in 1995 my late husband brought home an entertainment center without telling me. The thing was huge. He put it together himself, put it in the living room and that dang thing was in that living room until last week. I sold the house and the new owner took it out. She said it fell apart when she moved it. thing lasted nearly 28 years.
I had a similar experience, but my mom bought it without telling my dad. I remember the day it came, it was huge, took up the whole wall in out living room. It was that blonde wood veneer color that was so popular back then, and it had glass cabinets with a wood screen for where the tv went. You could tell it was the latest model, because it had built in roll out cabinets for all the VHS tapes we owned, and even space for CDs
I remember when we brought my family cat home (she's around 13 years old now, and we found her as a very littke kitten), once she was past the toddling phase and into the running everywhere around the house phase, she kept trying to climb under our big oak entertainment center (which we'd had since the 90s). It had these little scrollwork cutouts on the bottom, which meant she'd theoretically be able to squeeze under there (it would've been a tight fit), but we were so worried she'd get stuck climbing in, or worse, get stuck under there and not be able to come out! Since we weren't able to move it without taking the whole thing apart (which we weren't about to do because we were using it), we just piled a lot of books and rolled up towels on the floor in front of it. The cat then decided to play inside the dryer and the couch cushions instead 😭 lol somehow, despite her continuing foolishness, she is still hale and healthy
This was my house in the 90’s, 3 young kids, lots of computer games and Nintendo, desktop computer and we only got a certain amount of minutes and my kids always went over, dial up was the worst because it was our phone line!! My sons had rollerblades causing me endless worry. It went by so fast. Thank you for the memories.
I raised my 2 kids then, too and you’re so right- it flew by! I miss my kids being young but I’m so proud of who they’ve become💜💙 You’re also right about dial up being the worst, but those were the days!
The 1990- 1999 was a awesome year for me from 10 to 19 years of age, it was the best time. I wish I had a time machine so that I can go back into that in years so that I can tell myself and warm myself don't do crazy things when you get older.
The 90's in comparison to the 80's was the ''future'' Everything was 'evolved' and 'modern' Anything of the 80's was deemed ancient. Now we miss them all. :)
Lol, this is for real the first time I've seen or heard someone express nostalgia for the '00s. I thought it was a decade no one missed. I should probably feel something for my younger days, but man, it was tough times, tough times.
We have one that holds 200 CD's.Bought it in the late 1990's. We now have a bluetooth transmitter attached to it and listen to the CD's anywhere inside or outside the house.
I have a guilty admission. I bought my house in the early 90s. Almost every single thing in this video was (or is still!) in this house. The only exception was rollerblades, because I knew better (I have no coordination lol). We still have a wall that is sponge-painted, we just got rid of our huge entertainment center and big old speakers and trashed most of our VHS tapes (no one wants them anymore). I still have a set of coasters my sister made out of AOL CDs lol. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go dust the plants in the dining room...
Only room in our 1995-built house that was sponge painted is our powder room downstairs. 🙂 Oh, and don't forget that we all joined the Columbia House Club for those free CD and then those DVD that we would get in the mail every month if we didn't send back that postcard to tell them we don't want that CD or DVD of the Month!!!
I remember buying CD's for the first time in 1994, although I was still primarily using cassette tapes as my main source of music. It wouldn't be until 1998 when CD's became my main medium for music-listening. I also remember the advent of DVD's in the late 90's when my family had a computer with a DVD-ROM drive. I also rented a lot of movies on VHS tape in the 90's, as there were several movie rental stores in my hometown at the time. Internet access came about in 1995 when my family got an AOL CD-ROM, and I was amazed at the fact that there was this whole new world out there online. Granted, the dial-up connection was painfully slow, but for the time, it was the bee's knees!
Don't forget the "Southwestern" fad of the early 90s of colors, etc! Haha! A friend eventually got me a caller ID phone because I wouldn't answer right away when he called due to annoyance calls! When I finally replaced my gigantic computer monitor with a flat screen my cat was furious because she couldn't climb up on top of it to sleep anymore!
Our cat was equally non-plussed when the first flat screen monitor appeared in our house. He actually did try to climb up and balance on it. He was swiftly removed and went off to pout for days. In fact, I don't think he ever did forgive us!
The sponge paint trend lasted until the mid 2000s. By that time, the colors went from pastels to deep dark earth tone colors, ie browns and yellows. My house was built in '96 and still has light oak cabinets, track lighting in kitchen, white appliances, and polishsd brass hardware and fixtures. There's a large niche above the fireplace for your tube TV. I've covered it over to mount a flat screen there.
I'm guessing the gross earth tones were an adult thing cause if you were a kid in the mid 2000s like how I was then those sponge paint wall was still cool along with colorful beads hanging over doorways, furry blankets and pillows that were like miss match pink purple. White furniture was in, lava lamps, inflatable chairs, and CRT TVs that had different themes. were everywhere. Something's from the 90s were still a thing. It's just that you had to be younger I guess. Some of my friends during that time had sponge painted rooms with a mix of purple and pink or blue and yellow. My mom and dad bought my childhood home in 2003 when my neighborhood was first being built so things like the light oak cabinets, , white kitechen appliances and light tracking were in the kitchen
Don't forget the "Victoian" fad of the mid to late 90's with chairrails, wainscoting, vintage light fixtures & furniture making a comeback. Also, Hunter Green and Mauve colors were everywhere, from carpeting to kitchen gadgets. Overall, not a bad decade with transitory technology, but seemed kinda rushed with everyone trying to get to the year 2000
I grew up in a legit Victorian mansion, so the décor we had in both the 80's and 90's matched the style of the house. However, I do remember there being a lot of oversized furniture, Lazyboy recliners, natural wood coffee and side tables back then. Everything was beige and/or pastel colors, with Hunter Green and Mauve definitely being popular as well. I also remember around 1993-94 there being a Native American trend. Literally people would have an entire Native American motif in their homes. Even other ethnic motifs as well, like African, Egyptian, etc. I'm certain people would freak out over that today and call it "cultural appropriation" 🙄 lol.
I'll admit to having a 90s home, light oak cabinets, white counter tops and white appliances, and a recessed light over the sink. No need to remodel it just for myself. In my living room still sits a cabinet for a stereo system, large speakers and CD storage. I now have a full digital music collection for my iPhone but why trash the CDs when they sound better than any MP3 thru ear buds?
“If it ain’t broke…” I hear ya! We come from a generation where one could refurbish a home or the decor to go into it, with a lil love and elbow grease. Ya can’t do that with today’s stuff. It bows and peels within a year of use. There’s no possibility that say something like the average blouse would last for the buyer’s needs, let alone be a suitable hand-me-down and didn’t hand-me-downs benefit us so much as kids?! I couldn’t wait to get my sister’s stuff and my cousin couldn’t wait to get it from me. It feels like everything is intentionally made to be disposable, from clothes to cars, and it makes me sad. Are we, as individuals, disposable or does that just apply to economics?! Ima tell you, the older I get, the more I wanna stay home. I don’t wanna mess with the new normal. I just want my CD’s and my dinosaur laptop with that super old version of Windows and wait this “Change” out. Jkjk, it does kinda freak ya out though, don’t it?!
