1990each

1990each is a term that emerged in the early 2000s, primarily within online communities and forums. It refers to the phenomenon of individuals who were born in the year 1990 and were perceived as exhibiting certain characteristics or behaviors associated with that specific birth cohort. The term was often used humorously or critically, suggesting a shared set of experiences, pop culture influences, and perhaps even attitudinal trends among those who came of age around the turn of the millennium.

The characteristics attributed to "1990each" were not formally defined but often included nostalgia for 1990s media, a particular understanding of early internet culture, and a sense of being distinct from both older and younger generations. It touched upon the transition from analog to digital technologies during their formative years. Discussions surrounding 1990each frequently involved shared memories of toys, television shows, music, and early video games that defined their childhood and adolescence.

While not a formal sociological grouping, the term 1990each highlights how birth years can become markers for shared cultural touchstones and generational identity, particularly in the digital age where online communities can coalesce around such collective experiences. The term itself is largely a product of internet slang and informal discourse, rather than academic study.
