@ Believe it or not, I always liked that sound and I kinda miss it. K, I’m weird but it brings back good memories. I also loved Bugdom that came with the computer.
I was searching just online for a background to add to a Christmas card for free - simple snowy scene. Even that is almost non-existent these days. Everything is either pay a subscription, pay for the image, or it's free but it requires you to put a credit. Which I get, but last time I did something like that there were still quite a few free-no-license images out there.
Oh wow, thanks for leading me down memory lane, Miss Mojo. I can't help but feel like those were much simpler times. Don't get me wrong, I love how much the world has advanced but the nostalgia for those days kicks my butt everytime. 😭
'94 baby here. We went to Blockbuster every Friday or Saturday night, as there was one five blocks from our house, starting in 2001, when we moved to said house, as it was bigger. My stepdad loved taking me, because I made a decision in under 10 minutes. However, my younger brother would sometimes take 30 minutes to 1 hour to pick a game, and my stepdad would take out his old flip phone and call up my mom to tell her what was keeping us. Memories...
@@trinaqI forgot to mention Blockbuster as I went there a lot as a kid. I heard the voiceover guy died in the late 2000s. The guy’s name is Don LaFontaine.
As an 80's baby that grew up in the 90's, I remember ALL of these things. God, I miss everything about the 90's. If you didn't get to experience the 90's, you missed out and to those that did... It was an amazing time to be alive in, wasn't it? OH MAN! Being a kid in the 90's was F'n amazing! No social media, just straight up fun times outside, all day everyday until the it got dark and even then. Capturing every moment in deposable and polaroid cameras. Man, I'm getting teary eyed just talking about it. I still have my POGS and slammers, LOL. I recently had this conversation with my daughter and it was pretty cool. I will always remember "It's 10 o'clock, do you know where your kids are?" LOL! To all of you that grew up in the 90's... I salute you guys and I hope y'all are kicking ass in life! 🫡
What you just said, plus the quarter in your pocket for the pay phone, those cool lunch boxes in elementary school and don’t forget catching fireflies in jars!
Grunge scene, SNES, N64, Game Boy Color, Alternative Rock, Fox Kids, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Page&Plant, Michael Jackson, Blockbuster, Toys R Us, Walkman and more
One thing I miss about that is running into a friend at the video store and chatting for about half an hour before you go home to watch the movie you just rented.
Hah, I was in front of VGA CRT monitors for 15 years, and I didn't start needing glasses till last year, around the same time I got a company issued Macbook ;)
I clearly remember Y2K! I was 19. I was born in 1980, so I remember a lot of these '90's trends! And, I remember doing some of my schoolwork (I was homeschooled) on that teal Mac computer like the one shown at 12:20. 😂
I bought a mini disc in the 80’s but I just played it on my regular cd player. There was a computer you forgot in the 90’s. It was called an ICON and was used by educational professionals. They had them in my computer lab in university but I never saw them in use. I was in university in the 90’s and didn’t have access to the same cable channels that I had at home so my mum would tape the shows I liked and mail them to me. My floor mates would came and ask when the new tapes were coming and there would be a stampede to my room when the new tapes arrived
17 of 20 I never used. I guess I can see why they died, I consider myself an average person. If I didn't like it or use it, no wonder it died. The three that I used, Dial up, large computer monitors, and video rental. Nothing else on this list was part of my world.
Certain BIOS systems were not Y2K compliant and would boot up into the year 1900 after the rollover, requiring manual date correction on every boot. (probably one of the reasons causing panic)
From Australia where I lived in Vic, SA & NSW I remember on TV - Video Hits, Hey Hey It's Saturday (before that was Countdown which ended in 1987), TV series that showcased morals with-in family environments, Mr Squiggle, Alf, 21 Jump Street, the 6am morning exercise workout (don't remember the name), the Sunday Midday Movie (was an old black and white movie) & Loony Tunes. Hated the Apple Computers but loved MS DOS, public payphones, buying things were a lot cheaper (even factoring inflation), mid 90's speed radar's were a new thing cops were using, barely any fixed speeding or red light cameras for vehicles, collecting empty cereal boxes/tubes etc to donate to primary schools to use for their art classes, teen magazines with relevant articles that had posters in them, gaming magazines, the Playboy articles (not the pictures), newspapers everywhere that were used for many different things after being read, backyard incinerators, local video store or Blockbuster/Video Ezy, having a break while still shopping at Holly's Cafe in Kmart stores, no such thing as politically correct, sadly drive-in theatres are almost extinct, different playgrounds (I'd still use the spinning ones if they were still around - no pun intended), butcher's that gave out free bones with tiny bits of meat on them, I could go on & on.
