The 90's? A mere trifle! I have heard of a much farther away age, known only by ancient historians long past as the 80's. Ancient devices known as Rubik Cube, Pac-Mens, and AR-cades.
Someone once told me that people from the 2000's would sometimes wear jackets made out of the same material as their jeans. I'm glad we've made it out of those dark ages.
I remember the dial up age. My house felt magical because we had two landlines - so we could browse the internet and make phone calls AT THE SAME TIME! My friends thought it was wild when I would first show them lol....goddamn I feel old now.
We had three phone lines. On for the house, one for the net and my sister had her own. At one point I figured out how to bond all three lines for faster internet
I remember my brother, a mechanic, had some part he needed for a car he was fixing but none of the dealers had it, so I hopped online and went to a BBS and _only a day later_ found a place in Texas that he could order from. It almost literally blew his mind, he spent about the next week going through this existential crisis that all of his knowledge was about to be outmoded by our fantastic hacker wizardry, lol.
I remember when my stepdad got a second line for our house and thinking he was some kind of a wizard when he called someone and it didn't kick me off the net.
Ah the 90s I lost one of my legs when I tried saving my Tamagotchi after I dropped it from getting my JNCO jeans caught on something during the N'Sync riots
This is actually how it feels to be a teacher. I honestly had a student say "I didn't know you were that old" when he learned that was already an adult in 2008.
Ha ha right, when I got my first cell phone I dropped it playing basketball, then stepped on it, then accidentally dropped it in the river. After it dried out, it was perfectly fine. The screen wasn't even cracked, I was playing snake on it that night lmao. Those things were practically indestructible.
Well, technically late nineties were about 20 years ago and even early nineties were 29 years ago max. I was born in 1990 and I'm not 30 yet. How dare you make me feel older than I am :D
vsgfilmgroup: I remember it well as I was in the assault on my towns local movie rental stores trying to hold off the advertising army’s of Blockbuster I remember being pined down in the parking lot holding my prized vhs of rocky 2 with the film spilling out of his cracked plastic casing and him whispering “The horror”
@@thesocialgracesofanangrybe7446 I saw how much Red Box rental costs a day and the local video store which is no longer around had the same price as Red Box but your rental time was three whole days not a whole 24 hours.
I feel like you had to be born in the late 80s to be a full-fledged 90s kid. I was born at the beginning of the 90s and only some of this stuff was relevant to my experience.
I was born in 99 and so i can barely be called a 90s kid since it was practically over, but some of the fads were still alive and so i got to see and experience them before they all finally died
I remember having to keep a quarter in my pocket in case I needed to find the nearest payphone and make a call. Also, the 90’s taught me the value of using a pencil or pen to place into the grooves of a cassette tape to rewind it to save battery life. LOL!
This is an accurate depiction of that long forgotten era. Long ago, I too partook of the great ritual of "dial up" to summon the entity known as the "world wide web." It took many days, and if one erred from the rights of purity they were punished with the dreaded blue screen of death.
It has gotten to the point where if I see Brennan in tbe thumbnail, I'll just click whatever it is. He is the best thing to happen to Collegehumor since forever
There’s a difference between being born in the 90,s and being born in the 80’s so you where old enough to remember the 90’s. Most kids that claim to be a 90’s kid is now 23 and was in diapers for the short time they spennin the 90’s
I was born in 77...I do not recall the 90s like that at all..where are the PlayStation, and N64s? LA riots? Grunge music, Gangsta Rap? It was the best time to be a teenager
Sit down children, and hear a frightening tale! A tale of an age when research was done in a strange and magical place called the "Library", or using a collection of "books" called an "encyclopedia"! An age when your phone didn't remember your friends' phone numbers, and so you had to memorize them, or else write them down in a little book you kept in your wallet or purse! And perhaps strangest of all, a time when, should you wish to see the new episode of a show but were unable to watch it as it aired, you had to either set up a timed recording with a "VCR", or else wait until the summer for something called "reruns". Truly a most primitive era, one we are thankful to have escaped alive.
It was always such a downer when you'd schedule your VCR and you got the time wrong from the tv guide, they rescheduled it or the time on your VCR was wrong. It was like RIP, gotta wait till reruns.
Sad to say it but the 90's where that stereotypical but still it's sad to see the age of Walkmans, grunge music, game boys, 90's sitcoms, & vhs's pass through time ⏳
I have to respectfully disagree with you Hyper Star. 90's gaming, anime, cartoons, Pokemon Cards, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and Beyblade spinning battle tops, Mcdonalds and their awesome glass ware for movies back then as well as their toys, Disney masterpiece movies such The Lion King and Hercules are great in my opinion. Good 90's movies as well in my opinion. Slime time live on Nickelodeon was great too. Blockbuster and Hollywood video was great too.
