I bet people from the 70s and 80s were saying the same thing about the 90s, how about drop your expensive smartphone and all the electronic stuff you have in your house to live like in the 90s? I bet you wont right? ;)
And then once you find what you're in the mood for you had all your snacks to choose from by the counter. Those were always great Friday nights as a kid
As convenient as streaming is, it doesn't compare to Blockbuster with my parents to rent a movie and videogame imho. Being a kid in the 90s was awesome
@@alexhennigh5242 records, DVDs, CDs, real books and the like are nice stuff. Rather have them any day over streaming where stuff gets removed. Know several gen Xers and gen Zers that also love them over streaming services

I'm a big collector. I love the obscure ones, the ones that are no longer available and aren't streaming anywhere. Most music you can buy online, but I've got snowboarding DVDs from the early 2000s I can't watch anywhere else. They're hypnotic.
I'm same way. If you own the physical copy you can watch or listen to it when you want. Digital they can remove even if it was bought, I recall a game quite a bit of people bought year or 2 after release it disappeared from the stores on consoles and was removed from people's hard drives that bought it. Plus physical copies will never go completely out of style.

As a late 90s kid, I actually still had the pleasure to experience blockbuster, I remember my brother and I bike riding their to rent movies every Friday. 😭
Not just 90s, most of them were still prevalent in the 2000s too. These shows us the difference the technology has made in just 1 decade. Make me feel I am so old😆
Yes! Me and my friends who were teenagers in the early 00s used to record songs from the radio on cassette. Probably because it was cheaper than buying the whole CDs feel the artists.
I'm a 90's kid too and I still remember doing all these things. I still miss going to a videoclub to rent movies, record on VHS and using a real camera to take pictures 😉
Mapquest - yeah remember that one? Print out directions to where you were going and how to come back.. Though I do miss "skip the first few steps" from that feature on current directions apps/sites.
Although google maps is so much more convenient I do miss the nostalgia of reading the map out to my papa. I wish he could hear Siri tell him directions every 3 seconds… he would go crazyyy lol
Blockbuster's big mistake was it thought of itself as a company that rented video cassettes and, later, DVDs. If it had instead thought of itself as a company that delivered video to its clients regardless of the medium to do so, it would be alive today. Of course, then it would be called "Netflix." I would add music videos to the list. There was a time when MTV and VH1 were magical.
The 90s were the best years of my life. Probably going to miss 3 things from that time. Good Tv, video games, and movies. Now its just hard to enjoy these 3 things in this day and age. Politics in entertainment just sucks.

Exactly! I just went on vacation to Colorado Springs in May. The roads are terrible there, which took out the window regulator for the power windows.

We just lost our last video rental chain 2 years ago. Family Video. They might still have locations elsewhere but all the ones around me got bought up by Dollar General. They had more than 10 locations within driving range if I really wanted to see something. Losing the one by my childhood home broke my heart. I used to rent Nintendo 64's from them! 😢
Fun fact: Pay phones are still around but they’re only in dead zones (places with no cell phone reception). The Heriot Bay ferry terminal on Quadra Island, BC, Canada has one
Today is my birthday🎂and I am a proud 90s kids I was fortunate enough to have excess to every things mentioned in the video and yes 90s was so magical and I dearly missed everything about the Golden Era of Mankind Called The 90s🌈❤💯
Definitely remember and miss doing all of those. The only one I still do these days is use the phonebook which is still often better than using my local online directory.
Where I live, they don't make or deliver phone books anymore. I wish I could use one. I found it faster, and googling doesn't always give the result I need - like when I can't remember the specific name of a business.
@@drfreud65 I definitely agree , I'm glad they still make them where I live for those times when I can't remember the name of a business or don't know which one I might want to choose.
@@moleshaman3040 Sorry. I copied my son's homework assignment from an email and accidentally sent it in a reply. I guess I clicked on the screen one too many times. LOL
This is all well and good, but the one feeling I truly miss from my childhood is the Dec 23rd feeling. A school day with nothing but treats and movies. Knowing at 3:00pm you were free for a week or two with a beautiful Christmas Day within a day or two.
