1. Cartoons.
Have you noticed that the cartoon shows today are pretty lame? Back in the '90s, Saturday mornings meant marathons of "Doug," "Hey Arnold!,"" Rugrats," "Courage the Cowardly Dog," and many more. These shows made being a '90s kid worthwhile, even if they were just on for 30 minutes.
2. Fewer electronics.
Growing up in the '90s, we didn’t have as many electronics as kids do today. Instead, most of us had a Super Nintendo, GameBoy, or maybe just maybe a PlayStation. But we always found ourselves playing outside, almost every day. Back then, going outside was worth the time and the trouble (see: Ding Dong Ditch). Playing games like tag, hide and seek, and red light, green light was significantly more rewarding than staring at screens.
3. Disney Channel.
Even though I mentioned cartoon shows, Disney Channel deserves its own category. Back then, Disney shows didn't repeat the premise of a show over and over again (like "Liv and Maddie" when Disney ran out of twins). On that note, it was also rare to use the same actors for more than two shows. Oh, and let's not forget about those movies that were actually good.
4. This gets its own number. Don't ask.
5. Bill Nye The Science Guy.
Nothing will compare to the feeling of walking into your science classroom and seeing this picture on the roll-in television.
6. Awesome game shows.
Guts, Wild and Crazy Kids, Double Dare 2000, Legends of the Hidden Tomb -- should I really keep this going? This is probably hurting someone feelings out there... millennial kids.
7. Music used to be art.
Tupac, B.I.G., Wu-Tang Clan, N’sync, Backstreet Boys, and 98 degrees -- just to name a few. If these names sound familiar, well, they should. These individuals were real artists. What happen to music that used to come from the heart.
8. VHS tapes had personality.
I’m looking at you, Nickelodeon.
9. Remember these?
10. It’s alright, because you're...
And even though we tell the millennial kids they have it easy, we can always look back on this decade and say…
