Reminiscing about the 90s is a lot of fun, especially for 90s babies.
90s babies are like a culture of their own. They had so many cool toys and TV
shows that no other generation will be able to experience. That’s pretty
unfortunate for them, because it was such a fun time to be alive. Sure, the
world has made some incredible technological advances, but I would give almost
anything to go back to the simple 90s days. If you were a 90s kid, you
remember all of these things.
Fortune Tellers
All of your dreams either came true or were crushed quickly by handmade fortune tellers or by the game MASH. Were you destined to live in a mansion or a shack? You had to accept your fate. I wonder how many of these came true?
Mad Libs
This is basically how you know what nouns, adjectives, and verbs are. It was so fun sitting around for hours laughing at crazy stories.
Flip Phones
You were the coolest person in school if you had a Razr. Flipping the phone open to talk to your bestie was the definition of cool. If you had the pink one, you were as legit as it gets.
T-9 Texting
Let's just say, the struggle was real to press the number 7 four times just to get the letter S. But somehow, we were all pros at it.
Disposable Cameras
You couldn't just view your pictures right away like you can now with a digital camera. You had to take it to a drug store and actually get them printed to have a memory of that Kodak
moment, only to realize afterwards that you don't like the way you look in any of them.
TV Shows
What ever happened to Kim Possible and The Proud
Family? Disney Channel will never be the same.
VHS Tapes
Future generations will never understand the struggle of rewinding the tape to watch a movie again. At least if you stopped watching for a little while, you can begin the tape right where you left off.
Blockbusters
Going on Friday nights to pick out movies for the weekends (and then being charged over and over again with late fees) was the start of an ideal weekend.
Hit Clips
Those 15 seconds of Britney Spears' "Stronger" was pure bliss. We needed nothing else. No matter what, we tried to collect all of our favorites.
This was every girl's paradise. It was the only place you could go to buy flavored lip smacker, trendy clothes, and colored hair extensions. Why would they change this to Justice? It's just not the same.
I know all of us 90s kids have our own memories, but we can all agree that we were and always will be the best generation. Growing up in the 90s and early 2000s was a blast. These were only a few of the reasons why I love being a 90s baby. If I were to name everything, the list would never end! I can't wait to see which things, if any, will eventually make a comeback.
