 90's. I remember some pretty kick ass anime and cartoons. Now I don't even know what to think of pokemon and the new yugioh series makes me want to cry. The Lion King and Bambi were the shit.
Cmon guys alot of things in life are not making a whole lot of fucking sence. We cant even grow up and be like our parents to have kids and buy video games to our own children. The only way to Relit the 90's is to be the 90's.. beginning with your household change everything to toys to electronics..
LOL, I liked it right when you gave the LOTF reference. :) Heck yeah, blanket forts! I was born in '95, and I still made blanket forts with my best friend... hard to believe that people born in 2000 are 11 now... Makes me feel old, even as a teen.
@SkodaExpress Lol stop trolling. Why are you looking for a fight? Just being an asshole for no reason, I mean really. Join a club, get a date, there are plenty of things to do out there than randomly make asinine comments on youtube. Kaythnxbye~
God you're so right! Growing up (at least for me in the 90's) was awesome and i want to go back to that time sometimes... but growing up today as a small child.... would suck.
One of my main reasons? No more video stores. I loved going to Blockbuster in my pajamas, scanning the kids and family section and picking something like an episode of The Puzzle Place, James and the Giant Peach, or Pokemon The First Movie. The Blockbuster right next to my house is shutting down this week, and all our Hollywood Videos shut down last year. It's really sad. Netflix will never replace that experience.
@MissIcia kinda sucks for me too becuz like maybe a mile away from our house there used to be Colona Video(video rentals and game rentals) and they closed ='(
You are generalising - i'm 16 and my favourite music is mainly 60's and 70's Punk and Psychadelic and Hard Rock: Pink Floyd, The Smiths, Aerosmith etc. Infact, come to think it, a lot of the stuff i like apart from video games is old.
@jackheaney You're one of those really amazing kids I would love to hang out with, but sadly you - just like I was - are the exception to the rule. Most kids go with what's popular, and are too scared to branch out and be unique.
Ha! I made a blanket fort with a stick, a blanket, and a futon! Of course. there's no way I can fit in it now, but anyway. Public library -thirty minutes by car, no license, and I really don't wanna walk. Internet is faster and less painful for a country hick. Ritalin - never heard of it. Might need it. Nintendo - they're lucky they can even get me off what I have. NKOTB... in ten words or less, 'strangers don't last long here'. MJ's gone. Bush and that... okay, you got me there. 14 years left!
Ehh, he males some good points. I remember back in the day I would like listening to the radio. Now, all the music that is played sucks and sounds the same. I end up just listening to my 'nostalgia' playlist on my iPod. At least the 2000's gave us that.
dude right on with the fort blankets... kids nowadays don't go outside and play they sit inside with icky dusty air and play videogames. i played videogams back then too but only on those really really cold/rainy days ,but for the most part i was outside playing cowboys and indians and stuff.
lmfao!! really? fort blankets!? thats what they're called?! lmfao i thought me & my sister where the only ones that did *fort blankets* lmfao! we aslo would get ah whole bunch of pillows & she would go in the middle of the bed and i would put the pillows around her till she was all covered up it was kinda like ah square & then you would just jump out :o & that was like so much fun ahaha! we would aslo take turns :o lol awhhh man!
I'm 12 and wish I grew up in the 80s or 90s, I was born in 98 but that doesn't really count. My favorite movie is Back To The Future and I hate to say this to you all but Lady Gaga is a prostitute and Justin Bieber is...just WTH? GAH THIS TIME SUCKS. It better change so I can live my teen years in a good generation. Back then you could be who you wanted but now it's "That's for babies!" or "That's well old!" Music sucks. Movies suck. Trends suck.
I was about, say 7th grade when you posted this video. From my POV, this video doesn't relate to all kids growing up in this era. I loved my childhood.
P.S: Whoever said that kids in the 00's don't make blanket forts is a liar. I used to all the time.
I want someone to make a video of why being born in 2010 would suck so much. Now that would be more interesting.
There are great things about the 90s too. I think everyone's childhood feels special to them no matter how different or crappy it might be considered by other people.
I'm glad I grew up in the 90s.
Sure kids today might not have the same quality animated shows and music, but I think lots of them will grow up fine and be happy.
Ironic thing is, WE say that the next generation are missing out, while our parents and grandparents had the same opinion about the generations following them. I suppose that whatever kids do when they're little, they will be nostalgic about as they grow up; regardless of the time/generation in which they grew.
Born in 92 but I actually wish I was born later. Yeah, my music taste would suck, but for some reason being born in the ''21st'' century seems rad to me. :) Don't know why.
