1. Your favorite form of transportation was rollerblades.
2. That is, until you were old enough to drive your sister's Geo Tracker.
3. Even after your school banned them, you still wore your slap bracelets. You played by your own rules.
4. What color are you going to wear today? How about HYPERCOLOR?
5. You had overalls, but one strap was never buttoned. If your parents didn't like it, that's just because they don't know what's cool.
6. That's also why they didn't like Bubble Tape. Not because it tasted like a belt covered in sugar--It's because they weren't cool.
7. You had to ask your friend to help you zip your pants because they were on backwards.
8. Before doing any sort of athletic competition you had to take a short break to pump up your Reeboks.
9. You knew that the true measure of a man was the size of his Super Soaker.
10. You didn't just have one version of Pokemon. You knew a true master had to have the red and blue version.
11. You had to cancel plans more than once to look after your Tamagotchi.
12. One of your friends said he could get a VHS copy of Kids. You didn't watch it, but the fact that you could have was cool enough.
13. Your JNCO jeans were so wide, you could hide the cat under one leg and a lamp under the other one.
14. The only doc you ever looked forward to seeing was Doc Marten.
15. For some reason you convinced your parents to buy you Zubaz pants.
16. The clerks at the local video store knew you by name because you would always call in to have them hold movies for you.
17. You didn't have a CD player in your car, but you had a pretty sweet Discman adapter so you could listen to your Savage Garden CD any time you wanted.
18. You owned this shirt and wore it every chance you possibly could.
19. Every year you asked for a pager for Christmas. If you actually got one you were the coolest person in your entire class, even if no one ever actually paged you.
20. You went out on Saturdays because the best TV came on Friday night.
21. Everyone wanted to date you because you always smelled like CK One. Oh yeah!