Oh how I miss the techno-brick of the pixel generating Gameboy, those were true entertaining systems, now everything is just an offspring between computers and true phones. We had to use a completely different device to access the early internet, now it’s everywhere, making everything what I truly hate more than anything, a commoner. Nothing is unique in its own way anymore. Why isn’t that massive wide back furniture wannabe TV in this? Anyone know what I’m talking about?
The 90s where nowhere near that stereotypical.....good lord. NOTHING in the history of time was ever that stereotypical. The only accurate things were the boy bands (who were WIDELY hated by everyone who wasn't a 13 year old girl....which is still true today of the modern version), and the phone lines and to some extent the beepers. I NEVER saw anyone walking around with a car phone style cell phone (the one used in the video) and i graduated high school in 2000 in a fairly middle class area. That's compete BS. and the clothes? seriously? People REALLY think people used to dress like that? Like normal not having social issues people? I get it, it's a joke. But There is almost nothing accurate about this video.
jdzspace33 I also graduated high school in 2000. My parents had a similar Motorola phone in the very early 90s. I hate to say this but the 90s were very much that stereotypical. The modem And the phone thing is 100% accurate. Pagers were a hit for the teens/adults in the 90s. Had the best boy bands. And calling into tv shows to vote or win contests were 100% happening. I can understand why you don’t remember the phones though. Being what I’d say is 32/33 now, in the early 90s, those phones, or any phones weren’t popular because of the price, man they were expensive, plus, not being over exposed to them, you often didn’t subconsciously focus on them or pay attention to them. You were probably playing outside or eating clay, because that was the best options we had.
I remember the nineties like they were yesterday! That was when Bill Gates came by in his zeppelin, dropping shares of stock on the crowd. I come out with my washtub, which I had just used to wash my turkey, which back then was called a "Walking Bird". Every year, we'd have Walking Bird for Thanksgiving, which back then was called "Arbor Day". We'd have it with all the trimmings: cranberries, Injun eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder, and of course, 3D Doritos. Then we'd all gather around and watch football, which back then was called "golf." I remember the big golf match of nineteen-flabberty-seven. We had to say "flabberty" because Saddam Hussein had stolen our word "ninety" for the better part of two years until we got it back after President Clinton challenged him to a game of Texas Hold 'Em, or as you call it today, "Croquet."
Those were simpler times. When young maidens could be seen laboring over a piping hot easy bake oven. Many a weary soul drowning their sorrow filled memories of a fallen Tamagotchi out with a Pepsi Blue. The pitter patter of moon shoes can be heard ascending the aggro'est of crags. Where only those who have it... The guts can find VHS's containing secret messages of old. Such as "it's 10p.m do you know where your children are?" A time when hours of meditation by HITclips led you to the one true question of life. Is the kid from smart guy related Tia and Tamara? All the while spirit animals waged war amongst each other for the countless blue barracuda and purple parrots remain hidden in it's temples. The temples beauty matched only by the mansions of Bel-Air. A time where only Clarissa could explain where in the world Carmen SanDiego was. A time when wise men sought the council of Texas Instrument graphing calculators to devise that if one wanted to be ones lover, you have to get with ones friends. For once thou last forever, the friendship never ends.
I work at a school and used yoink. The kids liked it but then I realized that they were using it all wrong. First time I feel ancient, and I'm in my early 30s
Kids don’t know how rad the 90’s really were. Having a Pizza Lunchable at school made you one of the coolest kids at lunch. Trading Pokemon cards was a daily transaction in the bathroom for almost every boy. During recess we played on blacktops and had real wood playgrounds. Getting home you would turning on the cable box flipping to the channel you wanted, and yes it really most likely was TRL, all the while you could watch the 8 foot satellite dish actually moving to acquire the signal. If you got tired of TRL you could watch bomb ass Nicktoons, Double Dare or any of the other Nick shows. (Side note: I was especially fond of waking up early on Saturdays and watching the Kids WB programing that was on at 6am.) After watching for a hour or so and finishing your homework you would turn on you Windows 95 or 98, if your parents where cool, computer and log into AOL. You’d go onto chat rooms where EVERYONE had the most ridiculous screen names. If that wasn’t your thing, you played out side. Yes, like where the sun and birds are. You’d build stupid sketchy ramps and launch yourself off them on your Mongoose BMX bike or your Bird House skate board. If you were really lucky you had a friend with a REAL treehouse and you ether played in it or someone snuck a page from their dads Playboy. You could actually stay out pretty late because parents in the 90’s weren’t over protective like parents today. Ill be turning 28 soon and there are so many days i wish i could live it all again.
Kids were still "free range" back in the 90s where you lived? Because for me the 90s was when the era of B.S. "stranger danger" fear started. Neither myself or anyone I knew in elementary school was ever let out alone even on weekends. None of them ever met up outside of school. This was even though the majority of them lived in the safe, sedate suburbs. This was in CANADA, even, so there was little or no risk of guns.
!? Yeah we were. I lived in a small town in Colorado called Elizabeth. I was always outside by myself. Id ride my bike for miles around the dirt roads we lived on. When it rained we would go into out neighbors yard that flooded on the bottom of their hill and collect tadpoles and salamanders.