Keep at it bro. I'm in a pretty low spot, but I've found I can still do some things.. both minor and major.. to improve my life. Actually.. any kind of activity makes me feel better tbh. =) And if you miss the 90s, there's a whole community of people that buy CRT TVs and 90s game consoles to relive that bit of it. I still have VCR/VHS lol. Keep in mind that CRTs are worse for your eyes though. 😂
😂 OMGOSH.... I must be stuck in the '90's because this all looks like my home now especially the big entertainment center in the LR. With the economy what it is ( looks like it will be for a long time to come) I will be stuck here forever ROFL. Who can afford to buy new stuff NOW??
@@AuroraBD0618 I feel like in the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s things were just made to last a really, really long time. That's why you're able to still enjoy your big TV and your big speakers. Nowadays I don't think things last that long.
I grew up in the 90's and all of this is very nostalgic. But now I feel like I should be in a rocking chair with a blanket in my lap and a nice bowl of soup, thinking about all the beanie babies and pogs I no longer own.
I was born in "97, but we still had all of this by near the end of the 2000's. Even though I'll only be 26 this year, before I know it 25 more years will have passed. We've come this far, who knows how different technology and homes will be in the 2040'a.
I remember the scare announcements of the coming of 2000 with the fear of what would happen to computers and the infrastructure. Especially during 1998-1999. 😮
@@mayorb3366 I thought according to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez it’s supposed to end in 2035 or something like that. Actually it will end when God says “That’s All Folks!”
@@glennso47 I think our doom (humans) will be from a mass extinction event.... giant meteor, volcanoes going nuts everywhere. enormous solar flares, etc... Maybe in the not too distant future. If our planet manages to avoid being obliterated otherwise, it still will be eaten when our sun starts expanding and consumes the inner planets (and Earth) about a billion years from now. When God says so!
I remember those too lol. No one in my family believed it and I remember my family having a big party on new years and having the TV on ready to mock the people at the party that thought we were all going to die. I think that was the first time I was also allowed to be up till midnight, which turned into more like 2 or 3 in the morning by the time my dad took me home.
All those same gullible people that believed the Y2K nonsense and bought so much stuff to "prepare" for end times, were the same ones that believed in the 2012 Mayan calendar and Nibiru nonsense (whose date kept changing when it never happened). Then those same people then turned into the "preppers", buying canned food and guns and learning how to build survival huts to satisfy some paranoia end-of-the-world fantasy. Then those same people became the QAnon quacks, who were weaponized by a right wing political disinformation campaign, resulting in what we know today as the "MAGA crowd. It's just a special brand of people who get heavily triggered by fear, hate and anger (and other things I won't mention in polite company) and are easily manipulated by right wing media and opportunistic snake oil salesmen into panic purchasing or propaganda conspiracies (Trump paraphernalia, guns, prepper kits, etc). Sad, but true. These folks just keep morphing from one conspiracy-driven fad to the next, yet never learning any lessons. Reminds me of an addicted slots player who can't stop pulling the handle or like people who spend their whole lives wasting money on lottery tickets, even though their odds are like a billion to one. They can't see the larger web of manipulation they are caught in.
Super Nintendo, and the Nintendo 64 were unbelievable advancements in gaming. The graphics, and all around gameplay were amazing… then the Sony PlayStation came out in 94, and gaming was never the same. Now look at gaming… from the graphics, and the realistic movements, on top of playing on a 60” tv.
A feature really common in 90s homes, was the halogen torchiere floor lamp, often using a 300 watt halogen bulb, and prior to 1996, 500 watt versions were also available, until UL pulled the listing off them for the fire hazard potential. Many even had a dimmer switch, and for a period, even made their way into college dormitories. These lamps got extremely hot, consumed more energy than many folks cared to admit, and homes often caught fire when curtains blow into the bowl, or the lamp tips over , or is placed in children's rooms and stuffed animals and clothes get tossed into the bowl. Today, you occasionally see then at thrift stores and garage sales, but are long since a thing of the past. They seemed to have disappeared from store shelves by the early 2000s.
I loved the '90's ! Compared to today, we were so much better off as a society and as a nation than we are now. All those were household things and electronics were GREAT 😃 I love all that , you left out Microwave popcorn and microwave snacks and foods😋 I would go back to the 90's right now if I could!
Hello you 😁. One of the other things people forget is the beginning of DVD in the 90's. It was far from affordable at the time but that would change in 2000 with the introduction of the PS2.
A good reminder! There were "weird phases" back then that went by forgotten while the t.v. tech evolved: Those "almost widescreen / almost flat screen / almost giant" t.v.s, with speakers on the side in front. They were still CRTs though. Computers looked like 80's monitors but a little more rounded. Then went to looking like mini widescreen, then those multi colored iMacs that came and went like a fever dream as Apple returned. Also, every new product had 2000 in the name, to make it sound futuristic! The Eureka 2000! The Panasonic 2000! A lot of people forget this. :]
@David Gill DVD's, yess! ...This was definitely an "early 90's" flashback, and not a late 90's. Playstation 1, Jaguar, and Sega Saturn came out late 90's. NeoGeo and that other one I forget... Late 90's had an annoying boy and girl band revival, teen pop artist and a cosmic-fashion revival after that martian rover landed. A lot of sci-fi movies in the late 90s used a very forgiveable mix of models and cgi that we will never, ever see again, just like those car-adapting GPS systems, as satellite positioning became a new development, and though ninja turtles was out, there was a mix of Star Wars revival and over-realistic / edgy and violent looking McFarlane style toys everywhere.
My parents moved into a newer home, but they brought all their 90s items from their old house. Although they may not be the prettiest nor match the house style at all, there’s a comforting feeling seeing all the familiar reminders of the 90s in their house. It feels like home.
Cordless phone next to the couch. 5 remotes on the coffee table. Some random beanie baby sitting somewhere. Blockbuster VHS box sitting waiting for the tape to be returned. A note left about a phone call or message about when someone will be back..
I have many fake green plants in my house. A couple are 15 years old. Never droop or die! 😁 The rest of my family have green thumbs but I missed that gene. I can’t believe my grandkids don’t use cd’s. I had the old eight track tapes in the 70’s, the cassettes and cd’s. Now, its all streaming and you have to buy plans to see it. My last VCR I got in 2002 for $39 on Black Friday.
Indeed. In 30yrs nobody is going to be going up into attic or down to the basement to bust out their subscription media… Hope it works out for everyone. I have hard copies of EVERYTHING I love. I still have cassettes, albums, CDs from when I was growing up in addition to modern digital versions. They can shut off the internet and I'll be happy as a clam.
The first CD i purchased for my brand new Compact Disc Player was "Babyface: Tender Lover" In the 1990s i used to listen to my neighbors cordless phone conversations on a simple radio scanner in addition to police/fire/schools. 💿
I personally did not like the 90's (was born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s) but my life changed the most through the 90's. Graduated high school in 92, college in 96, first real job after college in 96, got engaged in 97, bought my first house and was married in 98, and my wife was pregnant with our first child in 99 (born in 2000). Now it doesn't seem like much changes over a 10 year span, but the 90's did include a lot of life changes for me.
