Hey this doesn't really count if you were a Teenager during the 90's you have to be a kid to appreciate this: If the 90's means Nirvana, Pavement, Sonic Youth and Radiohead to you this is the wrong quiz!

1. You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air".
2. You remember when it was actually worth getting up on a Saturday morning to watch Live&Kicking (you know the number - 0181 811 8181!) or SM:TV.
3. You had a huge fringe at some point in your childhood.
4. You remember reading and watching "Goosebumps".
5. You took plastic cartoon lunchboxes to school.
6. You remember the craze of YoYo's and Tamagotchis (and the subsequent banning of them in school).
