Are you confused?
You must not have been blessed to grow up in the 90's, then. Which makes me feel sorry for you, and judge you at the same time. Fear not, the following list will clue you in on the greatest generation that will ever exist. As for my fellow 90's kids, take a moment to remember how great our childhood was:
1. This was equivalent to Field Day, especially because this miracle often occurred when it was a half day at school
2. Today, Ms. Frizzle would be in jail, and every kid on The Magic School Bus would rich AF because their parents would've sued the shit out of the school after finding out their kids spent the day in someone's intestines to learn about germs. In the 90's, we were just jealous of all those field trips.
3. No matter how mangled your fingers got, you didn't stop riding these. Even when it cost you a fingernail or two because gym teachers were savages and threw a ball into the mix.
4. Shut up. We were cool.
5. Well, shit.
6. "How many pieces do you wish?" I do have to point out that we didn't use our shoes for this, but our fists instead.
7. "Not the mama, not the mama, not the mama!"
8. I have no words
9. So much risk went into this. God forbid you were caught and the teacher made you read the notes in front of the class. Did it stop us? No. No, it didn't.
10. If you know what COD means, then you likely had hundreds of CD's that you never actually paid for. And you are also part of the reason why COD is no longer a thing. I, too, am at fault, but where else was I going to get a Spin Doctors CD for a penny?!
11. Jellies: teaching young girls "fashion over comfort" since the 90's
12. The only time Elijah Wood was in bed with me was when the poster of him fell off the ceiling and caused a heart attack at 2:47 am.
13. Every kid on the playground would cringe and break their necks when they heard that sound of skin and metal to see who was in current need of a skin graft
14. Sacrifice at its finest: bass boost or battery life?
15. I wonder if he could afford an Uber?
16. Why were we allowed to even play this in school? I still have nightmares from the very graphic visual of my covered wagon being swept away when trying to cross the river. Nothing was as heartbreaking as losing an ox, though
17. RIP, Blockbuster
18. At least we didn't have 24675768 channels
19. She brushed your tears, too
20. You might as well have been in the god damn movie theater.
21. Well how bout that. Twenty years later and this is just about accurate.
22. And then doodle alllllllllllllllllll over it during science class
What are some of your favorite memories from the 90's that I didn't include?