50’s and 60’s were my era of growing up. As a painting and remodeling contractor, I remember all these color fads along with the sponge painting. Earthtones, mauve and grey, yecch. Never got into video games, Music and cars were bland and unexciting. Come to think of it, I find nothing redeeming or rememberable about the decade, except it was a good time to scarf up all the vinyl people were dumping in favor of CD’s. Built up my collection quite a bit for next to nothing in those pre- EBay days
Still love earth tones. The organic look will never go out of style. Our house built in 1989 reflects this. Color is added with pictures and wall hangs. Redid the kitchen into wood, it was all gray formica. looked like a computer room, we both hated the original 70s and 80s bland, fake look of the original owners.
YES to all of this!!! 🤣 My husband I bought our first home in the 90s and so did a lot of our friends. SO many horrible sponge painting/rag painting jobs were being done! I hated this look even back then!
In fall 1997 a friend who bought his 1956 house. He had to hire professional painters in all rooms including sponge painting in formal dining wall in blue. It looks like real wallpaper and it’s been 25 years and still there.
The plastic trees and flowers in the 90’s. Lol! My mom still has them to this day. U forgot to mention wall borders. U applied them with paste either in the middle of the wall or on top. They were floral, fruit and such. Mom still has them up in every room!
I remember my grandparents talking about the '90s once and gotta admit it seems like a whole different era and everything so completely different to what I have today
Honey I feel for kids and young people in this new world 💔 I can't imagine not being able to be carefree and enjoy your youth without constant fear or constant agendas being pushed. The 1950s through the 1990s were a magical time in America. It's so pitiful we've gotten so far from where we were in all the worst ways 😭
I loved my little Toshiba bookshelf stereo that had CD, cassette and AM/FM with a remote. Less space than the 80s stack stereos, and could fit on the CD shelves! Also, one of those halogen torchiere lamps that were literally everywhere. A huge modem sitting next to the desktop computer and cordless phone hub. Chunky white lawn furniture made from recycled soda bottles. Memories!!! ❤🙏
Around 97 or 98, Walmart was just handing them out in stacks at checkout. So we'd have CD frisby wars in the parking lot, until we got chased out for hitting a bystander's car. Then we were off to a pal's house for an all night Bond session.
My current house, built in 1983, has a built-in entertainment center, light oak kitchen cabinets with formica countertops. The kitchen is the last room for me to upgrade. I was an Elementary school P.E. Teacher in 1990's and early 2000's. We would contract with a company to rent rollerblades for our 4th & 5th grade students to skate in our carpeted gym and outside on the hardtop. It was great to hold over on some of our more discipline problem students. 'Ohhh, you don't want to rollerblade next week?"
OMG, this totally captures the clutter everywhere from all the cassettes your friends made for you, all the movies you recorded, CDs, vinyl you still played, books, games, catalogs and magazines that came in the mail! The 1980s was all about consuming (think Dynasty) and by the 1990s we couldn't keep up with all the entertainment crap in our homes. I remember anytime we went on a road trip my husband would ask me to grab the box of cassettes from the back seat once every 90 minutes to change the music and it weighed a ton (it held 50 tapes). It's a wonder I didn't injure myself!
I cracked up when he mentioned faux plants. We had that exact faux ficus, we had the fake greenery over the kitchen cabinets, draped over the ledge of the “plant self” perched in a weird spot in the two story foyer (ah there’s a 90’s thing - house was built in ‘96). Fake dusty greenery everywhere lol. We even had pictures of fake greenery (why?)
KC - I think everyone had that fake ficus in their house... it was like an evil Chinese conspiracy or something... that ficus was so prevalent that finally even Michael's stopped carrying it because no one wanted any more... 😂
Great video covering the 90s exactly as I remember them. The bright colors and textures people associate with the 90s were mostly commercials and stores.
I'd be interested in what your putting in! Built my home in the 90's. Did some updating, but kept my warm cherry cabinets with nutmeg finish. Also put in built in book cases in my library. I kept my columns in between my dining room & living room. I have a Georgian colonial home so I like traditional
Because I ice skated and roller skated growing up in the sixties and early seventies roller blading was my heaven because I could do it anytime weather permitting…..65 now still have my blades an will occasionally put on a good record an do circles in my basement 😁
Oak cabinets, white appliances, we do have solid color walls, but we do have our bedroom with a gritty paint. We have the lighting, but flush mount now, and the fake plants, I love it. I will be getting loud speakers, and a receiver soon like I had when I was a kid. I'm 31 now. Keeping this era alive
2020s is all about geometric brass outlines (usually light fixtures, shelves, or planters) and a bright pastel purple/aqua color scheme inspired by fluorite. Plus that bold yet puffy art style. And lots of plants. That's one look I've noticed at least. Typically a few different styles will overlap and coexist for a time during a decade I think.
The 90s= honey oak everything, light beige paint colored walls, white appliances (trendy again today), VHS, CDs & boom boxes. I was just a kid but all of that was present in almost every home I'd seen.
I remember colorful wallpaper borders and window blinds of different colors and vertical office type blinds in homes too. Wild when you look back but fun when it was happening, lol.
I remember the big speakers.. I had a movie that would piss off the downstairs neighbors.. I got tired of their music on the TV full blast, and I played American History X full blast on repeat.. Those AOL Disc's, I used hot glue and cork and made coasters out of them.
My home was built in 1995 -- still have the original white Whirlpool refrigerator, and have replaced the stove, microwave, and dishwasher with -- you guessed it -- WHITE Whirlpool appliances. We have one recessed light above our kitchen sink (where our window is located) and one tall silk tree in the corner of our living room. No more DVD or CD players (other than a portable boom box) but still have 100's of CD's and both DVD and VCR tapes hidden in cabinets. No Nintendo game consoles and track lighting, but we STILL have cordless phones (we have a landline still for our phones and alarm system). My partner even STILL has an AOL email account, while I have Gmail. Oh, and our painted walls are white and beige colors because that was the original colors when the house was repainted in 2000. Love these videos, as I also commented on your 1980's home video too. Thanks for showing me how out of date our home has become! 😁
I didn't care for the '90s at the time, but looking in the rear-view mirror, the decade was amazing. The first half were my high school years, which were pretty bad. When I graduated in 1994 and moved away from that area to start college, that was when the '90s truly started for me.
When my then-husband and I had our house built in 1995, we painted our bedroom in a sand color using the suede technique. It looked really nice, and when it was finished it felt just like suede! ETA: We put in surround sound in the living room instead of big speakers cos we didn't have the space.
We went with a five channel surround setup too. We didn’t have the room. Was a Xmas gift but my wife threw out her back wrestling the box from her car. When she asked for help that pretty much ended the surprise.
i was a teenager in the 80s and in my 20s in the 90s .. best years of my life , and i'm so glad all the cd's and video tapes have gone out of style .. took up half my living room .. lol
I miss those days I was a little girl I experienced almost everything in this video wow at 37 now it feels so surreal to be a part of a cool ara in history to grow up in!
My parents current house was built in the mid 00's but has the light oak everything, with white appliances. Brought the old audio entertainment stand right along with and still have the VHS tapes and cassettes in those fake wood drawers. Thanks for the memories.
I really regret giving my CD & Vinyl to the Goodwill. I thought it was convenient & less storage to purchase music on Amazon. Lately Amazon has been giving me trouble being able to access my own songs & playlists. It's like they're trying to get me to subscribe to Amazon Music for a fee when I already own the music.
