Cell phones were around in the late 90s. I had one! Teletubbies also were around in 1998 and 1999, my son watched them as an infant! The First George Bush was in office until January, 1992!

Tanya

I was thinking the same thing as others reading his list.  Kyle seems far too young to remember the 90s with any kind of substance or accuracy.  I had Caller ID as far back as 1993.  I started using a cell phone regularly in 1998, but I know a lot of people used them regularly as far back as 1993 or 1994.  The big bulky brick looking "mobile phone" or car phone deal was more of a pre-1993 thing.  There were also plenty of superhero movies in theaters in the 90s, that wasn't invented in the 2000s.  Wasn't Pokemon a late 90s fad?  The Saturday morning cartoon deal is off too. 

Has it come to this?  It was only about 3-5 years ago us Gen Xers were in shock and correcting kids about what they mistakenly believed about the 80s,(like we were living so barbaric back then),  I can't believe we've already moved up to the 1990s.  I think I'm really going to know I'm old when a kid asks me if we had computers and cars back in 2001.

Ha!

In fact, the big bulky mobile phones were around in the 80s! But, they were like testing them. So, only those in the know had them!

Tanya

Some I thought of:


'90's: Blossom
'00's: Lizzie McGuire


'90's: Beverly Hills 90210
'00's: The O.C.

'90's: Vanilla Ice
'00's: Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), though they first came out in late 1998

Yeah..my Dad had a "bag phone"..it was really big (especially compared to now!), but he could carry it in his truck!  ;D

And you know..the Ninja Turtles were big in the early 90's..but my son watches them now on Cartoon Network.  Even new ones,  I believe. 

And Tanya--my daughter, who is 7 now, watched the Teletubbies back in 97-98 too.  We had every one of the darned stuffed talking ones...can't say I miss them all that much...my two year old just watches Sesame Street so far.  :)

No more Teletubbies! Once you get over the initial cuteness of it all, it's so taxing! My son would go crazy over the baby in the sun! Why? I have the faintest idea!

Most 90s cell phones were the old analog style phone, like the one I used to have. I got my first digital phone in 1999 though. You could say VHS for the 90s (and earlier) and DVD for the 2000s, even though DVDs were out at the end of the 90s, but really have taken over in the 2000s.

I recently saw a show from the early-90s. A prize on the show was a cordless phone... with a reciever the size of a small Labrador dog.  ;D


Look how far we've come....

Oh, I know that. I was referring to the more common form seen now.

I had a cell phone that was so small I left it in my pants and accidentally washed and dried it.  >:(

Howard

2000s - Crappy TGIF
90s - good TGIF and SNICK (Are you afraid of the dark?)

2000s - Dora the Explorer
90s - David the Gnome

2000s - Every genre on Top40 radio has been glossed over with poppy crap (Rock, Rap, "Punk," are all just masqued poppy crap these days)
90s - Top40 = 90s Alternative and Gangsta Rap.

2000s - Degrassi: The Next Generation, Lizzy MacGuire
90s - Saved by the Bell, My So Called Life, THE WONDER YEARS (single greatest show ever, though it started in the 80s, but it finished in the 90s)

2000s - Harry Potter (though, first book hit in 98 I think)
90s - Goosebumps

I could go on all day, but I have to study... buh bye!

90's: Real World and Road Rules

00's: Big Brother, Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Mole, The Apprentice, The Bachelor, The Bachelette, The Simple Life, The Joe Schmo Show, The Benefactor, Fear Factor, Amish in the City, Superstar USA, American Idol, American's next top model, Last Comic Standing, The Next Action Star, Who wants to marry my dad?,  Average Joe,  My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance, Newlyweds, etc.

* Bachelorette sorry. Typo

'90's: Vanilla Ice
'00's: Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), though they first came out in late 1998


You should've gone...

'90s: Vanilla Ice
'00s: Eminem

Much more appropriate IMO. Fred Durst mixes Rap/Hip Hop with Rock. While Eminem is doing "pure" Rap/Hip Hop just like Vanilla Ice used to do 13, 14 years back.  ;)

I believe Spongebob was 1999..... I'm really stubborn about accuracy I know :-[


But anyway, let's try:

1990s:  standard animation
2000s:  computer/cel-shaded hybrid animation(though it was created in 1999 for Futurama)

1990s:
  -game systems:  Turbo Grafx 16, Super Nintendo, Sega Saturn, Playstation, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Pocket/Color, Sega Dreamcast, 3DO, etc.
  -game genre's:  RPG's, side scrollers, FPS's.
2000's: 
-game systems:  N64, PS2, XBox, Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, NVidia NGage, and mostly in Japan, you can play on cel-phones.
-game genre's:  online anything, especially RPG's

1990's:  It's da Bomb
2000's:  It's da shizzle

1990's:  The Disney Afternoon
2000's:  ABC Kids

Don't forget about PS3, X-Box Next, Nintendo DS, and Playstation Portable. They are coming in 00's too.

A few popular series from the eighties and early nineties are being revived, but they will never be as popular as they were. During the Turtles craze of late eighties and early nineties the turtles had 3 movies that made over 300 million in three years, 2 arcade games, 3 gameboy games, 2 Genesis games, 4 Nintendo games, and 2 Super Nintendo games. The Turtles revival of late is nothing more than lazy, uncreative TV people running out of ideas, so why not exploit a concept that had it's time over a decade ago. I feel sorry for the young Generation Y kids, they're getting all our leftovers instead of any good new shows.

I agree the teletubbies were out in 1998 Pokemon was out in 1999, and I had a caller ID in the 90's too.

Here's for accuracy. I'm currently trying to exlpain to my 10 year old neighbor (who owns a cell phone) that when I was his age(I'm an '82 baby) kids didn't own cell phones because they were too expensive. My mother only had one (that fat motorola w/ the "send" button) because she was a doctor and kept getting paged all the time. I remember watching the movie "Clueless" and thinking How amazing it would be to be in school have a cell phone :o. I wouldn't have to run to the pay phones all the time!  ;D When I was a junior in high school one of my freinds , who was 4 years older and out of school, had a cell phone. I didn't see minors with cell phones until after I graduated high school myself. I got my own around the same time. I think they were  less expensive by then. ;)

90's:   "Not until you're older."
00's:   "Here ya go!"

The same can be said for adult entertainment(not porn), as well.  I had to wait, so they should, too.  It's not fair, it's like I'm never gonna escape my childhood if kids are gonna be enjoying the same things I am all my life.

Roxie,every shmoo on the street has one.especially kids.And to tell you the truth,they're not too expensive. :)

You forget Beauty and the Beast, which was the first successful hybrid I beleive...

My mom and I have one of those big Motorola phones from 1995. A non-flip model similar that they used for the first timer on Sliders.

When I said "less expensive" I meant that they may have been affordable enough for people to spend money on a phone for their kids.  That's just a theory I had.Through my P.O.V. the only cell phone owners I knew or saw prior to 2000 were legal adults w/ jobs or upper-middle class kids pretending their parents' business cell belongs to them. In high school, NONE of my own peers had a cell phone, even the middle-class or upper-Middle class kids. I asked my mother for one but she said I had to get a job and pay for my own. The point I was making was that I had noticed within in a couple years there was a quick shift from what was once viewed as an unnecessary luxury in my middle school years to something so important that some parents today have their children carry to summer camp with them.

Now,cell phones today are definitely a "need" for kids or teenagers .You just gotta look around.



Howard

There were cellphones in the 90's, but can you take pictures and play games on a cellphone in the 90's?

90s for pop culture, but the 2000s for technology.etc. So much has changed in ten years..
