I was born in 1995. What exactly is the difference between saying you're a 90's baby or 90's kid?

Nothing since 90“s means anything from 1990 – 1999.

^^ That or maybe “90’s baby” means you were born in the 90’s and “90’s kid” means you were a kid in the 90’s?

The labels are used to describe the trends, styles and attitudes that are associated with particular decades, and the names are assigned by media. It is very similar to so-called fashion trends.

”‘90s baby” means you were born in the ‘90s. ”‘90s kid” doesn’t have a precise definition, but people on the internet get really particular about it, insisting that those born in the latter half of the decade can’t be “true” ‘90s kids since they don’t remember anything of the decade, some say you have to have been born in the ‘80s, etc. Meh. I was born in ‘91 so I was quite young in the ‘90s. My childhood memories range from the late 90s through the early 2000s.

I graduated high school the year you were born so I’m a 90’s teenager. I went through all of high school and into college during that time so it is chiseled into my psyche. I’m an 80’s kid as I spent my pre-teen years during that time. I’m a 70’s baby since I was born in that time.

I see being a 90’s baby as being “born” between 1990–1999. Being a 90’s kid as “growing up” between 1990–1999. I was born in ‘82 so I say I’m a “child” of the 80’s. My parents adored music from the 70’s, so that’s what I grew up listening to. I lean more toward 70’s and 90’s music because I was maturing through the 90’s and that music means more to me than the 80’s music and the 70’s music means more to me than the 80’s music probably because it was all I heard from my first day of conception. My aunt is a fan of 50’s music, so I do enjoy some of the 50’s and 60’s music although I have no real connection other than I enjoy it. I don’t accept being pigeon holed into a specific era just because of when I was born. I prefer to experience a lot of what I don’t know by learning about it or listening to it. My parents were hippies, so I have a lot of “free spirit” within my soul although I don’t think of myself as a hippie

90’s kid means you know about stuff like “Saved By the Bell,” Ganster Rap, Grunge and what it’s like for you and your friends to not have cell phones, using AIM over dialup to chat with friends and not having a Facebook accounts.

My son was born in ‘95, my daughter in ‘98. I wouldn’t call either of them “‘90’s kids”. Because they weren’t aware of the zeitgeist of the Nineties.

I was born in ‘55, but I wasn’t a fifties kid. I am aware of the very end of the fifties, but I didn’t participate. I never had a coonskin cap or paid attention to Elvis.

Yes, the children of “90” are children who were born from 1990 to 1999. But….... also the children of “90” are also called children who were born in the years close to 1990, these are 87, 88, 89.

The ‘baby’ part is when you were born.

The ‘kid’ part is when you were a kid.

Since your pre-adult years span more than one decade,‘kid’ implies school age, when you were aware of trends, music, friends, etc. You probably weren’t much aware of this before you were five or six.

I was born in 1964, so I was a ‘60s baby.

But I was a ‘70s kid, because I started school in 1970 and turned 16 in 1980. As a seventies kid, I knew the first Home Computers and video games, the originalStar Wars which came out when I was twelve, etc etc. I was alive when the Beatles were big, but only remember a few songs and what people said about them. I was not really old enough to remember the national trends in music of the ‘60s.

A 90s baby means you were born in the 90s
A 90s kid means you were born in the 90s (and were, therefore, a kid)
So it means exactly the same thing 100 percent synonymous.

So, you are saying, my being born in 1964 makes me a ‘60s kid?

Sorry, I don’t remember much about the surfin’ culture, original Beatlemania, the Hippie culture or the Beatnick culture.

I was a kid when Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory came out. I was still a kid when Star Wars came out. I dabbled with the first Home Computers and Computer toys, Scholastic Books’ Dynamite magazine. I watched Happy Days, Born Free, and The Waltons when I was a kid. I was affected for life by T.V. horror movies like Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. I was a’ 70s kid.

When I was a kid watching T.V. riding my bike, and listening to the radio, and going to various day- and sleepover camps, the Hippie culture was very retro and those ‘60s T.V. shows were in reruns and obviously from an earlier time.

Most of the 90’s kids in the camp programs I worked with as an adult, the kids were born between 1985 and 1989. The ‘90s kids I worked with in the 1980s were born in the mid to late 1970s, and still have an affinity for the music of the 1980s.

What you are is where you were when. The trends that influenced you in childhood makes you who you are, not things that happened when you were a baby, or three years old.

No you are a 60s baby
