  • The 1990s were a weird and wild time to be alive. The internet and personal computers were suddenly everywhere, jeans were ridiculously oversized, and there was a black market for cute floppy toys. But in all seriousness, the '90s were a great time to be young. From digital pocket pets to see-through devices, technology and pop culture came together to create some of the greatest distractions any kid could ever hope for. While it's hard to choose the best of the best from the decade that birthed the technological revolution, we've pulled together a list of '90s must-haves that were truly all that and a bag of chips. Without further ado, here are 20 things that every cool '90s kid couldn't live without.

    It must sound so ridiculous to kids now but literally going out to get a film to watch for the night was like an event in itself. Heading out with friends to go to Blockbuster where you'd debate and argue over what to get for the evening. Then grabbing some food and drinks on the way back and settling down and committed to watch what you just paid for. Such good times.

      Even though I was born in early 2005, I can totally relate. In my hometown there was a blockbuster up until 2013 and we went regularly to find some movies to watch. And even to this day, I'll go to the local library with friends to borrow some movies lol.

      The 90s were so cool I thought I grew up thinking I was born in the top era of humanity and things were going to be better and better in the future.
      Movies and actors were cool (Titanic, Pulp fiction, Matrix, etc.), music was not like the 80s one but still very cool, the world was an healthy place where to live and we had the right amount of technology (no social media on top of everything else).
      Also, nobody was obsessed with instant deliveries and instant everything as we are today.
      Life is more expensive, to be cool god knows what you need to do nowadays…going back and be stuck in there would be the best thing one could ask.

    It was fairly common to see Elementary school kids wearing Bart Simpson shirts, sometimes Middle School kids would wear them, but it wasn't something you would have seen the older students in Highschool wearing. That's not to say we didn't watch the show though because practically everyone watched it. It really wasn't until Family Guy came on in the early 00's when there was a real alternative in the adult cartoon genre.

    I'm surprised Talk Boy wasn't mentioned. It was popularized by the movie, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Now, my sister had one of these, before they made a more feminized version, Talk Girl. The 90s were very gender specific, but I think they should've made Talk Boy unisex. These days, instead of using these fancy tape recorders, kids can just make videos on their phones, and post content online.
    My sister and I never owned virtual pets. No, she wanted a REAL dog! I never knew why anyone would want digital pets, when real ones are so much nicer. She and her husband now have two of the best dogs ever! My niece loves them, too. I guess we weren't super obsessed with 90s pop culture. We didn't have the see-through phones, or the brightly colored Macs. It's just as well. They would've been too expensive, anyway.
    Also, who owned Tiny Toons or Animaniacs plushies? So cute!

    plaid is pronounced plad
    I only had a Yo-Yo Ball and barely used it.
    I loved the AOL sounds. It sounded so futuristic.
    I wanted a PlayStation because the controller was simpler than the N64's. I was addicted to Gran Turismo.
    We didn't trust Blockbuster or Hollywood Video. We had our own small business video store.

    I was born on January 10, 1980, and so I grew up in the 90s, and I always thought the 90s sucked. There was no social media in the 90s, there was no Netflix and streaming services in the 90s, internet worked like crap in the 90s, there was no smart phones in the 90s, not many good movies in the 90s, and video games are a lot better today than they were in the 90s.