If I grew up in these times? At least I would get to have Ratatouille be a childhood favorite, and I WOULD SO STILL MAKE FORTS OUT OF CARDBOARD BOXES IF I GREW UP NOW.
i can relate to all of these. And i could swear the sun was 10x brighter and the grass was 10x more greener in the 90's, lol it might be a weird comment but it's true...
@systempatcher That's very understandable and normal. But you have to remember that life wasn't really better in the 90s, it was just perceived that way by you. Just look at the guy in the video. He's a loser. He's reliving his life 10 years ago and lacks any life of his own today. When do you think he got laid last? By all measures everything he said IS BETTER. It's progress from what came before it. But he is just looking at it from a very biased view.
no more blanket forts??? something is wrong with todays kids. my friend and I would use chairs from the dining room, couch pillows and boxes!!! I was born in '87 so i was already 5 years old in '92, i remember the 90s very well, and miss them very very very much. I bet no one even goes to a rollerblading rink anymore?! haha good times, good times.
@kricket0912 I used to make blanket forts too. I knew a few kids who still go to the rink where I live, but not many. Although when I was a kid majority of rollerblading took place outside though.
I was born in 1995 and i have made plenty of blanket forts :) also my music collection consists of beatles, rolling stones, and the police. I also used to play nintendo ALL the time!
@CiaTheVideoStalker Exactly! OMG I think my cousins and I would have all been drugged up XD There's a simple answer as to why kids are diagnosed ADHD, parents don't want to spend the time to take responsibility of their kids excess energy.
I'm 13, so you would say i'm still growing up. But i really wish that the being a little kid (1-10) was as much fun as it was when i was one. Go up to a 7 year old nowadays and ask them if they like Pokemon. They'll say that Pokemon is for geeks and that Halo and south park is where its at. When i was little i wanted to be like Shania Twain. Not Hannah Montana. 90's-early 2000's (2000-2005) is what i think was the best. It all went downhill from then on.
@TsuruyaTsumugi your 13...the best time was 1990 haha honestly youre still quite young so you didnt really get the best of the 90s....its very true though about our society, we arent allowed to do things because of health and safety. the kids are growing up too fast, young girls into short skirts and looking "sexy"...wen i was a kid i was mucking about outside, playing computer games and playing with toys, like kids should(im a woman btw)...its not like that now though, this world is messed up..
I absolutely Loved blanket forts. I completely agree with almost every single point. I do have to disagree though. Weird Al's stuff now...Well lets just say nothing can touch that one where he talked about oreos :)
True, kids nowadays get only shit stuff, but being an adult nowadays isn't a great thing too, especially if you're a slave err... i mean got a job, no free time, shit pay work over 10 hours, work until you die, most of your money robbed by gov taxes, paying bills, if you have a car you need to pay for maintenance, etc.
So seriously, i would go back to being a kid if i could, and i wouldn't mind the TV shit, crap singers, etc. At least we have more freedom and time to do almost everything we want
ive made about 7 blanket forts, 3 out of pillows, 2 out of chairs, and (when we were cleaning our basement) a board game fort. seriously, i spent DAYS in there.
Guess how old i was when i made my latest one.
I was about 14.
Last year.
I play gore-filled games, but im not too old to make a good old for of crap that is useless :)
Kids today do not know what they are missing. What happened to playing outside, having great tv, gameboys in green and not color. And Disney today, yesh, where do iI start....
@ThePunjabdholi123456 Exactly i was born in 92 i still count in dont slip me out i grew up watching those wonderful cartoons, the old nick, my old walkman, the internet wasn't really as big so i spend time outside playing sports and having fun with out knowing i was doing something good and healthy. Definitley we were the last generation to have a good Foundation in our childhood I'm greatful and like you say lucky to have been raised in the good old 90's THE LAST GOLDEN AGE!!!
I don't get why everyone is complaining about technology. It's not like there's some rule that you must have cable, internet, cell phones, etc. Man up and control what your kids have access to.
@323Felicity There's technology that we really don't need i.e iphones.And it's true what people say about it. It's become a really bad influence. Some of it is quite handy such as cell phones which you can put in your pocket instead of using a telephone box,but if you look at the way people react now, it's like their mind is being brainwashed particularly of causes from the internet. Being outside with your friends is what it's all about. You feel better being part of the outside world.
whut? i still make blanket forts. I'M TEN AND I STILL MAKE BLANKET FORTS!
i REALLY hate hannah. i would be nothing with out all of my invader zim, ren & stimpy, hey arnold, and all of te other shows on the instant queqe on netflix!
meh, I think everyone has a special place in their heart for their own gen. I'm a 90s kid, but I still remember most of the stuff you mentioned (blanket forts were the bomb btw)