@@gimmpy91 Haha, I feel jealous! 😀 Seriously though, sounds great. Like I think the reason many millenials and Gen Z people are so immature for their age is because there were & are too many exaggerated reports on the news of pedophiles and gangsters going around hunting down children, which means many kids don't get the chance to develop social skills and learn life lessons thru free range play
The 90s was a strange decade... Most 90s action films were god damn dumb, but then we also got The Matrix, Jurassic Park and Pulp Fiction. 90s comedy was mostly directionless and witless, but then we also got The Big Lebowski, Groundhog Day and Being John Malkovich. Music? Don't get me started: Nsync and Backstreet Boys may seem charming and quaint now, but imagine a hellscape where they and thousands of imitators dominated the airwaves. Yet in the same decade we got Nirvana, Biggie Smalls, Nas and Pavement. 90s art seemed to either be corny and boring or so unimaginably groundbreaking it defied comprehension. In hindsight, it wasn't a bad time to be alive.
@@Lordrevolution77 True, but I feel the 90s took it the extreme. There was far more good music in the 50s, 60s and 70s, and cinema has definitely been more consistent in the 2000s and 2010s.
It was cool man. Nobody had their face buried in social media. Communication with people was direct. You had to call someone's house talk to their mom before talking to them and scheduling a play date. Things seemed more active. Video games were split screen. Nobody had a cellphone. As a kid we would ride bikes around the neighborhood until it got dark. The Music was 100 times better. Rock, hip hop almost every genre was better except country lol. People weren't so god damn Political. Nobody cared who the President was. There was no major war the US was involved in. I grew up in the 90s. I am 30 now and my Generation has turned to shit.
Like.... in a hundred years this could actually be a real thing. It's kinda fun to think about future generations learning about our current lives when we ourselves and our bodies become history.
Never been to Disney World? Or maybe Henry Ford Museum? My dad sees cars he helped assemble, and my mom sees furniture she used to have. If they haven't done this for the 90s yet, wait maybe 1 more decade.
Makes me think of The Time Machine from Idiocracy, then I wonder what details they'll get wrong in their museums, which in turn makes me wonder what details we're getting wrong in modern museums...
@@icefrout it's not that, it's that things changed so quickly, technology started with brick phones and ended with flip phones and the very first smart phones. It's was a totally unique time to be a kid. SNES blew our minds! Then N64 blew our minds! PlayStation as well. And the internet finally became a "thing" during our youth. The world changed so rapidly, it was something future generations will never experience. Sure, the world is always changing, but those days were like none ever before, and possibly ever again.
I printed some map quest directions once and they were bad... so I drove around town for about an hour but I couldn't find it. I had to go home. I didn't have a cell phone to call anyone. I drove almost all the way there, then back. Easily 3 hours. What a world.
I work at a technology museum and this is exactly how I feel whenever secondary school groups visit us. Minus the compulsory "Behold this item ye youngsters! It was called a floppy disc and althought it might seem a strange contraption, you use its image everyday in your mobile devices!"
@@henrybuchanan6613 It depends on the object. In most states, I believe, 20 years would be old enough to classify a car as an antique, though I believe some places it is possibly higher than 20.
@@TheGingerHipster and for everything else it is 100 years. The only other items that MIGHT be considered antiques after 20 years are electronics. Vintage or even retro is a more appropriate term for younger items.
I worked at a historical site last summer, set in the mid 1800s, and this has made me realize that this is probably the exact reaction to us that an actual victorian would have had if time travelled to our fake village
cool fact about this decade, the 90s is believed to be the last era that a whole generation will grow up having had such similar experiences in all forms of media/entrainment. - Times have changed, n sure there may be some large trends kids at a certain age follow but not everyone will opt to take interest & trends pass much faster these days too. You can look for something else easily as well as new peer groups via streaming apps n social media etc. meaning as we become connected we are becoming disjointed. Basically its sad its gone but expect to see 90s influenced things everywhere over the next decade or so as 90s kids who are now in their 30s are in the current industries that are driving new trends as we speak Edit: typo
This was great as someone who lived through the 90s. And little known thing about modems back then.... You could turn off the speaker. Most of them you had to do it via the settings and it was buried. I think some had a switch on them. I have no clue why the speaker wasn't tuned off by default.
I grew up in the 90s but never had a beeper because I thought the technology was to advanced for and I couldn't figure out how it worked. i know have a computer in my pocket
Man, the 1990’s were cool. I still like to live in the past since I’m scared of the future, so I collect loads of retro technology and therefore I still actively use floppy discs and tapes and I sure wish I had a lasrerdisc, they’re awesome.
Like... Brennan had a mobile phone right there. They could genuinely do both at the same time. They didn't need to use the landline to return the call... And I also lived through the 90s so yay! Old!