Actually a decent Watch Mojo list! - I don't know when to go to the bathroom anymore, since there's no more commercials. - You would get charged for not rewinding your tape when you returned it. There was actually a market for "Video Cassete Rewinders." Because rewinding them in your VCR could damage your VCR! 😂😂😂
Well-made video! The 1990's were my childhood years up to age 10. I'm 32 as of the day this video was posted. Although I like some of today's social media, cell phone features, digital cameras and other forms of modern technology we have now I definitely still miss the 90's.
okay seriously....im an 80s kid, 90s teen, 2000s young adult 20s, and 2010s 30s, and 2020s 40s gawd im old XD i still have mah old VCR and it still works XD
I was born in 1995… We had to use a disposable kodak camera. Only held a certain amount of snaps. You had to take it to a place to get the photos and finally see them. I remember cranking the window down as a kid in the early 00’s. I liked this because I could still crank the window down when the car was off. I remember in NYC when me and my mom were trying to contact my dad to get a ride. We had to run to a nearby payphone. I remember looking at a floppy disc like it was strange. & shoving it inside a computer not having much of an idea what it was supposed to do. I remember us having yellow pages in the apartment. I used to flip through it and play with the book. I remember having to blow out the N64 cartridge in the late 90’s. I always looked forward to the weekend & being able to rent video games from Blockbuster. I’m too young for cassette. Lmfao. Don’t remember much. Maybe tearing up the tape in the cassette and playing with it. Dial up internet… I remember having to get off aol when someone needed to use the phone. We never rewinded a VHS tape before returning it…
The 90's were fantastic, so many things emerged that have nostalgia going back to today, but there are things that only those who lived through the era will know how it was, it was the height of the decades.
I will miss Blockbuster. Had a lot of fun with watching various movies and tv shows from that store. It's thanks to that I was able to find, and get hooked on Robot Chicken.
Developing film that you forgot about was a hilarious experience...getting to rent a video game on a Friday was like a sacred pilgrimage. The 90's were the best time to be a kid for literally everything, music, movies, games, cartoons, shows. The last decade of innocence. A/S/L? Edit: I will one up you Mojo, calling someone back on a payphone after they paged you on your beeper.
I would have added dot matrix printers, store receipts with real ink, Discovery Zone, Beepers, Prepaid Phone Cards, Toy Prizes in Cereals (Remember Kaboom Cereal?), A stand-alone Arcade, using Channel 3 or 4 , TV dials for channels, TV Consoles (furniture looking TVs), Jello Pudding Pops, SNICK or TGIF, Cigarette Lighters in cars, Car Phones, Library Card Catalog, Cellphone Antennas, and finally Fruitopia.
2:15 naaah...I am from Germany, it is 12 August of 2021, and I saw someone use a pay phone yesterday, no Joke! We still have 3 standing around here in my City that really still work...
2018 in Melboune on vacations I still had to pay to use pay phone, but goddman it was a life saver at a train station, my cellphone was dead and I needed to call family to come and pick me up. So I am all for having some still around even if you have to pay, in my country they are practically extinct.
I miss home phones. I will never forget going to make a call and picking up a couple houses down conversation. Everything seemed so much brighter then and inviting. Everything is being “modernized” and sad looking. McDonald’s was fun. Our hospitals emergency room had a GameCube in it. It just seemed so much more of a zombie nation. We knew what people looked like cause there phones weren’t in their faces. I even remember people having a conversation with a human instead of a iphone.
@@imrytebeehyneu You’d call the beeper’s number and input a phone number for the recipient to call back. This was before caller ID was popular. I remember pranking my district manager by putting in a strip club’s number once.
Things i can't go back to those days. 1. Can't play outside the rain. 2. Cannot climb trees 3. Picking flowers, weeds, unedible berries/fruits/mushroom/pods and make belief cooking 4. Netting little fishies in the river and tadpoles.. Also cathing fireflies and dragonflies, and other bugs. 5. Crawl under the bed,sofas,cabinets Stuff like that back in childhood. Now we all gadget people.
Thanks, brought back some great memories from the 90s for me. I graduated high school in the late 90s. So, I am well aware of all of these memories. Believe it or not, I still have some mixtapes around here from recording all my favorite song from the radio. And yes, the announcer love to talk over the beginning of the songs. Much to my annoyance And, ugh, I had dial up when I first moved out on my own in the early 2000s. Thought I died and went to heaven when I got DSL for the first time. Yes, 256K. Please, don’t laugh too much lol. I still have a combination of tapes and DVDs. Some of my old movies recorded on camcorder I have from when I was growing up with my brother. Need to get them transferred into a digital format.