Goosebumps, Hercules The Legendary Journeys, playing Goldeneye and N64 Without worrying about the graphics, writing stories, no Justin Biber, No Politcal Correctness or Twilight, Gosh the 90s were the best time ever
@Badwolf117 I'm saying from experience, because when me and my brother were kids, we were different to other kids. We had better manners and behaved better and it had a lot to do with the kind of movies that our parents made us watch for instance Errol Flynn movies and adventure, romance as well. Movies from the 50s and 60s showed a lot of respect and people who had respect for each other. There for, my brother treated girls with respect at school will other boys were being cheeky to girls.
I can refer you to the N64 Promo VHS, if you like.
While people are entertained in the aesthetic pleasures of today's video games, we haven't yet transitioned into the Fourth Dimension. I don't know if you realize, but it's the fault of the bearing generation of the late 70's and 80's that our mass video game collection mainly consists of First Person Shooters and bad remakes. Any faults are your own.
@Badwolf117 I dunno if that's completely true. The 90s may not have had Justin Bieber, but it sure did have a lot of crappy music regardless. People may not have worried about "graphics" per se, but lets not forget the bit wars. Still, I don't blame ya for missing it.
One thing I disagree with in this video though. Finding Nemo is awesome.
I use to have sleepovers with my best friend's growing up in the late 80's and 90's and we would made the most epic forts you could imagine out of blankets, huge cardboard boxes, and couches. I'm pretty sure my parents would get annoyed without messy we would make the basement, haha, and we'd play games like tag, hide and seek, and catch, which I don't think children today have even heard of.
yh born in 91 didnt have a computer until 99 and was slower than a snail trying to hump a tortoise on it. i still cant believe that its 2010... im getting old
If it makes you feel better, my friend's four year old came over to my house, commandeered my sofa, and constructed a blanket fort out of it while we sat on the floor and laughed. The art form is not dead :D
85 here, i loved the 90's so much, every time i think back on the 90's and what i remember of the 80's i can't find any reason i wouldn't want to go back and relive my life same decades same way, who can say that about the 2000's? oh and you better believe i was gangin tough with nkotb, lol. anyone remember the christmas special? great times.
I agree with you, but then again it's subjective. Everyone always thinks the stuff from they're generation is the best, probably because the memories connected to it.
no sorry NKOB was a source of sheer annoyance for me (Female born 1982). All my little friends would shriek watching them on tv. one of my friends actually had a b day party with a NKOB theme. I didnt know that was the theme or i would not have gone. Hated them always. I was a Paula Abdul and Madonna girl. :)
im going to grow my children up surrounded by everything from every culture from every decade.
i was born in 91 but for some reason up til 96 everything was so 80s to me (probably all the architecture/gold framed mirrors/marble walls/hanging pot plants that hadn't been renovated yet). but then my grandmas house was SO 60s so, i feel like ive lived a pinch of every decade 60s - 90sish...weird how surroundings has a nostalgic effect on you like that.
Related to blanket forts. We were taking all the chairs in the house and were playing "a bus" or "a taxi". No internet or PC made us have so much communication. Was so much fun!
PLEASE DONT READ THIS you will die in seven days if you dont post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do tomorrow will be the best day of your life
#1 Linkin Park and others are comparable to such artists, and don't yell fanboy if you've never listened
#2 Agreed, I blame republicans(cuz glenn beck makes me lol) but also for some reason people become more emotional and thin skinned and i'm blaming your generation for raising them shitty
#3 +4 are the same as 2, and it sucks
#5 i blame the guys ur generation voted for for their wars
Movies have never been good or bad depending on the era they're from; film has always been film. Horror films in the 80's were cool, the 90s horror was terrible, 2000's horror is much better - - film has always sat back and done its own thing. Run around saying the 2000's sucks, go for it, but do not do that to film. the 2000's has been an INCREDIBLE decade of film.
I'm 45 and I miss blanket forts terribly. When me and my siblings went round to our friend's house when we were 6 we ALWAYS played blanket forts and read stories to each other. So much has changed over the years. It's crazy how dangerous this world is and politically incorrect. No one is that tolerant nowadays and don't listen to reason.
Things are getting so bad for our youth. Something must be done. We can't let our children grow up in a world with climatic problems as well as bad influence cartoons and movies which are inappropriate for their viewing. This is why there violent. Children should not watch certain shows. Their minds are blank when they enter the world and they need to learn about humanity and peace.