yep. I was born in 1988.. straight up real talk I'm a 90s kid.
Then you’re a 90’s baby, not a 90’s kid. Actual 90’s kids are 80’s babies because we clearly remember the whole decade.
Does that make me a ‘10s kid?
I think we need to start saying "I'm merely clowning on you"
Oh yeah

...again. We used to say it all the time.
Again?
“Be chill. Young homie.”
"I am merely clowning on you"
lot's of people used "chill" like "chill out" as in calm down but "homie" was straight rap scene.

I remember having to keep a quarter in my pocket in case I needed to find the nearest payphone and make a call. Also, the 90’s taught me the value of using a pencil or pen to place into the grooves of a cassette tape to rewind it to save battery life. LOL!
Sandman I tried to use a pay phone (there are still some random ones here and there) and it didn’t work. Sad that that era is gone.
Now its for aldi
This is an accurate depiction of that long forgotten era. Long ago, I too partook of the great ritual of "dial up" to summon the entity known as the "world wide web." It took many days, and if one erred from the rights of purity they were punished with the dreaded blue screen of death.
I feel like the 2010’s are gonna be this archaic one day.

There’s a difference between being born in the 90,s and being born in the 80’s so you where old enough to remember the 90’s. Most kids that claim to be a 90’s kid is now 23 and was in diapers for the short time they spennin the 90’s
I was born in 77...I do not recall the 90s like that at all..where are the PlayStation, and N64s? LA riots? Grunge music, Gangsta Rap? It was the best time to be a teenager

Sit down children, and hear a frightening tale! A tale of an age when research was done in a strange and magical place called the "Library", or using a collection of "books" called an "encyclopedia"! An age when your phone didn't remember your friends' phone numbers, and so you had to memorize them, or else write them down in a little book you kept in your wallet or purse! And perhaps strangest of all, a time when, should you wish to see the new episode of a show but were unable to watch it as it aired, you had to either set up a timed recording with a "VCR", or else wait until the summer for something called "reruns".
Truly a most primitive era, one we are thankful to have escaped alive.
It was always such a downer when you'd schedule your VCR and you got the time wrong from the tv guide, they rescheduled it or the time on your VCR was wrong. It was like RIP, gotta wait till reruns.
wait omg wut r "books"
Or recorded a random show because you messed up the time slot. But you watched it anyway because you didn't want to admit you messed up.
@@Cosmicmembersolutions "What're you talking about? I wanted to record will & grace, I didn't want to record friends."
False! No one could actually figure out how to set up a VCR to record.