My fondest memories of Blockbuster in the 90s/00s was watching the latest movie playing on the tv, the sweet popcorn smell, and browsing the artwork on horror movie VHS covers while my parents were in the background giving me the “No… don’t even ask - you’re not renting them” glare 😂😂
I really miss dial-up AOL. Hanging out in chat rooms and talking with different people was just fun. Even the message boards were great. I miss it all 😭
The early 2000s were just 90s lite. I was born in 96, so I don't remember the 90s at all, but I've done all this stuff in my early childhood. It's my teenage years where things started to shift.
I remember when my dad use to call his brother but he couldn’t because his brothers son would be on the internet, my dad would say damn that kid he’s always on that damn internet. That always made me laugh lol
Lois Lane never figured out Clark Kent was Superman until pay phones and phone booths disappeared. Also, waiting for the TV rerun season to watch a show you missed.
*and when he took his glasses off! I was in love with Lois as it was played by the incredible and very tall Teri Hatcher back then in a huge CRT tv LOL* ⭐️
The last time I used a floppy disk was in 2004, when I was doing my GCSEs. I used it to store some of my coursework, and that was because we were out of CDs, IIRC, lol. I also came across the same floppy disk I used (courcework intact) a few years ago. Man, talk about a nostalgia trip!
@@ashniel5529 You morons know the narrator herself doesn't comprise the list, right? And I can guarantee that she did live through the 90s, if you losers bothered to do a little bit of research.
She kept saying things were annoying and not missed when most of the things were about people just being lazy, like just rewind your VHS and stop bringing it back late lmao
I can't imagine what that may be. I feel like every decade up until the 90s had many definable things that made the decade unique and different from the last. The music,television,movies the styles of hair and clothes people wore. I can't really think of much that stands out from the decades after the 90's that makes them different from the last. It almost feels to me like each decade just blended right into the next without much to differentiate it from the one that came before it.
@@drfreud65 I do live in the north and drive on icy roads. If you find yourself driving into a lake or river because of road conditions, you probably were driving carelessly.
@@goldfishprime Where I live, it's usually the people who don't know how to drive in it causing the accident that puts the seasoned driver into the drink. It happens often enough that the news reminds people how to drive in it every storm. They usually think they're invincible with their SUV and pass those driving at a sensible speed, which causes an accident.

Today is my birthday🎂and I am a proud 90s kids I was fortunate enough to have excess to every things mentioned in the video and yes 90s was so magical and I dearly missed everything about the Golden Era of Mankind Called The 90s🌈❤💯
Here the last phone booth was removed in 2015 and the last yellow pages was printed in 2016. Starting to feel old.
The 90's were awesome! Man this brought back nostalgia, and made me old in the process. 🤣
The 90s were some of the best years of my life especially with my dad before he died in 2001
Sorry for your loss 😢
Much love for all you fellow 90's babies out there.
Definitely remember and miss doing all of those. The only one I still do these days is use the phonebook which is still often better than using my local online directory.
You mean the one that wants to charge you to use. Never really figured how that works.
Htf this comment is 6 days before
Where I live, they don't make or deliver phone books anymore. I wish I could use one. I found it faster, and googling doesn't always give the result I need - like when I can't remember the specific name of a business.
@@drfreud65 I definitely agree , I'm glad they still make them where I live for those times when I can't remember the name of a business or don't know which one I might want to choose.
@@moleshaman3040 Sorry. I copied my son's homework assignment from an email and accidentally sent it in a reply. I guess I clicked on the screen one too many times. LOL
Anybody remember when rental stores would put the "Be Kind Please Rewind" sticker on video game cartridges? I always found that funny!
This is all well and good, but the one feeling I truly miss from my childhood is the Dec 23rd feeling. A school day with nothing but treats and movies. Knowing at 3:00pm you were free for a week or two with a beautiful Christmas Day within a day or two.
I miss those days working and being a adult sucks
Actually a decent Watch Mojo list!
- I don't know when to go to the bathroom anymore, since there's no more commercials.
