Pokemon and rap music woo. Tbh I don't remember too many fads, I was that kid that didn't go outside much and played vidya games all day.
What were your fads growing up?

Fads imply that the things I liked in the 90's i'm no longer interested in today. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was something I collected every single toy for and its still an awesome series for every age group, Batman has only gone farther into the main stream and has followed me into adulthood, otherwise i'm drawing a blank.. Power Rangers? Pokemon maybe?
LOL. I had those too.Rawne1980 said:Boglins.
I had an army of mini Boglins and 3 big ones.
I loved my Boglins when I was a lad.
I used to make them look like they were singing along to Pogues tunes because I thought they looked like what Shane MacGowan sounded like.
The funny thing is that most of the "fads" I followed my friends into are still around: Video Games, Transformers, GI Joe. But I guess they weren't really fads then.
I loved Pokemon cards and pokemon in general (hadn't the faintest clue about how to play pokemon cards but still) Pogs were huge as well, however Yu-Gi-oh was the biggest. I was the baddest man in the school yard when I was younger. I had the most cards and if you wanted someone battled I was the man you came to. I was like Yu-Gi-Oh Godfather. And of course their was the incedent in which someone stole my cards. Well I chased him down and introduced him to a world of pain. I distinctly remember getting paid to get other peoples cards back as well when I was one of the older kids in school (about 8 years old)
Pogs, Magic The Gathering, Grunge, Looney Tunes, TMNT, big hair... the 80's and 90's, basically.
Girls weren't allowed to play Magic, though. Nope. It was a boy thing.
At least my cousin let us look at the cards and play a little bit when he came over to our house.
... DnD was also a boys only thing in High School. Which was stupid, as I was a bigger geek than those guys and really wanted to play. I think they let my sister be a cleric for one game.

Let's see. Pokemon cards, yu gi oh cards, marbles, those spinning things, beyblades I believe, and that's it I believe.
First and best one during my youth:
Those things were like gold for pretty much every Dutch kid during the 90's.
Next to that I joined in the Pokemon crowd and, during my first two adolescence years, the Yu Gi Oh fad. I didn't join in with a lot of fads. Most were too expensive. I had a knock-off Tamagotchi though.

I started school in '92 which happened to be the same year '90's rap sensation group Kriss Kross (look them up, I'll wait) dropped the song "Jump" and the unfortunate trend of wearing clothing backwards. Now I was just a little kid when this happened, but growing up in Canada my elementary school went from Kindergarden to Grade 7 and some of the older students took a liking to that style and adopted it as their own. I still vividly recall my first day of school and seeing people with their shirts and pants on backwards, it was quite a confusing experience.
In terms of fads I participated in, many have already been said, pogs, yoyos, Pokemon, Goosebumps, Harry Potter, Magic: The Gathering
