I'm 25, I remember when I was 15 and my dad was complaining that gas was nearly $1.00 a gallon, lol!



I remember when The Matrix came out in cinemas, and Chumbawamba, and the Spice Girls were throwing up the peace sign and shouting for 'girl power'. I remember Teddy Ruxpin and slap bracelets. I remember driving past a friends house and seeing it on fire on the morning of 9/11, and marching through downtown Austin protesting the war in Iraq the day before it started. I remember Rainbow Brite and The Care Bears, He-Man and She-Ra, Transformers and Ninja Turtles, and that I used to make mix tapes from the radio. I remember pogs and when Magic: The Gathering was new, and when Harry Potter first made headlines, and when no one had cell phones. I remember when 2pac and Biggy Smalls died. I remember getting a Super Nintendo for Christmas when I was about 7 or 8 and sitting up all night playing Mario and Zelda. It was the best present ever... until the Sega Genesis came out.



Hope that helps :)
