25 Reasons Why the ’90s Was the Best Decade: ruclips.net/video/F4mH2s6jhPg/видео.html
I was born in 1970’s . I have seen everything.
No kids cared about princess di dieing. Maybe you were just one of the dorks from da 90s
My space didn't come out till 2003
Everything on this list is just things girls did most of the stuff you listed off is not stuff boys ever did
@@GTSN38yeah pretty much everything on this list is more aligned to what the girls did not the boys end of the kids care about princess die
I am 42 and I could literally overdose on nostalgia. The 90's was the last decade where there was still an innocence to life. They had the best movies, tv, and music. I sometimes sit and just close my eyes and go back to this time on my mind...just immersing myself in all the memories. I cry a lot just yearning for those days that I can never get back. The world is such a 💩show today and I just wish I could be a kid again. Just wanting to relive all those precious times 😢. I thank God for RUclips...one of the only online platforms I really look at. . Long live the 90's !!!! 👍👍👍💜💜💜
I hate to say it but, the internet has a lot to do with how everything is going on in the world. It does have its pros but in my opinion the cons outweigh the pros.
@@debrajones4010
Exactly. My mother and I were just saying the exact same thing the other day 😛
I feel the same way. I am homesick for the 90's. We really didn't know how well we had it! I'm 41 as well and the amount of sadness is crazy! Music, movies and pictures are great time machines
@@melissafoster91
I thank God for RUclips. I can live in my little 90's bubble anytime I want. Which just so happens to be A LOT lol ☺️
So say we all 🤙🏻
I was a 70s kid and I found that a lot of the things you mentioned were true of my generation.
Because we got raised by 70s and 80s kids
@@donaldpump3072maybe you, my parents were boomers
I miss the drive in movie theater so much, it was such a fantastic experience.
No one ever brings up photo albums, my family still has almost a100 of them full of photographs all the way back before the 1900's
Kids growing up in the 80s had the Atari 2600. The one that practically started the video game craze.
God. I'd love to go back to those days.
_"If it's not working, switch off, take out the cartridge, blow in it, put it back, and switch it back on. Magic!"_
I got to play it in the late 80s
My sister-in-law has an old Atari 2600...and still gets it out now & then...even has the gun attachment for the shooting arcade games on it.
I was 10-19 in the 90s…I don’t feel like it was over 20 years ago…I feel so old but I love these videos…❤
I was that age in the 80s. No one kept tabs on us. We are also responsible for the government being more lax in cannabis legislation
I was 11-20 in the 90s and I feel the same way.
Lol I was 2-11 😂😂😂
I was 9 to 18. Same ☺️💜👍
I was 6-16 and just turned 40 last month. Someone says 10 years ago I still think 1990s before it hits me. Time flies
50s here. Our grammar school had no fences. At recess I went to my friends house to see her new baby brother. None of this constant control. There was a patch of woods past the school grounds. Loved to go there playing pirates, Tom Sawyer, Louis and Clark. Endless joy! We could hear the bell and the hoard of kids, sweaty and dirty, would pour out of the "forest". One Saturday we combat crawled through a field of watermelon when the farmer spotted us and fired his shotgun at us! What an adventure! We didn't have sidewalks, just ditches for water runoff. We'd build boats and run following them down through the culverts of each house. It was GREAT! Life for kids today is so boring being locked in their house all the time. Kid bullies you at school? Beat the hell out of him, her. No supervision. You were on your own and wouldn't be a problem to anyone or everyone would defend you. Supervisors just interrupt the normal cause and affect of kids at play.
Yeah yeah because getting shot at by a landowner with a shotgun is a real hoot 😂
We had some fun times for sure. No parents, no supervision, walked home alone from K through 8th grade.
These "kids" today ( kids until the age of 28 somehow btw) have no idea what the world is like outside the door.
My 8 year old grandson spends most of his free time outside and that makes me happy! And there are plenty of kids out there to play with.
Before Amazon if we ever wanted to get something really cool for a birthday or Christmas we'd have to look through the Sears catalog and put our initials next to something that we liked in the kids section. That was what we all look forward to was getting the Sears catalog and saying go crazy.
