Being born in 1992 means I got the full 90s childhood experience. I remember VHS tapes stacked by the TV, Saturday morning cartoons with a bowl of cereal, and hearing the Spice Girls everywhere you went.
It means growing up before social media was even a thought — when your world was your family, your friends at school, and the shows you watched after dinner. Playtime meant Barbies, skipping ropes, or a Tamagotchi in your pocket (until the batteries ran out 🤣).
By the time I hit my teens, the 00s were in full swing: MSN Messenger, flip phones, and the pop idols that defined a generation. I got to live through that transition — from a world that felt slower and simpler to one that suddenly sped up with technology.
For me, being a 90s baby isn’t just about nostalgia — it’s about knowing I had the best of both worlds: the magic of a 90s childhood, and the excitement of being a teen in the mid-noughties. And honestly? I wouldn’t trade that for anything.