Nothing beats good physical media. The good news is that CDs and DVDs are cheap at Goodwill and so are CD and DVD players. However new CD and DVD players have audio and video enhancement circuitry. Video quality of DVDs rivals that of 1080p on a modern TV and blu ray. CD players with 16 bit A to D converters are far better than the old 8 bit A to D converters from the 90s.
Good news you can rebuy them for 25 to .99 cents per CD or album. Far less the $20per CD you paid back when they were new or the $10 for Albums. You'll have to shop but if you like popular music they still passing through second hand stores and as more people die and estates are cleaned out.... Plus if you don't have physical copy you don't own the music. If you haven't learned by know that they can shut off any service or remove content you paid for with no recourse, you might need to read the terms of service you so hastily like fool clicked yes to.... No one can take away the music on CD's I own, the old shows that new streaming service has generic Musik knock off sound-a-like soundtrack because they didn't want to pay for the rights to reuse the original music as was present in the original shows. Which some tv shows and films were made by their soundtracks , which scored our lives....
I was kid in the early 90s and a teen in the mid to late 90s, all the trends in this video were in my parents house minus the sponge painted walls, my mom had a thing for country duck wallpaper. I live in a mid 80s house and some of my decor is reminiscent of the 90s.
Oddly, my mother lives in a house we built in 1978, it has wood stained cabinets, AND recessed can lights, why they chose to locate my bedroom light in front of the closet is beyond me.. eventually I moved into a bigger (in fact the biggest) bedroom upstairs, it had a conventional light in the center, my stepfather lives there now, and put a ceiling fan in.. funny thing, my mother couldn't understand why I put a army blanket over the window until my stepfather moved up there, they replaced the windows, that wasn't enough, it was still cold in the winter, it turns out the siding (T-111) hadn't been adhesed properly... so many things you tell your parents and they don't listen.. I told mom about the cold room, splitting the fax line off to a different account before porting it to her cell [she lost all of her telephone services and DSL], and computer services.. she's still stuck on one that a billionaire abuses your privacy and tracks your every move on the web. If I could get a hardwired phone here, I would, but our telco put everyone on fiber, and it's VOIP.. power goes out, no way to call a ambulance.. my grandmother had a stroke and a hardwired phone saved her.
One thing they don't mention: there were home computers, but they were very expensive ans many people didn't have them for awhile. Cell phones did t become really accessible and practical till the end of the decade.

Happens to all of us! I’m born in 88 so right there with ya.
40 isn't old. Your fine.
@@central_scrutinizr Born in 88? You're still young!
Feel you my friend 🙌
No kidding!
As I 90s kid, I'll always feel like that's the best decade. We had the perfect balance of technology and personal interactions.
AGREED &I feel like even if you weren’t born in the 90s you still know it was the best decade. Literally everything got upgraded in the 90s
💯👍
as a 2010s kid i am jealous of you. i wish i was a 90s kid too
This one claim could be said about every decade, but it is pretty much depends on country
Facts 💯💯💯

He put it together himself, put it in the living room and that dang thing was in that living room until last week. I sold the house and the new owner took it out.

Me too. Mom bought one. A monstrosity.
Rachel Cody. That’s hilarious. Ty for sharing.
My dad built his own
I remember when we brought my family cat home (she's around 13 years old now, and we found her as a very littke kitten), once she was past the toddling phase and into the running everywhere around the house phase, she kept trying to climb under our big oak entertainment center (which we'd had since the 90s). It had these little scrollwork cutouts on the bottom, which meant she'd theoretically be able to squeeze under there (it would've been a tight fit), but we were so worried she'd get stuck climbing in, or worse, get stuck under there and not be able to come out! Since we weren't able to move it without taking the whole thing apart (which we weren't about to do because we were using it), we just piled a lot of books and rolled up towels on the floor in front of it. The cat then decided to play inside the dryer and the couch cushions instead 😭 lol somehow, despite her continuing foolishness, she is still hale and healthy
My first decade as a wife, mother and homeowner. The best decade of my life. ❤️
That is so wholesome!!!!
Same! I had my son in 98, I was 20. Easily got an apartment, a job, a new car loan, credit cards galore.
Agree with you 💯💯💯
This was my house in the 90’s, 3 young kids, lots of computer games and Nintendo, desktop computer and we only got a certain amount of minutes and my kids always went over, dial up was the worst because it was our phone line!! My sons had rollerblades causing me endless worry. It went by so fast. Thank you for the memories.
You got that right
Dial up just sucked!
@@smujer1 it sure did. I’m glad we don’t have that anymore.
It was a big leap going from DSL to Cable.
I raised my 2 kids then, too and you’re so right- it flew by! I miss my kids being young but I’m so proud of who they’ve become💜💙
You’re also right about dial up being the worst, but those were the days!
Ahh the 90s was a golden era for life.
Indeed it was.❤
The 1990- 1999 was a awesome year for me from 10 to 19 years of age, it was the best time. I wish I had a time machine so that I can go back into that in years so that I can tell myself and warm myself don't do crazy things when you get older.
I'd pay you a million dollars to take me with you. 😁
The 90's in comparison to the 80's was the ''future''
Everything was 'evolved' and 'modern'
Anything of the 80's was deemed ancient.
Now we miss them all. :)
The 1990s were the time of my life!!!
90s kid here. I miss the 90s. It's self-explanatory. Whoever grew up in that decade.
The 90's went by in a blur. I blinked and it was over it seemed.
I feel the same lol
That just means you had fun in the 90s like I did. 👍
More 90s and 00s please. So many memories from living those wonderful decades 🙌🙌
They need to do the 2000s & 2010s for the Flashback Series
I've lived thru these decades. They were not wonderful.
@@howtubeable I'm sorry
Lol, this is for real the first time I've seen or heard someone express nostalgia for the '00s. I thought it was a decade no one missed. I should probably feel something for my younger days, but man, it was tough times, tough times.
Stop at 2010.
I had a really cool stereo with a CD player that could hold 24 CDs in it at a time. I used to love to put it on shuffle mode!
I had a really nice Pioneer stereo from Montgomery Ward.
We have one that holds 200 CD's.Bought it in the late 1990's. We now have a bluetooth transmitter attached to it and listen to the CD's anywhere inside or outside the house.
Still have CDs and use them, especially in my car. Still have VCR tapes to record figure skating and cassette tapes and a film camera.
@@HobbyHillsVideos wow! That's awesome!
Me too.
I have a guilty admission. I bought my house in the early 90s. Almost every single thing in this video was (or is still!) in this house. The only exception was rollerblades, because I knew better (I have no coordination lol). We still have a wall that is sponge-painted, we just got rid of our huge entertainment center and big old speakers and trashed most of our VHS tapes (no one wants them anymore). I still have a set of coasters my sister made out of AOL CDs lol. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go dust the plants in the dining room...
😁😁😁
Oh heck yea my family used to use the AOL CDs as coasters too!
Only room in our 1995-built house that was sponge painted is our powder room downstairs. 🙂 Oh, and don't forget that we all joined the Columbia House Club for those free CD and then those DVD that we would get in the mail every month if we didn't send back that postcard to tell them we don't want that CD or DVD of the Month!!!
