Young Adult of the 90s survay
I was gonna post this earlier, but didn't, so I will now cause everyone else already has.
1.) You know who Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello are.
Fuck yeah! TURTLE POWER! Though Splinter was the coolest. "I made a funny!"
2.) You remember the MilliVanilli scandal.
Only vaguely
3.) You religiously watched 90210, Melrose Place, Party of Five, and My So-Called Life.
Nope. Parents banned me from watching Soap Opera's when I was little, and as I grew older I realized I wouldn't like em anyways, and those seemed too much like teeny-bopper soaps for me.
4.) You tight-rolled your jeans.
I mighta, but I really can't remember.
5.) You wore big hoop earrings.
Didn't get my ears pierce until I was 12, and by then those were outta style
6.) You thought bellbottoms were horrible and couldn't understand why anyone would've ever worn them.
Well, I know I thought my dad's pair were god-awful, and I still do. I however am guilty of wearing flair legs.
7.) You knew how to do the dances called the MC Hammer, the Roger Rabbit, and the Running Man.
I knew or heard about the MC Hammer, but neither of the other two. I loved Roger Rabbit (the cartoon and movie) though
8.) You owned a pair of K-Swiss, Keds, or Air Jordans.
I think I wanted a pair of Air Jordans, but they were too expensive so my parents never got em for me.
9.) You thought "Ice Ice Baby" was the coolest song ever, and when your parents told you Vanilla Ice would be a shot in the pan, you refused to believe them.
Eh, it was an okay song. However, I was too young to really think it "all that" when it came out.
10.) Your bangs were at least 4 inches high, and you thought it looked good.
Had bangs, thought they looked kinda stupid, grew em out when I was like 8 or 9, if not before.
11.) You tried to sing along to "Informer", no matter how hard it was.
I do not believe so, but who knows.
12.) You or your sister owned a banana barrette and a T-clip.
Don't have a sister, but I do believe I owned both at some point through out the years.
13.) A hairdryer was required to set your hair.
Nope. Still don't use a hair dryer that often.
14.) You rolled up the sleeves of your t-shirts, and tucked in the front, letting the back hang out.
I think I might rolled up the sleeves, but not the other part
15.) You had any "No Fear" or "B.U.M." clothing.
Yup. Had both. Still wear my B.U.M. t-shirt, but I got that one in the late 90s, like 98 or 99
16.) You wore 2 pairs of neon colored socks.
Might done the double sock thing, but I do know I owned a few pair of neon socks
17.) You wore overalls with only one side connected.
Nope. My grampa gave me overalls for Christmas like 5 or 6 years ago, wore em all of twice before they got too small.
18.) You had Exclamation perfume. (or "Primo!")
Perfume of any sort has always made me sneeze, so no
19.) You remember when cartoons were actually GOOD, and not scary like the Teletubbies.
Oooooh yeah. Saturday mornings me and my brothers would get up at the crack of dawn for our cartoon high, and oh how I miss those worthy cartoons... ::sighs::

22.) You wore your sweatpants pulled up to your knees.
Never wore sweat pants
23.) You had a black Debbie Gibson hat.
I don't think so

30.) You wore jeans pulled up to your navel.

Baggy t-shirts over biker shorts, baggy jeans... Yup, I was all about the baggy. Still am when it comes to T's

32.) You owned a pair of biker shorts, and possibly ones with a neon strip down the middle.
Mmmhmm... I do believe I covered that above. :)
33.) You wore "water shoes" into the pool.

Not really, no

49.) You gave the "peace" sign all the time.