Public library -thirty minutes by car, no license, and I really don't wanna walk. Internet is faster and less painful for a country hick. Ritalin - never heard of it. Might need it. Nintendo - they're lucky they can even get me off what I have. NKOTB... in ten words or less, 'strangers don't last long here'. MJ's gone. Bush and that... okay, you got me there. 14 years left!

dude right on with the fort blankets... kids nowadays don't go outside and play they sit inside with icky dusty air and play videogames. i played videogams back then too but only on those really really cold/rainy days ,but for the most part i was outside playing cowboys and indians and stuff.

P.S: Whoever said that kids in the 00's don't make blanket forts is a liar. I used to all the time.

There are great things about the 90s too. I think everyone's childhood feels special to them no matter how different or crappy it might be considered by other people.
I'm glad I grew up in the 90s.
Sure kids today might not have the same quality animated shows and music, but I think lots of them will grow up fine and be happy.

Ironic thing is, WE say that the next generation are missing out, while our parents and grandparents had the same opinion about the generations following them. I suppose that whatever kids do when they're little, they will be nostalgic about as they grow up; regardless of the time/generation in which they grew.

@systempatcher That's very understandable and normal. But you have to remember that life wasn't really better in the 90s, it was just perceived that way by you. Just look at the guy in the video. He's a loser. He's reliving his life 10 years ago and lacks any life of his own today. When do you think he got laid last? By all measures everything he said IS BETTER. It's progress from what came before it. But he is just looking at it from a very biased view.

I'm 13, so you would say i'm still growing up. But i really wish that the being a little kid (1-10) was as much fun as it was when i was one. Go up to a 7 year old nowadays and ask them if they like Pokemon. They'll say that Pokemon is for geeks and that Halo and south park is where its at. When i was little i wanted to be like Shania Twain. Not Hannah Montana. 90's-early 2000's (2000-2005) is what i think was the best. It all went downhill from then on.

@323Felicity There's technology that we really don't need i.e iphones.And it's true what people say about it. It's become a really bad influence. Some of it is quite handy such as cell phones which you can put in your pocket instead of using a telephone box,but if you look at the way people react now, it's like their mind is being brainwashed particularly of causes from the internet. Being outside with your friends is what it's all about. You feel better being part of the outside world.

@Badwolf117 I'm saying from experience, because when me and my brother were kids, we were different to other kids. We had better manners and behaved better and it had a lot to do with the kind of movies that our parents made us watch for instance Errol Flynn movies and adventure, romance as well. Movies from the 50s and 60s showed a lot of respect and people who had respect for each other. There for, my brother treated girls with respect at school will other boys were being cheeky to girls.

I can refer you to the N64 Promo VHS, if you like.
While people are entertained in the aesthetic pleasures of today's video games, we haven't yet transitioned into the Fourth Dimension. I don't know if you realize, but it's the fault of the bearing generation of the late 70's and 80's that our mass video game collection mainly consists of First Person Shooters and bad remakes. Any faults are your own.

Excuse me no.
Movies have never been good or bad depending on the era they're from; film has always been film. Horror films in the 80's were cool, the 90s horror was terrible, 2000's horror is much better - - film has always sat back and done its own thing. Run around saying the 2000's sucks, go for it, but do not do that to film. the 2000's has been an INCREDIBLE decade of film.
