The earliest memory I have is 2.5 years old and I consistently have memories from around 4.

Even at 6 years old, the 90’s era bled out until 2005ish. Think about 90’s era cartoons like Hey Arnold, Pinky and the Brian, Dextors Laboratory, Cow and Chicken.

For someone born in 94, they could have watched new episodes come out. For someone in 97, they would be on the tail end of these cartoons, but they were reruns.
