Reminisce With These 17 Relatable Illustrations Showing What '80s And '90s Kids Did
You'll definitely find yourself saying, "Yeah! I did that when I was a kid."
Kids of the eighties and nineties grew up without smartphones, but that doesn't mean their lives weren't particularly exciting.
Most kids in these decades had it good. They grew up watching some of the best TV series and movies (like Toy Story and Jumanji) and playing with the best toys (pogs and Tamagotchis).
For '80s and '90s kids, enjoyment was everywhere. There were tons of boy bands and girl groups to adore.
Their catchy tunes and gorgeous looks were enough to drive these kids crazy. Remember the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and the Spice Girls?
Their songs were delightful, their dance moves were perfect, and their fashion was superb. We're pretty sure posters of them adorned your walls when you were just a kid.
It was hard to get bored as an '80s or '90s kid. Aside from toys and the shows on TV, there were plenty of items around the house to play with.
The home was a child's sandbox back then. Kids would jump on the large, spacious bed or spin around in a curtain wrapped around them, even when their parents scolded them.
Ever wanted to relive those childhood memories? Then we have the perfect compilation of comics for you.
Dhany Pramata, an Indonesian cartoonist, created some hilariously relatable illustrations for those who were kids back in the '80s and '90s. Check them out!

'80s and '90s kids knew life without the internet.
They only had TV, toys, and items at home. Still, they managed to make the most of their time.
They knew how to be patient. Whenever they wanted to watch a movie on VHS or listen to a cassette tape, they had to rewind the tape.
Life was so simple back then. Even when the internet was introduced, the speeds back then were unlike what we currently have.
