You're an 80's/90's Child if...
Normal Key: Bold is "applies to me", italics is "sort of applies."
Warning: I can't figure out how to edit this so it's under a cut, the HTML thing changed... so you may want to scroll quickly.

But, dude, bellbottoms are still not cool, and I wish the fashion police would stop trying to push them on us. The make us short-legged types look like we're in elephant costumes!

Hey, so am I, and I'm 80's-90's. ;) But then, I also didn't really live in the states for a good portion of my childhood, and I never watched much tv anyway. I had Full House mailed to us, watched a few British shows on BBC, and that was it.
no subject
Thing is though, so many of the programmes I remember watching were probably British only. Stuff like Thundercats, Button Moon, The Clangers, Roobarb and Custard and Dangermouse... Ah, memory lane!
Great idea, and I may just nick it for my very own! ;)

But I was born in 1980, after all.
And I did wear biker shorts under my skirts!