Anytime I hear "the year 2000," I think of Conan O'Brien and band member Richie Rosenberg, in really high pitched voices going. "In the yeeeaaaarrrrr TWO-THOUSAND!"
Well .. the AOL decline is a shame .. it was a good service in early 2000s ... and come on especially in the US dial up modems are STILL widely used ..
When me and my husband first started dating 17 years ago, I would walk to the busstop to pick him up with my discman while listening to the newest Within Temptation album.
I worked in a hospital at the turn of the century and we had to attend meetings about Y2K. They were telling us all the measures they were putting in place to prevent all the computers from shutting down. People were very worried about this and then, nothing happened.
🤣I remember shoving a pog into our family’s coffee table. It was angled in such a way that it was always visible yet always unable to be removed. That was a dumb stroke of bad luck as a little kid, I wasn’t being nefarious just a moron 😂
Nobody called Mini-Discs "MDs." And if you think "nothing" happened on Y2K, then you have no idea what actually happened behind the scenes to make sure major systems stayed online. Maybe whoever made this should have, I don't know, at least been born and old enough to know a damn thing about what they're talking about?
Video rental is the thing I miss the most and wish would make a comeback. I don't do streaming, only have a few platforms because they were included in my cable package but never use them, and the few times I do want to look for a movie none of them ever have it! It would be so much easier to look for it at a video rental store.
Things I still miss … ICQ and Neoplanet. I was going to say Neopets, but out of curiosity I Googled it and they are still around and celebrating 25 years. I wonder if my pets are still alive? 🤔 I don’t even remember what my account was.😅
or even cell phones? I had my first cell phone at 15, it was $25 for 60 minutes. If you went over the minute mark by even a second, you got charged for another minute. My convos with friends were literally to make plans, and usually lasted 20-30 seconds.
iMac saved Apple. It was a monitor with built in computer. Otherwise you had to have a giant beige box for the computer, separate monitor, separate modem, and a gillion cords. RIP Steve Jobs.
I still think about Y2K very often. If the systems did go back to 1900, why would it be so dangerous to mankinds survival? It still makes me sctratch my head.
The major problem with Y2K was that the years being represented as 2 digits you would go from 99 to 00. Depending on the program, this could mean not being able to acknowledge something is next year because 00 is less than 99 or calculation errors. Imagine if your credit card statement thinks you have not paid your bill for 99 years instead of one month.
CRT monitors have more resolution options? Well I suppose very low, extremely low, and you-have-to-be-joking low are all options. CRT monitors are only preferred for retro gaming, mostly to blur out the hard edges of the low resolution graphics.
Shout out to anyone from the 90s who remember these things
Still have my green iMac with CD slot. Thinking of putting some more modern parts into it. It is still kind of an icon, isn't it?
@@amemabastet9055 that would be awesome.
@@amemabastet9055I do too. And so do my grown kids.
I'm a 90 kid as well, and i still love things from back then, but im so glad that wendobt have that ugly dial up internet sound is completely phone
@ Believe it or not, I always liked that sound and I kinda miss it. K, I’m weird but it brings back good memories. I also loved
Bugdom that came with the computer.
As an 80s baby who grew up in the 90s I miss all of these things 😢💔. Please take me back 🔙.
Same!
83 here, things were so much simpler in the 90’s!
@@Campbelltonya 84 for me, and yes they were. Cheaper too.
@@Cesia845 yes! I was thinking about how much cheaper things were while watching this video.
Class of 86. There are a few on this list I miss.😞
Also Clipart.. It was a major part of the 90s that helped anyone make a sign. It was silently removed from Microsoft Word Dec 1, 2014