When I went outside I had to stay in yelling range if my Mom yelled I better get my ass home.
I turned 35 in '95. I had two kids by then. They did play outside a lot! But I always knew where they were. I think being born in the 60's and growing up through the 70's, made me a more cautious parent. I love that you shared the innovation of kids in the 90's. Those WERE my kids. A lot of what you described has been passed down from the previous generations of kids. What people don't grasp is, it wasn't as innocent as we want to remember. There were a lot of very bad people then, too. As kids, we navigated quite a bit of rough environments. There were no child protective services, and we got our ass kicked. Adults didn't believe you when you spoke to bad things happening; we were being "dramatic". I got hit by a car, and never told my parents. They just would have said, "Weren't you watching where you were going?" I feel we strive to be better and present parents to our 90's kids. Some of us went too far to protect, shelter, placate these kids, and we're dealing with that now. I loved being a kid when I could go anywhere, basically alone. I loved being a mom. Parenting is not for the faint of heart. It does take a village because it is a high-wire balancing act, with hardly a net, if any.
I can romanticize some of that time, but not all of it.
I did enjoy your video. It obviously struck something in me, that needed to be said, I guess. 😂
I was a 60s kid, ive got to experience all the great things from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s etc. Each era has its highs and lows. Enjoy your life.
That's awesome you saw a ton of crap.
Me too
I was born in the early 70’s before computers ever existed. I grew up with a black & white tv until around 1980. We didn’t even have tapes until the 80’s. There wasn’t even the ability to record songs off the radio back then. We just listened to hear what we wanted.
We had Wiffle Ball bats to entertain ourselves and major movies didn’t exist until 1977 with Star Wars which blew our minds back then. We had cool stuff like Electronic Football just blinking lights on a screen.
Can you even imagine we rode our bikes around the neighborhood but not much else. Went to the neighborhood park. There was no mall.
ok then this vidio is not for you
@@willr.9903 whatever
Computers were around in the 70s.... Major movies have existed since the 40s your embellishing...
You where poor
Computers were around, but they weren't common. Star Wars was an epic in comparison to many earlier movies.
I was born in 1978, so I do consider myself as a ‘70s kid, although most of my growing up was in the ‘80s. I love both this video and the ‘80s video you’ve done. I was 2 years old when Mt. St. Hellens blew in 1980.
i was born in 78 as well i know exactly what you mean
I was born in the '70s but I just consider myself Generation X. It covers the era and not the decade. X was also the generation that all generations since secretly wish they were a part of.
I feel like we get to use two decades as our “kids” time since you’re 18 before you are considered an adult.
Born in the early 80’s, graduating high school in the early 00’s.. I remember a lot of late 80’s and all of the 90’s. Then the 00’s were my early adult years (was a college Freshman on 9/11).
This list was dead on from age 7 to 17 for me. Though I did try to give my own kids parts of this - large fenced property with wooded area, and two neighbors with the same set up and children.. we opened our fences to each other’s properties so the kids played outside all day, rode bikes, made forts, and had epic hide and seek games… and we didn’t have the need to “helicopter parent” them. Waiting anxiously to see movies on opening weekend with popcorn and drinks. Oh! Putting playing cards in the bicycle spokes so the bikes sounded like “motorcycles”, roller skating and going bowling! - But there are some parts you just can’t recreate.. the area we live in didn’t offer landline telephone services before they were old enough to remember they existed. They never have to ask to speak to a friend through their parents - or super cute older brother - or losing all nerve and hanging up. (Or listening in from the next room so you could tease or threaten to tell mom on your sister for what she and her boyfriend said.) They don’t know a world where they can’t instantly reach their friends, no matter where. Or even “call back after 9 when its free!” cell calls. Or the awful mistake of picking up the phone as a fax was coming through or when your dad was on the dial up internet - knocking him off. Eeek. We watched a movie the week of Halloween and the noise they used to set the spooky scene was the dial up internet screech. My husband and I laughed a lot about that one.
My kids are in high school and my daughter found my old tamagotchi a few weeks ago. Add a battery and it still works. I “babysit” when she is at school. 😂
(Though I hated Titanic. Twister is the best 90’s movie).