Time to remodel.
I still have all my Disney VHS tapes from the 80’s and 90’s- ain’t getting rid of them! Lol
Perfect time!!!! The rite balance of simplicity/tech. Everything you needed.
This brought back so many memories! Thank you! 90’s was a great time to grow up in!
I remember buying CD's for the first time in 1994, although I was still primarily using cassette tapes as my main source of music. It wouldn't be until 1998 when CD's became my main medium for music-listening. I also remember the advent of DVD's in the late 90's when my family had a computer with a DVD-ROM drive. I also rented a lot of movies on VHS tape in the 90's, as there were several movie rental stores in my hometown at the time. Internet access came about in 1995 when my family got an AOL CD-ROM, and I was amazed at the fact that there was this whole new world out there online. Granted, the dial-up connection was painfully slow, but for the time, it was the bee's knees!
Don't forget the "Southwestern" fad of the early 90s of colors, etc! Haha! A friend eventually got me a caller ID phone because I wouldn't answer right away when he called due to annoyance calls! When I finally replaced my gigantic computer monitor with a flat screen my cat was furious because she couldn't climb up on top of it to sleep anymore!
Those wooden cactus and coyote howling lol
Poor kitty 😺 😢
Our cat was equally non-plussed when the first flat screen monitor appeared in our house. He actually did try to climb up and balance on it. He was swiftly removed and went off to pout for days. In fact, I don't think he ever did forgive us!
@@carolynhotchkiss4760 don't worry, folks! She just went and slept in the computer chair after I got up!😼😹
They liked the heat of the monitors 😂❤
The sponge paint trend lasted until the mid 2000s. By that time, the colors went from pastels to deep dark earth tone colors, ie browns and yellows.
My house was built in '96 and still has light oak cabinets, track lighting in kitchen, white appliances, and polishsd brass hardware and fixtures. There's a large niche above the fireplace for your tube TV. I've covered it over to mount a flat screen there.
I'm guessing the gross earth tones were an adult thing cause if you were a kid in the mid 2000s like how I was then those sponge paint wall was still cool along with colorful beads hanging over doorways, furry blankets and pillows that were like miss match pink purple. White furniture was in, lava lamps, inflatable chairs, and CRT TVs that had different themes. were everywhere. Something's from the 90s were still a thing. It's just that you had to be younger I guess. Some of my friends during that time had sponge painted rooms with a mix of purple and pink or blue and yellow.
My mom and dad bought my childhood home in 2003 when my neighborhood was first being built so things like the light oak cabinets, , white kitechen appliances and light tracking were in the kitchen
You're right! I remember the sponge paint thing going on and on, only the colors evolving.
My condo was built in '99 and is the same, except the previous owner upgraded the appliances.
I miss the 90s! I was a teen back then! Best times ever!
Don't forget the "Victoian" fad of the mid to late 90's with chairrails, wainscoting, vintage light fixtures & furniture making a comeback. Also, Hunter Green and Mauve colors were everywhere, from carpeting to kitchen gadgets. Overall, not a bad decade with transitory technology, but seemed kinda rushed with everyone trying to get to the year 2000
I remember that as more 80s, while the 90s seemed to be about Mediterranean, Tuscan type looks.
As a kid, I had Hunter green everything! It was my favorite color.
We had Victorian look in our living room. Mauve walls, a hunter green chair, with a black sofa. Dark cherry tables with green marble tops.
If only we knew what the 21st century had in store, we wouldn't have been in such a rush to get there!
I grew up in a legit Victorian mansion, so the décor we had in both the 80's and 90's matched the style of the house. However, I do remember there being a lot of oversized furniture, Lazyboy recliners, natural wood coffee and side tables back then. Everything was beige and/or pastel colors, with Hunter Green and Mauve definitely being popular as well. I also remember around 1993-94 there being a Native American trend. Literally people would have an entire Native American motif in their homes. Even other ethnic motifs as well, like African, Egyptian, etc. I'm certain people would freak out over that today and call it "cultural appropriation" 🙄 lol.
Would live to see more about the 1990s, the era of my childhood.
I'll admit to having a 90s home, light oak cabinets, white counter tops and white appliances, and a recessed light over the sink. No need to remodel it just for myself. In my living room still sits a cabinet for a stereo system, large speakers and CD storage. I now have a full digital music collection for my iPhone but why trash the CDs when they sound better than any MP3 thru ear buds?
Agree. It still works good rather than dump in thrift stores.
and vinyl and tape decks from the 1980's sound ever better yet. It's been going downhill for a very long time.
FYI you can stream through TIDAL with CD quality sound. Keep the CDs though. Lots of titles are hard to find on streaming services.
“If it ain’t broke…” I hear ya! We come from a generation where one could refurbish a home or the decor to go into it, with a lil love and elbow grease. Ya can’t do that with today’s stuff. It bows and peels within a year of use.
There’s no possibility that say something like the average blouse would last for the buyer’s needs, let alone be a suitable hand-me-down and didn’t hand-me-downs benefit us so much as kids?! I couldn’t wait to get my sister’s stuff and my cousin couldn’t wait to get it from me.
It feels like everything is intentionally made to be disposable, from clothes to cars, and it makes me sad. Are we, as individuals, disposable or does that just apply to economics?! Ima tell you, the older I get, the more I wanna stay home. I don’t wanna mess with the new normal. I just want my CD’s and my dinosaur laptop with that super old version of Windows and wait this “Change” out. Jkjk, it does kinda freak ya out though, don’t it?!
I love light oak in the home, it looks so warm yet classy. It hurts my soul whenever I see someone paint over natural wood!
I remember all these things from the 1990's. Thank you for the memories!
dont forget the clear glass blocks as seen in the last clip of the plastic plants. those were everywhere on walls and in bathrooms.
Totally. I love 90s movies when you see a fancy modern rich person’s house and it’s got glass block walls with colored lights.
especially in the 80's and 90's down in Florida I used to live there and they were everywhere
I actually like those clear glass blocks. Are they suppose to be naff? 🤣
I was in the U.S. Army during the 90s. This video brings back a lot of memories of being married with children and living in military housing. 🇺🇸
I was a military spouse during this time also so it was a fun RUclips to watch
Damn - I'm 60yrs old....
So many memories of a time gone by!
So in the 90s you were the age I am now. What advice do you have for me? =)
Just bought a place. Stuck in early 90s design. My family laughs but I ain’t changing it. I love it
I miss the 90s so much. Looking around in 2023 and I feel like I'm in a nightmare. I just want to go back. 😢
Keep at it bro. I'm in a pretty low spot, but I've found I can still do some things.. both minor and major.. to improve my life. Actually.. any kind of activity makes me feel better tbh. =)
And if you miss the 90s, there's a whole community of people that buy CRT TVs and 90s game consoles to relive that bit of it. I still have VCR/VHS lol. Keep in mind that CRTs are worse for your eyes though. 😂
Still have my VHS, DVD & cd collection. Always a place for them when the grid goes down
😂 OMGOSH.... I must be stuck in the '90's because this all looks like my home now especially the big entertainment center in the LR. With the economy what it is ( looks like it will be for a long time to come) I will be stuck here forever ROFL. Who can afford to buy new stuff NOW??