@@fritolaid6805 born in '81. Called the Nintendo Hotline. Dad almost murdered me. No regrets.
I made 100$ phone bill just from texting in 2000. Shit was expensive then. And I was young and dumb.
Pay by the minute with early AOL. Oh and Cell phone bills would give them a heart attack
My phone bill was over $700 just for using AOL. My mom was so mad.
Sad to say it but the 90's where that stereotypical but still it's sad to see the age of Walkmans, grunge music, game boys, 90's sitcoms, & vhs's pass through time ⏳
I have to respectfully disagree with you Hyper Star. 90's gaming, anime, cartoons, Pokemon Cards, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and Beyblade spinning battle tops, Mcdonalds and their awesome glass ware for movies back then as well as their toys, Disney masterpiece movies such The Lion King and Hercules are great in my opinion. Good 90's movies as well in my opinion. Slime time live on Nickelodeon was great too. Blockbuster and Hollywood video was great too.
People still remember the stuff from the 90's and have huge nostalgia over it. It's not forgotten.
Oh how I miss the techno-brick of the pixel generating Gameboy, those were true entertaining systems, now everything is just an offspring between computers and true phones. We had to use a completely different device to access the early internet, now it’s everywhere, making everything what I truly hate more than anything, a commoner. Nothing is unique in its own way anymore. Why isn’t that massive wide back furniture wannabe TV in this? Anyone know what I’m talking about?
The 90s where nowhere near that stereotypical.....good lord. NOTHING in the history of time was ever that stereotypical. The only accurate things were the boy bands (who were WIDELY hated by everyone who wasn't a 13 year old girl....which is still true today of the modern version), and the phone lines and to some extent the beepers. I NEVER saw anyone walking around with a car phone style cell phone (the one used in the video) and i graduated high school in 2000 in a fairly middle class area. That's compete BS. and the clothes? seriously? People REALLY think people used to dress like that? Like normal not having social issues people? I get it, it's a joke. But There is almost nothing accurate about this video.
jdzspace33 I also graduated high school in 2000. My parents had a similar Motorola phone in the very early 90s. I hate to say this but the 90s were very much that stereotypical. The modem
And the phone thing is 100% accurate. Pagers were a hit for the teens/adults in the 90s. Had the best boy bands. And calling into tv shows to vote or win contests were 100% happening. I can understand why you don’t remember the phones though. Being what I’d say is 32/33 now, in the early 90s, those phones, or any phones weren’t popular because of the price, man they were expensive, plus, not being over exposed to them, you often didn’t subconsciously focus on them or pay attention to them. You were probably playing outside or eating clay, because that was the best options we had.
Brennan saying things like "forsooth" cracked me up so much. He would say that in the 90s. Nobody else would, but he would. Historically accurate.
Explaining that we couldn’t use the phone and the internet at the same time to my 12 year old niece made her look at me in shock.
I remember the nineties like they were yesterday! That was when Bill Gates came by in his zeppelin, dropping shares of stock on the crowd. I come out with my washtub, which I had just used to wash my turkey, which back then was called a "Walking Bird". Every year, we'd have Walking Bird for Thanksgiving, which back then was called "Arbor Day". We'd have it with all the trimmings: cranberries, Injun eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder, and of course, 3D Doritos. Then we'd all gather around and watch football, which back then was called "golf." I remember the big golf match of nineteen-flabberty-seven. We had to say "flabberty" because Saddam Hussein had stolen our word "ninety" for the better part of two years until we got it back after President Clinton challenged him to a game of Texas Hold 'Em, or as you call it today, "Croquet."
Those were simpler times. When young maidens could be seen laboring over a piping hot easy bake oven. Many a weary soul drowning their sorrow filled memories of a fallen Tamagotchi out with a Pepsi Blue. The pitter patter of moon shoes can be heard ascending the aggro'est of crags. Where only those who have it... The guts can find VHS's containing secret messages of old. Such as "it's 10p.m do you know where your children are?" A time when hours of meditation by HITclips led you to the one true question of life. Is the kid from smart guy related Tia and Tamara? All the while spirit animals waged war amongst each other for the countless blue barracuda and purple parrots remain hidden in it's temples. The temples beauty matched only by the mansions of Bel-Air. A time where only Clarissa could explain where in the world Carmen SanDiego was. A time when wise men sought the council of Texas Instrument graphing calculators to devise that if one wanted to be ones lover, you have to get with ones friends. For once thou last forever, the friendship never ends.