That makes you an 80s kid. Guess brains were in low supply back then.
Derp I'm a 70s kid I was 2 when it was over and I was a kid in the 80s derp derp guess that makes me 70s kid derp.
It's not what decade you were born in. Duh.
mt st hellens blew on my dads bday and less then a month later it blew for the 3rd time while i was being born
I grew up between the 70s & 80s. So Had a lot Grand stuff
I wish I could go back to that time something i would change growing up again and something I wouldn't change but I would still have fun not worrying about everything
I love being a '90s/early '00s kid. ❤❤
The 90s is a decade that I'll truly miss. Always had a lot of freedom riding bikes. The Playstation was a very awesome revolutionary system. It introduced my brothers and I to the Resident Evil series.
Looking through photo albums from decades ago feel a lot different than going digital files....
I recently saw a statistic that today's kids spend less recreational time outdoors than is required to be given to prisoners.
I knew you were gonna say toothpaste for cds😂😂😂
Ah yes, recording songs from the radio... while the DJ talked over the beginning and/or end of the song! 😅
Also, i actually saw some tamagotchis being sold in a local shop here so they may be making a small comeback!
Remember how at Christmas time, before amazon wishlists, (in the UK) we used an Argos catalogue and a highlighter? 😂
Goldeneye! LOVED that game!
Remember going to the drive-in in my pajamas when I was a kid. Had a cool playground to play on till the movie started. Loved the concession stand!
Now everyone wears their PJ bottoms EVERYWHERE 🤢🤢🤮
I actually rode in the truck with my cousin and one of my classmates to sneak in to a drive in, saw freaky Friday at the drive in at Dearborn Michigan, in my uncle's 1990 Cadillac Brougham aka the mob boss car 😂 I would have been 14 time.
Choose your own adventure books. Loved em. I also liked the the noise when hooking up to dial up internet. Just the excitement of finding someone to chat to, and explore.
My 90s years were from 3 years old to 13 years old. The Best years of my life.
Coming home from school and watching MTV..... Because they played music back then. Early 90's MTV was the best. GNR, BOYS II MEN, VANILLA ICE, MC HAMMER, METALLICA, AEROSMITH and Sooooo much GANGSTA RAP. I miss it 😢
Oh those were the days. ❤❤❤
Just imagine what it was like for us 1950's kids😂
I bet it was awesome
@@jennifermosley1243 We didn't even have a TV until the late 50's. Even though we lived in a good sized city, we spent a lot of time playing on the train tracks and on the wharves. Putting pennies on the tracks was a definite highlight.
@merrileeheard3889 that sounds cool.
Spare a thought for us 1850s kids
90s kids were the last generation to want to go play outside, want to go to the library and last to be taught handwriting
Cap
We used clocks, Roman numerals
Actually that isn’t quite true…………….children playing outside actually declined in the 90’s because of paranoia about child kidnapping.
I still love the sound of dial ups and miss that sound and the sounds phones used to make when I was younger. The weirdest thing is people who use a ringtone that's a old US, rather than UK phone. Every single time I hear it, I hear The Rockford Files answer phone. 😁
Still friends with my pen pal from Scotland. Started on 6th grade. Was in her wedding as her maid of pen pal😁. She is a wonderful person. Yes, we still write actual letters to each other. The art of writing is gone. So 😔. Good old days😘
I am to a 90s kid and loved it! TheSe really brought me back! Love it!
Such, such nostalgia! This list IS my childhood...and man I really, really wish things could still be this way.
People, put down your phones, computers, tablets, etc...trust your neighborhood and your children (the more you trust the more others will trust too), remember to have and spread happiness and remember your childhood and how much fun y'all had...and even anyone who has had any trauma back then there were still so many good times other than those down times. Plus it helps kids stay healthier (more active and even eat less due to being out having fun all day)! Remember and repeat those times with your children....PLEASE!!!
Especially trust your neighborhood. There are FAR more pedos accessing children online than they ever did by approaching them on playgrounds or streets.