Being stuck in the '80s OR '90s is not a bad thing...😊
I’m sitting here in my very 90s style kitchen thinking the same thing! And I still have the big TV & speakers, too lol
Don't feel bad the 1990s isn't even dry behind the ears yet
@@AuroraBD0618 I feel like in the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s things were just made to last a really, really long time. That's why you're able to still enjoy your big TV and your big speakers. Nowadays I don't think things last that long.
I am not being rude by stating the fact that the 90's decor is over 32 years ago.
I grew up in the 90's and all of this is very nostalgic. But now I feel like I should be in a rocking chair with a blanket in my lap and a nice bowl of soup, thinking about all the beanie babies and pogs I no longer own.
i have a ton of pogs
I know right!
I own a lot of beanie babies even though I wasn’t from the 90s
I was born in "97, but we still had all of this by near the end of the 2000's. Even though I'll only be 26 this year, before I know it 25 more years will have passed. We've come this far, who knows how different technology and homes will be in the 2040'a.
I remember the scare announcements of the coming of 2000 with the fear of what would happen to computers and the infrastructure. Especially during 1998-1999. 😮
Y2K was a scare for many, then in 2012 the world was supposed to end!
@@mayorb3366 I thought according to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez it’s supposed to end in 2035 or something like that. Actually it will end when God says “That’s All Folks!”
@@glennso47 I think our doom (humans) will be from a mass extinction event.... giant meteor, volcanoes going nuts everywhere. enormous solar flares, etc...
Maybe in the not too distant future.
If our planet manages to avoid being obliterated otherwise, it still will be eaten when our sun starts expanding and consumes the inner planets (and Earth) about a billion years from now. When God says so!
I remember those too lol. No one in my family believed it and I remember my family having a big party on new years and having the TV on ready to mock the people at the party that thought we were all going to die.
I think that was the first time I was also allowed to be up till midnight, which turned into more like 2 or 3 in the morning by the time my dad took me home.
All those same gullible people that believed the Y2K nonsense and bought so much stuff to "prepare" for end times, were the same ones that believed in the 2012 Mayan calendar and Nibiru nonsense (whose date kept changing when it never happened). Then those same people then turned into the "preppers", buying canned food and guns and learning how to build survival huts to satisfy some paranoia end-of-the-world fantasy. Then those same people became the QAnon quacks, who were weaponized by a right wing political disinformation campaign, resulting in what we know today as the "MAGA crowd.
It's just a special brand of people who get heavily triggered by fear, hate and anger (and other things I won't mention in polite company) and are easily manipulated by right wing media and opportunistic snake oil salesmen into panic purchasing or propaganda conspiracies (Trump paraphernalia, guns, prepper kits, etc). Sad, but true. These folks just keep morphing from one conspiracy-driven fad to the next, yet never learning any lessons. Reminds me of an addicted slots player who can't stop pulling the handle or like people who spend their whole lives wasting money on lottery tickets, even though their odds are like a billion to one. They can't see the larger web of manipulation they are caught in.
As a 90s kid who remembers the cordless phones with the long metal antennas that we would have Sword fights with.
Super Nintendo, and the Nintendo 64 were unbelievable advancements in gaming. The graphics, and all around gameplay were amazing… then the Sony PlayStation came out in 94, and gaming was never the same. Now look at gaming… from the graphics, and the realistic movements, on top of playing on a 60” tv.
A feature really common in 90s homes, was the halogen torchiere floor lamp, often using a 300 watt halogen bulb, and prior to 1996, 500 watt versions were also available, until UL pulled the listing off them for the fire hazard potential. Many even had a dimmer switch, and for a period, even made their way into college dormitories. These lamps got extremely hot, consumed more energy than many folks cared to admit, and homes often caught fire when curtains blow into the bowl, or the lamp tips over , or is placed in children's rooms and stuffed animals and clothes get tossed into the bowl. Today, you occasionally see then at thrift stores and garage sales, but are long since a thing of the past. They seemed to have disappeared from store shelves by the early 2000s.
Kid from the 90s myself it just felt simpler
I still really like the light oak cabinets and white appliances.
I loved the '90's ! Compared to today, we were so much better off as a society and as a nation than we are now.
All those were household things and electronics were GREAT 😃 I love all that , you left out Microwave popcorn and microwave snacks and foods😋
I would go back to the 90's right now if I could!
I still have a huge CD and DVD collection. Laugh now, but they will be worth something someday. Look at even a pezz Despenser from the old times.
Moving up to widescreen televisions was a big 90s thing that everyone forgets happening.
Very few people had it. Although avaliable, it didnt really happen until the 00's.
Hello you 😁. One of the other things people forget is the beginning of DVD in the 90's. It was far from affordable at the time but that would change in 2000 with the introduction of the PS2.
A good reminder! There were "weird phases" back then that went by forgotten while the t.v. tech evolved:
Those "almost widescreen / almost flat screen / almost giant" t.v.s, with speakers on the side in front. They were still CRTs though.
Computers looked like 80's monitors but a little more rounded. Then went to looking like mini widescreen, then those multi colored iMacs that came and went like a fever dream as Apple returned.
Also, every new product had 2000 in the name, to make it sound futuristic! The Eureka 2000! The Panasonic 2000! A lot of people forget this. :]
@David Gill DVD's, yess! ...This was definitely an "early 90's" flashback, and not a late 90's.
Playstation 1, Jaguar, and Sega Saturn came out late 90's. NeoGeo and that other one I forget...
Late 90's had an annoying boy and girl band revival, teen pop artist and a cosmic-fashion revival after that martian rover landed.
A lot of sci-fi movies in the late 90s used a very forgiveable mix of models and cgi that we will never, ever see again,
just like those car-adapting GPS systems, as satellite positioning became a new development,
and though ninja turtles was out, there was a mix of Star Wars revival and over-realistic / edgy and violent looking McFarlane style toys everywhere.
@@bentonrp very true. All staples of the late 90's. I remember that my family got our first DVD player when The Matrix came out in 1999.
My parents moved into a newer home, but they brought all their 90s items from their old house. Although they may not be the prettiest nor match the house style at all, there’s a comforting feeling seeing all the familiar reminders of the 90s in their house. It feels like home.
Same. We just got done throwing some of it out because they're redoing the floors again. It's truly the belated end of an era.
Cordless phone next to the couch.
5 remotes on the coffee table.
Some random beanie baby sitting somewhere.
Blockbuster VHS box sitting waiting for the tape to be returned.
A note left about a phone call or message about when someone will be back..
Ahhh, the good old days!
You got that right
I have many fake green plants in my house. A couple are 15 years old. Never droop or die! 😁 The rest of my family have green thumbs but I missed that gene. I can’t believe my grandkids don’t use cd’s. I had the old eight track tapes in the 70’s, the cassettes and cd’s. Now, its all streaming and you have to buy plans to see it. My last VCR I got in 2002 for $39 on Black Friday.
Indeed. In 30yrs nobody is going to be going up into attic or down to the basement to bust out their subscription media… Hope it works out for everyone. I have hard copies of EVERYTHING I love. I still have cassettes, albums, CDs from when I was growing up in addition to modern digital versions. They can shut off the internet and I'll be happy as a clam.
