The 1990s were a very significant decade for movies, TV shows, music, and other forms of entertainment. So much so that we can determine if you were born during this time or before purely based on your performance in this movie pop culture knowledge quiz.
So why is there such a big difference between people born before and after 1990 in terms of pop culture? One theory is that the explosion of the Internet happened after many iconic '90s films and other forms of entertainment were released. For whatever reason, the way people experienced entertainment in the nineties is totally different from how the next generation grew up and came of age during the 21st century. This quiz will test your knowledge of notable movies released during the 1990s. The way you answer these questions will reveal whether you were born before or after the start of the decade.