I was born in 81, so I was an 80's kid and 90's teen. My teen years were full of Bill Blass jeans, No Fear shirts, Big Johnson shirts, wearing flannel shirts (thanks to the grunge era), hanging out at the mall on Friday nights, the skating rink or bowling alley on Saturday nights, and begging my parents for my own phone line, and the OJ Simpson trial messing up my after school shows...lol
Being born in 1991, I got to grow up in both the '90s and '00s.
I was born in 1994
Born in 83 got to see the late 80s and 90s.
So much nostalgia. Loved it man. Keep it all up lists
Yes long live us the 90s generation
Manual crank windows in the car. I also remember chat rooms, and stranger danger online.
I needed this.. But now.. I feel SO old. XD I remember ALL of this, oh my god.
Man, I love growing up in the nineties. And,yes, you were cool, Mike 👈
Born in 63... We had these things too.
Cool bruh.
I still remember phone numbers from when I was a kid. And I even think them in my head in that rhythm that you talked about. Also, my son is 13, and he calls commercials “ads” and says he can’t stand them. The impatience drives me crazy! I wish he had learned to wait in his lifetime.
I was obsessed with Titanic in 1997.
I’m 35
80s Baby
90s Kid
20s Adult!!
Nostalgia bloodline!!
I was fortunate enough to experience about 80% of these things on this list (being born in ‘94) I’ve experienced being around the landline 📞, the Movie Galleries/ Blockbusters, RadioShacks, not to mention going outside until sunset, God it was a simpler time back in the glory days‼️
I’m a ‘94 kid too!
I'm a sixties kid, and I remember everything in this bit. I'm proud to state that I waited 9 hrs for the Empire Strikes Back to be released, After I saw it I saw it again for 11 Times! I saw Jaws 4 and the Blues Brothers 9 times...In the theater!!!
I'm 45, was at work tonight with my 18 yr old coworker. He asked what time it was. I said quarter past 11pm. He said, I don't know what that means lol They don't teach kids how to use a clock anymore since everything is digital. Smiled + said 11:15, my friend lol Loved growing up in the 80's + 90's!
Hi Mike! My first job out of college was in a custom photo lab. This was in the early 80s, and there were several 1 hour places around, but we weren't one of those. We catered to the professional photographers, but we also had a lot of everyday customers. One thing that surprised me was the fact that the pictures you took got seen by the employees of the lab. I had always thought that the film was fed into a machine which did all of the work, packaged it and all the workers did was file it. This view was apparently shared by many others. Whenever you found a really good picture, you would pass it around or even make extra prints to show our friends. Some of the most straight-laced looking folk had some triple X rated stuff. I mean, some of these were extremely graphic, even perverted! It was hard to keep a straight face sometimes when they came to pick up their order.
You would really make prints to take home?! Wow LoL
I was born in 65 so I was a kid of the 70s.and our main childhood pass time when playing outdoors all day was trying to stay alive.
Aww man . My childhood 😂. I had a Magic Diary when I was a kid.
My childhood was much the same.. And I grew up in the 60's and 70's and did the same things as the ones noted here... I was 18 in 1973.
I had the battery powered handheld games before the Gameboy, karnov was the one I still remember. Or books on tape, or sleeping for road trips. Much nostalgia on this video, thank you.
I'm so glad how lucky I was being born in 1979 I got to grow up as a kid through the 80's and 90's. I really wish my kid could enjoy the chance to get home finish up homework super quick jump on the bike and disappear until the sun was going down and had to go back home for dinner. The world was so laid back and care free and not as scary as these days appear to be anymore
Not all of these are limited to 90's kids.
I went to see StarWars and Raiders of the Lost Arc many times in the theater, and we made paper fortune tellers.
Before the internet there was always television, even for a sixties kid like me. 📺❤️
I was never allowed out on my own, but then I had a back garden to play in, two brothers and local parks my late father, would take us to.
Tape mixes started in the eighties, I remember doing it, to play at college.
I still use my local library, but you get out books with a barcoded card. There are still books out there to read. One I got out recently, has inspired me to buy the entire set that it is from, when I can.
In the UK blockbuster films always came out in time for school holidays, that's July to September, Easter and Christmas.
Magazines of all kinds for all ages in the UK still have freebies, I love fashion magazines for the free perfume samples. I envy today's kids, they get to buy magazines with loads of free toys.