- You would get charged for not rewinding your tape when you returned it. There was actually a market for "Video Cassete Rewinders." Because rewinding them in your VCR could damage your VCR! 😂😂😂
The 90s were an amazing and intriguing decade, I'm so happy that I was born in the 90s.
Same. last decade when music was wholesome
Well-made video! The 1990's were my childhood years up to age 10. I'm 32 as of the day this video was posted. Although I like some of today's social media, cell phone features, digital cameras and other forms of modern technology we have now I definitely still miss the 90's.
okay seriously....im an 80s kid, 90s teen, 2000s young adult 20s, and 2010s 30s, and 2020s 40s gawd im old XD i still have mah old VCR and it still works XD
Top loader or front ejector?
My VCR still works as well 80s baby,90s kid,in my 30s now
DAMN PEOPLE STILL USE VCRS UPDATES DAMN WOW 😝
@@alifuller1658 lol just came it works doesn't mean I use it. It just still works
80's kid here too. I have a vcr (front loader 😁) and still watch horror movies on VHS.
On an old magnavox console TV. 😂
I was born in 1995…
We had to use a disposable kodak camera.
Only held a certain amount of snaps. You had to take it to a place to get the photos and finally see them.
I remember cranking the window down as a kid in the early 00’s. I liked this because I could still crank the window down when the car was off.
I remember in NYC when me and my mom were trying to contact my dad to get a ride. We had to run to a nearby payphone.
I remember looking at a floppy disc like it was strange. & shoving it inside a computer not having much of an idea what it was supposed to do.
I remember us having yellow pages in the apartment. I used to flip through it and play with the book.
I remember having to blow out the N64 cartridge in the late 90’s.
I always looked forward to the weekend & being able to rent video games from Blockbuster.
I’m too young for cassette. Lmfao. Don’t remember much. Maybe tearing up the tape in the cassette and playing with it.
Dial up internet… I remember having to get off aol when someone needed to use the phone.
We never rewinded a VHS tape before returning it…
You know what else is awesome about 95?
The 90's were fantastic, so many things emerged that have nostalgia going back to today, but there are things that only those who lived through the era will know how it was, it was the height of the decades.
I was blessed to have the 90s as my childhood era. I’ll cherish those times forever
I will miss Blockbuster. Had a lot of fun with watching various movies and tv shows from that store. It's thanks to that I was able to find, and get hooked on Robot Chicken.
They actually did away with the “late fee” bullshit right before they went under.
*Talking and meeting people was fun too in video stores than being trapped in a dark house and a giant computer monitor*
Developing film that you forgot about was a hilarious experience...getting to rent a video game on a Friday was like a sacred pilgrimage. The 90's were the best time to be a kid for literally everything, music, movies, games, cartoons, shows. The last decade of innocence. A/S/L?
Edit: I will one up you Mojo, calling someone back on a payphone after they paged you on your beeper.
I remember all this stuff back then. The 90s was a simpler time back then. Nowadays, almost everything is easy to use nowadays.
Also back in the 90's people didn't have GPS's to getting places, when traveling, we all had paper maps.
With the huge boom of 80s culture in recent years. I have a feeling at least one of these will return just for the fun of it 😉
My guess would be video rental store, that would just be cool …
They do: it's called ' it's in the movies '..
I wouldn’t say no to Napster and Limewire again 😂
@@spectrumthevideogame7167 Music is free now though. Just got to watch a short add first most of the time though.
something i did in the 90s that i will never do again watch good NBA Basketball when NBA on NBC was on you know a Basketball game would be good
I would have added dot matrix printers, store receipts with real ink, Discovery Zone, Beepers, Prepaid Phone Cards, Toy Prizes in Cereals (Remember Kaboom Cereal?), A stand-alone Arcade, using Channel 3 or 4 , TV dials for channels, TV Consoles (furniture looking TVs), Jello Pudding Pops, SNICK or TGIF, Cigarette Lighters in cars, Car Phones, Library Card Catalog, Cellphone Antennas, and finally Fruitopia.
2:15 naaah...I am from Germany, it is 12 August of 2021, and I saw someone use a pay phone yesterday, no Joke! We still have 3 standing around here in my City that really still work...
So many great memories... I miss the 90's!