The iMac G3 is what got me interested in computers. My elementary schools computer class had dozens of them.
WCW (1988-2001)
ECW (1992-2001)
The WB (1995-2006)
UPN (1995-2006)

Remember Alf ? He's back , in Pog form . 😊
Milhouse from the Simpsons😅
I remember cartoon blocks like Cartoon Cartoon Friday, Kids Wb, Toon Disney ect
Remember those baby wipe containers that looked like Legos?
Fox Kids Club
Toonami 🙌
Loved Kids WB! Was the best thing to me as a kid. I feel bad that kids nowadays won't get to experience that kind of hype
I miss working at Blockbuster was there 2007-2011. Got to ride out the end!

I grew up with Nintendo Power Magazines, and I Absolutely missed those Nostalgia Gaming Magazines SO much.
Or even just PC World or similar from that era. Also, when Car and Driver actually had good writers ;)
Despite only being an infant in the last year of the 90's, I still feel nostalgic for the era, and yearn for the simpler days.
I was 13 in 99, trust me, it was the greatest of times. Sorry you missed out, you would have loved it!
Every time has its pluses and minuses. It didn't seem simpler at the time. Enjoy what you have now.
I think a lot of people do - it was a great time.
Teen magazines and the voiceover guy in movie and TV trailers and commercials
Totally, most magazines operate exclusively online, and aren't in print, and the trailer narrator was so iconic.
@@trinaqI forgot to mention Blockbuster as I went there a lot as a kid. I heard the voiceover guy died in the late 2000s. The guy’s name is Don LaFontaine.
I miss video rental stores.
We had a video place in the Pocono’s called Video USA. I’m not sure if it was a one off or a chain.

Happy saturday afternoon, Rebecca, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
I loved Zima!!! It was one of my go to drinks😂 I liked Orbits and Clearly Canadian water.
One thing I definitely don't miss is that God awful dial-up sound.
Plus, you couldn’t use the phone if you were on the internet, and vis versa.
@smorris281 Yup.
Getting kicked off the internet if someone picked up the landline was so frstrating! 😁
Thus is so true. It was so frustrating 🤣
I loved pogs as a kid so many fights would happen at my school over them that they got banned so many times
I loved going to the video store and picking a video to rent when I was younger!
One thing I miss about that is running into a friend at the video store and chatting for about half an hour before you go home to watch the movie you just rented.
Yeah, that's something I miss as well!
Or an SNES game ;)
And for some of us, CRT monitors caused our first experience in having to wear glasses.
Starting computing early (like age 4?) may be why I needed glasses at 10
Uhm, what is input lag again?
Hah, I was in front of VGA CRT monitors for 15 years, and I didn't start needing glasses till last year, around the same time I got a company issued Macbook ;)
Gen X here. Love this!
I’m still salty the butterfinger bbs never came back. They were AMAZING.
Top 10 Music Collaborations No One Knew They Wanted Until They Happened 🤞
I’m so happy I was a kid in the 90’s. It’s a part of me.
LaserDisc should have been included on the list
I agree. Laserdisc was to films, what MiniDisc was to music. Superior to other formats but so damn expensive, not enough people took to it…
Invention date: 1978 Discontinued: September 21, 2001 (films); July 2009 (production)
@ I had no idea. Thanks 🙏
Nostalgia 101! feels like yesterday!
PB Crisps were AMAZING!

Y2K - Our power went out exactly at midnight. It was only out for a few seconds, but it was hilarious timing.
@Terahnee 🤣🤣 I'm glad it didn't last long! 😄
I loved the 90s. It was special. I mean the new generation don’t know how good the 90s were…
I miss the 90's. That's why my profile photo is of me from October 1996.
Of that decade, 1996 was specifically the best year.
@@the_kombinator My favorite years that decade were 1997 and 1999.

It's funny that we avoided Orbitz so hard back then, and now tons of us love aloe drinks.
god damn this is the earliest ive ever been
90s where golden how miss those years... soooo many good memories as a kid.

Ah the 90s I ran a Hollywood video store, it was so much fun.
I miss PB Crisp it was yummy
I miss going to the video store
Really missed the day when I'm started my summer/school break or long weekends.... me and my family normally went to rent VHS tapes in the 90s....

Dial up modems. The most annoying sound in the world 😂
I was a kid in the 90s. So, unless it was Barney, Power Rangers or Pokemon, I had know idea what any of this stuff was