I always took photos from art college in the eighties onwards, so my pad is full of them. I have ended up with an instant picture camera, my SLR from college, my late father's Box Brownie, a keyring camera which was lousy and an instamatic that stopped working. I really want a digital SLR, better than my pad's camera.
I know my landline number, but can never remember my mobile number. 😁
Such a awesome time to be young
Take away smart phones and today's kids would literally not know what to do. I'm so grateful to be an '80s-'90s kid!
I can just see the look of shock on my nephew and nieces face when my sister told them she was older than the Internet. Thinking she was joking, only to find out she was serious.😂
Windows 95 was released to businesses in July of 1995, but the first day it was on sale to the general public was on my 30th birthday, August 24 1995! Great vid Mike! 👍✌️
I am a 60's kid (Adult, now)...and remember nearly all of these things. My Tamaguchi lasted about three days...overfed it, it died...never got another one.
I can still remember and give numbers from heart still, I turn 40 this year. The most memorable thing about the 90s for me is when Pokémon was introduced in 1997 in Europe and I am still a massive fan to this day.
Oh, Goldeneye… the number of hours my friends and I played that game should’ve been put in the Guinness book of world records. I can’t even describe how addicting it was. Even w four player mode we’d fight over who got to play the next rounds. I usually suggested the losers have to swap out so the winners could see how long their spree could go.
As a young adult who had three small boys who loved McDonalds by the mid 90s, all I can say is: Mike, your parents are friggin' GENIUSES!!! There's no telling how much money that trick could have saved me throughout the 90s.
Oh those wonderful days of spending the whole day outside. I remember leaving right after breakfast coming home around lunch to watch where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego and Wishbone on PBS Kids and then back out on my bike until the street lights came on. My sister's and I rode around what today would probably be considered a very bad neighborhood but to us was no big deal when do all the rules don't accept candy from strangers don't go into people's houses don't get into people's cars if something happens come right home it was a simpler time
I just realized this video is 5 months old. But its the best rewind nostalgia video ive seen. 90's were the best
One thing every 90's kids learned was patience, everything ran on dial up speed
Damn, I sadly miss the good 'ol days😢
SOOOOO TRUE, miss those days. I work at an elementary school, and the kids still go outside. Kindergartners have I PADS CRAZY CRAZY.Darrin North Dakota Former MARINE
Born in 85 so grew up in the 90s. I still remember all of my neighborhood friends home phone numbers, my old house number, my grandparents house number but can't tell you any numbers today as they are all saved in my phone 😂. The 90s really was the last great generation to grow up. Just for the freedom!
I miss the 90s. I wish my kid could experience some of these. I can't wait till I'm old enough to go to a nursing home themed as the 90s that sounds like heaven.
Exploring outside is actually making a major comeback. They just record themselves now
I still remember all of these during the early 2000s
This is a epic video walk threw memory lane love the channel keep up the great work
Nothing will beat being a teenager in the 90’s.
Only because you weren't in the 70-80's
Camping in the back yard, drinking from the hose and playing kickball in the streets.
So exact! I love this!! I grew up in this Era, this exact way, love golden eye for 64❤💪💯
My mom wanted to get on the internet sooooo bad, she had my sister’s old pc that still had a portioned hard drive between DOS and windows
And it just wasn’t working - the manual dial up was especially problematic - she always got a busy signal because when it prompted her to enter her number, she entered her home phone number instead of the isp’s. I will never go to hell because I didn’t laugh when she showed me.
so we decided to replace her cpu and hard drive and surprised her one Saturday and set things up so instead of 6 or 7 steps to connect to the internet she only had to push one button.
I’ll never forget her reaction ‘ok mom, you are on the internet!’ ‘This is it? This is the internet ?!?’
This was when Clinton was banging on about the super information highway, she expected it to look more like Tron 🤣😄👏👏👏
Man I miss the 90’s I was born 1995 I wish I can back be a kid again
Love this as a 90s kid amazing thank u
I was born in the ‘90s so I was a baby, toddler and preschooler in that decade. The components of this list are things school-aged kids would remember.
