Someone stuck in the 90s, a few of them not being from the 90s but into 90s shows and culture. Most 90s kids did grow up in the 90s but don't realize half the stuff they 'remember' is stuff kids from the 2000s also remember. They're stuck in a decade and won't let go of it, for better or worst. Most 90s Kids say everything in the 2000s suck because it wasn't from their generation, and most of the time they haven't even watched said shows that 'suck' without giving any backup to why except it not being from their decade.
Regular Kid: God I really like Regular Show and Penguins of Madagascar.
90s Kid: Those shows suck!
Regular Kid: Have you ever seen them?
90s Kid: No, I haven't, they won't be as good as anything from the 90s.
Regular Kid: Then how do you know they suck?
90s Kid: ....

Are 90s kids still a thing in 2019? In a few months it's literally gonna be 2020 which will be the start of a whole new decade so these kids need to grow up and move on with their lives already.

Someone who grew up primarily in the 1990s, or who has a fanatical attachment to that decade regardless of the fact they were born later. 90s kids and the "things they remember" are a popular subject for irritating Buzzfeed-esque pop culture lists extolling the virtues of that decade.

90s kid defines a person born around the mid 80s to the mid 90s. Part of being a 90s kid is living through the decade of change. The quality of cartoons. The lack of the Internet. The experience of the time in general that made them who they are today. It is not solely focused on what is remember in child hood, but how it shaped the views for a majority of the generation born within that time frame. 90s kids come in different forms, so you have those that are more egocentric, and those that are more open minded, but all in all, most 90s kids have a certain train of thought. Quality of life. Being taught by the generation before hand, they also have a sense of morals and views that have come into acceptance today, and many have been made possible because of them. Not to say they are the only contributing factors, but they have been a big part. They are not stuck in the past, but memories do male who you are.
I am a 90s kid. No, they're not 90s kids, look at that. Who does that? They're trying to start a new trend that doesn't even make sense.

Anyone who's age was 15 at any time between 1990 -1999. The idea being that the person was, at some time, old enough to take part in the cultural experiences presented by this decade.
At 5 years old in 1995, this person is highly unlikely to have experienced much, if any, of the impact within the decade. Although technically born in the 90's, any personal expression is more than likely not attributed to the culture, and by the end of the decade (1999) would still be merely 10.
With 1995 - 1996 being a median time frame of the decade, a +/- 5 rule to the age of 10 can be attributed to the person.. Any older or younger, and the person falls outside the scope of influence of the decade.
It is the term "kid" that creates confusion. Some people seem to be using it interchangeably with "adolescent". While adolescent is more closely related (in terms) to adulthood, the term "kid" can properly be used to represent anyone under the age of 18 years of age. The use of the word "kid" is by consequence however, as "90s adolescent" just doesn't have the same appeal.
By that conclusion, technically a child born on Dec. 31, 1999 is a "90s Kid", as would the person be born Jan. 2, 1972, each person having lived at least 1 day under the age of 18 within 1990- 1999.
A "90s Kid" was aware and old enough to take part in the culture and influence around them.

A 90s Kid is anybody who was born between the years of 1990 and 1999. And is also anybody who had a chance to at least experience and enjoy the incredible lifestyle, and culture that the decade had to offer. The whole concept of being a 90s kid has been severely disputed by people who were born in the 80s, who claim that they are the true 90s kids because they have more memories from the time period. But fail to realize that they WEREN'T BORN inbetween those years. That's like someone being born in the 70s and calling themselves a 80s kids! Wow! But like I said If you were born between 1990 and 1999, your a 90s kid. 80s kids, I know you have more memories of the time, but let's the 90s kids have their timespot!
I was born in '96 and I remember a lot if stuff from '98-'01
because I started remembering when I was 2-3. I'm a 90s Kid

1)A minor that spent most of their post-toddler, pre-adolescent years in the 90s. This usually begins around age 3 & a 1/2 following a toddler transitioning into a fully aware kid, during the first 6 months of being 3.
2)A person born sometime on or between July 1, 1981 & June 30th, 1991. A "perfect" 90s kid would have been born on July 1, 1986. On January 1, 1990 they would have been 3 & a 1/2 yrs old; they would have become a teenager on July 1, 1989.