They left some pay phones in Sydney but removed the coin collecting box and made them all free call phones.
That's actually pretty cool. Our town used to have a payphone booth just for decoration but they removed it a few years ago.
2018 in Melboune on vacations I still had to pay to use pay phone, but goddman it was a life saver at a train station, my cellphone was dead and I needed to call family to come and pick me up. So I am all for having some still around even if you have to pay, in my country they are practically extinct.
Toronto still has pay phones..
I miss home phones. I will never forget going to make a call and picking up a couple houses down conversation. Everything seemed so much brighter then and inviting. Everything is being “modernized” and sad looking. McDonald’s was fun. Our hospitals emergency room had a GameCube in it. It just seemed so much more of a zombie nation. We knew what people looked like cause there phones weren’t in their faces. I even remember people having a conversation with a human instead of a iphone.
I remembered using a beeper and the hassle of calling an operator to relay your message or vice versa. Kinda awkward if it was something private haha
Hi Love from india🇮🇳
I remember seeing those in everybody's hips. What do they do anyway?
@@imrytebeehyneu basically it's just a reminder gadget. You recieve messages sent to you by phone operators. I think it was before phones went mobile.
@@kelemoy yeah. Today it's replaced by texting
@@imrytebeehyneu You’d call the beeper’s number and input a phone number for the recipient to call back. This was before caller ID was popular. I remember pranking my district manager by putting in a strip club’s number once.
I was always paranoid that pausing a VHS tape would stretch it. Now I feel like something will go wrong if I pause Netflix or a Blu-Ray.
I lived through the 90's. One thing I'll never do again is be in my 20's.
In the 90s the air was different. It's more difficult to breathe now.
Things i can't go back to those days.
1. Can't play outside the rain.
2. Cannot climb trees
3. Picking flowers, weeds, unedible berries/fruits/mushroom/pods and make belief cooking
4. Netting little fishies in the river and tadpoles.. Also cathing fireflies and dragonflies, and other bugs.
5. Crawl under the bed,sofas,cabinets
Stuff like that back in childhood. Now we all gadget people.
Thanks, brought back some great memories from the 90s for me. I graduated high school in the late 90s. So, I am well aware of all of these memories.
Believe it or not, I still have some mixtapes around here from recording all my favorite song from the radio. And yes, the announcer love to talk over the beginning of the songs. Much to my annoyance
And, ugh, I had dial up when I first moved out on my own in the early 2000s. Thought I died and went to heaven when I got DSL for the first time. Yes, 256K. Please, don’t laugh too much lol.
I still have a combination of tapes and DVDs. Some of my old movies recorded on camcorder I have from when I was growing up with my brother. Need to get them transferred into a digital format.
852: The only thing I loved as a kid is BlockBuster. I remember it so well, used to be in my home area. Along with McDonald’s, made my childhood
My fondest memories of Blockbuster in the 90s/00s was watching the latest movie playing on the tv, the sweet popcorn smell, and browsing the artwork on horror movie VHS covers while my parents were in the background giving me the “No… don’t even ask - you’re not renting them” glare 😂😂
I remember having the worst time loading film correctly in a 35mm camera. I was totally spoiled by the 110. 😂
Oh wow. A 110 out of a cereal box was my first ever camera. It started my way to professional photographer today.
@@RandornCanis I still use mine every now and then, for nostalgia. It's a Kodak my parents bought in the 60's when they went to the Grand Canyon. Lol
I was a kid of the 1980s and this video is relevant for me as well.
*GOOD BYE DIAL-UP* _thank gawd_
people growing up nowadays don't even know what 14.4, 28.8, 33.6, etc. mean...lucky.
I really miss dial-up AOL. Hanging out in chat rooms and talking with different people was just fun. Even the message boards were great. I miss it all 😭
The early 2000s were just 90s lite. I was born in 96, so I don't remember the 90s at all, but I've done all this stuff in my early childhood.
It's my teenage years where things started to shift.
EXACTLY same here
Born in ‘87… and even though the early 2000s were similar to the 90s, the 90s were better. For the most part, anyway
I live in the 90's and experienced a bit
@@nsasupporter7557 Facts!