I was 14 to 24 during the 90s. What a time to be alive.
Awesome 😎 wasn't it?!?!
dam u gota be old as hell now bruh 😂
@@jessihawkins9116 My achy bones would agree. 😎
@@jessihawkins9116 47 is not old. What is your problem?
@@PraveenSrJ01 47? geez he’s even older than I thought 😧
I grew up in the 90s and this video is bringing back a lot of nostalgia.
The first CD i purchased for my brand new Compact Disc Player was "Babyface: Tender Lover" In the 1990s i used to listen to my neighbors cordless phone conversations on a simple radio scanner in addition to police/fire/schools. 💿
I used to listen to the McDonalds drive thru. 😂
@@jimsmith7829 😆 👍
I remember hearing other phone conversations cutting into mine. It drove me nuts lol
The good old days
I personally did not like the 90's (was born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s) but my life changed the most through the 90's. Graduated high school in 92, college in 96, first real job after college in 96, got engaged in 97, bought my first house and was married in 98, and my wife was pregnant with our first child in 99 (born in 2000). Now it doesn't seem like much changes over a 10 year span, but the 90's did include a lot of life changes for me.
50’s and 60’s were my era of growing up. As a painting and remodeling contractor, I remember all these color fads along with the sponge painting. Earthtones, mauve and grey, yecch. Never got into video games, Music and cars were bland and unexciting. Come to think of it, I find nothing redeeming or rememberable about the decade, except it was a good time to scarf up all the vinyl people were dumping in favor of CD’s. Built up my collection quite a bit for next to nothing in those pre- EBay days
Still love earth tones. The organic look will never go out of style. Our house built in 1989 reflects this. Color is added with pictures and wall hangs. Redid the kitchen into wood, it was all gray formica. looked like a computer room, we both hated the original 70s and 80s bland, fake look of the original owners.
@@stuarthirsch I have no problem with earthtones, it was the mauve and grey I was yucking. Should have phrased my comment differently
I had everything described here! Thanks for the memories!
YES to all of this!!! 🤣 My husband I bought our first home in the 90s and so did a lot of our friends. SO many horrible sponge painting/rag painting jobs were being done! I hated this look even back then!
In fall 1997 a friend who bought his 1956 house. He had to hire professional painters in all rooms including sponge painting in formal dining wall in blue. It looks like real wallpaper and it’s been 25 years and still there.
The plastic trees and flowers in the 90’s. Lol! My mom still has them to this day. U forgot to mention wall borders. U applied them with paste either in the middle of the wall or on top. They were floral, fruit and such. Mom still has them up in every room!
I remember my grandparents talking about the '90s once and gotta admit it seems like a whole different era and everything so completely different to what I have today
Honey I feel for kids and young people in this new world 💔 I can't imagine not being able to be carefree and enjoy your youth without constant fear or constant agendas being pushed. The 1950s through the 1990s were a magical time in America. It's so pitiful we've gotten so far from where we were in all the worst ways 😭
Man I feel old. Thanks a lot! 🤣
I loved my little Toshiba bookshelf stereo that had CD, cassette and AM/FM with a remote. Less space than the 80s stack stereos, and could fit on the CD shelves! Also, one of those halogen torchiere lamps that were literally everywhere. A huge modem sitting next to the desktop computer and cordless phone hub. Chunky white lawn furniture made from recycled soda bottles.
Memories!!! ❤🙏
I remember putting those AOL cds in the microwave. And so glad sponge painting is a thing of the past! 😂😂😂
@Brandon S Yeah, me too!
Around 97 or 98, Walmart was just handing them out in stacks at checkout. So we'd have CD frisby wars in the parking lot, until we got chased out for hitting a bystander's car.
Then we were off to a pal's house for an all night Bond session.
I remember trying to watch porn on AOL back then and my mom and dad pulled up in the middle of it loading up, then the screen froze 🤣 D'oh!
My current house, built in 1983, has a built-in entertainment center, light oak kitchen cabinets with formica countertops. The kitchen is the last room for me to upgrade.
I was an Elementary school P.E. Teacher in 1990's and early 2000's. We would contract with a company to rent rollerblades for our 4th & 5th grade students to skate in our carpeted gym and outside on the hardtop. It was great to hold over on some of our more discipline problem students. 'Ohhh, you don't want to rollerblade next week?"
Did you paddle the students back then
OMG, this totally captures the clutter everywhere from all the cassettes your friends made for you, all the movies you recorded, CDs, vinyl you still played, books, games, catalogs and magazines that came in the mail! The 1980s was all about consuming (think Dynasty) and by the 1990s we couldn't keep up with all the entertainment crap in our homes. I remember anytime we went on a road trip my husband would ask me to grab the box of cassettes from the back seat once every 90 minutes to change the music and it weighed a ton (it held 50 tapes). It's a wonder I didn't injure myself!
I still have the CDs and CD cases and the cordless phone. I had the VHS tapes and big entertainment center.
I cracked up when he mentioned faux plants. We had that exact faux ficus, we had the fake greenery over the kitchen cabinets, draped over the ledge of the “plant self” perched in a weird spot in the two story foyer (ah there’s a 90’s thing - house was built in ‘96). Fake dusty greenery everywhere lol. We even had pictures of fake greenery (why?)
KC - I think everyone had that fake ficus in their house... it was like an evil Chinese conspiracy or something... that ficus was so prevalent that finally even Michael's stopped carrying it because no one wanted any more... 😂
We had fake greenery in the 50s and 60s. They were plastic. Did the trick if you didn't "inspect" them really close 😛😁
Fake plants are dust collection. Put outside during wind or shake it. I use real!
Great video covering the 90s exactly as I remember them. The bright colors and textures people associate with the 90s were mostly commercials and stores.
I was born 91 I remember all of these I miss the 90s so much and I still got it some of these things
My favorite decade so far....
(I still have a fake tree in kitchen corner) lol
been waiting for this one! i am a 1993 baby and am currently doing up my house to look authentically vintage and 90s. good inspo :)
I'd be interested in what your putting in! Built my home in the 90's. Did some updating, but kept my warm cherry cabinets with nutmeg finish. Also put in built in book cases in my library. I kept my columns in between my dining room & living room. I have a Georgian colonial home so I like traditional
Because I ice skated and roller skated growing up in the sixties and early seventies roller blading was my heaven because I could do it anytime weather permitting…..65 now still have my blades an will occasionally put on a good record an do circles in my basement 😁
Oak cabinets, white appliances, we do have solid color walls, but we do have our bedroom with a gritty paint. We have the lighting, but flush mount now, and the fake plants, I love it.
I will be getting loud speakers, and a receiver soon like I had when I was a kid. I'm 31 now. Keeping this era alive
2020’s will be remembered for how much we reminisced for the simpler times now passed 😁
2020s is all about geometric brass outlines (usually light fixtures, shelves, or planters) and a bright pastel purple/aqua color scheme inspired by fluorite. Plus that bold yet puffy art style. And lots of plants. That's one look I've noticed at least. Typically a few different styles will overlap and coexist for a time during a decade I think.
The 90s= honey oak everything, light beige paint colored walls, white appliances (trendy again today), VHS, CDs & boom boxes. I was just a kid but all of that was present in almost every home I'd seen.
