Really depends on what you like most.  Marketers on each decade try to appeal to whatever demographic was the hottest at the time.  I notice in the 00s, the teen demographic was targeted a lot, as opposed to the 90s when it was targeted to young kids and 18-24 people.

For me (b. 1969), I'm a child of the seventies but a kid/teen of the eighties.

I was born in 1974 so I'm more of an 80's kid.

We've already had TWO topics that are basically the same as this one:

http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=40890.0
http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=40848.0

Time for recycling my answer from my last reply to this sort of topic:

I'll recycle a bit of the answer I gave in this similar topic: http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=40890.0

Why focus on attaching yourselves to a specific decade?  So you don't really "belong" to a certain decade...so what?  Most people don't.  A decade is ten years and, of course, people's youth runs longer than that, assuming we go from childhood memories to college graduation or so.  Also take into account that a large portion of people are born, similar to you, towards the end of one decade or the start of another.  You will, by definition, not wholly fit within a single decade.

I was born in 1989 as well.  What is my "era"?  It's the second half of the 90s (though thanks to reruns and such I got a lot of exposure to the first half), the 00s, and most likely the first half of the 2010s.  I find this notion of "claiming" a single decade to be your own to be moronic. You claim what you want to claim. 


There you go.

Anyway, to me you're a 80's/90's baby, a 90's/early 00's kid and a 00's teen.
