Is it normal to pretend my childhood happened earlier?

i grew up in the mid to late nineties. i have to say the years up until 2000 were some of the best of my life. there was amazing cartoons on TV, good movies, and i grew up near the end of it. the rest of my child hood was scum full of crap on TV, everyone afraid of terrorism.
when i look back on it, i bump back the dates and pop culture to 1993 where i felt was at it's best. i have to say i associate better with that time period than i did in my own. i talk about sega genesis, sonic the hedgehog, cartoon network, dragonball and stuff like that. all of it i was young enough to remember, but too young to own / watch all the time. is it normal to repress part of your childhood and fill it in with better stuff?
