If someone was born in 1993 would they remember the 90’s or 9/11?

I was born in 1993


I remember waking up on September 11th 2001 to my father screaming at the television.


He took me in the car and we drove to a road called skyline drive where you could see the NYC skyline.


Billowing black smoke was rising from the city and the twin towers were nowhere to be seen.


I finally understood why my father had screamed.

Were you in school when the planes hit?

[NotTacocaT6969]

It was in the early morning before school.

School was cancelled that day.

That would’ve been crazy to live in the NYC area that day. I was in Florida and in the third grade at the time.

They'd remember the year 2000 for sure, and probably also the late 1990's (98 and 99).

[Asker]

That’s what I would think. I don’t understand why people think you don’t start memories until you’re around 10 or 12. Maybe a lot of people have poor memories but I can remember as far back a 4 vividly.

[Cassie88]

I can still clearly remember what happened to me when I was five, so I don't know why anyone would think that someone wouldn't recall being seven. That doesn't make any sense.

People are stupid on here. Of course most people would, why wouldn't you remember a major even when you're 7 years old if you can remember school, friends, most other things.

And same with the 90's, most people can remember when they were 5/6 years old.

I was born in 1996 and I do remember 9/11 and I don’t remember the 90s but I absorbed its vibe because it’s related to my generation up bringing

[MCheetah]

No, not at all! They would've been 'almost-babies' by the time 9/11 happened. They would not remember the 90s and would be 7 or 8 when 9/11 happened. People's long-term memories aren't clear until at least the age of 10.

[Asker]

I would think that long term memories start way before age 10.

[Cassie88]

I still have memories from when I was five.

[Guy13]

I am sure they would from coverage and parents etc...

[KostasKouvalis]

I was born in '92. I vaguely remember the 90s, but I do remember 9/11 quite well

[joeldalton]

Probably 9/11

[SlothySlob]

Yes, and yes.

[CoolCatMar1]

I dont think so