I remember spending all my time with friends just shoveling dirt and making bike ramps and tabletops, we spent a few summers riding on and improving upon them, it was so much fun because we had that freedom, we were the engineers, we had to think of what should go where, and what angle the jump needs to be, what area’s in the neighborhood we could build on and so on. Then getting to try new jumps after we built them and packed the dirt was exhilarating. We didn’t just make small jumps we made whole trails. If a tree got in our way we cut it down when necessary and just built a small rise or a ramp over the stump.
You just took me somewhere with this story.. You really unlocked a core memory... Thank you
@@MrJames-ww5em Of course, I’m happy that my memories have helped you. Nostalgia is such a unique feeling.
@@saltyark7564 Exactly! I can't explain the feeling I got, it's like I was there in that moment again. Me and my step brothers build a nice trail on some dirt road in Darby PA. I would go there on the weekends with my Dad. I totally forgot about those moments with building and riding the ramp we built. Thanks again my friend.
@@MrJames-ww5em That’s amazing, I hope you continue being able to relive those treasured moments. 😃
I was born in February 1979 so I was a teenager in the 1990s. I went to a bording school and I loved it. A couple of my friends and I had Gameboys. If we had 2 player game, we had to link the 2 Gameboys up with a cable. There was no such thing as WiFi.
My small town still has a drive-in theater and we still go on the weekend to watch the newest movie blockbuster and would not want it any other way
I am the master of the paper map. Loved reading them!
Minor correction, summer blockbusters began w Jaws.
I was a kid in the 80's and 90s. Both great decades
JNCO jeans!! The bigger the leg opening the "cooler" you were in your crew 🤣😁
The 90's were my 20's and 30's, but I very much enjoyed the era.
I had a basket of disposable cameras@my wedding in ‘01 for guests to take pics.
Due to being born in 1971, I was a '70's and 80's kid. A lot of the things you mentioned in this video was true of both those eras as well. We had 8 tracks and records in the both eras, and both plus tapes in the '80's. Atri was the only home gaming system and only well to do kids had them as they were expensive. We loved the pinball machines at our local hometown restaurants and skating rinks. We also loved our local indoor movies theater, but the best was the drive-in movies. My Mom would always make sure we had a blanket that we could sit on along with snacks and drinks. We would get there a little early in order to make sure that we got two spaces, one for the car and one for our blanket panic, that way the car could have a speaker and so could we kids. It was great! The only time for cartoons was on Saturday mornings and to watch them we had to get up early. Climbing trees, playing in the woods, walking or riding our bikes to friends homes and to the neighborhood corner store was cool. And if you neighborhood corner store owner was kid friendly, they would allow you to do small jobs, (ie: dust, sweep, ect.), to earn some store credit to purchase drinks and candy. We had such a cool and kid friendly store owner. She would also allow us credit. I was told once that when she passed away her ledger was found and some kids still owed her money but she never attempted to recover it. Never telling their parents, she just let it ride. I wasn't one of those kids as my debt was paid. Man, those were some great times!
I was in high school in the 90s. What a great time, indeed. It was the last of the great decades. I remember going to prom only cost me $90 (I didn't rent a limo). A regular date was no more than $20 for dinner and a movie. I don't know how kids can date today.
making a mixed tape is so much more meaningful than a playlist
Remember putting a playing card on the fender to the spokes to make ours a motorbike? Pen-palls were fun too! (But my teen days were in the 1960s.)
I used to put soda cans on the back tire to mimic the dirtbike effect
I was on vacation with my 3 kids with the oldest 7, and they ran into my room saying daddy the TV is broken, went to go look and it was a commercial, 😂😂😂they had no idea what a commercial was. They only stream and watch movies. Still blows my mind.
I was a few decades earlier kid. It is sad that children don't spend their days outside playing. When the grands visit, electronic stuff is limited to an hour in the morning, then again before bed. It was not popular at first, but they quickly learned to love playing and exploring the outdoors!
My sister and I, born in the 1950's, regularly, used to record "Top of the Pops" from the television onto a reel to reel Grundig TK 20 tape recorder by putting the microphone next to the television surrounded by cushions to cut out any outside noise. All the Beatles songs. We thought we were the Bee's Knees! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I still use paper maps. There are still a few areas where phones don't work.