White appliances are trendy again?
And yeah, so many VHSs everywhere. Really blew me away when I moved to the US in 1995.
As an early 90’s baby, I wish I could go back to these times
I’m an 80s baby and was a teenager in the mid 1990s and have had a ton of AOL cds 💿 all around the house 🏠.
I'm an early 90s HS graduate 😂
I remember colorful wallpaper borders and window blinds of different colors and vertical office type blinds in homes too. Wild when you look back but fun when it was happening, lol.
Several of my college instructors used to arrive to class on roller blades!
My dad still has those 90s Black Bose speakers, and they still work great!
Thank you so much for a 90s video! I hope you do more
We had one VCR, two corded phone's, my dad had a fisher receiver, big fisher speaker's , I had a Sega Genesis, and a NES.
I remember the big speakers.. I had a movie that would piss off the downstairs neighbors.. I got tired of their music on the TV full blast, and I played American History X full blast on repeat..
Those AOL Disc's, I used hot glue and cork and made coasters out of them.
My home was built in 1995 -- still have the original white Whirlpool refrigerator, and have replaced the stove, microwave, and dishwasher with -- you guessed it -- WHITE Whirlpool appliances. We have one recessed light above our kitchen sink (where our window is located) and one tall silk tree in the corner of our living room. No more DVD or CD players (other than a portable boom box) but still have 100's of CD's and both DVD and VCR tapes hidden in cabinets. No Nintendo game consoles and track lighting, but we STILL have cordless phones (we have a landline still for our phones and alarm system). My partner even STILL has an AOL email account, while I have Gmail. Oh, and our painted walls are white and beige colors because that was the original colors when the house was repainted in 2000. Love these videos, as I also commented on your 1980's home video too. Thanks for showing me how out of date our home has become! 😁
@2:55 - I am surprised he didn't mention the huge tower that was used for the computers. Heck, some places still use those massive towers.
I still use them for work. They last way longer than the laptops which are good for 3 years max.
I didn't care for the '90s at the time, but looking in the rear-view mirror, the decade was amazing. The first half were my high school years, which were pretty bad. When I graduated in 1994 and moved away from that area to start college, that was when the '90s truly started for me.
Wow...feel mad nostalgia right now
YEEESSSS!!!😍😍😍
I used my Sony Discman from the early 90's through the early 2000's. I always had it with me.
Me and my dad did the sponge 🧽 painting in the kitchen. My parents still have it today. Lol
When my then-husband and I had our house built in 1995, we painted our bedroom in a sand color using the suede technique. It looked really nice, and when it was finished it felt just like suede! ETA: We put in surround sound in the living room instead of big speakers cos we didn't have the space.
i DID THE DENIM PAINT
I did the denim too! Twice!! I loved those Ralph Lauren kits. The denim below a chair-height border worked really well for both kids’ rooms.
We went with a five channel surround setup too. We didn’t have the room. Was a Xmas gift but my wife threw out her back wrestling the box from her car. When she asked for help that pretty much ended the surprise.
i was a teenager in the 80s and in my 20s in the 90s .. best years of my life , and i'm so glad all the cd's and video tapes have gone out of style .. took up half my living room .. lol
Great video 🤙 Disney clamshells were all the rave 🤣
Lol is good melancholic moment to go back and relived what once used to be and you were part of
I remember all this very well 😢
I wish it was still 1990 something
I miss those days I was a little girl I experienced almost everything in this video wow at 37 now it feels so surreal to be a part of a cool ara in history to grow up in!
My parents current house was built in the mid 00's but has the light oak everything, with white appliances. Brought the old audio entertainment stand right along with and still have the VHS tapes and cassettes in those fake wood drawers. Thanks for the memories.
I really regret giving my CD & Vinyl to the Goodwill. I thought it was convenient & less storage to purchase music on Amazon. Lately Amazon has been giving me trouble being able to access my own songs & playlists. It's like they're trying to get me to subscribe to Amazon Music for a fee when I already own the music.
hard copy is always best
Nothing beats good physical media. The good news is that CDs and DVDs are cheap at Goodwill and so are CD and DVD players. However new CD and DVD players have audio and video enhancement circuitry. Video quality of DVDs rivals that of 1080p on a modern TV and blu ray. CD players with 16 bit A to D converters are far better than the old 8 bit A to D converters from the 90s.
Good news you can rebuy them for 25 to .99 cents per CD or album. Far less the $20per CD you paid back when they were new or the $10 for Albums. You'll have to shop but if you like popular music they still passing through second hand stores and as more people die and estates are cleaned out....
Plus if you don't have physical copy you don't own the music. If you haven't learned by know that they can shut off any service or remove content you paid for with no recourse, you might need to read the terms of service you so hastily like fool clicked yes to.... No one can take away the music on CD's I own, the old shows that new streaming service has generic Musik knock off sound-a-like soundtrack because they didn't want to pay for the rights to reuse the original music as was present in the original shows. Which some tv shows and films were made by their soundtracks , which scored our lives....
I miss the 90s
12:00 was always blinking somewhere in every Home.
I was kid in the early 90s and a teen in the mid to late 90s, all the trends in this video were in my parents house minus the sponge painted walls, my mom had a thing for country duck wallpaper. I live in a mid 80s house and some of my decor is reminiscent of the 90s.
Oddly, my mother lives in a house we built in 1978, it has wood stained cabinets, AND recessed can lights, why they chose to locate my bedroom light in front of the closet is beyond me.. eventually I moved into a bigger (in fact the biggest) bedroom upstairs, it had a conventional light in the center, my stepfather lives there now, and put a ceiling fan in.. funny thing, my mother couldn't understand why I put a army blanket over the window until my stepfather moved up there, they replaced the windows, that wasn't enough, it was still cold in the winter, it turns out the siding (T-111) hadn't been adhesed properly... so many things you tell your parents and they don't listen.. I told mom about the cold room, splitting the fax line off to a different account before porting it to her cell [she lost all of her telephone services and DSL], and computer services.. she's still stuck on one that a billionaire abuses your privacy and tracks your every move on the web.
If I could get a hardwired phone here, I would, but our telco put everyone on fiber, and it's VOIP.. power goes out, no way to call a ambulance.. my grandmother had a stroke and a hardwired phone saved her.
My family still has our CDs from the 90's.
I remember all that, PLUS THE HAIR😂
Yes! Haha! Shirts and jackets that were oversized. A lot of black, neon and white going around in fashion...
looks so familiar.touching. old friends' homes.
One thing they don't mention: there were home computers, but they were very expensive ans many people didn't have them for awhile. Cell phones did t become really accessible and practical till the end of the decade.
HE SHOWED A COMPUTER. STILL CELL PHONES WERE IN THE 90S & I BELIEVE HE SAID THAT. I WORKED FOR AT&T. MY BIL HAD A CELL PHONE IN 1982
My first cell phone was in ‘94. It worked with AAA batteries and a retractable wire antenna.
Yeah ,you had to be rich to buy that brick phone .i didnt get a phone until about 2008
I was born in 1975 which makes me a latchkey kid of the 80’s . The 80’s will always be the best decade.
1:49 whosoever cd collection had some great taste in music!!