Welcome back to the times of the SNES and the Genesis, Jurassic Park, Neons, Beepers, and AOL
Kids don’t know how rad the 90’s really were. Having a Pizza Lunchable at school made you one of the coolest kids at lunch. Trading Pokemon cards was a daily transaction in the bathroom for almost every boy. During recess we played on blacktops and had real wood playgrounds. Getting home you would turning on the cable box flipping to the channel you wanted, and yes it really most likely was TRL, all the while you could watch the 8 foot satellite dish actually moving to acquire the signal. If you got tired of TRL you could watch bomb ass Nicktoons, Double Dare or any of the other Nick shows. (Side note: I was especially fond of waking up early on Saturdays and watching the Kids WB programing that was on at 6am.) After watching for a hour or so and finishing your homework you would turn on you Windows 95 or 98, if your parents where cool, computer and log into AOL. You’d go onto chat rooms where EVERYONE had the most ridiculous screen names. If that wasn’t your thing, you played out side. Yes, like where the sun and birds are. You’d build stupid sketchy ramps and launch yourself off them on your Mongoose BMX bike or your Bird House skate board. If you were really lucky you had a friend with a REAL treehouse and you ether played in it or someone snuck a page from their dads Playboy. You could actually stay out pretty late because parents in the 90’s weren’t over protective like parents today. Ill be turning 28 soon and there are so many days i wish i could live it all again.
Kids were still "free range" back in the 90s where you lived? Because for me the 90s was when the era of B.S. "stranger danger" fear started. Neither myself or anyone I knew in elementary school was ever let out alone even on weekends. None of them ever met up outside of school. This was even though the majority of them lived in the safe, sedate suburbs. This was in CANADA, even, so there was little or no risk of guns.
I'm An Early 2000's Kid But I Relate To Almost All Of This
!? Yeah we were. I lived in a small town in Colorado called Elizabeth. I was always outside by myself. Id ride my bike for miles around the dirt roads we lived on. When it rained we would go into out neighbors yard that flooded on the bottom of their hill and collect tadpoles and salamanders.
@@gimmpy91 Haha, I feel jealous! 😀 Seriously though, sounds great. Like I think the reason many millenials and Gen Z people are so immature for their age is because there were & are too many exaggerated reports on the news of pedophiles and gangsters going around hunting down children, which means many kids don't get the chance to develop social skills and learn life lessons thru free range play
!? I agree!
This makes me both proud to have been alive in the 90s, and happy to be too young to remember most of it.

The 90s was a strange decade... Most 90s action films were god damn dumb, but then we also got The Matrix, Jurassic Park and Pulp Fiction. 90s comedy was mostly directionless and witless, but then we also got The Big Lebowski, Groundhog Day and Being John Malkovich. Music? Don't get me started: Nsync and Backstreet Boys may seem charming and quaint now, but imagine a hellscape where they and thousands of imitators dominated the airwaves. Yet in the same decade we got Nirvana, Biggie Smalls, Nas and Pavement. 90s art seemed to either be corny and boring or so unimaginably groundbreaking it defied comprehension. In hindsight, it wasn't a bad time to be alive.
You can say the same thing about any decade ya mook
@@Lordrevolution77 too true, remember how ridiculous all those 1670 movies were? Haha so weird!
@@Lordrevolution77 True, but I feel the 90s took it the extreme. There was far more good music in the 50s, 60s and 70s, and cinema has definitely been more consistent in the 2000s and 2010s.

It was cool man. Nobody had their face buried in social media. Communication with people was direct. You had to call someone's house talk to their mom before talking to them and scheduling a play date. Things seemed more active. Video games were split screen. Nobody had a cellphone. As a kid we would ride bikes around the neighborhood until it got dark. The Music was 100 times better. Rock, hip hop almost every genre was better except country lol. People weren't so god damn Political. Nobody cared who the President was. There was no major war the US was involved in.

@@icefrout it's not that, it's that things changed so quickly, technology started with brick phones and ended with flip phones and the very first smart phones. It's was a totally unique time to be a kid. SNES blew our minds! Then N64 blew our minds! PlayStation as well. And the internet finally became a "thing" during our youth. The world changed so rapidly, it was something future generations will never experience. Sure, the world is always changing, but those days were like none ever before, and possibly ever again.

cool fact about this decade, the 90s is believed to be the last era that a whole generation will grow up having had such similar experiences in all forms of media/entrainment. - Times have changed, n sure there may be some large trends kids at a certain age follow but not everyone will opt to take interest & trends pass much faster these days too. You can look for something else easily as well as new peer groups via streaming apps n social media etc. meaning as we become connected we are becoming disjointed. Basically its sad its gone but expect to see 90s influenced things everywhere over the next decade or so as 90s kids who are now in their 30s are in the current industries that are driving new trends as we speak