I remember when my dad use to call his brother but he couldn’t because his brothers son would be on the internet, my dad would say damn that kid he’s always on that damn internet. That always made me laugh lol
I miss going to Blockbuster. It was super fun
Me too but there is still one left in the world.
Me too
Top 10 reasons why i miss the 90s and i cry every time
Lois Lane never figured out Clark Kent was Superman until pay phones and phone booths disappeared. Also, waiting for the TV rerun season to watch a show you missed.
Usually seven whole days, for the next episode. Also, if you didn't tape it, too bad.
*and when he took his glasses off! I was in love with Lois as it was played by the incredible and very tall Teri Hatcher back then in a huge CRT tv LOL* ⭐️
I love the 90’s. Proud to be born in 1991. And yes, I knew the difference between white and yellow pages.
For what it's worth, a DSL modem and router is an odd image to show when you're talking about a dial-up modem.
The last time I used a floppy disk was in 2004, when I was doing my GCSEs. I used it to store some of my coursework, and that was because we were out of CDs, IIRC, lol.
I also came across the same floppy disk I used (courcework intact) a few years ago. Man, talk about a nostalgia trip!
Buying batteries for the Game Boy is one thing from the 90s I won’t be doing ever again now.
*But it was fun right? Jumping from store to store*
@@afriend9428 True.
Ah how I miss my childhood in the 90's
"Not use dial up internet," shows a DSL modem.
Was wondering the same... Too hard to find pictures of 56k modems? :D
*Dreamcasts In Europe had stinky slow 33.3 k modems! LOL* 👎
I miss the old days and have a blessed day
What about TV programmes schedule being available only on paper, in magazines to be paid for?
TV Guide
Or, when TV GUIDE actually told you what was on every station all day (as did the newspaper listings)
I wish that dial-up internet, floppy discs and phone books all existed in the 2020's.
I don’t think this narrator or whomever wrote the “script” actually lived during the 90s
Sooo true, the list is garbage
@@ashniel5529 You morons know the narrator herself doesn't comprise the list, right? And I can guarantee that she did live through the 90s, if you losers bothered to do a little bit of research.
@@newthrash1221 my main take away is that the list wasn't researched to compare then to now. That's all..
She kept saying things were annoying and not missed when most of the things were about people just being lazy, like just rewind your VHS and stop bringing it back late lmao
Remember all these things so well, that’s why it makes me so nostalgic, in Keane’s words, it’s somewhere only I know
More of an Eighties (rather than Nineties) thing but: renting a VCR at the movie rental store to watch the videos.
I remember renting a sega genesis 😆
@@vixen4327 Yeah, that too!
i truly miss the 90s!!!
Give $10 to the gas station cashier and after filling up my car going back for my change.
I remember doing most of this stuff when I was a kid in the 90’s. Gosh I feel old.
Can’t wait for the things from the 2020s that we’ll never do again to become a reality.
Well, I guess if you're still around in the 2050s, you'll get to experience it :-P
Yeah like not having to wear masks, social distance, or carry around a vaccination passport.
@@erikthompson619 pretty sure the 2030s and the 2040s come before the 2050s.
@@jeffb.6642 bingo!
I can't imagine what that may be. I feel like every decade up until the 90s had many definable things that made the decade unique and different from the last. The music,television,movies the styles of hair and clothes people wore. I can't really think of much that stands out from the decades after the 90's that makes them different from the last. It almost feels to me like each decade just blended right into the next without much to differentiate it from the one that came before it.
I remember getting the occasional "Be Kind Rewind" sticker on video games that I rented, lol
The 90s. We shall never see his like again.
It is still good to have a window crank if you ever get submerged. Just my opinion .
If being submerged is a possibility, probably should stay off the roads.
@@goldfishprime You've never lived in the north, where roads can get icy, and it shows.
@@drfreud65 I do live in the north and drive on icy roads. If you find yourself driving into a lake or river because of road conditions, you probably were driving carelessly.
@@goldfishprime Where I live, it's usually the people who don't know how to drive in it causing the accident that puts the seasoned driver into the drink. It happens often enough that the news reminds people how to drive in it every storm. They usually think they're invincible with their SUV and pass those driving at a sensible speed, which causes an accident.
*loved Windows 95 and XP*
I haven't even watched the video yet and it's already got me depressed and longing for my childhood.
